Bakewell 2.3 miles. In the heart of the Peak District National Park on the outskirts of Bakewell in Derbyshire is Lower Cowden Farm. This impressive, detached, stone farmhouse rests on a working farm and benefits from a large lawn, an elevated position over the countryside with breath-taking views and a homely interior welcoming six guests and two of their beloved canine companions. After traversing through the encompassing countryside, cross the threshold and head straight into the fully-equipped kitchen to help rustle up a hearty meal that can then be enjoyed as a group upon the dining table. Later, step into the sitting room where you can sink into the plush sofa in front of the warmth of the gas fire ahead of flicking on the Smart TV for family film night with tasty treats. When yawning begins, climb the stairs to indulge in a soothing soak in the bathroom before catching your rest in either the king-size with a handy en-suite shower room or the two doubles. Lower Cowden Farm boasts a central location in the Peak District National Park, close to quaint pubs like the Cock and Pullet which serves delicious pub fare, and a variety of drinks and to iconic towns such as Bakewell, where you can stock up on essentials.

It was clean and well equipped. It was cosy and warm. The owner responded quickly to a query I sent by text. Itâs located well for visits to Bakewell, Matlock and Buxton, as well as the Monsal Trail and the Tissington Trail. There is a footpath from the farmhouse into Bakewell if you fancy a walk. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

The house is set off a little lane and if you want the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere this is perfect but not even 5 minutes drive you having the lovely town of bakewell full of shops pubs and restaurants. We definitely would stay again
