Guests say
Bookkeepers Place in Bakewell is praised for its excellent location, comfort, and the convenience of private parking. Guests appreciate the quietness despite the central location and the added bonus of a private balcony. The property is well-equipped and the owners are commended for their approachability. However, there is a mention of a decline in cleanliness standards.
Most guests found Bookkeepers Place comfortable and well-presented, but there was a notable mention of cleanliness not being up to standard on one occasion, with specific reference to kitchen appliances and utensils.
The central location in Bakewell with private parking and proximity to local amenities and attractions is highly valued by guests, contributing to a very positive experience.
Guests report that the flat is comfortable and quiet, with a suntrap terrace, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, there was a minor issue with a non-working light on the staircase.
The property is described as well-equipped and positioned, with the added benefit of private parking. A minor maintenance issue with the staircase lighting was noted, but overall, the facilities are well-regarded.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

It was the 4th time of staying at Bookkeepers Place and we thought that the standard of cleanliness and gone down. The toaster was full of crumbs, we had to clean the hob and the fridge was cleaner when we left than when we arrived. Also the grill pan had to be washed before use.

Well situated flat in the middle of Bakewell. Despite it's location, the flat was very quiet. Outside terrace a real suntrap (if only we had better weather 🙂).
