  • "A quiet, comfortable and relaxing place which had almost everything we could want."

    Clean; comfortable beds; well stocked kitchen; really hot water and large bathroom We thought there was a dish washer and indeed dish washer tablets were left for us but there isn’t one. Not that it mattered too much Would have liked a bowl and drainer mat for the sink to protect both sink and china. Also a caddy in the shower for gels and shampoos etc. would love to come back again

    Thank you for your kind feedback. I've no idea why the cleaning company left dishwasher tabs when there isn't one! Thanks for your recommendations. If we can think of a way that we can add the suggested items to the itinerary in a clean and hygienic way we will do so. We look forward to welcoming you back to Dragon Cottage so you can discover more of what the area has to offer. Property Owner

About the location

BAKEWELL

Chatsworth 4 miles; Matlock 8 miles; Buxton 12 miles.

An attractive little market town retaining a delightful rural atmosphere and offering a good selection of shops, restaurants, and pubs, as well as local farmers markets. There is an old 17th- century market hall in the town centre and a modern leisure centre with swimming pool nearby. Bakewell is situated within the Peak District National Park and is ideally placed for exploring this beautiful region. Both the rugged Dark Peak and the softer limestone White Peak are within easy reach, and Alton Towers, Britain’s premier theme park, is only a short drive away. There are many stately homes to visit including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, and Hardwick Hall to mention just a few, while the impressive caverns in nearby Castleton and Little John’s burial place in Hathersage are also well worth a visit. Take a trip to Buxton and visit the impressive Edwardian Opera House, designed by Frank Matcham, who also designed the London Palladium.
