Wonderfully positioned on the banks of the River Wye, bask and unwind in this tranquil holiday location. Set tails wagging from the moment you arrive with the anticipation of amazing countryside and riverside walks close by. Once you’ve explored the pretty village of Bakewell and appreciated some of the tasty local food, return to enjoy some time with your loved ones, a glass of wine and a cosy, contemporary setting.

Head on through to the alluring lounge/kitchen/diner space which boasts incredible views from the original full-length mill windows. The comfort of the lounge cannot be underestimated and you can sit undisturbed with your four-legged friend by your side when the nights draw in. You’ll find all you need in the contemporary kitchen area for making some tasty meals and doggy treats. Externally, a front patio area overlooking the old mill wheel serves up the prime spot to take things down a notch and sip a glass of something cool.

 

In a sought-after location, packed with a host of local attractions and amenities ready to be explored within walking distance, the choices are plentiful.

The location and having 2 designated car parking spaces was excellent. There was a lot of noise from the flat above which is a shame. The property was very well equipped.

What a fantastic stay! The welcome gifts were a lovely touch. The location was perfect, a few minutes walk and you were in the centre of Bakewell with all the pubs, restaurants and shops. The apartment was comfortable and had everything you needed for a family of 5. Also close to a number of walking routes. Definitely book again.
