The property is as described and close enough to walk to town centre and back.

Ian United Kingdom

The location was great and convenient for the town. The property was warm and spacious enough for 4.

Lisa United Kingdom

The cottage was lovely, the rooms where spacious. Woukd definitely go back.

Sara United Kingdom

Well-equipped kitchen, good facilities in the house in general. Great bathroom. Lovely setting.

Deborah United Kingdom

The property was booked as being near to The RHS Chatsworth flower show. It is a lovely cottage, very comfortable, especially the bed which was very welcome after days out walking. The lack of internet meant that it was a very relaxing break and added to the overall "away from it all" feeling.You need to be prepared to walk up a fairly steep road from the town and not mind the car being parked further along the road but that did not bother me. The owner very kindly rang me at the end of my visit to make sure everything had been ok which it had.

Clare United Kingdom

Lovely cottage, very clean. Perfect for our stay in Bakewell over the Christmas Market weekend. Would stay again.

Louisa United Kingdom

Good location, 10min walk to town, well equipped cottage.

Anonymous United Kingdom

Absolutely wonderful! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Perfectly appointed cottage very comfortable. Highly recommended
