Also the stairs are quite a challenge if you are elderly or have mobility difficulties. However everything you could possibly want was provided and it is very homely. Comfortable bed, clean and well maintained although my husband had a problem with the toilet seat not staying up. Well positioned for access to the town. All in all though it suited us well as a couple wanting a home from home for some r and r.

Very well appointed, and comfortable. The wine and cookies was a nice touch. Thank you for the flexibility in the checkout time as well.. A basic shampoo (or a comment to bring one) would help, as would a second small toilet. Overall - the location, the thoughtfully appointed place - everything was great! We would come back again - highly recommended!

A lovely warm comfy base to come home to on a cold winters afternoon. Visited Chatsworth for the Christmas decorations in the house and the lights in the garden it was fantastic. Haddon hall was another great afternoon out as well got us all in the Christmas spirit. Would love to visit again as we love Bakewell Thank you to the owners for the lovely welcome goodies.
