Dog-friendly Brendan, Derbyshire

Overview

Nestled amongst the fine rolling hills on the edge of Bakewell, Derbyshire, is this splendid two-bedroom cottage, Brendan. Perfectly suited for families, this quaint escape provides a great position for exploring the Peak District National Park, along with many charming towns and villages in the region. As you arrive, park up in the off-road parking space and unload your baggage into your new home from home. The apartment is accessed on the first floor via an internal staircase. After a long day of rambling, look forward to unwinding in the living/dining room, complete with two leather sofas and a large TV, ideal for a cosy night in. Move into the kitchen where the designated chef can get to work on preparing a home-cooked dish, while the rest of the group set the dining table and pour the drinks. Whisk yourself away to the bedrooms to catch some rest, including a king-size and twin, both neutrally presented and hosting ample storage space for personal belongings. Serving the bedrooms is a bathroom with bath and shower over so you can best decide how to prepare for the day. Take advantage of the shared utility/games room and challenge each other to a game of table tennis. Brendan promises a relaxing retreat surrounded by the scenery of the Peak District.

Location

Directions

A charming little market town that retains a lovely rural atmosphere and offers a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and pubs, as well as farmers' markets. Downtown, there is a historic 17th-century market hall and a contemporary recreation complex with an indoor swimming pool.
In the Peak District National Park, Bakewell is an excellent starting point for exploring the area. Alton Towers, Britain's most popular theme park, is only a short drive away from the rugged Dark Peak and the softer limestone White Peak. To name just a few, a trip to the nearby Castleton caverns or Little John's burial site in Hathersage is a must, as are many of the stately homes, such as Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, and Hardwick Hall. Visit the Edwardian Opera House in Buxton, which was designed by Frank Matcham, the same architect who worked on the London Palladium.
