Perfect! We found Oak Lea, welcoming and very clean, you wouldn't know it was dog-friendly. Appreciated the welcome pack upon arrival and we like self check-in, knowing the owners are contactable if needed. Oak Lea is spacious and we found it very warm and cosy in the evening. Would recommend and will return. Thank you.

Wow, what a fantastic cottage! Oak Lea is a wonderful country cottage, less than 5 minutes walk to the centre of Bakewell, but with large rooms, comfy sofas in the big lounge and a fantastic superking bed in the main bed room. We love cooking in and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was also great to have a parking permit and we found parking easily near the church each day. Thanks to Steve for the lovely welcome pack and we would highly recommend.
