The following comments are taken straight from the guestbook we keep for Roslyn House. Verbatim.
We had a great family break at Roslyn house celebrating our Parents 60th Wedding Anniversary. The house was spotless and the layout was perfect for all of the families staying. Kitchen had everything we needed to cater for for all and ample lougne space for family members to relax. Bakewell is a short walking distance and the surrounding areas had lots of things to do! We Also had a dog, so you can use the small enclosed area by the side of the house which is safe and convenient. Great weekend had by all. Thank you.
What an absolute pleasure to stay at such a lovely property. The interior is beautifully presented and the house felt like a home rather than a rental. Bakewell centre is a short walk away and we thoroughly enjoyed a visit to nearly Thornbridge brewery too. A great place for a family get together.
Excellent agency to work with and property exceeded expectations. Walking distance to a brewery was the foam on top, brilliant !!
We really enjoyed our stay - lovely big house, very clean and great location with Bakewell only 15 mins walk away.
The house is very comfortable, well-equipped and has plenty of space to accommodate 10 people and worked well for our party of eight adults and two children attending a family reunion. The decking and enclosed garden to the rear, with outside table and barbecue, make an oasis of calm so that you don’t notice the Buxton Road to the front. The only downside is that the main bathroom does not have a shower attachment with the bath so that slows things down for those who are not in three bedrooms without en-suite facilities. In August it is not cheap but properties of this capacity and quality are few and far between so, if you are a group that wants to stay together it’s a fair price - the Peak District is a popular tourist destination!
We had a great week at Roslyn House at Bakewell. The house was perfectly situated within walking distance of the town which has a wide selection of shops and places to eat (we enjoyed pizza at the brewery which was a 10 minute walk from the property). The house was clean, tidy and well stocked, beds were comfortable, it worked well with our three generation family. We were spoilt for choice of places to visit, all of which were within 30 minutes drive. Although expensive our favourite was Chatsworth house with some of us visiting the house whilst the grandchildren loved the farm and play area, we then had a picnic in the gardens. Peak Venues were fantastic when the washing machine wouldn’t work with a new one delivered the next day.
Very well set up for a big family or friends get together, has pretty much everything you need for entertaining and good amenities nearby
Lovely big house with everything you need for a short break. Easy walk into Bakewell. Only thing to note is the garden is not fully enclosed and small dogs can easily escape!
Ideal location for Bakewell, although be prepared for a brisk 10-15 min walk to the centre. Would recommend a visit to the local brewery on the industrial estate next door. The house was as described. The garden was perhaps a little overlooked, but didn’t stop us enjoying it. All the rooms are huge with great beds. Bit odd that there isn’t a stand-a-lone shower, as they are only in the on-suites. Overall a great stay and would still recommend 100%
We had a wonderful time in Roslyn over the bank holiday weekend, and will definitely consider Peak Venues again.
Lovely clean and spacious home. Beautiful location and great brewery just down the road. Friendly service. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely place to stay. My mum, aunts and uncles loved the space and the size of the bedrooms. Facilities were nice and clean. Location perfect for walking, sight seeing and pubs/tearooms.
Great stay. Good communication, lovely house, and excellent location. Highly recommended!
Brilliant relaxing stay at Roslyn House. The house was really well equipped for a large family stay and a great location for walking into Bakewell. House was as pictured and rooms were bigger than they looked on the photos, especially the living room.
Gorgeous house perfected located for walks between Ashford in the water and Bakewell , we were a group of 10 mature women celebrating a 60th birthday we lived every minute the house had everything you needed a home from home some fantastic memories made thank you 🙏🏼
Very spacious and well decorated place. The main living room had a lovely open fire, and plenty of couch space for 6 people.
Highly Recommend
Lovely comfortable house, 9 of us stayed and all had a nice sized bedroom and lots of social space. Well equipped kitchen and lots of parking. Walkable to Bakewell and a lovely brewery down the road. Great location to explore little towns around the peaks.
Lovely house - perfectly sized for 10 guests. Easy to check in and get the rooms/beds set up to suit the guests. Good location, easy parking.
Lovely place to stay. Very spacious.
Lovely place, had a great weekend!
Everything was just wonderful for our needs. The location space and what wss available to us. Unfortunately last night we unpacked a key which we will send back by first class post today. Thankyou so much for letting it out to us for the weekend for our group. They loved it. Will be happy to write a review for you especially as we took adults with additional needs. Thankyou once again ..fabulous
Great house.
Zoe and the team were fantastic at offering more help .as we had adults with additional needs. They were very understanding and went above and beyond to accommodate us all. The house was lovely ..perfect location and 2 mins in car to local supermarket Aldi. Perfect for a ride into Bakewell and surrounding areas. We all had a fabulous time. 11 Adults and 10mth old baby. Hopefully be back soon Thanks team
We had a lovely stay here! Bedrooms were very comfortable, the living space was large enough for us all to be together & the property was in walking distance of Bakewell centre and a lovely Brewery.
Very spacious property in good location with all facilities required.
Excellent stay in a beautiful home. Brilliant communication throughout. Sparklingly clean with all essential and non-essential items. We would all highly recommend this property.
Lovely, clean and well stocked house just outside of Bakewell. Beautiful garden and space to relax, and clean and comfortable bedrooms. NB the property is on an A road so can be a little noisy with traffic out of the front of the house, but it wasnt a big problem for us! Thanks so much to the team who look after the property.
Lovely house, exactly what we were after for a big family get away
Lovely big house (ideal for our family), ideally situated a few minutes walk from central Bakewell. Very comfortable beds and furnishings. Aldi supermarket and Thornbridge tap room very close by. A short drive to Monsal Dale etc. with Ashford In The Water only a short walk away along the Wye.
Lovely, spacious house on the outskirts of pretty Bakewell village and with easy access for drives / walks / climbs around the peaks. House had everything we needed and is very nicely presented. Would stay again!
Property as described and Bakewell is beautiful lots to see and do or just walk by the river. Property great lovely space for a family gathering or with friends. Nice touches ie duplicate kettles and coffee makers if ten people staying. Great outside wooden decking gives even more space to the property for dining, reading or relaxing. Plenty garden and good off road parking. Great place to stay.
Spacious comfortable house in a gorgeous location. Very well set up for a large group and we had a lovely stay.
Our family group had a lovely time in Bakewell made even better with a week of glorious weather. The accommodation was excellent and it had every facility we needed. The rooms were nicely finished and the house is spacious with a small garden to the rear which was great for BBQs and al fresco dining. Although some of our group lived close by and knew the area well there was no shortage of places to go and things to do all in close proximity. A supermarket in walking distance was a great asset. Many nice pubs and restaurants in the area, some in walking distance and some which can be reached easily by taking advantage of the local bus service, with a bus stop on the doorstep. Will definitely be considering Roslyn for a future visit.
The best stay and the most amazing house ever
Absolutely amazing home, perfect location and a spotless house with so much space great for a big family weekend away. Thank you so much it was perfect!
We stayed in the beautiful Roslyn House over Easter and while the weather was not great - the comfortable house more then made up for it. It was spotlessly clean - and the kitchen had every utensil you could imagine! The large lounge with super comfy sofa was perfect for cosy evenings in and there was a second smaller lounge for the teens to make their own. We were a group of 9 spanning three generations and everyone found the house comfortable and spacious. It is an easy walk into beautiful bakewell and Aldi is literally 5 mins walk from the house. We really enjoyed every minute and didn’t want to leave!
We had a fantastic stay. Absolutely beautiful place with all the facilities we needed and just a short walk into Bakewell. We would definitely stay again.
Really great place to stay. Someone on hand all the time to answer questions. Replied quickly and helpful. Thanks!
Excellent stay. Went with 7 of us + 1 dog. More than enough room with twin beds or double, changeable on request. Ensuite room x2 and then two other bathroom (one with bath) and big kitchen. Went in late Jan - found the place to be nice and warm, never cold. Very well cleaned. Excellent location - very close to an Aldi, thornbridge taproom, 10 min to Bakewell and 10 min to Ashford in water (walking). 4 car parking spaces, so good for parking. Could probably fit 5 to be honest. Excellent garden - didn't use much as cold but would be amazing in the summer. Easy check in and checkout.
Lovely house, very comfortable and perfect for a family break.
The service provided by Peak Venues was excellent, communication was great and everyone was extremely helpful every step of the way. The Roslyn House was a great place for our family, very spacious and located in a nice area. Would highly recommend!
Overall excellent, just a few observations… not many knives or tea spoons, But overall all these are really minor observations from what was a lovely place to stay … thank you
Great venue, we love using Peak Venues properties, they are always to a high standard and well prepared for our visit.
Such a lovely house! Very clean, cosy, and spacious and had everything we needed. The host was responsive and check-in was a breeze. Its only a short walk into Bakewell, which is a beautiful little town. Would definitely recommend!!
We absolutely LOVED our stay at Roslyn House! Loved how much was available (particularly in the kitchen - foil, cling film, lots of equipment, salt and pepper etc). We will likely be returning!
Excellent house, plenty of space, great to be right next to Thornbridge brewery.
Thank you very much our family had an amazing stay at Roslyn house, & me & my Tim, got married on the Thursday at Bakewell town hall It was just the 9 of us just how we planned it, Thank you I will definitely recommend your property’s to friends & family
We loved our stay in this spacious house. There was plenty of crockery and 2 ovens. Just had to be careful of our dogs going through the bushes to the neighbours as the garden was not completely fenced in
10 of us had a great stay here. There was lots of room to spread out and the kitchen had more than enough utensils/pans/trays etc… to make big meals
Super house. Very well provisioned and spacious
Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Rooms were stunningly decorated and house was filled with everything we need. In a great area with beautiful surroundings
The house is beautiful and is in a great location. We had a lovely time and would recommend it to anyone

Thanks you so much for facilitating a wonderful family holiday at Roslyn House. After having to postpone the trip twice because of Covid we finally had our week together in Bakewell and a great time was had by all. Everyone I have dealt with at Peak Venues has been very friendly, helpful and professional and I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone wishing to spend time in the area. I also really appreciated the way you dealt with our reservation when lockdowns were first announced, it was a very stressful time for all but you did a fantastic job, thank you.
We enjoyed our stay ! Such a lovely venue for a family break.
I just wanted to drop you a line and say how much we enjoyed the house this weekend. All the 'girls' had a fabulous time. We'll be booking again for next year!
Thank you, we had a great stay in Roslyn and enjoyed the beauty of Bakewell and surrounding area.
“We had a wonderful stay at Roslyn House, plenty of room, easy with our dog and the most stylish yet relaxing base with everything you could ever want. And the location is a great spot for exploring the local walls and hiking”
The house was convenient, comfortable and clean - everything worked well and the people who took my booking and the lady who checked us in could not have been better - thank you and we hope to be back next year
Lovely house in a lovely area
We had a wonderful stay at Roslyn House. It suited our party perfectly. The children appreciated the playroom and although the weather wasn't brilliant, they explored the garden. The house itself was comfortably furnished and well equipped and I would recommend it to friends for future use.
Fantastic house. Really well equipped,spacious and clean. Perfect location. Thanks
Everything was first class from booking process to first class accommodation
I'd like to thank the Peak Venues team for your help over the past couple of months - I felt that the communication and information from you about Roslyn House was perfect, including the driving instructions, the accommodation layout, and the information about local supermarkets and attractions. When we arrived, Roslyn House was clean, well equipped and spacious, and just right for our family gathering.
We had a great time and much enjoyed the location. Great place to stay.

We had a wonderful weekend and really enjoyed staying in the house.
This is the second time we have booked a holiday home through Peak Venues and were as pleased as we were with the first house we stayed in. Roslyn is in a perfect location so we were able to do lots of walking with the dog and also just stroll into Bakewell or Ashford, where we visited the recommended Bulls Head. The house itself was perfect and we very quickly felt we were at home with all the things you might need to hand. It's lovely to stay somewhere that actually is exactly as described and how we hoped it would be.
What a fantastic property.We had such a brilliant time. Thank you so much
We had a great weekend thanks. The house was superb.

Privileged to be the first guests to stay. This is a beautiful house in an ideal location. Would recommend The Royal Oak as always and our new find The White Lion at Great Longstone. House is well equipped and finished to a very high standard. Everyone at Peak Venues has been very helpful and friendly.

It is always best to check the websites for any seasonal opening times as some places do shut early or close over the winter months.
Bakewell is the largest town within the Peak District National Park and is a hub of activity. Market day is on a Monday and as well as a large range of stalls there is also an agricultural market which is definitely worth a look around as it offers a great insight todays farming community. The town also hosts a craft and gift fair every weekend in Brigade town hall. The Bakewell Old House Museum occupies one of the oldest buildings in Bakewell and dates back to 1543, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the towns past and is very interesting and informative with lots to appeal to all ages.Obviously no trip to Bakewell would be complete without sampling an original Bakewell pudding. The Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop claims to have the old the original recipe and still makes the puddings by hand from the secret recipe.

With the Monsal Trail close by it would be rude not to take the opportunity to cycle/walk along this old Midland Railway line which runs from Bakewell right up to Blackwell Mill, in Chee Dale. The trail offers 8.5 miles of traffic free and mud free cycling/walking and with the recently reopened tunnels offers one of the most spectacular leisure routes in Britain for cycling, walking and horse riding. The nearest cycle hire is at Hassop station which is great place to stop for a bite to eat or for a coffee and nice piece of homemade cake! There is also a lovely little gift shop and book shop and a children’s play area. If walking it also worth leaving the trail and dropping down in to Monsal Dale itself to enjoy walking along down by the river.
Click here for a link to cycle hire at Hassop Station or here for more information on the Monsal Trail.
From the property you there is a lovely short walk through fields by the meandering River Wye to the picture postcard village of Ashford in the Water. Ashford in the Water is probably one of the most beautiful villages in the Peak District and is famous for its beautiful low arched medieval Sheepwash Bridge. You can easily spend an hour or so exploring the pretty village, it is particularly worth visiting when the well dressing festival is on as the village has 6 wells to dress, making it one of the largest well dressings in the area. The village hosts a fabulous cafe, restaurant and 2 great pubs.
Click here for a link to further information on Ashford in the Water.
Baslow, Curbar and Froggatt Edges are only a short drive away and offer a spectacular walking route where you can view both the Dark and White Peaks. These three gritstone edges are part an almost continuous line of cliffs running from Stanage Edge down to Birchen Edge at the southern end. These Edges once famous for millstones, are now known as great places to rock climb. There over 200 rock-climbing routes on Curbar Edge alone, making the edges a mecca for walkers and climbers alike. For walkers Baslow Edge also offers interesting features including a memorial to the Duke of Wellington, a giant rock called the Eagle Stone which in years gone by the young men of Baslow used it to show off their prowess and fitness for marriage by climbing to the top and even some resident Highland cows. There are many different routes, some circular, some linear around the edges and also different starting/finishing points. A nice circular route which also includes walking along the river Derwent can be viewed by clicking here.
5. Chatsworth House and Park
No visit to the Peak District would be complete without visiting the fabulous Chatsworth House. At Chatsworth there is something to do for every member of the family. The Farmyard and Adventure playground is a brilliant day out for children of all ages - with animal handling, milking demonstrations and daily activities, plus a woodland adventure playground with slides, climbing nets and more! Then there is obviously the house itself, steeped with history it’s one of Britain’s greatest stately homes and has been passed down through 16 generations of the Cavendish family. The gardens are equally as impressive as the house, over 100 acres which are beautifully landscaped as well and the abundance of seasonal flowers and plants, there are giant water features and sculptures dotted around. Again suitable for all the family, with the maze, the garden trails, and the famous water cascade to keep the little ones occupied.
