“We had a fantastic time and Helen did an amazing job of making sure we knew everything we needed to. The house is just lovely and in a great location - walking distance from central Bakewell and close to other lovely sites such as Chatsworth House. The garden is also lovely and was great for the kids to play in. Highly recommended!!”

Thank you for your excellent service throughout the booking process – I found you really helpful, especially with my odd timings. My family and I were all delighted with the property, as well. After recently hearing horror stories from friends, of double booked properties or difficulty getting keys, your service was a ray of light!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fairfield House which matched our expectations and was very comfortable. The location too was good - especially as Aldi is now just down the road ! It was also extremely useful having shed space for the mountain bikes etc. which the men brought with them.

Bentley stayed in February '18
We had a lovely weekend at Fairfield House with the family congregating from various places for a birthday celebration and did not encounter any problems. Everything was as described and the house was very well equipped and beautifully furnished. The kitchen and dining area was a great space for the family to relax and spend time together and include our golden retriever Bailey. We had a very enjoyable walk along Longstone Ridge on the Saturday ending at the traditional Packhorse Inn in Little Longstone for a cosy drink by a traditional wood fire (muddy boots and dog all welcome). The house was so warm we didn't get to use the log burner so we will look forward to this for another visit and would have no hesitation recommending this house and Peak Venues for the great service given. Thank you to all and please pass on our appreciation and thanks to the owner Helen who also kindly allowed us to arrive earlier than the normal check-in time.

I just wanted to say that we all thoroughly enjoyed staying at Fairfield House this past week.

Jones stayed in July '16
I wanted to send you a short email to let you know how much we loved Fairfield House and enjoyed our stay this weekend. Arriving on Friday and sipping champagne in the evening sun on the decking, to saying a sad goodbye in the rain this morning, we loved every single minute. The house was much bigger than expected and with 8 adults and 3 young children we all had more than enough space thanks to the great layout. The furnishings were gorgeous, beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed. I think the only item we couldn't find was a cheese grater! We have all said that we would love to return again soon and I am planting the seeds to maybe return around Christmas time, availability dependent. Either way we would highly recommend and will definitely return!
Jones stayed in July '16

Our Top 5 Places to Visit Nearby
1. Spend a day exploring the historic market town of Bakewell
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 the 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 original recipe and still makes the puddings by hand from the secret recipe.
Click here for a link to further information on Bakewell.
2.Cycle or Walk the Monsal Trail
With the Monsal Trail literally on your door step 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 is 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.
3.Take a tour around the Thornbridge Brewery
This award winning brewery is just down the road from the property and for any real ale lover taking a tour of this state-of-the art brewery is not to be missed.

4.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.
