"What an outstanding stay."
I’ve stayed in dog friendly cottages before but the care and attention made to make you feel welcome was amazing. Chocolates and dog treats on arrival ….. everything provided in the kitchen (dish washer tablets, washing up liquid etc). The house was immaculate, and smelt lovely throughout. The little yard at the back was very secure. Location just brilliant. Even though there wasn’t parking at the property we had no problem finding a space. All in all very highly recommended
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We always hope and want our guests to feel comfortable and at home. Great to hear that’s how you felt at Knoll Cottage. Apologies for delay in response. Property Owner

"A lovely comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage with everything you need for self catering."
Good selection of TV options including Prime. Lovely posh chocolates and posh treats for dogs! Thank you. The shower is temperamental, it turns freezing cold or scolding hot for no reason. Personally we found the cottage noisy due to the road where it is situated. It really is very busy, constant flow of traffic from 6 am until 7 in the evening. The master bedroom would benefit from secondary glazing similar to the second bedroom. Parking was difficult, there didn't seem to be enough B parking bays for the amount of B parking permits! When we arrived we unloaded outside the cottage but it was quite dangerous due to being on a bend on the busy road. There is free parking for 2 hours 8am - 8pm behind the church, so overnight we managed to park there a few times and move the car at 10am. Word of warning.. a few people got tickets so they do check! Overall we enjoyed our stay and enjoyed Bakewell and the surrounding areas. Thank you.
Thanks for your feedback. Apologies for the shower. It seems that being an electric shower, it can be affected by water being used in other parts of cottage such as washing machine, dishwasher, loo flushing etc. Our next project will be to redo the upstairs and we intend to remove the electric shower. We’re also intending to replace the windows with double glazing so that should help with the noise. Bakewell does tend to be very busy in the summer months and parking is at a premium and can be tricky. Yeld Road (first on left after cottage) has unrestricted parking. Sorry that these issues impacted your stay but pleased to hear you enjoyed Bakewell and the surrounding area. Nick and Kim Property Owner

"A wondefull cottage with all the facilities you need."
A great location for all the great things to do in the peaks and a just short walk into Bakewell.
Pleased to hear that you had a good time in Bakewell and thank you for the kind comments about our cottage Nick and Kim Property Owner

"Very nice property a short walk from the town centre Very comfy beds No garden ..."
Very nice property a short walk from the town centre Very comfy beds No garden space which we knew when booking, but the private courtyard at the back is fully secure for the dogs Top tip, you can park your car right outside the cottage when unloading your stuff, then move it up the road afterwards, rather than parking at the top and then trying to carry everything down
Thank you so much for your review. Really pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay Nick and Kim Property Owner

"Superbly located near the heart of the village, it's just a 2 min walk to the centre of Bakewell."
The house is well laid out and some lovely touches like the owners phone numbers and a small box of chocolates greeted us as we entered. There is everything you need in the kitchen, you shouldn't need to bring anything with you. We loved spending time in the house when we had some down time from walking or spending time in the village. Bakewell is well located for trips to Buxton, Matlock and Matlock Bath, and many more places to visit in the lovely Peak District. We plan to visit Knoll Cottage again this year, so I suppose that's as good a recommendation as anyone can give.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We’d love to have you back. Bakewell and the surrounding area is lovely to visit. Nick and Kim Property Owner

"First the corner cupboard above the toilet is dangerous."
The first morning on bending my head to use the toilet I cut the top of my head badly and there was a lot of blood.My head is still tender and sore.At other times during our stay my son and I hit our head several times forgetting it was there.It needs a piece of foam put on the corner and a mind your head sign.The main light in the main bedroom was annoyingly dim and the single beds in the other bedroom were uncomfortable and that room was noisy from the boiler in the bathroom.I sent an e mail to your company about this but it was returned.I feel a part refund is necessary
Thanks for your feedback. We have never had any issues raised before about the cupboard above the toilet, but following your feedback, we have stuck a warning sign on the cupboard and also attached a foam corner protector as suggested. We have changed the bulbs in the main bedroom to be brighter We cant do much about the noise from the boiler - we find that with both doors closed it is fairly minimal. In a small cottage it is difficult to have the boiler remotely located. Property Owner

"We loved the house."
We could see you’d put a lot of thought into it. It was very nice to see the chocolates and appreciated your telephone numbers clearly seen on the table. The only thing we thought for improvement was to have the bedside lights a little brighter especially in the double bed room as reading in bed wasn’t possible with them. A small thing though as we loved our stay.
Delighted you enjoyed your stay. We have changed the bulbs in the bedside lamps following your review - having feedback is very helpful for us to improve what we provide for your holidays. Thanks again Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage, very clean lovely welcome pack and Shower Items left, my two girls loved the bath."
The view of the church outside was a gem to wake up to, loved hearing the bell practice on Thursday. Will want to return in the future.
So pleased you enjoyed your stay. We would be delighted for you to re-book - we are continuing to restore the cottage and making it more cosy. Property Owner

"A charming quaint cottage close to the town centre and all of the delights of Bakewell and the beautiful surrounding area."
A very well equipped holiday let. Huge bathroom, great size bedrooms with lots of storage. Very comfy bed. Kitchen has everything for a true self catering holiday. We were able to fully utilise the courtyard for dining and relaxing. The new owners were incredibly attentive and Sykes, as always brilliant. Thanks to you, all we had a super time.
Thank you so much. As our first guests, you were incredibly kind, understanding and patient. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

The property
Resting in the heart of the Peak District National Park, just a stone's throw from the centre of Bakewell, Knoll Cottage is a delightful, double-fronted, stone-built terraced cottage offering a wonderful base for your next break to Derbyshire.
Lovingly restored and boasting a quaint, traditional style, whilst perfectly incorporating contemporary amenities, Knoll Cottage is the ideal property for a couple or small family seeking a holiday to Bakewell.
Following a day's adventure, head in through the original front door opposite the church into the small hallway with original Fossil limestone flooring and take the door into the bright and calm dining room on your right.
Rest in the comfy chairs to watch television, warmed by the characterful electric stove-effect fire, settled within the traditional stone fireplace.
Make your way into the refitted kitchen to find an excellent array of appliances including an electric oven and gas hob, fridge with ice-box and a dishwasher.
Cupboards contain everything you might require for a fully self-catering break.
Come together around the dining table in the attractive dining room for mealtimes, or alternatively, step outside into the enclosed courtyard where patio furniture creates a tranquil setting for dining alfresco.
There is lockable access route to the road through the gate in the far corner, through which you can return after a day's activity, accessing the secure bike store / heated boot and coat drying room from the courtyard.
Retire to the snug to rest and relax in front of the electric fire, with two plush sofas and an armchair to choose from, the refurbished original oak parquet floor with local pictures on the pretty pale green walls all adding to the homely atmosphere as you enjoy watching the TV or having a relaxed drink and a chat.
Head up the staircase to find original polished wooden floors and two lovely bedrooms with period features, antique furnishings, and elegant bed linen.
The king-size room offers views of the church from one side and overlooks the patio from the other.
The charming twin bedroom enjoys pretty bedheads with a delightful tulip pattern, along with a wonderful wardrobe, with both rooms served by the spacious bathroom, comprising a walk-in shower and a large corner bath for relaxing soaks!
When you can tear yourself away from this tranquil property, venture out into the diverting town of Bakewell, most notably known for its unique and tasty pudding, it has plenty to offer for a great staycation.
Browse the local outdoor market, which occurs every Monday to pick up local produce, souvenirs or just essential shopping, with the livestock market proving to be a theatre-like and unique experience, certainly for city-dwellers!
Stroll along the banks of the River Wye which runs through the town, passing mellow stone buildings and the medieval five-arched stone bridge, with a picture-perfect scene around every corner!
Discover the history within the walls of The Old House, a Tudor house featuring local historical artefacts and exhibits, pick up some sweet treats from the Original Bakewell Pudding Shop, and sample the delicious food at one of the town's restaurants or pubs.
Spend the day admiring the spectacular Chatsworth House, the filming location for Mr Darcy's Pemberley for the 2013 adaptation of 'Pride & Prejudice', expect to be astounded by the grand rooms, opulent artwork, vast grounds and charming playground and farmyard, great for children!
Another excellent outing can be had at Haddon Hall, while Matlock Farm Park is another fun-filled place for all ages.
Evening meals or drinks out are well catered for in the wide range of bars, restaurants and takeaway outlets.
Bakewell is perfect for walkers and cyclists alike to base themselves for accessing endless beauty spots to traverse, with the peaks of Monsal Head, Fin Cop, Stanage Edge, High Wheeldon and Mam Tor all within easy driving range.
For a memorable stay in the charming Peak District town of Bakewell, bring your loved ones to Knoll Cottage.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
