“What a lovely place for our holiday.”

Location was great all the facilities were brilliant and communication with owner was very easy. Even a lovely welcoming touch of cakes and milk in the fridge! Thank you so much :-)

“Lovely cottage and location .”

2nd time we have been .

- Mr Davenport, May 2019
“Fantastic home!”

Would definitely book again

- Mr Nicolaou, May 2019
“Our second visit to this flat.”

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

Easy parking - not always a given. Totally impressed!

- Mrs Fisher, October 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
“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
“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
“...”

A delightful apartment in a fantastic location only a couple of minutes walk from the shops and numerous pubs and restaurants

- Mr Hart, July 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.

“Comfortable, stylish and central”

What a find! This all-found, beautifully furnished apartment is well-located - close to everything in the town of Bakewell and an ideal location for exploring further afield.

- Kamasu47, 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

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.
