Dog Friendly Cottages In Derbyshire

What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage is perfectly located near Bakewell - we could walk into the town for shopping, for food and for many beautiful walks in the hills.

  There is a short but very steep hill up to the cottage but it was ok for all of our party. The neighbours to the cottage are very friendly and would often chat to us on our way out. Whilst we were there the weather was lovely and we had a brilliant holiday relaxing, shopping, visiting other towns and doing walks around the area. Further up the hill there is a school which the neighbours told us rents out rooms to people during the holidays. On the Saturday night we stayed there was a very loud party at the school into the early hours of Sunday which kept some of our party awake. The parking on the front of the house was plenty big enough for a fiesta and saab. The cottage itself was comfortable, modern and clean. Our party consisted of four adults and two teenagers and the house sometimes felt a little small for all of us The furnishings are good quality and the shower is lovely. The kitchen appliances are good but the kitchen would benefit from more crockery as there was only 6 of everything and 6 of us staying there - this meant every time we ate we had to wash up before the next meal. The beds were comfortable with good bed linen but I would recommend you take more pillows as these are very flat. There is a small patio area outside which is a lovely suntrap (but only 4 chairs were provided to sit outside).

  Lovely cottage very pretty inside.

  Clean and comfortable and very close to the centre. The walk down to the town was fine but it’s very steep walking back up so would be mindful of that. Also, the driveway in the photo is deceiving. We managed to just park a BMW 1 series and a mini on the drive but had to roll the mini back to open the door as not wide enough and there’s very little near by for on road parking so two small cars max. Also cottage was cold. boiler worked on and off all weekend. Owner was very helpful to help us sort it out the first night then it went off and came in again and wouldn’t go off. I didn’t want to spend all weekend talking about the boiler so with the 9am check out on the Monday which I think is too early we only stayed two nights. Enjoyed it just a shame it wasn’t cosy and also no starter pack ie pint of milk in fridge would have been nice at least. Just a non alcoholic bottle of wine?? Bakewell itself is lovely though. We had amazing food at a pub called The Woodyard and I’d highly recommend this food and drinks excellent great cocktails. Lovely bakewell pudding shop sold amazing cake too. Would come back I’d just bring throws and cushions to make it more cosy :-)

  A charming, well-equipped, nicely furnished and very clean cottage set in the picturesque village of Bakewell.

  We were very impressed on arrival and appreciated the off road parking (and bottle of wine). As stated in the description, this cottage is near the top of a steep hill but I dreaded the albeit short walk back from the village centre more as each day passed. Taking a detour through the churchyard definitely helped. Things that could have improved our stay: We take UK cottage breaks each year and the standard arrival time is 4pm and departure 10am so we were disappointed that we couldn’t arrive before 5pm and had to vacate by 9am. Also the cottage is described as dog friendly but a week before our stay the owner sent us useful instructions which stated that dogs aren’t allowed on the sofas or upstairs. Our dog has separation anxiety and sleeps in our bedroom so we wouldn’t have booked this cottage if this information was given in the description. Properties should either be dog friendly or not dog friendly not something in between.

  We came to corner cottage for our honeymoon for a week and absolutely loved it!

  So clean and cosy. Bakewell is a perfect location to enjoy many of the walks and local villages. The neighbours are lovely and bought us over a bottle of wine for just getting married. There were two little improvements that could be made. One being the towels provided, quite small, we are average sized people and struggled with them! Another being that there was no tea/coffee/pint of milk provided for when you get there which would be a welcoming touch. There was a bottle of wine which was nice bur after arriving very late after a long day of our wedding it would of been lovely if there was a some refreshments just to get you started. That is no way a reason we wouldn’t return to this cottage it really is lovely! We will be back soon! :)

  We enjoyed our stay but were disappointed with: Kitchen was just about adequately supplied with pots/pans etc but would benefit from being better stocked as per other properties we've stayed at this year.

  Several kitchen items were greasy/dirty including a load of "gunge" on a chopping board and several pans that were very greasy/dirty. There was a dirty sock in the lounge - perhaps the cleaners were in a hurry despite the property being available for cleaning from 9 to 5? The listing is incorrect and misleading - it says, "This very flexible accommodation offers three king-size double bedrooms". It should make clear that the small bedroom has two narrow single beds and a children's wardrobe, also no bedside table(s) because there's not room for them. This would be fine if the listing makes this clear but we had two adults in this children's room. Other than these points I would have given a 5 star rating.
