The property is consistently described as clean, with one review specifically mentioning clean and comfortable bedding and towels. No negative comments about cleanliness were made.

The location is praised for its beauty and proximity to Bakewell. However, some guests experienced difficulty finding the property due to Sat Nav issues, slightly affecting the score.

Guests found the beds comfy and the house clean. One review mentioned a bedroom without a window and oversized chairs in a small kitchen, which suggests some comfort issues for larger groups.

Facilities like the swimming pool and games room are highlights. However, there were complaints about a lack of TV updates, heating issues, and insufficient kitchen equipment, which indicates room for improvement in maintenance.

A charming little market town with a charming rural feel that offers a nice assortment of stores, eateries, and bars in addition to regional farmers markets. The town's historic market hall dates back to the 17th century, and a contemporary recreation facility with a pool is close by. In the Peak District National Park, Bakewell is conveniently located for visiting this stunning area. Within reasonable driving distance are Britain's top theme park, Alton Towers, as well as the rocky Black Peak and the softer limestone White Peak. The spectacular caverns in neighbouring Castleton and Little John's burial site in Hathersage are both well worth a visit, as are the other stately homes to be visited, including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, and Hardwick Hall to name a few. See the spectacular Edwardian Opera House in Buxton, which was created by Frank Matcham, who also created the London Palladium.

  • Steven

    That was even better! Would highly recommend the cottage’s to anyone looking to get away from the fat pace of life and slow down and relax.

  • Mark

    The interior design of the individual bedrooms was selective to individual taste but clean and fresh. The maintenance manager “Mark” was extremely helpful and very approachable to assist us during our stay, thank you. My only recommendation would be to better signpost the cottages on the busy main road A5055 for those arriving at night, as Sat Nav guides you elsewhere. A thoroughly pleasant stay.
