About this property

Style and Comfort - Welcome to The Bobbin

  • This delightful Grade II listed cottage (part of an old Stocking Mill) nestling in the picturesque Peak District benefits from being only a few steps away from the village tearoom & 2 cracking pubs! Cycle on the Monsal Trail or walk in the stunning grounds at Chatsworth House, both are easily accessible and glorious views await. A visit to the nearby market town of Bakewell to sample the infamous Bakewell Pudding, is also a must! Our aim has been to make The Bobbin, an extremely comfortable 'home from home' !

    The cottage is split over three floors and comprises:
    Kitchen, Sitting Room with eating area, Double Bedroom, Twin Room and Family Bathroom on the top floor.

    There is a shared Courtyard to the rear, accessible from the kitchen with table and chairs and an outhouse for laundry and a freezer and the for bicycles.

    Regarding children playing outside, please be advised there is no gate to close off the Courtyard.

    Also, the staircase is steep and may not be suitable for very young children, ie toddlers and the elderly.

    Guest access:
    Guests can park in front of/near to the property and have access via the right hand side of the building and via the kitchen to the Courtyard at the rear of the cottage.

    The neighbourhood:
    The Bobbin is perfectly situated in the heart of the village & ideal for those with & without transport. Ashford in the Water is steeped in history & with the Monsal Trail on the doorstep, there is plenty to see & do. You can enjoy a day out visiting Derbyshire's jewel, Chatsworth or pop into Bakewell & then on to Haddon Hall. Nearby Hassop Station has a wonderful café, book & gift store too with cycle/bike hire available.

A beautiful cottage and area of the Peak District, for that perfect weekend trip away with friends and family. The cottage is so well maintained and very clean, with all the information needed on arrival. The owner Simon, greeted us and made sure we were happy with our booking. We would recommend a booking at The Bobbin cottage, for anyone to visit at any time of the year. We didn’t want to leave.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Bobbin and just wish it were longer. The cottage is cosy and inviting, and it was our perfect home base to explore Derbyshire. Everything was clean, Simon was wonderfully communicative, and we loved the tip about going to the Ashford Arms for dinner. It was so good we went back the next night. We're already dreaming up an excuse to stay here again!

Owner was super nice and helpful. Quiet and safe area with local culture vibes. Transportation is kinda limited after hours and stairs in the house was unexpected. Other than that overall stay was pretty comfortable and owner was very tentative and helpful with everything we needed.

Cosy and comfortable

Only had 3 nights to enjoy the area, but provision of maps was very welcome and easy access for lovely countryside, especially biking on the Monsal Trail. Simon and Debs were most helpful with information and communication before our arrival and had easy control of the heating after unusual cold weather!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was in a perfect spot for us to explore the peak district and Ashford is a beautiful and quiet village (we totally recommend Aisseford tearoom for breakfast and check out the Sheep bridge on the river). The cottage itself was beautifully presented with lots of charming features and had everything we needed for a short break. We are already thinking about dates for a return visit!

Great cosy cottage. Very clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Communication was top notch with the owners, who took the time to personally introduce features of the cottage and who provided a detailed manual and maps for reference. The cottage was the perfect location for enjoying many walks and the local pubs and eateries in the area. We will definitely visit again. Thank you

Lovely Peak District stay

We had a great time staying at the bobbin, which we found to be just as it was described and perfect for a weekend with friends. Ashford in the water is a lovely place, close to Bakewell and Chatsworth. There are lots of walks nearby and the pub round the corner does fantastic food. Owners were very friendly and helpful, would definitely like to return.

Absolutely wonderful!

Everything about our stay at The Bobbin was perfect! Debs was excellent with communication and Simon was there to greet us with the keys and to give us a quick tour of the cottage; he even carried our ridiculously heavy bags up the stairs for us! The Bobbin is cosy, very well maintained, and perfect for any type of stay. The location is excellent for walks around the village or for exploring the beauty of the Peak District. If you're looking for a quiet place with tons of charm and fantastic hosts this is the place for you! Are your dates available? What are you waiting for? Reserve The Bobbin now and you won't be disappointed!! Thanks Debs and Simon; we cannot wait for a chance to return :)

Cramped and Basic

We found The Bobbin to be cramped and rather dark inside with a disappointing outside concrete courtyard that is shared by other properties and that has a view of several dustbins. The kitchen is small with limited facilities. There is for example no microwave or dishwasher. Also, the fridge did not have a freezer section. We found it somewhat difficult preparing and cooking meals in such a compact space. The property is on three stories with the bathroom and toilet on the top floor. Getting to the top floor entails climbing treacherously steep stairs with narrow treads. On the plus side, there is a pub within walking distance. The second pub in the village is closed at present. We felt so constrained by the tightness of the space in The Bobbin that we spent one night at the nearby Riverside House Hotel in a room with an outside terrace. It felt wonderful to be able to sit outside with a view of grass and flowers. The restaurant there was exceptional.
