The following comments are taken straight from the guestbook we keep for Applehoe Cottage. Verbatim.
Wonderful cozy comfy cottage, great location. Highly recommend. “Thanks for having us, it was a lovely place and a great holiday. The cottage is beautiful and the beds are so comfy.”
This is a perfect little place as a base to explore the area. Very close to Bakewell less than 10mins drive, 15 mins to Chatsworth. Monsal Trail is on the door step although we drove at the different points due to our youngest child. Lovely pubs few mins up there road, we went to both on the same road serving hearty meals and welcoming dogs. Small village shop up the road selling made coffee and basics. Cottage has a very well equipped kitchen, well presented property, great property and perfect for small family and one dog. 2 bedrooms with two double beds has washing machine, tumble dryer. No dishwasher although stated in welcome pack but not big deal as easy to clean by hand. Would return again and would recommend this as a great base for exploring.
Great spot, great location, perfect little cottage. Would absolutely recommend.
Our third visit. Love the cottage and the comfy beds
Very nice cottage, good location for local attractions. Great pub nearby at the white lion.

One of the best airbnbs I have stayed in.
Delightful cottage in a beautiful village.
Perfect spot to explore the Peak District including Buxton, Bakewell and Hope Valley by car. Everything was close. Such a cozy cottage! Beds were super comfy, great water pressure for a nice shower or bath after a long day exploring, and lots of pubs and a convenience store close by. Loved it
Lovely cottage warm and cosy. Comfy beds
Lovely accommodation!
Perfectly clean, cosy, stylish cottage. Great location, beautifully decorated, very well equipped. Highly recommended. We’d love to stay again one day.
A cosy comfortable cottage in an excellent location for exploring the Peak District and only 10 minutes from Chatsworth. 3 pubs with a mile, all good, the Packhorse is particularly recommended.

A gorgeous cottage in a beautiful village. Great location to explore Bakewell, Chatsworth and other neighbouring towns. So many lovely walks to explore from the cottage and plenty of pubs in walking distance; we highly recommend the Packhorse Inn in Little Longstone which is only a 15 minute walk. A wonderful stay Hannah

There is a great pub less than 5mins from the cottage that serves absolutely great food and places like Bakewell, Buxton and Dovedale are all within very short distance in a car.” “Hello, We loved our stay at Applehoe cottage. It was extremely clean and located in a very scenic village.
A really lovely place in a great village. Beautifully presented and well equipped. Thanks so much. will be recommending it to friends. Sophia
Cosy cottage, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean.
Applehoe Cottage is in the perfect location for exploring the Derbyshire Dales. The cottage is well equipped and extremely clean. The sofas and beds are very comfortable and lovely soft towels are provided. The kitchen is on the cosy side but well equipped. We highly recommend The White Lion a few minutes' walk away (you need to book). We ate in the garden at the back one evening and another evening had a delicious take away pizza from them.
“Beautiful place to stay, interior was perfect and with everything you need. Modern whilst still cosy at the same time. Perfect for a group or family looking to get away in the Peak District. Hosts were quick to respond and very friendly. Will definitely return here again.”
“.... We have had a wonderful time, we are sad to leave so soon but thank you so much again. You have a beautiful cottage in a wonderful location. We have been to the area a lot in recent years and your cottage is the best by far!! Thank you for having us....”
“Gorgeous cottage, very comfortable, well equipped to a very high standard. . Great location. The host was really helpful and kind. It’s a shame there is no outside space, but other than that perfect.”
“Alex's place was outstanding in every way. I stayed here with my partner and parents for a long weekend in the Peaks and I'm really glad we picked her cottage! We found the place sparkling clean, extremely stylish and perfectly equipped, particularly as we spent a lot of time eating in due to COVID19 (the kitchen had all the utensils you could possibly wish for!) It's really close to a lot of places like Bakewell, Chatsworth and Ladybower, but in a lovely, quiet village for those who don't have a car and fancy local walks/a lovely little local pub. Alex herself was very friendly and prompt at replying and check-in/check-out were super straightforward. All in all, absolutely cannot fault this place and will definitely be recommending to all my friends!”
“Alex was an excellent host and replied to my messages very quickly. The cottage itself is stunning, the interior was immaculate and it was a very stylish, warm and cosy space to come back to after a day of hiking. The kitchen was full of everything we needed for our stay and had a great selection of equipment and crockery for us to make our own meals. The beds were also incredibly comfortable. The location is great too, it's a 5 minute drive from Bakewell and is central enough to be close to a number of hike trails, which suited us perfectly. I couldn't recommend this cottage enough, we had a fantastic stay. Thank you Alex!”

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 so 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.

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. Tours take place very Wednesday and Friday at 3pm, booking is advisable. Also if you are lucky enough to be staying with us in the last week of the month, the brewery holds two socials on the last Wednesday (5-9pm) and the last Saturday (12-8pm) of each month. They generally have a range of 10 cask and keg Thornbridge beers, including Thornbridge favourites and also some of their rarer beers. They also run brewery tours on these socials at 6 and 7pm on the Wednesday and 3 and 5pm on the Saturday, again booking is advisable.

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, trampolines 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 and as well and the beautiful 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.

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 staring/finishing points. A nice circular route which also includes walking along the river Derwent can be viewed by clicking here.
