A lovely stay in this cosy little cottage. Its well equipped and close to the local amenities. A short walk along the stream brings you straight into the centre of Bakewell where there are shops and places to eat and drink. It is an excellent walking area too.

Lovely nice little place in a great location for Bakewell. Parking included was very handy, although a little tricky to get the space free initially. Would have been useful to have some essentials like shower gel, milk, salt and pepper etc provided but all in all a great place to stay and would love to return.
