Starry Cottage
This is Starry Cottage in Bakewell. It's about five minutes walk from the centre of town, so you can leave the car.
It's an old cottage, from around 1820, so it's got a bit of character. That means the walls aren't perfectly straight and the ceilings are low in places. The stairs are typical cottage stairs, so they're a bit steep and narrow. You get used to it.
It sleeps four people over two bedrooms. There's one bathroom with a shower. It's been renovated inside, so you've got a wood burner in the living room and things like granite worktops in the kitchen. It's clean and comfortable. It's got a 4 Star rating.
You're allowed one well-behaved dog. There's a small walled garden out the back, which is nice for a cup of coffee.
Being in Bakewell is the main thing. You can walk to all the shops, pubs and cafes. The Monday market is good. The river is just down the hill. For walking, you're right in the middle of it all. The Monsal Trail is very close, which is a flat, traffic-free path along an old railway line. Peak District National Park: Monsal Trail.
Chatsworth House is about ten minutes by car. Haddon Hall is about the same. They're both worth a visit if you like that sort of thing. Chatsworth House.
Within half an hour you can drive to Buxton, Castleton for the caves, or Edale for the start of the Pennine Way. Chesterfield with its crooked spire is about twenty-five minutes away.
The cottage has WiFi, a TV, a washing machine, and all the bedding and towels are included. We can provide a cot and a highchair if you need them.
For planning days out, the Peak District National Park site is useful.
