Guests say
The Old Cobblers Cottage in Bakewell receives high praise for its charming, cosy atmosphere and superb central location, making it ideal for exploring the town and surrounding Peak District. Guests consistently mention the cottage’s cleanliness, comfortable bed, and well-equipped kitchen. The owner is described as friendly and helpful. While the cottage is small and the TV is noted as being quite small, these are minor points compared to the overwhelmingly positive feedback. Parking can be a little tricky at times, but the permit is appreciated. Overall, guests thoroughly enjoy their stays and would happily return.
Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, with many guests describing the cottage as spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and well maintained. Only a couple of minor mentions of cobwebs or clutter, but these are rare exceptions.
The location is universally praised, with guests loving the central yet quiet setting, proximity to shops, restaurants, and walks. The only minor drawback is occasional difficulty with parking, though the permit is valued.
Guests find the cottage cosy and the bed very comfortable. The cottage is warm even in colder months. A few mention the small size and a warm bedroom in hot weather, but overall comfort is rated very highly.
The cottage is well equipped with kitchen appliances, utensils, and a good shower. Some guests note the TV is very small and the oven/hob could be improved. The log burner is sometimes unavailable for use. WiFi is present and works well.
The owner is described as friendly, helpful, and easy to contact. While some guests mention missing amenities like tea, sugar, or toiletries, others appreciate the well-stocked kitchen. No gifts are mentioned, and amenities may vary, so these are not guaranteed.

Great location but parking is a bit hit and miss, but overall really enjoyed our holiday. Took the open top bus from Bakewell to Castleton which was a great day out.

Bakewell is a lovely peak district town, a gateway to exploring further afield. Facilities within the town are first class, excellent pubs and restaurants as well as supermarkets. If the outdoor life is for you then Bakewell takes some beating!
