The cottage was clean & overall our 3 night stay was pleasant enough. However we thought it was overpriced for what it was, certainly not 4star accommodation, as it lacked basic equipment & was in need of some tlc. There was no welcome pack, no instructions as to how to work the fire or central heating system, no hairdryer, & the over the bath shower had no handrail & was tricky to step in & out of. The decor was in need of refreshing, & the ‘patio’ overgrown & outdoor furniture unusable. When we arrived we found there were no light bulbs in the fittings on the steep stairwells! We had to plug in a bedroom lamp on the middle landing to light our way. (Thankfully this was resolved the following day). Finding a parking space near the property was hit & miss, & the short walk to the centre of Bakewell is steep. This property is certainly not for the faint hearted or those with limited mobility & we're sorry to say we won't be returning

Nice clean cottage but lacking some basic kitchen items such as measuring jug and casserole dishes. No foil or cling film etc. The two flights of stairs were a bit of an issue both being very steep with no handrails for the last couple of steps. Not ideal when you are in your seventies, having to go down to the bathroom during the night was awkward also. The road down into the town is also very steep. Overall fairly good but wouldn’t stay again
