“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 ...

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.

“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.
Mr Mcgorman July 2018

“The cottage is in a good location with easy access to Bakewell.”

The cottage is in need of a bit of maintenance, there are a few loose door handles, juccuzzi bath doesn’t work drain pipe in courtyard leaks. The beds were really comfortable and the cottage is well equipped.
Mrs Mcconnell May 2018

“The cottage was clean and warm.”

The bathroom was spacious, with plenty of towels. The kitchen was well-equipped. We had a lovely week at Knoll cottage and would go again. It is only 5 mins walk to the shops. It would have been helpful to have had written instructions from the owner about parking and loading and unloading on a blind bend. We coped with the parking once we found where to go.
Mrs Tee March 2018

“I think that it should be made clear about parking for offloading, the cottage is on a busy road on a bend with no safe parking outside.”

It was difficult with four adults, so would be worrying with small children. We parked up for the weekend, so did not use the car until our return, would have struggled if car dependent. Contacting owners for the key code also a problem, but easily sorted with text through to you. Regards Julia

“The bathroom could have been a little cleaner but otherwise a perfect cottage for a weeks stay in the Peak District.”

WiFi and a DVD player would make it a bit more family friendly. But lots of space and comfy beds - which is always a plus!
Mrs Simmons March 2018

“Knoll cottage was very disappointing, it is in desperate need of a complete refurbishment.”

The soft furnishings were filthy and the bathroom was disgusting, very tatty and not at all clean. The sofas were extremely uncomfortable. All the floors were dirty. Had to start cleaning before we used anything. The kitchen however, was well equipped with very nice crockery. Such a shame as there were some lovely features and it was probably very nice once upon a time. The heating wasn’t working properly and the first two days and nights were freezing. My daughter and her husband had to go home with their new baby as it was too cold. After complaining to Sykes someone did come out to look at the heating after 2 days by which time my husband had sorted out the problem. I would like to request some compensation in view of this - not at all up to standard especially for the price we paid.
Mr Bowyer January 2018

“Great cottage in a great location, Loads of well thought extras, dishwasher tablets, washing and cleaning equipment.”

Milk in fridge on arrival, nice touch. Very comfortable bed. Loved our stay here and would have no hesitation in staying here again
Ms Couser December 2017

“The cottage is well-equipped, very comfortable and cosy, and in a fantastic location.”

Unfortunately it hadn't been properly cleaned, so there was a great deal of dog hair on the rugs in both bedrooms and the bath wasn't clean. The fridge had been turned off, without being cleaned or checked which meant opened milk, left by the previous occupants, had gone off. We didn't think the walk from the town was too onerous and we loved being so close to everything Bakewell has to offer. We went to Chatsworth which was a really easy drive. Parking is difficult in Bakewell, so it was great to have a parking permit. The directions to the parking were not clear, so we had to phone the owner to find it. As we had a second car, it would have been really useful to have suggestions for other parking - the owners suggestion is for short stay (2 hours) parking which makes no sense. We found free parking further up the hill. It's always good to be left recommendations of places to walk or eat by the owners, but there was nothing like that. I always use Sykes for my holiday cottages, so I have high expectations!

“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.
A FlipKey verified reviewer May 2010

“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.
