The location is truly first-class. In a matter of minutes you can walk into Bakewell’s historic town center, yet you never feel crowded because the barn sits on a quiet lane. On-site parking right beside the house adds the kind of everyday ease that makes unpacking groceries and day-tripping across Derbyshire simple.

What We Offer

A stay at Bakewell Barn is designed around freedom and flexibility. Unlike a hotel, you have whole-house privacy and the ability to cook, lounge, and come-and-go on your own schedule. The owners and managers are noted in reviews for being friendly and helpful, offering a warm local welcome while respecting your privacy.

Accommodation for Families & Small Groups

The layout is ideal for a family of four, and reviewers remark that the size is perfect for that number. There’s space to spread out, watch a film together, or sit around the dining table for a meal made from local ingredients picked up at Bakewell’s Monday market.

Prime Peak District Base

Most guests plan day trips to the wider Peak District National Park. You can hike to the Monsal Viaduct, explore the limestone caverns at Castleton, or visit Eyam village. Returning to Bakewell Barn in the evening means you can walk to a pub or restaurant without needing your car.
