Melville

Melville suits families and small groups wanting space without the formality of a larger house. The three bedrooms—one double, two singles—and single bathroom mean five people can stay comfortably, though the layout works best for those happy to share facilities. The whole property is yours alone, with private parking for two cars and an enclosed garden where children can play safely.

Downstairs holds a living room with Freeview TV and DVD player, dining room, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking: electric cooker, dishwasher, microwave, and washing machine for managing a week's worth of laundry. Bed linen, towels, electricity and wifi are included. A cot and highchair are available if needed. Upstairs, the bathroom combines a bath with shower; the toilet is separate.

Bakewell sits close enough to explore on foot, and the Peak District National Park is within reach for hiking and outdoor days. The town itself has history—Haddon Hall and the Old House Museum—and the famous Bakewell Pudding if you want to eat rather than cook one evening. No smoking inside the property.
