Unfortunately Bakewell no longer has a railway station. It was closed down in the 1960's. The route and station are still available to walkers and cyclists but unfortunately not for train users. There are, however, a number of alternatives available to arrive at Bakewell.

Unfortunately there are no buses from Bakewell that pass our door. However, we are happy to collect you from Bakewell and transfer you to your cottage. Just give us a call when you arrive in Bakewell and we can be down to pick you up in minutes.

Buxton:

Matlock:

Although Matlock is not a main line station it is connected by a regular rail service to Derby. There are regular bus services from Matlock to Bakewell.
