Stylish property located in the beautiful rural town of Bakewell in the Peak District, famous for the Bakewell pudding
A traditional stone cottage on the outside, this Bakewell property has a luxury, boutique-hotel vibe inside. Fabulously stylish, it’s a great getaway for couples and friends wishing to get out and about in this popular Peak District area.
Daring to be different, this chic cottage is decorated with bold wallpaper, strong colours and quirky lighting – the result is glamorously embracing. The wood burner set in a traditional fireplace is the focal point of the lounge/diner, where there is a smart TV and, at the other end of the room, a dining table and large dresser. The sun room is a gorgeous spot in which to simply relax and do nothing, basking in the warmth, and the Shaker-style kitchen has masses of space in which to concoct delicious meals using local delicacies. A steep staircase leads to the king-size and twin bedrooms, further examples of chic styling and attention to detail, while the huge bathroom contains a free-standing, roll-top bath in which you can soak after an adventurous day out. A slender patio off the sunroom is a lovely spot for an outdoor drink and some fresh Derbyshire air.
Bakewell is much loved for its historic charm, independent shops and great places to eat – while here you must try the iconic Bakewell Pudding. It is also a fabulous base for walking and cycling, with the 8.5 mile, traffic-free Monsal Trail a particular draw. Thrill seekers have the chance to try canoeing, abseiling and caving with Peaks and Paddles Outdoor Adventure Activities (5.5 miles), while Twin Peaks Outdoor Activities offers gorge walking in Beeley (5 miles away) – following the water course up the hill, described as like caving but with the roof off.
