Welcome to Knowsley Cottage: Your Bakewell Sanctuary

Located in the vibrant heart of Bakewell (the `Capital of the Peak`), Knowsley Cottage is a spacious 3-bedroom retreat designed specifically for friends and families who love to gather. Unlike standard rentals that squeeze guests into small kitchenettes, Knowsley is your `Social Basecamp`—curated to balance historic charm with modern `group-ready` luxury.

LIVING & ENTERTAINING This is the heart of the home, designed for those who believe the best memories are made over food and wine:

The Chef’s Kitchen: An expansive space fully equipped for the serious cook. It features a Wine Cooler, Nespresso Machine, dishwasher, and ample prep space so you can cook while chatting with your group.

Dining for 6: A large dining table that comfortably seats everyone for long, laughter-filled dinners.

The Lounge: A cosy sanctuary with comfy seating and a Smart TV, perfect for movie nights after a day hiking Mam Tor.

SLEEPING & PREPARATION (Sleeps 6) We prioritize `Equality of Experience` and have designed our bedrooms to ensure a smooth morning routine, addressing the historic quirk of having one family bathroom:

The Bedrooms: Three individually styled bedrooms (1 King, 2 Doubles) featuring premium linens and blackout options for a restorative sleep.

The `Vanity Station` Solution: To ensure your group can get ready without queues, we have installed a dedicated Vanity Station (mirror, lighting, and power points) in the master bedroom. This allows hair and makeup to happen simultaneously, leaving the bathroom free for showering.

The Bathroom: One spacious, luxury family bathroom with a bath and shower overhead.

OUTDOOR SANCTUARY

The Hot Tub: Sink into the bubbles in your private 6-Seater Hot Tub, housed under a gazebo so you can enjoy it rain or shine.

The Enclosed Patio: A secure, enclosed outdoor space, rare for a town centre property and ideal for keeping your dog safe.
The `Gold Dust` Feature: We provide private off-road parking right at the property. In Bakewell, where parking is notoriously difficult, this allows you to arrive, park up, and forget the car for the weekend.

EV Charging: We offer a 7kW EV Charger (Shared/Universal). Type 2 cable attached.

Check-In: Self-check-in via a secure key safe allows for a flexible arrival after 4:00 PM.

Accessibility: The property is set over two floors with stairs, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.

We are Peak Cottage Collection, a local family-run team passionate about the Peaks.

Digital Concierge: Upon booking, you will receive our Touch Stay Digital Guidebook. This is your `Bible` for the stay, featuring video guides for the hot tub and heating, plus our personal `Insider Tips` on which Bakewell Pudding shop is actually the best (locals have strong opinions!).

Support: We respect your privacy and offer a self-contained stay, but we are just a message away if you need us.
You are perfectly positioned to enjoy the `Urban-Rural` lifestyle. You get the peace of a cottage with the convenience of a town:

Walk: You are a 2-minute flat walk to the town centre, the famous Bakewell Pudding Shop, and the love-lock bridge over the River Wye.

Eat: Stroll to top-rated local favourites like Lovage (modern British) or The Woodyard for dinner—no taxi required.

Explore: The Monsal Trail starts nearby for cycling, and the Chatsworth Estate is a short drive away.
On Foot: Bakewell is very walkable; you can reach supermarkets, cafes, and river walks easily on foot.

Bus: The local bus stops are a short walk away, offering the `Transpeak` service to Buxton, Matlock, and Derby.

Car: Essential for exploring the wider National Park (e.g., Mam Tor, Kinder Scout), but not needed for your immediate amenities.
Bathroom Transparency: The property has one large family bathroom. We are transparent about this and have optimised the master bedroom with a `Vanity Station` to make mornings seamless for groups of 6.

Pet Friendly: We welcome well-behaved dogs! We ask that they stay off the furniture and out of bedrooms. A `muddy paws` towel is provided, hung in the cupboard under the stairs.

Hot Tub Safety: For your health and safety, the hot tub is drained, cleaned, and refilled between every guest. We even pre heat the hot tub to ensure its ready for your arrival.
Please leave space on the driveway for our neighbours to get access to the rear of their properties. it is important that this is respected. Thank you
