A small, cosy cottage, full of character, that is only a short five-minute walk from Bakewell. Very well equipped despite its small size with a mini kitchenette and shower room. The host had even left some milk, butter, bread and cereals for a first day breakfast which was very kind. Great location (near multiple pubs and a co-op) and one on-site pRead morearking space. The property is next to the Monsal Trail station car park so you get a reasonable amount of footfall past the cottage during the day. If you have the blinds open people will be looking in but we didnt mind that too much! The bed pulls out from the sofa so not the most comfortable thing in the world but does the job and helps to keep the room nice and open during the day. Reasonably clean but the rugs could do with a bit of a wash! Ideal for a couple or solo traveller for a short stay. We were really pleased with our stay and thought the cottage was very charming, ideally located and good value for money. Hide

A comfy TARDIS like property. Well equipped and excellent location for the Monsal Trail and short walk into Bakewell itself including Thornbridge Brewery, which would recommend for great beer, wine and pizza.

The property was a delight in that it was quirky and well-equipped especially given how small the living area was. It is a little out of the main town of Bakewell but ideally suited for walking.
