Crystal stayed in October '24
We had a fantastic long weekend at this charming cottage with our family, including two young kids. The location couldn’t be better—easy to find and within walking distance of three great pubs. The White Lion, just next door, served some of the best food we’ve ever had (definitely try the beef pie!). The cottage is well set up, clean, warm, and cozy with quirky features that add to its charm. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the shower is surprisingly powerful, almost like a back massager! Hair dryers are provided, though I’d brought my own as I wasn’t sure. The location is ideal for exploring the area. We were a 25-minute walk (or 5-minute drive) from the start of the Monsal Trail, a beautiful walk our kids loved, especially with the tunnels. We also drove 35 minutes to Dovedale to explore the famous stepping stones and took an 8-minute drive into Bakewell, which is quaint and lovely. Overall, this was a perfect getaway. The owner was great at responding and recommendations.
Attard stayed in October '24

Great Longstone is a wonderful village, vibrant with a church, shop and two pubs! Ideal base for walking and sight seeing in the Peak District
Holly stayed in August '24
Applehoe Cottage was so cosy and comfortable and we cannot wait to come back and spend more time there. The beds are blissful and the shower mega powerful. Alex was a fabulous host, fixing a small issue quickly and conveniently. Great Longstone is a very pretty village with 2 fantastic pubs of its own and a third in the village next door. Bakewell is only a few minutes drive away and full of even more delicious cafes and bakeries than we’d imagined, as well as a beautiful park and river, with some enormous fish in it. We will definitely be back!!
Neil stayed in August '24
lovely location, great village. Best place for dog walking we've been, apart from the lakes were we're from.. Recommend the ridge walk above the village in the morning and a walk into Bakewell. Chatsworth gardens were fantastic and dogs allowed. Will use again.
Anon stayed in August '24
The cottage is set in a village location with 2 pubs within walking distance. We had no issues with the on street parking, the cottage is compact but has everything you need inside. It's decorated with modern finishes and an excellent power shower which was much needed after a day's walking. I would definitely re book and recommend.
Susan stayed in June '24
Lovely comfortable cottage, well equipped. The only thing l would be careful of is the shower which when first turned on, sprayed cold & then very hot water. In walking distance of two local pubs, both providing good choice of food & very welcoming.
Claire stayed in June '24

Wilding stayed in August '23
My family and I have recently had a wonderful stay at Applehoe Cottage. The cottage is set in a beautiful village conveniently situated for some great sightseeing by car or if you love walking and hiking the scenery won’t disappoint you. In the village are two pub restaurants in very short walking distance. The Crispin and The White Lion. We ate at The White Lion and the food was extremely good especially their homemade beef pie. The cottage itself is beautiful. The interior is tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The owners have done everything to ensure their guests feel at home. The beds are very comfortable (and that is saying something from one who suffers with a bad back) with quality bedding and fluffy white towels. You will never run short of hot water or be disappointed with the Bathrooms powerful shower. In short the cottage has everything you need to enjoy your stay and feel welcome. We will definitely return to Applehoe Cottage but next time we aim to stay longer.
Alwill stayed in August '23
We stayed at Applehoe Cottage for 3 days, directions were clear and the cottage was exactly as described. Clean, comfortable and with plenty of kitchen equipment. Everything looked great and there were lots of local recommendations. Perfect distance from Bakewell and Chatsworth etc, we had a nice walk on a trail from Great Longstone to Little Longstone which was very enjoyable. Thanks for having us and we'd definitely visit again.

Really enjoyed our stay at The Cottage - cute and quaint which is everything we wanted. The hosts were thoughtful enough to leave milk for the tea and coffee as well as some much appreciated complimentary biscuits. Would definitely stay again!
Blessin stayed in May '23
We had such a wonderful stay here! The cottage was very cosey, spotlessly clean, with everything you could possibly need. The beds were incredibly comfy and the location completely silent, so we slept like logs. The shower was both powerful and hot, which was exactly what we needed after a long day out and about. From here we were near everything we wanted to do in the Peaks. Just down the road within walking distance were three pubs all serving wonderful food and Bakewell just down the road with spots for lunch and dinner, but be wared, for evening meals you really must book! I cannot praise this place enough, really the most perfect place to stay and probably one of the nicest we're been to in a long-long while. We're already talking about coming back!
Lavin stayed in May '23

We had a lovely stay. Great location for walking and close drive to many lovely restaurants
Forsdyke stayed in April '23
Lovely cottage, really enjoyed our stay, nice comfy beds and sofas to relax in. Great hot shower and efficient heating. Local pubs served really good food. We found the kitchen table bar under the table top too low for the seating so you cant fit your legs under, so you have to sit sort of side saddle, that was the one thing we would suggest changing. Otherwise we would be keen to rebook.

This was my first AirB&B booking, the property was beautifully presented and homely. Clean, tidy and just what myself and my friend needed.

Will definitely book again to show my husband and our child the joys of the Peak District and the walks it has to offer.

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.

Cosy cottage, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean.
Brecknell stayed in April '21
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.

“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.”
Vracar stayed in August '20
“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!”
Lewis stayed in March '20
“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!”

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 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.

2.Cycle or Walk the Monsal Trail
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.
