Guests say

The Old Cobblers Cottage in Bakewell is a beautifully presented, cosy retreat praised for its central yet peaceful location, making it ideal for exploring the town and surrounding countryside. Guests consistently highlight its cleanliness, comfortable bed, and well-equipped kitchen. The owner is frequently described as friendly and helpful. While the cottage is compact and the TV is small, these are minor points compared to the overall charm and convenience. Parking can be challenging at times, but the provided permit is appreciated. Overall, it offers a delightful base for a relaxing stay in the Peak District.

Cleanliness is a standout feature, with numerous guests describing the cottage as spotlessly clean, extremely clean, and beautifully presented. Only a couple of minor mentions of cobwebs were noted, but these did not detract from the overwhelmingly positive feedback.

The location receives near-universal praise for its proximity to Bakewell's shops, restaurants, and attractions, as well as easy access to walking and cycling routes. The central yet quiet setting is frequently highlighted as a major advantage.

Guests consistently mention the cottage's cosy atmosphere and especially the comfort of the bed. The cottage is warm and inviting, though a few guests found the space small, particularly for taller individuals, and the bedroom warm during hot weather.

The cottage is well equipped with kitchen appliances, utensils, and a good shower. Some guests noted the oven and hob could benefit from updating, and the TV is repeatedly described as small. Parking is convenient with a permit, though spaces can be limited.

The owner is described as friendly, helpful, and easy to contact, contributing to a welcoming experience. While some guests noted a lack of standard amenities such as tea bags or toiletries, there is no mention of gifts; therefore, guests should note that such extras are not guaranteed.

    The cottage is lovely and cosy, has everything you could need for a long or short stay. Kitchen had everything I needed to cook breakfasts, lunches and dinners. I just needed to go shopping for the ingredients and theres a co-op 10 min away in the center of town and an Aldi 30 min away via a scenic walk.Bed was very comfy, soft but not saggy or creaky. Shower had hot water and good water pressure, bathroom small but big enough for one person to move around in.TV small and a bit old but you don't come to the peak district to sit inside and watch TV. And wifi was fast and perfect.

    Lovely, well equipped cosy cottage a few minutes walk from town centre with all its amenities. Only 15 minute walk to Monsal Trail was an added bonus. Good quality furnishings and excellently equipped kitchen ( albeit small). We did manage to park reasonably close to the cottage and appreciated the resident’s parking permit. Would have appreciated an outside light as it was very dark when returning in the evening.

    This is a fabulous little cottage. The bedroom was a good size and the bed was super comfortable. The location is ideal for exploring Bakewell and the surrounding area. I would highly recommend it and I would stay here again. The only downside is the cooker wasn't the best but it didn't bother us too much.
