North Lodge

Disappointing I think covers it As another person has said - adequate!

Lots of cobwebs, no where to put things in shower, no bathroom bin or handrail on steep stairs! Needs double glazing, wonky chair in kitchen, loose light switch in twin bedroom, utility cupboard very untidy - would have to mover several things to get near washing machine and iron with no back on plug, kitchen window is rotten, no bedside tables downstairs and no reading lights, and as for the garden - very unkempt; rubbish, tin cans etc lying around, very over grown, loads of nettles and not user friendly TV too large for cabinet - teetering on edge - dangerous for kids, as is the garden The cottage is in a great location, ideal for Bakewell and surrounding area - its a good job we know the area as very little literature on same, along with no books or games as most cottages do It does have a lovely kitchen and was clean apart from cobwebs and our 1am visit from a bat! It could be a lovely wee cottage with a good clean and a lot of TLC but definitely not worth anywhere near the £200 per night we paid!

A lovely period and cool (in the temp sense) property, in a quiet and pretty location.

There’s a pub within walking distance and a farm shop across the road (although it only sells eggs, milk and has a self-service milkshake machine - which everyone loved) and a lovely field with some limited activities for children. We received a nice welcome pack, and went to Bakewell to the coop to buy provisions for the weekend. A few things I’d recommend to help others but, are really minor and wouldn’t put me off rebooking at all, are: - hooks on the back of the bedroom and bathroom doors - bins in the bathrooms - a bannister on the stairs, for safety really as they are quite steep - the curtains don’t close properly in the living room. It would also be nice if you rent this cottage if you could use the pool, it says that it’s for the other accommodation but, would be a lovely touch perhaps for the owners to consider. A lovely stay

Lovely building to experience and stay in.

Facilities were adequate but a basic level . Doors without catch to close properly were a surprise and unhelpful.

What a lovely little gem.

Very well maintained. Had a lovely time and wouldn't change a thing. Lovely little backyard. Great location.

Whilst the ‘basic’ cleanliness was met ie fresh beds clean sink and toilet, it would have benefitted from a good dust as there were cobwebs everywhere, I tried to hoover them myself but the hoover was giving off an awful smell which stunk out the property.

Also a scrub on the kitchen floor needed. It would be helpful in the description to say that the garden is not secure for dogs/ young children. The style of property was lovely with some very sweet features such as fireplaces in downstairs bedrooms. The fireplace in living room said in description that initial fuel would be provided, however on arrival there was a sign saying it was ornamental and not to use. Location good. Kitchen utensils/ crockery/ pans/ glasses etc well stocked. Carpets could do with replacing (especially upstairs). Both bathrooms showers had good water pressure. Garden did not look like picture online (was not well kept). Lots of pros and cons to this property. I would stay again but not for the price it is advertised at as I feel the upkeep and cleanliness should be more on point to justify the price.

This property has positives and negatives.

Kitchen and downstairs bedrooms are good the upstairs bedroom has very limited headroom and the carpet and decor need replacing / redoing as they are stained and dirty. There are other maintenance items that need completing as well around the property - for the price being charged it should be better maintained and there are better properties available. It should be noted that the property is right next to the road so traffic noise is a bit of an issue especially if in upstairs bedroom.
