Lindwood

You arrive at Lindwood to find a garage for your car and pull into a cottage where the ground floor opens up into one sociable space—living, dining and kitchen all visible at once. A woodburner anchors the dining area, the kitchen is fitted for real cooking with electric oven and induction hob, and the living room has comfortable seating and a TV. Upstairs, a king bedroom and a double sit alongside a shower room with walk-in shower. Exposed beams and curved walls run through the cottage, adding character to a place that has been decorated and furnished to feel warm rather than sparse.

Lindwood sits on the rising ground above Bakewell town centre, near enough to walk down to tea rooms, the famous pudding shops, independent retailers and restaurants. From here you can also reach Chatsworth House on foot. The property suits families and groups of four, though children under five are not accommodated. The essentials are covered—heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included, as is the first load of fuel for the woodburner. A small front garden with bistro seating overlooks the town, useful for an evening drink before heading out. Matlock and Buxton are close enough for day trips.
