  • A gorgeous detached character property in walking distance of Bakewell’s many renowned amenities
  • Spacious open-plan kitchen/diner with bi-folding doors creating a fantastic entertaining space
  • Beautiful rolling hills surround the town and is a perfect base for those who love hiking the hills, the River Wye meanders through the town providing pretty waterside views and lots of wildlife
Property code: OC-76635

Whether you want to get all of your loved ones together to celebrate a special occasion, or bring the team from the office together to thrash out business strategy, this grand and glamorous detached home in Bakewell is a great accommodation choice. Spend glorious days hiking along the Monsal Trail or rock-scrambling at Wildboar Clough, and your evenings hosting celebratory dinners in the elegant dining room or warming your toes by the wood burner in the living room.

Sleeping ten people over five bedrooms and welcoming two dogs, there’s no denying that this house is a wonderfully social space. Step inside and you’ll find a light and bright kitchen/diner. Pop the kettle on and gather everyone around the breakfast bar to plan the day ahead. After a wonderful day exploring the national park, come home to create culinary classics in the kitchen area. Get everyone together around the dining table, or head out into the garden to dine alfresco. After dinner, crack open a bottle of something fizzy and enjoy mingling on the lawn of the split-level garden. Alternatively, head to the garage for a game of table tennis, or retreat to the living room to curl up on the sofa in front of the crackling wood burner. At the end of the day, there are five stylish bedrooms upstairs to choose from.

Get the gang together for a gorge-walking experience at Beeley (5 miles): walking through streams and scrambling up small waterfalls is the perfect way to spend a warm day. Alternatively, make your way to Hassop Station (2 miles), hire some bikes and head along the traffic-free Monsal Trail, which runs for 8.5 miles to Chee Dale. After all that exercise, make a beeline for Bakewell (0.5 miles) and sample the town’s famous Bakewell Pudding.

This is a lovely, characterful property. We visited in Feb but it was still cosy with heating and log fire which is much needed as it isn't double glazed. The garden is well enclosed for dogs/children. The living area is a bit snug for 10 people but generally specious elsewhere. 2 fridges and range cooker in well equipped kitchen. Bedrooms are veryRead more spacious with good quality mattresses and bedding etc. Showers have a good level of power and plenty of hot water available at all times. Hide

On our first morning we had no hot water. Karen who looks after the property, although on holiday, was very quick to reply and the owner Rob couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you. The property is a beautiful home, extremely clean, is equipped with everything and the location is great. We will be back.

We've just got back from the loveliest stay at Fox House! This was our first time in Bakewell and the house is in the perfect location. The house was super clean and very spacious for four adults, two kids and one dog. We'd 100% book Fox House again if we came back to Bakewell!

This is a really lovely house and is perfect for family or group holidays. It is very tastefully appointed and suited our party of 5 women very well. It's location is perfect for a stroll in to town and there is plenty to do and see in the local area. The only slight concern is the drive which is not big enough for 3 family sized cars. Fortunately Read morefor us one of our 3 cars was small and could fit in the garage, otherwise we would have had to park it on a side street. Hide

A lovely property in easy reach of the town but dogs are only welcome on the ground floor. The off road parking is only suitable for 2 family cars but there is limited on road parking for a third car, although the road was busier than expected.
