Conveniently close to the centre of Bakewell with two precious parking spaces. A sunny garden with outdoor seating and a some views of the surrounding countryside. The owner was friendly, helpful and informative but in no way intrusive.
Kay
Perfect location and a lovely little courtyard garden to sit out in. The parking is such a bonus. Would definitely recommend.
Julie
Very well appointed and such beautiful furnishings and decor. The grandchildren loved the den area in particular, this is the second stay for them and very very excited to be returning. The garden is perfect for eating and drinking outside, weather permitting !! We met Joy the owner who is a delightful lady, brought us lots of treats, fresh eggs from her own hens, cake, wine and treats for the children. All in all a great time was had by all and wouldnât hesitate to book this cottage again. Thank you Joy and Keith.
