Fable Cottage Luxurious Stay

The property was a gorgeous cosy cottage with nice decor, very clean and it had everything you needed. The location was brilliant and we managed to park outside.

Found it really awkward to exit the stairs coming down at the bottom, would be quite easy to slip.

Great location, easy to walk into the main part of Bakewell to enjoy all it has to offer. A cute cottage with some lovely features and a huge bed in the master bedroom.

Heating wasn’t on when we arrived and despite following all the instructions in the manual it would not work which is not ideal in January, thankfully the fire did work which heated the main living area. The stairs are also incredibly narrow, steep and slippy which should be included in the booking details as would be impossible for anyone with mobility issues. Communication with host was poor, sent an early request about the property and never had any reply which was frustrating. The parking permit for outside the cottage expired in 2025 which needs updating.

Super cosy cottage. Easy check in and close to local amenities. Perfect for Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall.

Location was perfect, just a short walk into Bakewell with lovely shops and pubs. The cottage had pretty much everything required for our short stay and was lovely and cosy

We felt the communication with the owners was not up to standard. We were also told we could access the property at 3pm but was not given the access code until 4pm. This caused a bit of stress as we tried to contact both the owners and booking.com with no joy. This was not the first time we had tried to contact the owners without success

The cottage was so cosy and comfy. It was lovely and warm when we arrived. Lovely touches like blankets to snuggle with. Comfy beds. Kitchen and bathroom were very modern and impressive. It was christmas time and little christmas fairy lights made it more special. I would definitely stay here again if in Bakewell.

Not that I didn't like it but the stairs were slippy due to the nature of being polished wood. I had a 4 and 3 yr old so was more conscious of this, but they were just sent down on their bums. It is up a steepish hill. Fine for us and obviously parking outside.

The cottage was really cosy and warm, the bed was really comfortable and living room and sofa was a lovely place to relax

Considering the price £170 for the night, it would have been nice to have a little bit of a welcome pack, some milk, tea bags, ground coffee etc and some basics like salt and pepper and oil, and perhaps even a few eggs, especially as there are not really any shops within walking distance.

The cottage is beautiful and very well presented. Spotlessly clean with comfortable furnishings and tasteful soft furnishings that enhance the ambience. Self catering is very easy in the modern, well equipped kitchen. Very comfortable beds. Modern bathroom with a very efficient shower over the bath. Nice towels. The bathroom is downstairs which could present a problem for anyone needing to use it during the night. The stairs are quite steep and care needs to be taken. The use of the resident parking permit to park outside the cottage is a definite bonus. The location is great, being so close to the centre of Bakewell, albeit up a steep hill. Plenty of cafes, coffee shops, bars and restaurants in the town centre. Close to Chatsworth House and 10 miles from Matlock/Matlock Bath, and also close to Monsal Trail for walking and cycling. Plenty to do in the area so an ideal base for exploring. Just wish we could have stayed longer - perhaps next time 😜

The stairs could be a problem for anyone with mobility problems and should be noted on the property details so that people are aware.
