Central Bakewell | Sleeps 12 | Parking for 4–5 Cars | Family & Dog Friendly

Set right in the heart of Bakewell, Haddon Villa is a stylish and substantial detached period home sleeping up to 12 guests, offering a rare combination of space, character, and private off-street parking for up to 4–5 cars — an exceptional feature for such a central location. Family and dog friendly, the property provides a superb base for exploring the Peak District National Park without needing to rely on the car.

Often regarded as the capital of the Peak District, Bakewell is the area’s most vibrant and well-connected town. It offers an unrivalled mix of countryside access, historic interest, and everyday convenience. From the front door, guests can stroll along the River Wye, join countless walking and cycling routes, browse independent shops, or enjoy the town’s cafés, restaurants, pubs, and famous Monday market — all just moments away on foot.

Bakewell’s central position makes it the perfect hub for exploring the wider Peak District. Iconic stately homes including Haddon Hall and Chatsworth House are close by, while both the rugged Dark Peak and the gentler limestone landscapes of the White Peak are easily reached.

Standing directly opposite a large park with a children’s play area, the property enjoys open green views while remaining firmly within the town centre — a rare and highly sought-after setting.
