Gem in the heart of Bakewell
Wainstones Cottage is a winner in every respect. The cottage is immaculate, beautifully appointed with fine finishes, and very well equipped. We appreciated the wine, biscuits, and flowers left by the host. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large and the water pressure in the shower is good. Its location in the heart of Bakewell can't be beaten. Restaurants and shops are literally a stone's throw away. Visiting Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, and the Monsal Trail made for a lovely visit.

A lovely cottage
A well equipped cottage, lovely and clean and with really communicative owners, everything was easy. We had an issue with the heating - well actually the heating was fine, it was me being thick - and the owner was on the phone in literally a couple of minutes to sort it for us, I was very impressed. A fantastic location in the centre of town, but be aware if you have young children that need to get to sleep, the Bakewell Bellringers make an absolute racket at the church across the road every Thursday from 7.30-9pm, sleep was impossible for our 1 year old until they’d stopped. But overall a lovely stay.

A Perfect Cottage in Charming Bakewell
I've stayed several times in Bakewell and can say that this cottage beats all others. It's in the heart of Bakewell so you can walk to all shops and restaurants in the area. It is beautifully appointed, very well equipped, and immaculately clean. Attention to detail is clear at every turn. The check-in was simple and the fresh flowers, wine, and food staples were greatly appreciated. The bedrooms and bathroom are spacious. The water pressure in the shower was great. The beds were comfy and the linens and towels were such nice quality. This cottage is a winner in every respect.

A little family break with our 2 sons, one of which just arrived from Australia. Had a lovely stay here. Great location, place was spotless, beds fairly comfy. Small downside only a small courtyard for a garden which at this time of year not a sunny place to sit at the end of the day.

Weekend Escape in the Heart of Bakewell
Great little terraced property close the heart of Bakewell. Furnished to a high standard and very comfortable for 3 friends. The kitchen is well equipped and the fires in the lounge and kitchen quick to warm the rooms up if the central heating isn't on. The only slight negative is the steep stairs from the first floor down into the kitchen area where you need to tread carefully! All in all excellent value for money in a great location.

Super cottage, great location
Incredibly easy from beginning to end with prompt communication from hosts. Beautiful cottage containing everything we needed and more to make our 3-day stay an absolute delight. We all enjoyed every minute of our time in Bakewell and it was lovely to return to Wainstones after our time exploring the area. The two beds we used were very very comfortable and the bed linen was of a lovely quality. A hugely enjoyable stay - thank you hosts for everything, especially the complimentary beer, biscuits, milk, tea, coffee etc - much appreciated.

Cozy Cottage in Bakewell
Everything was excellent from booking through to leaving the property. The cottage was so central with a one minute walk into the centre of Bakewell and free parking either immediately outside the cottage or nearby. The cottage was so well equipped we could not have asked for more. On arrival there was a free welcome pack including tea, coffee, sugar, milk, biscuits and two bottles of beer, what a lovely surprise. The cottage was immaculately clean throughout and was a real home from home. The living room was bright and airy through the day and lovely and cosy at night with the fire on. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we hope to return again in the future.

This was our 2nd stay at Wainstones and we can't wait to return again. It's a beautiful cottage, immaculately clean and so cosy and comfortable. We love it! Perfectly located, just a couple of minutes' walk from Bakewell centre and ideal for exploring the local area by car, bike or on foot. The owners obviously take great pride in their property and in ensuring you have a wonderful break. It's the little things, like freshly cut flowers in the kitchen and local goodies to welcome you, that make a difference. Don't hesitate. Book it now. You won't regret it!

A Wonderful Cottage
I stayed here for a few nights during early September and found it to be a wonderful cottage. It is in a great location near the centre of Bakewell and is very charming in every way. The cottage could not have been cleaner ... it was absolutely spotless. You will find everything you need in the kitchen and there was a good selection of guides to the local area. Chris was extremely helpful and prompt in his responses to our queries. All in all, a great place to stay.
