Cleanliness is consistently highlighted, with many guests describing the cottage as immaculate, spotless, and very well maintained. Only a couple of isolated comments mention minor cleaning oversights, but these are rare compared to the overwhelmingly positive feedback.
The location is frequently praised for its proximity to Bakewell town centre and the Peak District, with guests enjoying the convenience for walks and local amenities. The only recurring note is the steep hill, which may be challenging for those with mobility issues.
Guests find the cottage very comfortable, with cosy furnishings, good beds, and a peaceful atmosphere. Some mention the smaller bedrooms and single bathroom as potential issues for larger groups, but most found the accommodation warm and inviting.
Facilities are generally well regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen, modern appliances, and reliable heating. The off-road parking is a significant advantage, though some guests found it tight for two cars. Occasional suggestions include more kitchen utensils and an extra set of keys.

About this property
Corner Cottage is a timeless and elegant cosy semi-detached cottage in the heart of Bakewell in the Peak District. Dating back to the 1880s, the cottage has been sympathetically restored capturing its character with its stone mullion windows yet offering 21st century comforts. This very flexible accommodation offers three king-size double bedrooms, all of which can be twins on request, to suit every party and the woodburning stove provides cosy comfort whatever the season. The cosy open plan living area adds a sociable element to your holiday and the well-equipped kitchen has everything you need. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of this delightful Peak District village, Corner Cottage is just a short stroll down a steep hill (slightly harder on the way back uphill!) to all the local facilities.
With off road parking for 2 small cars you can rest assured that parking will never be a problem. The patio is the perfect place to unwind after the day's adventure and the thoughtful lighting creates a magical atmosphere. Bakewell is the home of the Bakewell Pudding and there are some wonderful riverside walks along the banks of the Wye. Corner Cottage is ideally placed to be used as a base while discovering the best of the Peaks. As Britain's first National Park the area boasts some of the country's finest landscapes covering an area of similar size to Greater London without the vast crowds!
From stately homes and National Trust properties to the most breathtaking and dramatic views there is so much to offer here you will be returning sooner than you’d think!
An attractive little market town retaining a delightful rural atmosphere and offering a good selection of shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as frequent local farmers markets. There is an old 17th Century market hall in the town centre and a modern leisure centre with swimming pool nearby. Bakewell is situated within the Peak District National Park and is ideally placed for exploring this beautiful region. Both the rugged Dark Peak and the softer limestone White Peak are within easy reach, and Alton Towers, Britains premier theme park, is only a short drive away.

Well equipped and clean. Parking space which was great as nearby parking permit holders only. Red wine on arrival which was very nice touch. Ideal location for exploring nearby attractions. 9am departure time could be reviewed. Rubbish collected but unfortunately no recycling facilities. Overall though very enjoyable stay and would return.

The owner was really helpful when I lost the key details and had to call her, and she checked to make sure we were in and settled. We were there during a cold and wet weekend but we were warm and comfortable, we lit a fire to add to the atmosphere only. The facilities were great, there was everything we needed, including the hairdryer! The beds were comfy, the shower was great, loads of storage if you were there for a longer stay, we loved it, and will book again.
