    It has parking which is a bonus. It just has everything you need. We couldn't fault it. Thank you to Joy for popping by to make sure everything was Ok , that was really thoughtful. We will definitely book again.

  • Sara

    Conveniently close to the centre of Bakewell with two precious parking spaces. A sunny garden with outdoor seating and a some views of the surrounding countryside. The owner was friendly, helpful and informative but in no way intrusive.

  • Kay

    Perfect location and a lovely little courtyard garden to sit out in. The parking is such a bonus. Would definitely recommend.
