If you're looking for a break in beautiful Derbyshire, this Grade II Listed 17th-century cottage in the market town of Bakewell hits the spot. It's been lovingly converted by your hosts into a stylish home for a family or two couples. When it's warm and sunny, relax in the pretty garden or unwind inside surrounded by character features such as the massive inglenook fireplace with a log burner and sash windows. We can imagine lots of convivial meals in the elegant dining room, for sure. Staying on the topic of food, this cottage is centrally located in this gem of the Peak District. The town is famous for its Bakewell pudding, but that's not all there is to attract foodies – there's an array of award-winning restaurants and pubs too. Add to that a fantastic Monday market, as well as a good selection of shops and a great golf course, and you have the recipe for plenty of fun times. For walkers, Bakewell Station (The Monsal Trail) is a five-minute walk away, and it's been a popular trail since the Midland Railway line was closed in 1968. Other attractions include Dovedale, one of the most stunning valleys in England, as well as the caves at Castleton, the spa town of Buxton and Chatsworth House.
