The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly - including the cleaning staff, the receptionists, the bar staff, the restaurant staff and the chef who chatted to us too. The location of the hotel was excellent and very central with easy access to bus stops. The rooms we stayed in were lovely and situated on the second floor of the main hotel building. There is no lift (being an historic building) so a member of staff kindly arranged for our luggage to be taken to our rooms.

The location was chosen due to our planned visit to Chatsworth and Bakewell. The location was more quiet than expected considering it was main school holiday season. A bonus for us but maybe not business.

The property is actually in the beautiful village of Baslow, which I enjoyed greatly with its old properties, walks and amenities. These included a good bus service which enabled me to get to places like Bakewell - the busy hub of life in rural Derbyshire and about 4 miles away. Nonetheless a very attractive place to explore with old property and the River Wye flowing through.
My answers to Section 4 below relate to Bakewell although my holiday cottage was in Baslow.

Bakewell and the Peak District has been our family’s Happy Place for 15 years! Just love the whole area. Busy village, with plenty of shops and places to eat, a lot selling local produce. A busy market every Monday. As an active family enjoying the outdoors, it is an excellent base to explore the surroundings. Lots of opportunities to walk, hike and cycle. Plenty of historic properties in the area, including the wonderful Chatsworth hall and gardens. Great places to eat, with one of the best Indian restaurants. An amazing part of the country!

A pretty town with plenty of restaurants and eating options available. Plenty of walking opportunities within a few miles from Bakewell, as well as other scenic towns / villages, like Matlock, Buxton and Matlock Bath. Also not too far from the majestic Chatsworth house and estate.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Rafters, the ground and house was so picturesque and lovely it felt as if we had stepped onto the pages of a Jane Austen novel.
We had two rooms both with beautiful claw foot bath tubs, which are a must on a cold winters eve.
Finally, the breakfast was spectacular. A full three courses, and even an vegetarian option to the full English breakfast which was the best I have ever had.
Thank you to the staff for making our stay so memorable!
The location is as good as it gets, central and easy to find. The on site parking makes this an excellent choice for visiting this area (Chatsworth House to name but one amazing location). The room was modern and immaculate. The WiFi was first rate. The staff were attentive and very professional. Whilst we didn’t eat in the hotel, what we saw looked amazing. We had a fabulous stay in Bakewell and the Derbyshire Peak District.
Very convenient to Bakewell shops, restaurants, and attractions. Staff was very welcoming and appropriately responded to our requests. We arrived by bicycle and were allowed to store our bicycles in the foyer. The room was large and properly furnished. It had good natural lighting from large south facing windows. Breakfast was ample and cooked to order. The price was reasonable and I would definately stay here again.
This inn is in an old farm nestled in the beautiful countryside of Derbyshire and close to the adorable town of Bakewell. It is exactly as it presents itself: there are no amenities on the property, but the hassop station is wonderful and within walking distance. We enjoyed pleasant evenings in the gorgeous garden, and overall was a cozy place to hang our hats after long days of hiking and exploring the local trails!
Good location in the centre of Bakewell. Lovely setting overlooking the gardens. Very peaceful considering the proximity to the road and town centre. Secure parking. Good hospitality tray in room. Spotlessly clean. Nice towels. Friendly and welcoming staff. Good breakfast.
Breakfast room was very good it also doubled up as restaurant. Location was also very good right in the centre of Bakewell. Its position on the roundabout meant there was plenty of noise from traffic if you were staying at the front of the hotel. The staff were very good.
The location was excellent - in the town centre. I liked the included breakfast and the free parking was a huge bonus as Bakewell can get very busy at the weekend. The staff were friendly and helpful and we were always able to get a sunny seat in the beer garden.
Fantastic breakfast, super friendly and helpful staff. Great location close to the center of Bakewell. Free parking. Rooms were clean and comfortable adjacent to the pub. All amenities within a few minutes walk of the pub.
Beautiful traditional terraced cottage located on the edge of Bakewell., in a quite location and backing onto open fields; yet only a short 10min walk away from all the bustle of the town centre.
Wonderful hosts.
Perfect location in Bakewell Town centre for visiting the Monsal Trail and Thornbridge Brewery.
Wonderful hosts.
Clean, comfortable room with everything you need.
Great vegetarian breakfast.
Great place to stay within walking distance of the centre of Bakewell.
Lovely modern interior.
Excellent communication with James, the owner on arrival. Would stay again.
Property was excellent, very clean and well taken care of. So close to everything in the quaint town of Bakewell. We are very glad that we made it a stop on our journey.
We stayed at 4 different hotels in England during our vacation and this was by far our favorite. It was perfect! Thank you, James, for your excellent hospitality.
Fantastic location and only a short 3 min walk to centre of Bakewell. Very modern and clean apartment. Parking for our 2 cars outside the property was a bonus.
