Guests say

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with positive remarks about the quality of the beds, furnishings, and the warmth of the central heating. However, a few guests suggest that additional toilets and larger pans would enhance comfort for larger groups.
The cottage is well-equipped with modern kitchen appliances, good showers, and entertainment options like a smart TV and Sonos player. Some guests suggest improvements such as additional kitchenware and bathroom amenities, which slightly impacts the score.

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. Note: The maximum capacity of this property is 6 adults and 1 infant

It has a parking space suitable for a medium sized family car which in itself is unusual for Bakewell and a real bonus. Slightly up hill from the centre of the town so be aware a reasonable level of fitness and mobility is needed.

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.

We found the property clean, well presented and comfortable. It has all the facilities you would expect, it was nice to have good lighting, so often holiday properties are dimly lit meaning you cannot read. Itâs ideally located to investigate Bakewell on foot and the wider area by car. Parking can be a real issue in Bakewell so off road parking was most welcome. We would definitely book again if visiting Bakewell in the future.
