Mr Cook October 2018

“We booked Lea cottage as a last minute decision and we could not have been happier on arrival .”

The cottage is very well looked after and very clean . The kitchen has everything you would need and the bathroom is very modern . I would definitely consider booking again .
Mr Chetwin August 2018

“Bamford is a nice compact village with a buzz of life about it.”

Friendly local community pub a couple of minutes walk from the front door. Lea Cottage is just far enough from the main road to be away from the heavy traffic. There are plenty of famous Derbyshire walks within just a few miles. This was our second visit here, and we found four great walks we had not done before. Of course, having a dry week is unusual, and really helped ! Good broadband signal, and plenty of handy power points for recharging mobile devices.
Mr James July 2018

“This was without doubt the comfiest and most well equipped cottage that we have ever stayed in.”

We really couldn't have wished for anything more. We enjoy cooking for ourselves of an evening and everything that we could have wished for was provided. The cottage was very clean and extremely welcoming, the bathroom and kitchen both excellent. The owners were extremely friendly and welcoming and, in short, I cannot recommend Lea Cottage highly enough. For walkers there are truly excellent walks from the cottage as well as a number of classic walks within a 15 minute drive. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
Mr Hilton July 2018

“Fantastic location.”

Brilliant cottage with everything you need. Bathroom is lovely, and the shower is WOW! Would give 5/5 for the shower alone. The locals are very friendly, so many stopped to say hello. If I ever go to Derbyshire again I would stay here without hesitation.

“This is a great place to stay and so friendly.”
Mr Bottomley April 2018

“Victoria and Mat the cottage owners are great and very helpful”
Mrs Barker April 2018

“Both of us liked this cottage.”

The kitchen was well appointed and the bathroom lovely. The space though, compact, was well arranged and the benefit of the car parking space next to the house was a super bonus in a small village like Bamford.
Mr Stepney March 2018

“This was one of the best cottages we have had through sykes and we have had quite a few in the last years.”

I don't think I could fault it. The local pub run by the village community was lovely and gave us smashing meals.Walks in the surrounding country were excellent.
Mr Carden March 2018

“Good base for walkers.”

Pub in village is excellent.
Dr Ong January 2018

“Don't know if it was Sykes or the individual cottage owner who should get the credit but the cottage was lovely.”

Very nice welcome, fresh shortbread baked for us, and a bottle of wine to apologise for partly unpainted bedroom which I would barely have noticed anyway. Excellent communication from the owners. Hope to return. As a separate note I have unsubscribed from your emails. There were just so many it was irritating. Every day is too much!
Mrs Reis Fernandes July 2017

“Lovely cottage in perfect location.”

Owners incredibly welcoming and helpful. Very clean and comfortable. Hope to return soon.
Mr Harris July 2017

About the location

BAMFORD

Hathersage 2.5 miles; Castleton 5 miles.

Bamford is a delightful Hope Valley village, with some wonderful walks and beautiful countryside, close to Hope and Hathersage, in the heart of the Peak District National Park.

Bamford is surrounded by the Ladybower, Derwent and Howden Dams of Dambuster fame and makes for a lovely day out, either on foot or by bike, and the village offers lovely pubs, a shop, Post Office, bakery and regular bus and rail services to both Manchester and Sheffield.

Just a short drive away is the pretty village of Castleton, which is home to fascinating caves, and is overlooked by the crumbling Mam Tor or Shivering Mountain, and from the remains of the hill fort at the top of Mam Tor, the dramatic scenery of Winnats Pass, Edale Valley and Edale itself, known as the start of the Pennine Way, can be viewed.

Visit Hathersage to explore the churchyard and the grave of Little John (of Robin Hood fame) - whether he ever really existed is for you to decide, plus Hathersage vicarage is thought to be the inspiration for Charlotte Bronte’s famous novel Jane Eyre.

Hathersage is also home to an open air heated swimming pool and a railway station with direct links to Manchester and Sheffield, or you can hop on a train from Bamford itself.

Slightly further afield you can potter around the historic market town of Bakewell, or the Spa town of Buxton, renowned for its spring water and Opera House.

It is easy to spend a whole day at Chatsworth House, while there are plenty of historic properties nearby, or pull on your boots and enjoy the spectacular scenery, with walks for all abilities from ambling along the banks of the River Derwent to climbing the hillside paths and scrambling over the fascinating rock formations.

The perfect base for exploring the Peak District..
