Church Cottage

Excellent property, good facilities.

Ideal location for exploring the Peak District. Property is located in centre of Bakewell, so able to walk to pubs, restaurants etc. Owner provided some useful info on pubs etc & places to visit. We were a party of 6 - including 2 children. The basement “den” with TV was ideal for them.

A comfortable and welcoming cottage.

Perfect location with parking. Generous welcome pack. Would definitely recommend a stay at Church Cottage and would book again.

A warm and cosy cottage for a three day break in December.

A lovely setting on the green overlooking the church and within easy walking distance of the town centre. Clean and beautifully furnished. Would highly recommend.

Lovely cottage and really helpful owners who provided a travel cot and high chair specially for us.

Warm, comfortable and very well situated. The children loved the ‘den’.

Another really lovely weekend away at Church Cottage in Bakewell.

We love the location and the quirkiness of the cottage and look forward to returning again….Joy is such a lovely owner and even tho she was poorly she still popped over with some lovely treats for us to enjoy….hope you are feeling better! ☺️

This is a pretty cottage, beautifully furnished and decorated and set in a great position.

The comfortable accommodation was perfect for our group of three couples with three equally good sized bedrooms. We lit the woodburner and had a cosy evening round the fire. We absolutely loved staying here.

Lovely cottage in the center of Bakewell, parking included, although might be a bit tight for 2 large vehicles.

Joyce the owner was very welcoming and it was easy to get in touch with her if need be . Lovely goodies left for us in the cottage . A very enjoyable stay indeed

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely house in Bakewell.

It offered all the home comforts you could ask for and was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, and equipped with everything we needed. The onsite parking was a real bonus and we were a few minutes easy walk into town.

Lovely cottage in the heart of Bakewell.

Appointed as per the details and photos, with everything you need to self-cater, or within walking distance (less than 10 mins) for the local restaurants etc. Joy (the host) was excellent to communicate with and very responsive.

Very beautifully restored cottage in prime location.

Very clean, well equipped and has comfortable beds. It has parking space, which is bonus in Bakewell. Place to return.

Lovely cottage with everything we needed for a delightful stay.

Very clean and comfortable, with the best of Bakewell on the doorstep. Joy made us feel very welcome and provided recommendations for local areas of interest. Hope to return in the future!

What a delightful cottage, full of character and centrally located within Bakewell, which we found to be a perfect central base for our excursions into the Peak District.

The owners of the cottage were very welcoming and available should we have needed them. Although the cottage has a small footprint, it packs a lot in with a layout that makes it feel bigger than it is, lots of half-floors interlinking and still finds space for three bedrooms!!

Lovely property in an ideal position .

Within walking distance of all that Bakewell has to offer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Church Cottage.

It is beautifully decorated and very clean. The beds are comfortable and we had everything we needed during our stay. Joy was a great host. It is a very easy and quick walk into Bakewell which is a lovely town full of shops, pubs and coffee shops. We had a great curry at Raja’s and a lovely evening at Thornbridge Brewery, which does great pizza. An added bonus was our stop at Wye Bakery on the way back to buy some lovely bread and pastries for breakfast., We would love to return to Bakewell and to Church Cittage.

A beautiful cottage having everything provided for a super break.

Clean, comfortable with the town just a few footsteps away - perfect. Car parking with the property a real bonus

Church Cottage is a lovely cottage.

Beautifully decorated with real attention to detail with co-ordinated furnishings in each room. The cottage was meticulously clean and the festive welcome pack greatly appreciated. Our only frustration was not getting any feedback from Sykes either in an email, telephone or text message regarding facilities for an infant in the cottage. This was not a reflection upon owner who was also frustrated that she had not heard from Sykes following our attempts to contact them. Owner really friendly, phoned on day before stay and sent some recommendations for eating out. She then popped in upon our arrival to say a quick hello.

Wow!

A wonderful stay in central Bakewell!

We usually go for farm houses in the middle of nowhere but that means we need to get in the car everyday to get anywhere. Church cottage made a real welcome change allowing us to walk down into Bakewell in a minute or two. We have visited the area plenty of times before so it all felt very familiar. The cottage was lovely and full of quirky features. The kids loved the bean bag cave and the kitchen was full of everything we needed, allowing us to even bake a birthday cake for our youngest. Thanks Joy.

Many thanks to Joy for a lovely Christmas holiday at Church Cottage.

A great family holiday base.

Very comfortable, well equipped and cosy cottage in a brilliant location to explore the local and wider area. Good communication with the owner regarding local restaurants and things to do!

The property was really comfortable and clean.

Its position was perfect for exploring Bakewell and the surrounding area. Joy, the owner, was very easy to contact and was happy to assist if needed. Would definitely book again.

A sweet, cosy cottage.

Beautiful cottage perfectly located in Bakewell.

It has parking which is a bonus. It just has everything you need. We couldn't fault it. Thank you to Joy for popping by to make sure everything was Ok , that was really thoughtful. We will definitely book again.

A perfect combination of a character cottage with modern amenities, very comfortable and well presented.

Conveniently close to the centre of Bakewell with two precious parking spaces. A sunny garden with outdoor seating and a some views of the surrounding countryside. The owner was friendly, helpful and informative but in no way intrusive.

Fabulous cottage, beautifully presented with everything we could ask for.

Perfect location and a lovely little courtyard garden to sit out in. The parking is such a bonus. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely amazing stay, beautiful cottage in perfect location.

Very well appointed and such beautiful furnishings and decor. The grandchildren loved the den area in particular, this is the second stay for them and very very excited to be returning. The garden is perfect for eating and drinking outside, weather permitting !! We met Joy the owner who is a delightful lady, brought us lots of treats, fresh eggs from her own hens, cake, wine and treats for the children. All in all a great time was had by all and wouldn’t hesitate to book this cottage again. Thank you Joy and Keith.

Overall the property is excellent.

Also great garden area; we had some good BBQs. Very handy for the town centre facilities and busses etc. Very enjoyable stay.

We had a fabulous stay in this lovely cottage in Bakewell.

an ideal spot for exploring the Peak District

Lovely cottage in a great location.

Perfect for a few days exploring the area. Very practical new kitchen with everything you need. The bedrooms are lovely with beautiful furniture. Only used the shower in the main bathroom as shower in en-suite a bit too compact and not that practical. Car parking at the rear is a bonus but only really suitable for one car.

Church Cottage has to be one of the most beautiful cottages we have ever stayed in .

It was spotlessly clean , had all the modern comforts that life requires , a wonderful comfy bed with quality bed linen & towels & lovely tasteful furnishings as well as a fully equipped kitchen & parking for 2 cars was a real bonus . Hair dryers in every room & the all important cafeteria. Loved Bakewell & the surrounding villages … so much more to see & do so will just have to come back hopefully

What an amazing place to stay,the location is fantastic and the surrounding area is so beautiful!

We will be back

Absolutely lovely.

We would have loved to stay longer. Cosy cottage in a beautiful location.

Woow an amazing cottage, so clean and comfortable.

Brilliant location, so quiet yet a 2 min walk to centre of bakewell (justa minute to the main bus stops and access to loads of destinations).

We absolutely loved the house.

We arrived to a lovely welcome hamper and the house was tastefully decorated for Christmas. The house is beautifully furnished with lovely comfy sofas and three downstairs spaces to sit in. We cooked a lot and could have done with some more kitchen equipment such as scales, whisks, measuring spoons and more bowls and saucepans but on the whole the kitchen was well equipped and the mini-food processor came in very useful. The upstairs bedrooms were warm and cosy and beautifully decorated. The owner contacted me to ask if we needed any recommendations and we really appreciated that. We also met her too, and this made a real difference to our holiday too. The house is right in the centre of Bakewell and had parking. We enjoyed a lovely Christmas in Bakewell and it was a perfect place to go to at this time of year.

Charming & characterful cottage in a brilliant location.

Well equipped, comfortable, beautifully decorated, very close to centre of Bakewell, excellent coffee shops at the end of the road, quiet, convenient parking... Perfect base for a restful break.

Church Cottage is a real gem.

It's full of character and charm and equipped to the highest standards throughout. Very clean and comfortable, the owners had gone to great lengths to make it a perfect place to stay. We held our annual Uni friends reunion in Bakewell this year and we all agreed that after many reunions Church Cottage has raised the bar and is by far the nicest place we've stayed at yet. On the practical side, the off-road parking is a real bonus and the bike locker very handy. All-in-all a fabulous cottage in the heart of Derbyshire, our only regret being that we didn't stay longer.

A great stay in an amazing cottage!

Fantastic modern amenities, wonderfully kept, clean and comfortable. A surprise birthday card and bottle of prosecco topped it off! Perfect cottage for 6 of us, and a great snug that the kids really enjoyed! If we're ever back in the area we would definitely book again.

Beautiful cottage in a great location.

The cottage is very clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The house was amazing.

Great location, beautiful inside and really well designed. Stunning! The interior design was outstanding and really well equipped with everything you would need. Thank you for a great stay. Recommendation for other visitors, I had read a comment about fitting four cars on the parking space, the listing does only say two parking spaces and if you are planning on booking work on that basis. The space is tight but perfect, it’s off the road, secure and right at the back of the house but not big enough for more than two cars.

Had a wondeful break at Church Cottage.

Location was great close to all amenities. The accomodation was great and nice touch from Joy the owner leaving us a bottle of vino. We would defintely return. S Ellis

The property was very clean quirky and comfortable.

It was right in the centre of Bakewell but just up a little side road so was nice and quiet. Joy came to see us which was very nice and she was a lovely lady. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay, the cottage was really comfortable and the perfect location .

We even managed to park 4 cars in the parking space meant for 2!! Our only comment was that there weren’t enough saucepans but other than that everything was great . Thank you for a lovely break .

We enjoyed a fantastic stay at the cottage, it was clean and well maintained, and well appointed with everything you could need.

The garden was so lovely, and it was a pleasure to sit in the garden and enjoy the view over the town to the hills beyond. The location was absolutely perfect, just up the hill away from the hustle of the town, which is very busy, but we couldn't hear any noise from it or the traffic - just the church bells which we loved, (The teenagers - not so much) But it was close enough to access the Monsal trail and walks by foot. Just a couple of things to mention, the outside table probably hadn't been used this year, so could have done with a little love, and maybe even a table cloth available to cover it up, and the shower in the ensuite was unusable. Water came out in a dribble, which was either scalding and dangerously hot, or freezing cold. We absolutely loved Bakewell, and will be back to the Peak District, and maybe even back to Church Cottage

Absolutely lovely cottage!

So beautifully decorated and thoughtful touches for guests. Appreciated the personal communication. Very happy guests.

We just stayed at Church Cottage, Bakewell for a week and had a great stay.

The location is fantastic and the cottage is lovely. A very nice dining kitchen, multiple living spaces and three great bedrooms, the master with en-suite. Joy (the owner) called ahead to see if we needed any advice for our stay and popped around shortly after check in to make sure that we were settled in - there was also a welcome pack with some essentials and Prosecco and cakes. Very nice. The cottage is very comfortable, full of character, very well presented, clean and is a great place as a base for discovering Derbyshire. The off street parking with plenty of space for 2 cars and a garden with plenty of seating and a BBQ are also great benefits. We will definitely be back.

Church Cottage is an extremely well presented and well equipped cottage.

Very comfortable and within easy walking distance of Bakewell town centre. The owners were very welcoming and responsive when we had an issue. We would thoroughly recommend this property!

Booked church cottage for a weekend to celebrate my 60th birthday with 4 friends.

This cottage is a little gem in the heart of bakewell, Derbyshire. The cottage has been very tastefully refurbished to a very high standard and is in keeping with a cottage style house. The beds are comfortable with high standard bed linen throughout. It is extremely well equipped in the kitchen with crockery, utensils, glassware and cutlery. The garden area at the rear of the property is a bonus and I would imagine in the warmer months it would be lovely place to eat Al fresco. The log burner fire is a bonus for the colder months and makes the cottage so cosy on an evening. Logs and fire lighters were supplied. The house had been cleaned to a very high standard , the bathrooms were spotless . I Would definitely recommend this cottage for a short or extended stay, we really didn’t want to leave. Many thanks to Joy for a lovely stay and making my 69rh birthday memorable.

This was our second visit.

Since our last visit 12 months ago a new kitchen has been installed which is top notch. The only issue is the tight drive for parking. Our son in law caught his car on the wall on the way out which put a damper on the weekend. Otherwise the cottage is lovely

A beautiful cottage in a fantastic location.

Lovely decor, well kept and very clean. Great communication from the owner. I highly recommend and would happily return.

A wonderful cottage in great location everything as it should be.

Three minus points No kitchen wall cupboards so no storage Freezer totally ice bound unable to open drawers,spent one and half hours defrosting as we had frozen food to go in. First floor shower drain blocked ,fills up as you shower,made temporary repair but needs attention Nothing serious just poor houskeeping

I highly recommend this beautiful cottage which is just a short walk from the centre of Bakewell.

Immaculately clean and is sympathetically furnished in keeping with the age and character of the property. Kitchen was equipped with everything needed to live there. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble.

Really great cottage in a fantastic location.

Very clean and comfy beds my only area for improvement would be the electric shower in the en-suite. I found it very difficult to retain the temperature for the duration of my shower but it did not adversely effect my stay. All 6 of us had a great time playing games in the basement, having a curry from the local takeaway and visiting Chatsworth House Christmas market and garden illuminations. Thank you xx

Had a lovely weekend at church cottage with my friends to celebrate my birthday .

On arrival the owner called around to see if everything was ok and she had sorted some lovely welcome goodies for us to share . The cottage interior was decorated to a very high standard and it was really cosy .Every thing was perfect and it was just a short stroll into the heart of Bakewell .We visited the Chatsworth Christmas market before our journey home which was a perfect ending to a great weekend.

Fantastic Cottage, kids loved the snug!

Very comfortable, kitchen kitted out very well. Location is fantastic, very close to shops, pubs and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would highly recommend.

Extremely well-located property, a 2-minute walk downhill into Bakewell.

Warm cottage with everything required to have a good cottage break. As described, there is parking for 2 cars however it is tight for 2 large cars. There are 2 separate sitting rooms, one with a TV in addition to a downstairs den also with a TV. Neither sitting room had sufficient comfortable seating for 6 people to sit together either to talk or watch the TV. We would have appreciated information in the cottage about recycling and which bins outside were for which kind of waste. A small issue is that there weren't 6 plates, 6 bowls or 6 glasses that matched. Its a lovely cottage in a lovely town.

We had a lovely stay at Church Cottage and were very pleased with the Bakewell tart, wine etc left by the owner, thankyou The bedrooms were lovely and the decor was very tasteful; the only thing that could have been better was if there was a full length mirror in the room (we had the bedroom with the two single beds decorated in blue) Bakewell is a lovely town and the surrounding countryside is beautiful Would definitely recommend Church Cottage to our friends and family.

A Essex

We enjoyed our stay at the Church Cottage, it was clean and comfortable.

We had a welcome text and visit from Joy , also things like milk etc in the fridge. There are basic items in the cupboards if needed. The cottage is close to the town making it a good location to stay.

Church Cottage was a delight; we were very pleased with all aspects of it especially the nearness to the town centre and yet it was quiet.

The only negative was the lack of drawers and hanging space in the smaller of the twin rooms.

Nice clean comfortable cottage.

Would have liked grab handles in the shower rooms. Excellently placed for transport, restaurants and shops.

A lovely, cosy cottage which was very clean and comfortable.

Good position in the middle of Bakewell. Great communication from Joy. Thank you.

Beautiful, spacious and comfortable cottage with everything you need in the perfect location to explore all that Bakewell and beyond has to offer.

We can highly recommend and hopefully we will return again. We couldn’t have wished for anything more delightful to celebrate our special anniversary week – THANKYOU Joy - you have thought of everything!

A warm and very welcoming cottage within a short walk from Bakewell and all the shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants.

Loved every minute of our stay at Church Cottage and Joy was the perfect host. The phone call pre-arrival and lovely welcome gift on arrival were really nice touches, thank you. Can’t say enough good things about Church Cottage and Bakewell - the perfect combination and I would highly recommend.

The property was exactly how it was described beautifully furnished and well equipped as well as being very central.

The owner was extremely helpful and communicative getting in touch before our stay and during our stay to see if there’s anything we needed. Highly recommend.

This was a perfect long weekend celebration for a special birthday for my dad.

The cottage is gorgeous, cosy with plenty of space for relaxing (there were five of us) and beautifully maintained. The owner Joy was very helpful. I've stayed in Sykes cottages three times and this was by far the best experience. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely spacious & comfortable cottage that provided for all our needs.

Location in the heart of Bakewell made it easy to explore the town & further a field.

Church cottage is just delightful, it has everything you need and more.

We appreciated the Christmas decorations and lovely treats left for us too. An enjoyable and relaxing few days in a lovely location, in a warm and cosy cottage. thank you Joy

We had a very comfortable and warm winter break in this high quality and well-appointed cottage.

We appreciated all of the extra touches which welcomed us and which made the cottage feel festive! Whilst there was plenty to do in Bakewell and the surrounding area, and many lovely food shops to explore, this was a cottage we were very happy to spend time relaxing and unwinding in - the family could spread out and there was plenty of space for everyone.

Such a beautiful cottage; it felt like everything had been considered and was very well equipped.

It was super clean but felt homely and so much thought had gone into the decor and the setup of the cottage. It was in an ideal location in Bakewell with lots of shops and pubs/restaurants in walking distance.

Nice little cottage close to town centre

Fabulous stay in the idyllic cottage a short stroll from the village.

We had snow & storm Arwen whilst there and the cottage was so warm! The TV den was a unique feature and had Netflix pre loaded for those who don’t subscribe. Bedrooms very comfortable and beautiful interior design. One tiny comment relates to the main bathroom which was quite cold as the towel rail heating wasn’t very effective. We loved the split level lay out & plenty of room for a family without being on top of each other ! I’m addition the owner contacted a few days before to check all ok and whether we needed any restaurant recommendations or shopping doing in advance. Any time I contacted the owner she was absolutely brilliant & so helpful. The edible/drinkable gifts left for us on arrival were also a lovely touch. Overall a fabulous week and would definitely recommend and return. Thank you

We had a fabulous weekend Church Cottage was just lovely so clean and tidy, not at all tired looking very well decorated and with everything we needed for 3 couples.

The only thing I would say is that maybe swapping out the freezer for another fridge would be really good as we did run out of fridge space and didn’t need a freezer. The fridge has a freezer compartment perfect for ice cubes

Lovely cottage in a great location.

Welcoming arrival and treats when we arrived we also a great gesture. Bed were comfortable, the cottage had everything we needed. Thank you

The cottage was delightful and in a super spot, it was clean and very welcoming, the owner had been so welcoming, heating was on and logs left for a cosy fire in the evenings, the only suggestion we would make is to put a mattress topper on the double bed as a little hard, the bedding was superb, we had parking off the road, we had a fantastic time, loved it , we would recommend it to everyone thanks

Wonderful cottage.

We couldn't find a tea pot but this was a very small thing. We will definitely book to stay again.

Lovely cozy cottage, close to all amenities Bakewell has to offer.

Quality decor and furniture, warm welcome by the host. Highly recommend.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location with lots to do.

We had an issue while staying which the owners dealt with very quickly and efficiently.

A very pretty cottage in a lovely bares. The cinema room was a huge success with our grandson.

The house is ideally situated for walking into Bakewell and is within 30 minutes of many Peak District attractions.
