Guests say
Ashford Cottage in Bakewell offers a peaceful stay with beautiful views and lovely walks to the local pub. Guests appreciate the clean, well-equipped accommodation and the nice touch of a Bakewell pudding on arrival. While there are some concerns about maintenance, the overall experience is positive.
Reviews generally describe the cottage as clean, with one specifically noting it as 'nice clean cottage, well equipped'. No significant complaints about cleanliness were mentioned.
The location is praised for its beauty and peacefulness, with lovely walks and proximity to a pub. The scenic views are a highlight for guests.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, mentioning 'comfy beds' and a 'power shower'. However, there is no extensive feedback on the overall comfort of the living spaces.
While the cottage is well-presented and equipped, there are issues with maintenance such as a non-working extractor in the bathroom, lack of cleaning equipment, and a safety concern with an unlit driveway leading to an accident.
The provision of a Bakewell pudding, biscuits, and milk is a thoughtful gesture appreciated by guests. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind bonus and not guaranteed with every stay.
