Had a great week at Bookkeepers. We loved being so close to town and the car parking space made things extra easy. Bakewell is a great starting point for many adventures into the Peak District and we loved coming home to Bookkeepers each evening- so warm and cosy and with all the amenities you could possibly need. We ventured out onto the balcony too to watch shooting stars- amazing!

It was the 4th time of staying at Bookkeepers Place and we thought that the standard of cleanliness and gone down. The toaster was full of crumbs, we had to clean the hob and the fridge was cleaner when we left than when we arrived. Also the grill pan had to be washed before use.
