Bakewell 2.3 miles. In the heart of the Peak District National Park on the outskirts of Bakewell in Derbyshire is Lower Cowden Farm.

Later, step into the sitting room where you can sink into the plush sofa in front of the warmth of the gas fire ahead of flicking on the Smart TV for family film night with tasty treats.

Cottage is set in a beautiful area alongside a working farm so some machine noise is to be expected, however I wasn't expecting a diesel generator to be turning on and off all night. The cottage was equipt with most things but was lacking in a decent sharp knife in the kitchen. The mud room was brilliant for cleaning and drying the dogs after a good walk as well as to store outdoor clothes. We enjoyed it so much so that we have just booked another trip later in the year.

It was clean and well equipped. It was cosy and warm. The owner responded quickly to a query I sent by text. Itâs located well for visits to Bakewell, Matlock and Buxton, as well as the Monsal Trail and the Tissington Trail. There is a footpath from the farmhouse into Bakewell if you fancy a walk. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

The house is set off a little lane and if you want the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere this is perfect but not even 5 minutes drive you having the lovely town of bakewell full of shops pubs and restaurants. We definitely would stay again
