Overview
Description
A lovely listed former mill cottage dating back to the 1700s. Charmingly extended and beautifully renovated it provides lots accommodation in the market town of Bakewell. It has one large living room and lots of small cosy rooms. 12 people have plenty of space here and do not feel on top of one another. Convenient location. Set on the main road 200 yds from town centre great location, but close the big double gates and you are in a private and quiet spot, with fabulous views from the garden. There are many activities to do from the house from walking, fishing, geocaching, paragliding, balloon rides, swimming, stately home visiting to theme parks like Alton Towers. For an extra payment it is possible to hire a hot tub whilst you are at the property.139 Reviews
Leave ReviewLovely house. Loads of room. Great stay
By Nell Johnson on 28-Feb-2025We had such a fantastic stay and benefited from its fabulously central location to the town and it’s homely feel as well as it’s ability to hold the large group that we were in comfortably. Everything we needed was there and it was incredibly clean and well looked after -really recommended.

A great Christmas gathering
By Judith Suckling on 27-Dec-2024We had a great time at the cottage with 5 adults and 5 kids at the cottage in Bakewell. There was plenty of space for us all to cook a big dinner, and eat around the table and have a super chill in the massive living room after. All the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The sheets had that hotel feeling. Great location for a good walk out to Bakewell for treats and chips. We will be back!

Wonderful Holiday Cottage
By Richard & Caro on 20-Dec-2024We rented Victoria Cottage over Christmas 2024 and loved every minute of it. On arrival, the cottage was beautifully lit with twinkling fairy lights outside and at least three Christmas trees in various rooms. The owners clearly went to a lot of effort to decorate the house for the festive season which meant that we really didn't have to do anything to enhance it. It was clean and tidy. The beds were well-made with beautiful crisp, white, bed linen. The house, itself, is massive. There is a bedroom on the ground floor overlooking the courtyard, and another one with single beds in on the roadside. Upstairs are (I think) another three bedrooms. In short, you can easily sleep the number of people the cottage is advertised to sleep. The kitchen is dead centre of the house and has pretty much everything you might need - a blender, mocha coffee pot, and champagne glasses among the non-standard culinary items. The house was warm and cosy over our stay. The showers delivered plenty of hot water at a strong pressure. If there was anything we couldn't find or operate, the owners were always happy to oblige with some help over a text message. Upstairs one flight of stone stairs, you'll find a large living room with a beautifully designed pitched roof and window lights. There is another stone external staircase that leads down to the courtyard and then up to a terraced garden, giving views over Bakewell. In the summer, it must be fantastic! To get to the bedrooms at the front of the house, you have to pass through a formal dining room and up another, different flight of stairs. Don't be put off by the fact that the house is on the A6 main road. It is a 30 mph speed limit and there is no discernible noise from it. The road also means you are well connected to visit Buxton and the Dales nearby. Bakewell itself is absolutely charming. There is a good selection of shops, pubs, and restaurants. The River Wye flows through over a delightful old bridge with a picturesque footpath along side. From Bakewell, there is a walking and cycling path along a Beeching-era disused railway, which is well worth exploring. A longer drive takes you up to the famous Snake Path and gorgeous Ladybower Reservoir in the High Peak. The other way, along the road towards Buxton, there is a fabulous walk through the gorge cut out by the River Wye, upstream of Bakewell. This absolutely stunning landscape is not very easy to walk, but with a good pair of wellies in the winter and an enthusiastic dog, we made our way through. It had every hallmark of being a fabulous wild swimming site for kids in the summer! To the south, we explored the Heights of Abraham in Matlock Bath, and further afield to Belper. In short, what's not to like about the amazing Victoria Cottage? Many thanks to Maggie and Tim for the opportunity to stay in their gorgeous home!

The Perfect Countryside Holiday!
By Nathan Jefferson on 24-Jul-2024Where to start! Me and my family had the most wonderful stay here in this idyllic English cottage, situated amongst the historic Town of Bakewell (Just visit the Old House Museum only a minutes walk from the cottage to spend a few hours immersed in its history!). Not only is the surrounding town so enchanting and lovely but the house itself is warm and welcoming, with plenty of space for the kids to lose themselves in play. I could go on, but Ill save the rest for you to discover on your own! ... I couldnt recommend it enough
