    I'm hoping that this is the same farm where little Raikes cottage is. We stayed not long ago for a few nights and the cottage was just beautiful. It was so homely and cosy and the views at breakfast were breathtaking. We all had such a relaxing weekend and we would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone and visit again ourselves 🏡

    Amazing cottage and excellent views all around. Was here for a weekend stay while my husband was on a course in bakewell. Very reasonable price for such a cozy, spacious and beautiful cottage. Well equipped with everything you need. Excellent selection of games and puzzles for kids and adults. Two ensuite bathrooms attached to both bedrooms. Parking space right in front of cottage. You have everything here to spend a lovely time with family.
