In B&B near Bakewell, B&B near Chatsworth, Holly Cottage B&B, Special Events on 13/08/2010 by ornella84 Edit
The Holly Cottage is situated only three miles away from Bakewell, which is easily accessible by public transport or by a relaxed walk through quiet lanes if you would prefer.
Bakewell is a small market town in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, deriving its name from ‘Beadeca’s Well’ meaning Bath-well. It is the only town included in the Peak District National Park, and is well known for the local confection Bakewell Pudding.
Bakewell attracts many domestic and international tourists. Monday is a particularly popular day for visitors as this is the day that the traditional market is held in the town. The cattle market is housed in a new purpose built agricultural centre, across the river from the main part of the town. A medium sized stall market is held in the town centre. There is a picturesque public park, alongside the River Wye, which has its source in nearby Buxton. For a town of its size, it has a very large town centre. This is mainly because of the touristic nature of the town.

Holly Cottage
Holly Cottage B&B is the estate village of Pilsley, one mile from Chatsworth House, at the heart of the Chatworth Estate.
Come and spend a few days at the Holly Cottage and do not miss the chance to visit the surrounding areas, such as:
The Chatsworth Estate: a large country house in Chatsworth, Derbyshire, England 3½ miles northeast of Bakewell (GB Grid SK260700). It is the seat of the Dukes of Devonshire, and has been home to their family, the Cavendish family, since Bess of Hardwick settled at Chatsworth in 1549.
Chatsworth's history dates back to Anglo-Saxon times. Chetel was deposed after the Norman Conquest and Chatsworth ceased to be a large estate, until the 15th century when it was acquired by the Leche family who owned property nearby.
Plenty of history but not only... Chatsworth House appeared in the 2005 film adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It represented Pemberley, Mr Darcy's home. The house itself is named in the novel as one of the estates Elizabeth Bennet visits before arriving at Pemberley. The house was also used in The Duchess (2008), and The Wolfman (2010).
A very inspiring place just one mile away from Holly Cottage, do not hesitate, book your room and spend some very nice holidays!

b&b near chatsworth - Holly Cottage
Holly Cottage B&B (http://www.hollycottagebandb.co.uk/) is in the Estate village of Pilsley, one mile from Chatsworth House, at the heart of the Chatsworth Estate in the magnificent landscape of Derbyshire’s Peak District National Park.
Chatsworth is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire and is one of Britain’s best loved historic houses and estates, that offer something for everyone to enjoy, from famous works of art, young animals and the spectacular fountains in the garden to the finest shopping, food and drink and many miles of free walks.
The following is a review written by one of its customers:
"I was so happy I picked this B&B. We were particularly interested in Chatsworth (1.5 miles away), Bakewell (3 miles away) and other villages, but I did not want to stay anywhere too busy. Given you drive everywhere in the Peak District in any case, this is perfect as a base. The village is tiny, but has the Chatsworth Farm Shop (with attached restaurant), a fantastic pub with great food (make sure you book, and there is no dinner served on Sundays), and is beautifully situated. All the locals were very friendly. Very quiet at night so we slept well. We were in the yellow room, and after being cautioned on both the website and by Sarah when I emailed her about how small it was, I was expecting a shoebox. Instead we got a beautifully laid out, plushly decorated, quite spacious room. The photos on the internet make it look much smaller than it is. Due to the layout, only one person can lie on the bed and watch TV - the other needs to sit on the bottom of their bed, but that was really the only point I would need to make on the room. The bathroom is small, but well laid out with a strong hot power shower. Everything is very clean and the room was kept stocked with biscuits and quality coffee and tea. The toiletries were a bit cheap, but I always bring my own to B&Bs in any case. The sheets and duvets were comfortable and good quality. Sarah made up the room every day, and also did the breakfasts. Breakfasts were very generous and great quality from the Farm Shop. We did not need lunch whilst staying there. The hosts check you in and then leave you alone which suited us well - Holly Cottage dates from the early 18th century so expect low doors, steep stairs and quirky annexes.
On the peak District generally, we loved Chatsworth, Ashford in the Water, Hartington, Tissington and Froggat. Bakewell and Castleton were a huge disappointment - lacking in charm, full of busloads of tourists going shopping, and pay parking even on the roadside a mile from town. Much better to stick to the lesser known villages and enjoy the pure beauty of the park."
