“Lovely cottage, it was clean and comfortable.”

Really good location for Bakewell and other attractions, would definitely return to this cottage. Only slight downside is no parking but this was manageable.

“There was a lit of little extras in the cottage.”

Put milk. Flowers and general stuff like washing up liquid etc. Just made it feel the owners cared.

“Lovely place, ideal to explore Bakewell.”

The road outside is quite busy, parking can be a nuisance (dependent) and there is no Wi-Fi but, really, that is nit-picking. Place is cosy, clean and welcoming. Bakewell is very dog-friendly and is a lovely little town. Chatsworth is about 15 mins as are a host of small picturesque villages, this is a good base. All in all, well worth it.

“All in all everything was good.”

And as per the description. There were a few things that could be better but there always is, but I believe things are being done bit by bit. Very happy plenty of everything in the kitchen. Nice n cosy lounge. Bedrooms and bathroom very big and clean and tidy plenty of storage space.

“Lovely cottage in the heart of Bakewell.”

well furnished with lovely bedrooms and bathroom. kitchen well fitted. living room faces the nearby road which is busy in the daytime so a little noisy. could do with a net curtain to prevent passers by looking in. parking very close by with residential parking permit. 5minute walk into Bakewell town centre so ideal location to explore this lovely market town. The landlord is very helpful and friendly made us feel very welcome on our arrival. Despite being located on a busy road we would stay again as it’s a lovely cottage and so handy for the town.

“We really enjoyed staying here central to Bakewell 1 min walk up a tiny bit of a hill from rutland hotel it is on the left.”

..a busy road in the day.. you are there. There is a solid yellow line out the front whch you are allowed to offload so long as you are not causing an obstruction. The parking is zone B behind the church 1 min walk. We just got the permit out of the house parked no problem and walked our suitcases to the door. My bike fitted around the back in the secure garden. Also suitable for dogs . Best meals we had were at Arthurs a family run local restaurant whch allow you to dine in the bar area....if you book wth the dogs after 5pm they will reserve you a nice table i can recommend the lamb. The fillet steak and mum had skewers haloumi. The other place is rutland hotel for salmon lovely meal allowed to sit wth dogs by the bar all GFree and you can getGF pizzas from the cocktail bar nxt door but there are no dogs in there. Just get take out! We had to hire mum an electric bike from Hassop station on the Monsal trail as Bakewell no longer has bike hire whch is a 40min walk from bakewell station whch is really where the monsal trail starts. Book bikes in advance. Also if you nd the toilet take 20p as council now charging alternatively use the toilet in one of the pubs. Abraham Heights was well worth doing at Matlock dogs allowed on cable cars...what a dog friendly place to visit. This house is ideal for location. Comfort and takes me bk to when we used to stay at my nans hse lovely and cosy. Oh and if i were you leave the key in the coded lock as i nearly lost it but the owners were lovely and very patient as i found it and returned it last minute .com! Thankyou for having us ☺

“The cottage was excellent and close to the centre of bakewell.”

It had everything in we needed. The only thing that wasn't so good was the parking, to unload we had to park across the road and carry everything over then park away from the cottage. That said, we always found a parking space not far away, and it certainly didn't spoil what was a very good week, many thanks.

“Beds were very clean and very comfortable and the cottage was very warm, which was lovely.”

However the seating in the lounge was most uncomfortable, the place did not seem very clean and there was a sad lack of usable utensiles, scizzors, knives not sharp enough, can opener not working, gas lighter not working. These may seem insignificant but did impact on our stay. We left a day early as we could not cope with another evening sitting on the suite. The unloading of luggage also proved a challenge due to having to park on a risky bend, but with care, we managed.

Thank you very much for your feedback. My property is a mirror image of the photos on the website, you can see in the picture that the property is situated on bend in Peak district. There is a parking space opposite the cottage where you can load and unload safely. We have not changed our cleaner and cleanliness have never been an issue with our property. We have now replaced the lighter (property have match sticks just in case the lighter didn't work), can opener and knives. We always advise our guests to contact us in case of any issues so that we could rectify them immediately and our guests can enjoy their stay. Thank you so much for your feedback Sykes owner relations

“Knoll Cottage would be a nice placement for a weekend or short-term getaway.”

The kitchen was well-stocked with the necessities. We stayed in the bedroom with the double bed and found it very comfortable. There was plenty of space to store clothing. The bathroom was large, but beware of bumping your head on the cabinet above the toilet. Nice separate dining room. Steep stairs for children. Parking is the big issue. We were lucky that we had an alternate parking arrangement, though one night we needed to park up behind the church in the designated area and there were no spaces left. We stayed for a fortnight and the accommodation is better for a shorter stay. Suggestion for more comfortable seating in the living room. It was nice that the owner sent the cleaner around half-way though our stay to change bed linens, bring clean towels, and generally clean up after us. She did a very nice job and even did our breakfast dishes, as she came before we finished tidying up for the day.
Mr Allen September 2018

“Owner informed us that we would be able to park in a residents parking area.”

The only parking we could find you needed a parking permit. One was found but this was out of date. Initial impression, entrance hall, kitchen and bathroom floor needs updating. The cottage is large and had everything you needed.

“Delightful cottage”

This was our second stay this year at Knoll Cottage, having had it for a week in April. As we were staying over the Christmas week it had been tastefully decorated for Christmas which was lovely and homely and made us feel all the more festive. The cottage is on a busy road and unloading the car with luggage etc can be an issue as it is up a hill just on a bend, good idea to take an emergency triangle with you if you have one and put it about 20 yards down from your car as it certainly slows the traffic and makes them aware that your are there. There is enough room to bump up on the footpath too so you are not entirely on the road. The cottage is very well equipped with all manner of cooking utensils and with lovely matching crockery that is in good condition, not chipped or cracked. It is also very warm and whilst there is a wood burning stove we didn't need to use it as we were always more than warm enough. There is a small courtyard, alas we couldn't get our dogs to go out there and do anything so that was a big issue for us, as there is nowhere nearby to take them for the first and last ablutions of the day. There is a large bathroom with a good showers and jacuzzi bath and the two bedrooms are good sizes and really tastefully decorated. It is a 5 minute walk into the town centre, if you are in anyway physically challenged, walking back up to the cottage may be prove challenging as it is up a hill. With regards to parking, you do get given a permit and parking is available at the back of the church, best way to get to it is go past the cottage, on your left, turn in Yeld Road about 100 yards up from there and as you head back towards the cottage take the left hand slope which is the road at the back of the church, up there is parking for permit holders. One thing it could do with is the front door having a lick of paint as it does look a little tired and could give a poor first impression and certainly isn't the case once inside.

“A very comfortable cottage”

The cottage was excellent, especially the kitchen and bathroom. Other rooms old fashioned but in keeping with the cottage.The TV needs updating as the reception was poor. Needs to have freeview to give more choice. Curtains in twin bedroom could be darker as there is a street light right outside. Good location for the town. Parking sometimes a problem.

“Knoll Cottage Delight”

Mom Dad and 16 year old daughter travel to England to spend one week in the countryside and one week in London...our stay in Bakewell and Knoll Cottage was in one word...perfect! Knoll Cottage is the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. Everything was in great working order. Truly the nicest home away from home ever! We will return to Bakewell and Knoll Cottage!!

“As comfortable as being at home”

Our first look around Knoll Cottage gave us the Wow factor. It was warm, comfortable and very welcoming. There was a generous supply of lovely towels and beautiful bed linen. It lacked nothing. Knoll cottage is in a very good location close to the centre of Bakewell which offers plenty of good shopping and restaurants. It is a steep walk from the town up to the cottage so not for the infirm. Knoll cottage and Bakewell together made for a perfect holiday.

“friendly week-end”

everything to meet our needs- a week-end meeting of friends from staffordshire and lincolnshire. very easy to walk into bakewell or travel out into surrounding area. due to position on busy main road, no facility for parking directly out-side property.

“Delightful cottage and town”

Knoll Cottage was extremely well equiped and delightfully furnished. Everything possible was provided. Bakewell itself is a lovely town, spick and span,friendly and the cleanest, litter-free place I have ever visited.(dog friendly pubs too). Parking is a bit of a problem but a very minor inconveinience.

About the location

BAKEWELL

Chatsworth 4 miles; Matlock 8 miles; Buxton 12 miles.

An attractive little market town retaining a delightful rural atmosphere and offering a good selection of shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as local farmers’ markets. There is an old 17th Century market hall in the town centre and a modern leisure centre with swimming pool nearby. Bakewell is situated within the Peak District National Park and is ideally placed for exploring this beautiful region. Both the rugged Dark Peak and the softer limestone White Peak are within easy reach, and Alton Towers, Britain’s premier theme park, is only a short drive away. There are many stately homes to visit including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall to mention just a few, while the impressive caverns in nearby Castleton and Little John’s burial place in Hathersage are also well worth a visit. Take a trip to Buxton and visit the impressive Edwardian Opera House, designed by Frank Matcham, who also designed the London Palladium.
