Guests say
Willoways is a well-received cottage in Bakewell, praised for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and quiet, cosy atmosphere. It serves as an excellent base to explore the Peak District. Guests appreciate the spacious drive and the property's proximity to town. Some concerns were raised about the narrow access road and the lack of a second toilet.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as very clean, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The location is appreciated for being quiet and close to town, though the narrow access road is a concern for some.
The cottage is noted for its comfort, but the absence of a second toilet and the outdoor area's stone ground affecting pets slightly lower the score.
While the property is described as modern and well-equipped, there is insufficient detail to fully assess the facilities and maintenance.
The welcome basket was mentioned as sparse, and while additional items like sauces and wine would be appreciated, it's important to note that such gifts are not guaranteed.
