Why Choose Bakewell Holiday Cottages?

Our guests consistently mention the exceptional cleanliness, friendly communication from the owner Nicky, and the convenience of having a family member close by to assist with any issues. Phillip Williams noted in his review, “Had issue in house but he was there in minutes,” reflecting our dedication to guest satisfaction.

The 10-minute walk into Bakewell town center is a highlight for many, though the return involves a steep hill, adding to the charm of this hillside location. Parking is a premium in Bakewell, so our off-road spaces for two cars per cottage are a significant advantage.

Exploring Bakewell and the Peak District

Bakewell is a thriving market town known for its famous pudding, weekly Monday market, and historic charm. The cottages are ideally located for easy access to the Monsal Trail, a picturesque route for walking and cycling. You’re also a short drive from iconic attractions like Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall.

Guests can enjoy a wide range of local shops, pubs, cafes, and restaurants. The town hosts annual events such as the Bakewell Carnival, Bakewell Show, and the Acoustic Music Festival. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Peak District National Park offers endless opportunities for hiking, climbing, and enjoying the scenery.
