A gracefully converted schoolhouse brimming with artistic touches situated in a leafy corner of Bakewell; this elegant hideaway is ideal for multigenerational families or groups of friends seeking a luxurious retreat in the Peak District. Saddle up and peddle through the serene green countryside across the impressive Headstone Viaduct bridge on the traffic-free Monsal Trail, before stretching out weary feet in the ambient glow of the dual-aspect wood burner.

This beautifully appointed property boasts light-flooded rooms, bold interior styling, and opulent jewel tones throughout. Step through the front door into the contemporary kitchen with sleek handless cabinets and feature tiling, a wonderful space to whip up some post-adventure tipples and snacks. Pull out the wooden bench seat and tuck into a spread of local farm treats or pop a bottle and gather in the dining room for a decadent dinner. Retreat to the lounge and sink onto the plush velvet sofa or slide open the Bifold doors and let the balmy breeze drift inside. For chillier evenings, fire up the wood burner and unwind with a movie or group games. Each of the four bedrooms is thoughtfully styled with soft pillows and throws, consisting of a super-king, two kings, and a twin room. For a moment of peace, sink into the curved copper hot tub and sip on a cold drink – bliss! Head outside and recline on the patio or gear up for garden games.

Saunter into the bustling hub of Bakewell and browse the independent eateries, local shops, galleries, and traditional pubs, less than 500 metres. Trek along the open moorland on the Cork Stone and Nine Ladies Circle trail, 6 miles, or venture to Chatsworth House and stroll the gardens and pick up some treats from the farm shop, 5 miles.

Garden House was everything we hoped for, for our family weekend stay in Bakewell. The location is perfect, everything being walkable from the door - and what an incredible view!

A wonderfully situated large cottage which comfortably accommodated four couples for a winter break, which included a visit to the Chatsworth House experience. It was exceptionally well appointed with an impressive range of bathroom options and a cosy dining room ideally suited to eight guests.

This is the most beautiful house. The interior design is stunning and the position absolutely perfect for exploring Derbyshire. The beds are huge and so comfortable. The living room is very cosy, with wonderful armchairs and sofas and plenty of logs for the woodburner when the weather gets chilly. Thank you Shada and Paul for your hospitality.

The photos do not do the cottage justice. It's setting was fantastic as was its location for the peaks. A odern but cosy house with ample parking. The hosts left a nice welcome gift pack and the house was immaculately presented and clean. . A minor niggle is the storage space for clothes in the smaller bedrooms. Definitely worth a stay !
