Brilliant property! Clean, very well equipped in a great location. A parking permit is provided, but, if you don't have a car, no problem. Its a 5 minute walk to the lovely Bakewell centre where you can catch numerous buses. The area the property is in, is very attractive, near the historic church and Bakewell museum. I would highly recommend this property

Oak Lea was a lovely place to stay, warm and cozy and very clean and well equipped. Plenty of places to eat and drink. Great place to explore the area. The welcome pack was a real bonus so we thank the owner for that. Jean and Steve and not forgetting Eddie our little dog.😀🐾
