One Castle Street

Just returned from a night at One Castle Street and can honestly say it couldn’t be bettered. Janette is the most lovely landlady and nothing is too much trouble. She was telling me she is only letting 3 rooms at the moment in her charming house and only takes telephone bookings (you won’t find One Castle Street on any 3rd party websites). And it is THE most charming place. The room we stayed in (?Lavender room) was in a part of the house dating back to the 1650s and is full of character. The furnishings and linen were top quality and the room looked out over a beautiful walled garden. Although we shared a bathroom with another room, we had a private lavatory which was perfect. She provided us with a parking permit (parking in Bakewell is at a premium) which was fab, as the cottage is very central. Breakfast was excellent and there were many personal touches provided for the guests. It’s a total mystery to me why the previous review was for 1 star? I’ve wracked my brain’s but I just can’t fathom it out. I can only guess it was given out of spite for some reason and speaks volumes about their integrity. I will certainly be back. Already planning it! Thank you so much!
