Gorgeous cottage in a beautiful location

Perfect cottage for six friends to spend the weekend catching up and visiting Chatsworth House and Christmas markets. Bakewell is a small town full of little individual shops. The Rutland Arms is a great place to eat. Plenty of food shops to stock up for cozy nights in too. The cottage is tastefully decorated, clean and the hosts are extremely welcoming. The welcome pack we received was a very thoughtful gift of milk, wine and biscuits. Tea, coffee etc was also provided. Would highly recommend!

A lovely cottage

A well equipped cottage, lovely and clean and with really communicative owners, everything was easy. We had an issue with the heating - well actually the heating was fine, it was me being thick - and the owner was on the phone in literally a couple of minutes to sort it for us, I was very impressed. A fantastic location in the centre of town, but be aware if you have young children that need to get to sleep, the Bakewell Bellringers make an absolute racket at the church across the road every Thursday from 7.30-9pm, sleep was impossible for our 1 year old until they’d stopped. But overall a lovely stay.

Family getaway

A little family break with our 2 sons, one of which just arrived from Australia. Had a lovely stay here. Great location, place was spotless, beds fairly comfy. Small downside only a small courtyard for a garden which at this time of year not a sunny place to sit at the end of the day.

Weekend Escape in the Heart of Bakewell

Great little terraced property close the heart of Bakewell. Furnished to a high standard and very comfortable for 3 friends. The kitchen is well equipped and the fires in the lounge and kitchen quick to warm the rooms up if the central heating isn't on. The only slight negative is the steep stairs from the first floor down into the kitchen area where you need to tread carefully! All in all excellent value for money in a great location.

Super cottage, great location

Incredibly easy from beginning to end with prompt communication from hosts. Beautiful cottage containing everything we needed and more to make our 3-day stay an absolute delight. We all enjoyed every minute of our time in Bakewell and it was lovely to return to Wainstones after our time exploring the area. The two beds we used were very very comfortable and the bed linen was of a lovely quality. A hugely enjoyable stay - thank you hosts for everything, especially the complimentary beer, biscuits, milk, tea, coffee etc - much appreciated.

Cozy Cottage in Bakewell

Everything was excellent from booking through to leaving the property. The cottage was so central with a one minute walk into the centre of Bakewell and free parking either immediately outside the cottage or nearby. The cottage was so well equipped we could not have asked for more. On arrival there was a free welcome pack including tea, coffee, sugar, milk, biscuits and two bottles of beer, what a lovely surprise. The cottage was immaculately clean throughout and was a real home from home. The living room was bright and airy through the day and lovely and cosy at night with the fire on. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we hope to return again in the future.

2nd stay at this beautiful cottage

This was our 2nd stay at Wainstones and we can't wait to return again. It's a beautiful cottage, immaculately clean and so cosy and comfortable. We love it! Perfectly located, just a couple of minutes' walk from Bakewell centre and ideal for exploring the local area by car, bike or on foot. The owners obviously take great pride in their property and in ensuring you have a wonderful break. It's the little things, like freshly cut flowers in the kitchen and local goodies to welcome you, that make a difference. Don't hesitate. Book it now. You won't regret it!

A Wonderful Cottage

I stayed here for a few nights during early September and found it to be a wonderful cottage. It is in a great location near the centre of Bakewell and is very charming in every way. The cottage could not have been cleaner ... it was absolutely spotless. You will find everything you need in the kitchen and there was a good selection of guides to the local area. Chris was extremely helpful and prompt in his responses to our queries. All in all, a great place to stay.

Great Cottage

We had a lovely stay at Wainstones. The cottage is very centrally situated on a quiet road in Bakewell. Being opposite the churchyard means there is a lovely view from the front windows. The bells do continue through the night so bring earplugs if you are a very light sleeper. I don't think I have been in a cottage as well equipped as this one! The cottage was spotlessly clean and there were some very welcome gifts when we arrived. We would definitely stay again and would recommend to others.

About the host

Hosted by Christopher Beard

Host profile image
After my early retirement in 2015, I took time to fully renovate Wainstones before our first holiday rental in the Summer of 2016. My wife and I have been building the business since then and are proud to have received positive feedback from many of our guests.

We live in Over Haddon, a small village close to Bakewell, and absolutely adore the Peak District where we have lived for more than 20 years with our 2 daughters.

Why they chose this property

Because it's right in the heart of a beautiful small market town - Bakewell.

It is a great location for exploring the Peak District. You don't even need a car, as the bus network allows you to explore the Peak District.

After a hard day's walking or sightseeing, come home to the cosy cottage, which has everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

What makes this property unique

A stone's throw from Bakewell, yet very quiet.

Central heating throughout, and cast iron gas stoves ensure that you have a cosy welcoming stay.

The property has been renovated to a high standard, but retains the old world charm of a Georgian townhouse.
