  • "Lovely, cosy cottage."

    It was super and we loved the history of the cottage. We enjoyed hearing the church bells! The cottage was perfect for wandering in to Bakewell and buying food and doing a bit of shopping. The bike store was useful. We love Chatsworth House and it was so near to the cottage. We had a warm welcome from the owners of the cottage. We would definitely like to return.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. We’re so pleased you had a lovely stay and enjoyed Bakewell and the surrounding area. We’d be delighted to welcome you back Nick and Kim Property Owner

  • "What a lovely location for exploring Bakewell and Wye Dale."

    Our car did not move from its spot in Yeld Road all week, as we explored so many walks straight from the door. The cottage is cosy, comfy and well equipped. Our two spaniels settled quickly. Great to have the Monsal trail nearby, but we also ventured to Haddon Hall down stream as well as Monsal Head and the cascade, upstream. Returning to the cosy cottage after each adventure was a real pleasure. We would highly recommend Knoll cottage.

    Hi there. We’re so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed Bakewell and the surrounding area. And lovely to hear you had a good time at Knoll Cottage. We always hope our guests feel relaxed and at home. Thank you for your lovely comments and feedback. Nick and Kim Property Owner

  • "Holiday cottage itself was lovely."

    Some lovely features however some that were not. Toilet would not flush properly despite doing the half and full flush as instructed. Shower was poor. Very hit and miss with temperature. Guidebook said it was to do with low was pressure but the low water pressure light on the shower didn't indicate it was. Cottage is on a busy road so quite noisey. Only one of the bedrooms had the window guards but the main room would have benefited from window guards too as would the downstairs room which didn't have it. Dining room would benefit from a sofa rather than 2 small chairs so people could sit together and enjoy the feature fire. Noise was throughtout the day and night. The road would benefit from a slower speed limit to help with noise. As this was the bigger room more seating or different seating would be preferable. Kitchen was well equipped and location of the cottage is close to the town so all restaurants/pubs and shops etc.

    Thanks for your feedback. We’ve taken everything on board. All the best Nick and Kim Property Owner

    Perfectly located for a nice walk or just a stroll round Bakewell. We really appreciated all the items available at the cottage; dishwasher tablets, washer tablets, toilet rolls, washing up liquid, tea, coffee, biscuits, milk etc etc. This cottage has everything you need and a little more, it’s spacious, clean and comfortable. We would recommend this without hesitation.

  • "Knoll Cottage is a wonderful base for a holiday in the Peak District."

    It’s comfortable and well-equipped with everything you need and super close to the quaint shops, friendly pubs and pudding shops of Bakewell. The area is brilliant for walks and really close to all the national park attractions. We had absolutely no issue with on street permit parking nearby and enjoyed the large dining room and separate sitting room. The bedrooms are spacious and it was fantastic to have so many useful little touches like dishwasher tablets, plenty of tea towels and bath towels and some lovely chocolates and quality coffee. There is a small enclosed yard perfect for drying off the dog which I’m sure would be a lovely breakfast spot in the warmer months. We were there over New Year and the cottage was warm and cosy. Our only niggle was a temperamental shower which is affected by poor water pressure. It’s fine if you don’t have any other taps on or flush the toilet!

    Happy New Year! Thank you so much for your comments. Apologies for the shower. We completely understand. The bathroom and upstairs will be our next project for this year. All the best Nick and Kim Property Owner

  • "We have just come home from a long weekend at Knoll Cottage."

    We were two adults and a dog and the cottage was a perfect size for us. The location was great - a short walk to town, but far enough away that it’s a bit quieter. The house was clean, the kitchen was really well equipped and the bed and sofas were very comfortable. The towels smelt wonderful! The welcome chocolates were gratefully received and this is possibly the only place we’ve stayed at that has decent sized mugs and pint glasses! The only improvement I could suggest is having a bin with separate compartments in the kitchen to make recycling easier but it’s a small thing. Thanks for the relaxing holiday

    Thank you so much for your lovely comments. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. We always hope our guests feel comfortable and relaxed. Good tip regarding kitchen bin. Nick and Kim Property Owner

    I’ve stayed in dog friendly cottages before but the care and attention made to make you feel welcome was amazing. Chocolates and dog treats on arrival ….. everything provided in the kitchen (dish washer tablets, washing up liquid etc). The house was immaculate, and smelt lovely throughout. The little yard at the back was very secure. Location just brilliant. Even though there wasn’t parking at the property we had no problem finding a space. All in all very highly recommended

    Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We always hope and want our guests to feel comfortable and at home. Great to hear that’s how you felt at Knoll Cottage. Apologies for delay in response. Property Owner

  • "A lovely comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage with everything you need for self catering."

    Good selection of TV options including Prime. Lovely posh chocolates and posh treats for dogs! Thank you. The shower is temperamental, it turns freezing cold or scolding hot for no reason. Personally we found the cottage noisy due to the road where it is situated. It really is very busy, constant flow of traffic from 6 am until 7 in the evening. The master bedroom would benefit from secondary glazing similar to the second bedroom. Parking was difficult, there didn't seem to be enough B parking bays for the amount of B parking permits! When we arrived we unloaded outside the cottage but it was quite dangerous due to being on a bend on the busy road. There is free parking for 2 hours 8am - 8pm behind the church, so overnight we managed to park there a few times and move the car at 10am. Word of warning.. a few people got tickets so they do check! Overall we enjoyed our stay and enjoyed Bakewell and the surrounding areas. Thank you.

    Thanks for your feedback. Apologies for the shower. It seems that being an electric shower, it can be affected by water being used in other parts of cottage such as washing machine, dishwasher, loo flushing etc. Our next project will be to redo the upstairs and we intend to remove the electric shower. We’re also intending to replace the windows with double glazing so that should help with the noise. Bakewell does tend to be very busy in the summer months and parking is at a premium and can be tricky. Yeld Road (first on left after cottage) has unrestricted parking. Sorry that these issues impacted your stay but pleased to hear you enjoyed Bakewell and the surrounding area. Nick and Kim Property Owner

    The house is well laid out and some lovely touches like the owners phone numbers and a small box of chocolates greeted us as we entered. There is everything you need in the kitchen, you shouldn't need to bring anything with you. We loved spending time in the house when we had some down time from walking or spending time in the village. Bakewell is well located for trips to Buxton, Matlock and Matlock Bath, and many more places to visit in the lovely Peak District. We plan to visit Knoll Cottage again this year, so I suppose that's as good a recommendation as anyone can give.

    The first morning on bending my head to use the toilet I cut the top of my head badly and there was a lot of blood.My head is still tender and sore.At other times during our stay my son and I hit our head several times forgetting it was there.It needs a piece of foam put on the corner and a mind your head sign.The main light in the main bedroom was annoyingly dim and the single beds in the other bedroom were uncomfortable and that room was noisy from the boiler in the bathroom.I sent an e mail to your company about this but it was returned.I feel a part refund is necessary

    Thanks for your feedback. We have never had any issues raised before about the cupboard above the toilet, but following your feedback, we have stuck a warning sign on the cupboard and also attached a foam corner protector as suggested. We have changed the bulbs in the main bedroom to be brighter We cant do much about the noise from the boiler - we find that with both doors closed it is fairly minimal. In a small cottage it is difficult to have the boiler remotely located. Property Owner

    We could see you’d put a lot of thought into it. It was very nice to see the chocolates and appreciated your telephone numbers clearly seen on the table. The only thing we thought for improvement was to have the bedside lights a little brighter especially in the double bed room as reading in bed wasn’t possible with them. A small thing though as we loved our stay.

The property

Resting in the heart of the Peak District National Park, just a stone's throw from the centre of Bakewell, Knoll Cottage is a delightful, double-fronted, stone-built terraced cottage offering a wonderful base for your next break to Derbyshire.

Lovingly restored and boasting a quaint, traditional style, whilst perfectly incorporating contemporary amenities, Knoll Cottage is the ideal property for a couple or small family seeking a holiday to Bakewell.

Following a day's adventure, head in through the original front door opposite the church into the small hallway with original Fossil limestone flooring and take the door into the bright and calm dining room on your right.

Rest in the comfy chairs to watch television, warmed by the characterful electric stove-effect fire, settled within the traditional stone fireplace.

Make your way into the refitted kitchen to find an excellent array of appliances including an electric oven and gas hob, fridge with ice-box and a dishwasher.

Cupboards contain everything you might require for a fully self-catering break.

Come together around the dining table in the attractive dining room for mealtimes, or alternatively, step outside into the enclosed courtyard where patio furniture creates a tranquil setting for dining alfresco.

There is lockable access route to the road through the gate in the far corner, through which you can return after a day's activity, accessing the secure bike store / heated boot and coat drying room from the courtyard.

Retire to the snug to rest and relax in front of the electric fire, with two plush sofas and an armchair to choose from, the refurbished original oak parquet floor with local pictures on the pretty pale green walls all adding to the homely atmosphere as you enjoy watching the TV or having a relaxed drink and a chat.

Head up the staircase to find original polished wooden floors and two lovely bedrooms with period features, antique furnishings, and elegant bed linen.

The king-size room offers views of the church from one side and overlooks the patio from the other.

The charming twin bedroom enjoys pretty bedheads with a delightful tulip pattern, along with a wonderful wardrobe, with both rooms served by the spacious bathroom, comprising a walk-in shower and a large corner bath for relaxing soaks!

When you can tear yourself away from this tranquil property, venture out into the diverting town of Bakewell, most notably known for its unique and tasty pudding, it has plenty to offer for a great staycation.

Browse the local outdoor market, which occurs every Monday to pick up local produce, souvenirs or just essential shopping, with the livestock market proving to be a theatre-like and unique experience, certainly for city-dwellers!

Stroll along the banks of the River Wye which runs through the town, passing mellow stone buildings and the medieval five-arched stone bridge, with a picture-perfect scene around every corner!

Discover the history within the walls of The Old House, a Tudor house featuring local historical artefacts and exhibits, pick up some sweet treats from the Original Bakewell Pudding Shop, and sample the delicious food at one of the town's restaurants or pubs.

Spend the day admiring the spectacular Chatsworth House, the filming location for Mr Darcy's Pemberley for the 2013 adaptation of 'Pride & Prejudice', expect to be astounded by the grand rooms, opulent artwork, vast grounds and charming playground and farmyard, great for children!

Another excellent outing can be had at Haddon Hall, while Matlock Farm Park is another fun-filled place for all ages.

Evening meals or drinks out are well catered for in the wide range of bars, restaurants and takeaway outlets.

Bakewell is perfect for walkers and cyclists alike to base themselves for accessing endless beauty spots to traverse, with the peaks of Monsal Head, Fin Cop, Stanage Edge, High Wheeldon and Mam Tor all within easy driving range.

For a memorable stay in the charming Peak District town of Bakewell, bring your loved ones to Knoll Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
