“Problem with t.”

V. Reception, making it impossible to watch at times as the picture was pixelating and constantly breaking up.

Mr Ellis October 2020

“Absolutely lovely apartment with beautiful views of the river.”

Central location with all the amenities within a few minutes walk. Will definitely be returning!

Mrs Elvy September 2020

“We really enjoyed our stay and found the Old Sawmill to be ideally situated for everything we wanted to do.”

We were delighted that there were biscuits, milk and tea awaiting us on our arrival and the accommodation had everything we needed. The only problem we had was with one of the beds which was not very comfortable, which we think was due to an old mattress which was rather 'saggy'. Otherwise, a good stay.

- Mrs Elvy, September 2020
Miss Caukill July 2020

“This was a fantastic place to stay.”

Aside from the amazing location the accommodation was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The milk in the fridge was much appreciated as were the biscuits by the children! We loved sitting at the table and watching the world (and ducks) go by. Everything we needed for a relaxing holiday.

Mrs Scoble November 2019

“Lovely apartment with lots of space and a bright and airy feel and in an amazing central location.”

With a few small tweaks and updating it would be perfect.

- Mrs Scoble, November 2019
Mr Howell October 2019

“The apartment has an excellent location within walking distance of all amenities.”

It is full of character, comfortable and provided everything we needed for the family. We will most definitely be booking it again when we next come to Bakewell.

“Fantastic Apartment in a Excellent Location”

The Apartment was great with Fantastic views over looking the river from the living room window and the location is excellent with the town centre only being a stones throw away. The owner left milk in the fridge and biscuits on the side for our arrival which was lovely gesture. There's plenty of walks in the area and loads to see and do nearby. Another set of keys would of been useful as my partner had to stay in when I popped out as I wouldn't of been able to get back in. I would definitely recommend this Apartment x

Mr Evans September 2019

“We had a lovely relaxing time at the Old Sawmill.”

Could not ask for a better spot in Bakewell, the river is directly outside the window and the town, pubs and bakeries are a footstep away! Also a great spot for walks, bike rides etc..

- Mr Evans, September 2019
Mrs Hills July 2019

“Lovely spacious apartment, very well equipped and spotlessly clean.”

We had a great week exploring Bakewell and the Peak District.

- Mrs Hills, July 2019

It has the best view in Bakewell. Highly recommended. In a great location only minutes away from the shops yet peaceful.

- Mrs Kirtland, April 2019
Mr Hotchkiss March 2019

“Superb apartment in a great position with a wonderful view.”

Very close to shops and a lot of good quality eateries.

- Mr Hotchkiss, March 2019
Mr Robinson March 2019

“Despite rain and sleet we dodged the bad weather and managed to get out and about without too much trouble.”

Having The Monsal Trail close by was a positive and we made use of cafes along the route. Plenty of interesting shops in Bakewell itself. Only moments away over the footbridge.

- Mr Robinson, March 2019
Mrs Treadwell-baker December 2018

“The apartment was wonderful- perfect for 6 friends wanting a place to spend New Year.”

The site does not do it justice, it is much bigger and has much more than advertised, not to mention the great location. It was really very lovely!

- Mrs Treadwell-baker, December 2018
Mrs Williams October 2018

“We had stayed here previously and it was just as good again great cottage great location and great facilities my only want would be staying in the colder months if possible it would be lovely to have curtains to draw to keep out draughts as we had small baby and toddler with us and it was quite cool in evenings in bedrooms.”

Had to contact owner and found her very approachable and helpful which is always good.

- Mrs Williams, October 2018
Mrs Fisher October 2018

“The position of the apartment overlooking the river was fantastic.”

Easy parking - not always a given. Totally impressed!

- Mrs Fisher, October 2018
Mr Hunt June 2018

“'The Old Sawmill' is a little gem of a holiday home, this very spacious apartment is well equipped and tastefully decorated, with the advantage of ample parking space.”

Perfectly located for the Bakewell Showground and the town centre, and a great starting point and a comfortable return for all visitors/walkers. To make a comment: a spare set of house keys would have been useful, but this is not a negative comment.

- Mr Hunt, June 2018
Mr Grayson February 2018

“Fabulous cottage in a great location.”

Only a minute from the town centre and with great acccess to many walks in the area. Hope to be back in the future and would highly recommend this cottage. An extra set of keys and a dvd player would be useful.

- Mr Grayson, February 2018
Mrs Muddiman December 2017

“Lovely property.”

Excellent location. Didn't use the car for the whole stay. Great pubs nearby and a co-op a few steps away over the river! Perfect.

- Mrs Muddiman, December 2017

“Perfect location, great accommodation”

We have stayed for Christmas week 2016. Lots of food/drink/walk options from our doorstep. Didn't get in the car for 4 days after arriving! Very spacious, comfortable, practical accommodation for friends/family groups. Sharing one bathroom was no problem. We had hoped there would be some Christmas decorations but not too disappointed that there weren't.

- Miss North, October 2016
Mr Embleton October 2016

“Delightful property in a perfect location.”

- Mr Embleton, October 2016
Mrs Ridpath June 2016

“A truly wonderful apartment overlooking the River Wye with its wildfowl and fish enhancing the scene outside, which is beautiful in all weathers.”

The furnishings were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Although you are very central, by night it is quiet apart from the sound of the water as it spills across the small weir that runs under the mill. We would happily return and recommend this lovely place to friends and family.

- Mrs Ridpath, June 2016
Mr Chappell February 2016

“A big 'wow' as soon as you walk in, that 'plenty of space' feeling and a beautiful view over a weir and across the river.”

- Mr Chappell, February 2016
Angela G October 2015

“Very comfortable apartment”

The apartment is very central in a beautiful village. It is very comfortable and clean. The beds are that comfy you don't want to get up. There's a beautiful view from the lounge windows and it's only a two minute walk into the village. It isn't suitable for disabled people if they can't do stairs as it's on the first floor. We would certainly stay here again. There are a few things that would make it perfect... 1. A pint of milk would be a lovely extra, especially when travelling from afar 2. A better toaster with four slots as it's a real bind with only two especially if six people are staying 3. A list of important things eg local doctors, dentist, days bins go, recycling, etc is very important Another key would be great as if there are six people not everyone goes out together All in all though a lovely apartment and as we've said would love to come again

- Angela G, October 2015

Mr Bell September 2014

“A lovely well furnished apartment in a great location.”

The apartment was clean, spacious, decorated to a high standard and within a one minute walk of Bakewell town centre. Overall we found this to be a great base for our holiday and a pleasure to return to each day.

- Mr Bell, September 2014
Mr Roberts September 2014

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.
