Good location, though parking spot is a little bit away from property. Lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated. Bedrooms and bathroom were nice, but downstairs could do with a bit of TLC. Close to great local amenities. Enjoyed.

Loved our stay here. Oak Lea has a real cottagey feel about it. It was clean and well appointed without being a showhome. We've stayed at some places before that feel like you shouldn't really be touching anything. Walking around the lanes felt like going back in time. It was far enough out of town to feel away from it all, but close enough to walk. Plenty to do for us in the local area. Would love to come back.

Brilliant property! Clean, very well equipped in a great location. A parking permit is provided, but, if you don't have a car, no problem. Its a 5 minute walk to the lovely Bakewell centre where you can catch numerous buses. The area the property is in, is very attractive, near the historic church and Bakewell museum. I would highly recommend this property
