The Olde Coach House

We would use this property again on account of its great location.

Equipment and towels seemed dated and we were unsure of the safety of a hob being lit with a match, given the amount of wood. The owner offered a change of towels which we appreciated.

We stayed for a walking holiday so this was a property that was just a base.

It was unfortunate that when we arrived there was a horrible smell in property, on examination the cushions on the sofas smelt of body fluids is polite. The owner was very understanding and removed the cushions after that the smell disappeared. We had 3 colder days when there and it was cold in the downstairs bedrooms. The owner did come around and put heating on first day after it warmed I turned it down to 15 degrees and it never came on again. I did find a throw in the cupboard which helped. The bath filled during a shower which made it slippery, this could be as the house is older. Negative over. The house was lovely it was very clean the cooker, tv and dishwasher were old but worked. All utilities pots, pans well equipped in the house. Very good for a base only.

A beautiful place to stay.

Loved the location, the property itself was just right for us and felt very comfortable, and after a day of exploring it was like going home.

Lovely clean accommodation.

Information pack. Owner lives next door. Very quiet. Many little extras including welcome pack. Value for money. Thankyou Anita.

The Olde Coach House provided a thoughtful, based for all our adventures around the peaks.

The House was clean, bright and equipped with all the little items, we often forget! Absolutely loved our stay!

The cottage was ideally placed with great walks from the door.

The white goods in the kitchen were a bit dated and there was a lack of kitchen utensils.

Lovely, comfortable place to stay.

Heating was very effective even when very cold outside. Travel cot and stairgate were very helpful, thank you!

We enjoyed our short stay at the converted barn, the only issues we thought needed comment are about the toilet/bathroom.

I am not a fan of rainfall shower head especially when you have swing the shower door open fully and it then sprays out on the floor. The control has to go through the cold setting to get to the hot while you are standing in the rather cramped bath space. The main issue is safety, there are no grab handles to help you in or out and no anti slip surface for the bath. You may find it difficult to get to the barn if you are unaware that what appears to be a small path is actually the access road, we found a very helpful local that showed us where the property is located. Finally the gate catch keeps dropping out of it bracket and then the gate swings out across the road!

Simply perfect for our needs.

Extremely quiet and walking countryside outside the door. The Coop is well-stocked and open daily for long hours. The village shop/post offices has a range of local produce (bread, cheese, pies etc.) and there are busses connecting Bradwell to other parts of the Peak District and Sheffield. For a small group without a car, a pretty perfect place to stay.

The cottage was well equipped and a fantastic base to explore the surrounding area.

Everything was clean and comfortable. Would definitely book again.

Enjoyed our stay at this cottage once we had sorted out the heating on arrival, the upstairs rooms were far too hot and the downstairs rooms were very cold, we had to turn off the radiators upstairs for the whole weeks stay.

Think the timer was set to come on at around 8 A.M , think it would have been better set for 7 A.M. Even so still enjoyed our stay and many thanks to the owner for the " goodies " provided on arrival.

Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Would be better if the listing stated Bessie Lane as opposed to The Hills. The white goods could do with an upgrade (though trivial, it's difficult to turn the temperature dial on the oven if you have issues with your arm as I do, the fridge/freezer opened on the wrong side and one of the shelves is broken [a smaller one would also take up less room]). The provisions provided on arrival was a lovely touch. Shame one of the windows in the living area was frosted glass and didn't open (however I am sure there is a reason for this). Kitchen utensil/crockery etc. is the best we have seen/used in a cottage, and the layout is well thought-out. The cottage was not cluttered with bits and pieces which improved the whole aesthetics of the living areas (the AA book we found in one of the cupboards was particularly useful). The garden area is tiny (though didn't bother us as it was too wet and windy to sit outside), what would be useful though, is a free standing boot brush/scraper. Bradwell is a pretty little village with all the amenities you need and well worth a visit, a good base to visit the High Peaks. Thank Anita for your attentiveness, prior to our stay.

This property was excellent, very clean , there was everything that you would need, good to have a parking space and in a quiet location.

What was described in the advert was true to what we found . A good place to stay.

A wonderful 5 day stay , perfect base for exploring the peaks !

Will be back very soon. Cottage had everything we needed for our family of 4. Great hosts, a great holiday

The Old Coach House is a very well quipped cottage in an extremely quiet location.

It is very cosy to stay in on wet days and everything is provided to give it a home from home feel. Thank you to the owners for the provisions, they were most welcome. The owners were very helpful.

Lovely place to stay.

Very comfortable cottage, extremely clean, with a well-equipped kitchen. It is quite difficult to find - recommend NOT using Google Maps, try what3words ///effort.broadens.glare

Regretfully, I must raise a complaint about our stay.

The condition of the property was satisfactory. I would, however, take issue with the 'patio with furniture'. It was just a small space on the short path to the front door, and no patio as I know it. Still, that was a minor point. The toilet did not flush properly. The flush was too brief to flush everything away. Admittedly, it did flush properly sometimes, still, on those occasions the flush was still not strong enough to flush everything. I raised this with the owners and a gentleman did attend to the problem. He conceded it was an issue and said that he would ask a plumber to look at it - he added that he did not know when the plumber would be available. In the end, the plumber was due to attend the day after we left. The owner provided us with a bucket to flush the toilet. I subsequently raised this as a complaint but was informed that nothing could be done. In summary, we paid good money to stay in a property with a faulty toilet - one which we had to flush ourselves with a bucket. We are a family of four with two children, so this was a very unpleasant issue to deal with. I fully appreciate this was unforeseeable and I have not personal animosity towards the owners, they seemed amiable enough, but this situation was unacceptable and I would like to raise it as a formal complaint. I find if hard to believe that it was not possible to find a plumber to attend at short notice. Needless to say, we will not be using Sykes Cottages again. I would like to escalate this matter and look forward to a response. Mr and Mrs Rooney

This property had everything we needed.

We used as a base and out everyday but would have been fine to stay in the accommodation all day.Facilities were great,and everything was to hand-full working kitchen,washing,drying.

Everything about this cottage was great.

Loved the location. Beautiful village. Only suggestion is to include Bessie Lane in location. The location and postcode given was accurate but there were 30 cottages there. Took us a little while to find it.

A map of the house location in the village would help for when arriving late if it’s dark

A lovely cottage .

Very clean and all the facilities required .Loved the little touches like chocolates, milk etc. Would definitely recommend it to our friends.

Really nice accommodate, kitchen was well equipped and comfortable living room, Very nice village, and parking , definitely 100% better than our last cottage from Sykes Only gripe the flush on the loo

Ideal location for lots of walking and visiting a variety of different places and things to do (age range 22 - 64).

Kitchen equipment could have been better, only real basics supplied. Bathroom extractor fan seems to have a mind of its own, and several of the radiators never came on. Would be helpful to have appliance instruction booklets especially washing machine as tumble dryer facility definitely didn't work as expected. Visitors comment book would be good along with some clocks, especially upstairs. Bradwell village had everything we wanted, and Derbyshire did not disappoint.

Lovely quiet location and generally cosy cottage!

Kitchen cooking appliances could do with updating but on the whole a nice place to spend a week!

Bed not good.

One window in the living area no clear glass. Table in the kitchen gives no freedom for your legs.

A very nice place to stay.

We had a very nice stay at the cottage which was well equipped and very clean, The owner lives next door she was very nice and helpful.
