The pretty village of Baslow lies at the north end of stately Chatsworth House - home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. The village has many unusual and picturesque features including a triple-arched river bridge guarded by a toll house whose doorway is only 3 1/2 feet high! Baslow offers a range of village amenities including shops, pubs and restaurants. Close by is Bakewell, the capital of the Peak District, and home of the famous Bakewell pudding (definitely not tart!), still made locally to an old and secret recipe. Bakewell is at the scenic heart of the Peak District, and with Alton Towers also within easy touring distance, there is plenty for the whole family to enjoy.

An 18th Century, stone built terraced cottage, situated in the centre of the delightful village of Baslow, on the main road, just 500 yards from the Chatsworth House estate. The cottage retains much original character and charm including beamed ceilings, original fireplaces and attractive Georgian windows. The accommodation, set over three floors, is decorated in a bright and cheerful style, and to the rear is a shrubbery garden and rockery with a large patio, ideal for summer BBQs. All this coupled with its central position in the very heart of the Peak District National Park, and close proximity to Bakewell and Chatsworth House, makes Tom’s Cottage the perfect holiday base.
