Lees Cottage

Lovely cottage which looked exactly like the photos.

Fabulous garden to sit out enjoying the view with a glass of wine. Comfortable beds. Great shower. Really good having the owners next door to give advice. Short walk to the Shoulder and Mutton for really good food. Lots of information in the cottage about places to visit.

Cosy cottage, beautiful garden, really helpful owners next door when smart tv didn’t work, brilliant walking and cycling from the door, fab local pub at the Shoulder of mutton, lovely fresh eggs from neighbour.

A cute little cottage with a pretty garden that has a lovely view.

Equipped with all you might need for a break it has a homely feel. Bradwell is a quiet village but has a pub, coffee shop and small supermarket all within walking distance And a Bus! So we were able to have a car free weekend trip. Good walking straight out of the village if thats your thing.

This was a comfortable enough cottage for 4 nights if a bit limited on facilities, particularly the kitchen and dining area.

The WIFI was hit and miss, and parking was on a first come first served basis. There is not much in Bradwell itself but it is handily placed for many of the main attractions in the area.

Cosy, comfortable and in a great location!

Great position within the village, cottage warm, clean and well equipped comfy beds.

Perfect for a week walking in the peaks and visiting the surrounding area. Would certainly recommend.

Lovely warm welcoming and cosy cottage.

Great to return to at the end of the day. Comfy beds, good facilities, lovely view from the back of the house . Peaceful and quiet. The owners were really helpful and responsive .

We had a lovely stay at this very cosy cottage.

The kitchen and rest of the house are well equipped, wifi worked perfectly fine (I read in other comments they had some trouble) and there is even a smart tv to stream series and films. Or if you’re feeling nostalgic, they have a small but excellent dvd selection (the Holiday, need I say more). There is plenty of information provided about the surroundings and after a cold or rainy day hiking the cottage provided much welcomed warmth and comfort. The view from the terrace is lovely and we were able to have breakfast out one morning when it was sunny. Only downside is when you don’t have a car like us, it has proven to be difficult to get to the nearest train station. There are almost no taxi’s around and busses go only about four times a day, so it takes quite some planning to get around in the region. That being said, the cottage itself was perfect and we would highly recommend it!

Lovely, cosy cottage and a perfect base to explore the Peak District from.

Everything was clean and comfortable. Loved using the log burner and there was plenty of wood provided. The owners lived next door and were very friendly and helpful when we needed any advice. Nice little garden area to sit out in with wonderful views. Our only recommendation would be for some outdoor chair cushions to be available.

Lovely place, great for exploring peak district , no complaints

Very cosy and comfortable cottage.

Had everything we needed for self-catering purposes, also small supermarket only 5 minutes away. Enjoyed the peace and quiet, stunning views, local walks and exploring nearby villages. Chatsworth only 25 minutes by car. Would definitely recommend.

The property’s location was great.

The village had great amenities all within walking distance. The cottage was cosy and tidy.

A very lovely property at a very reasonable price.

I couldn’t fault it really other than trying to park outside. It was a very crowded residential area with no dedicated parking.

Lees Cottage was the ideal place to stay in the Peak District in such a beautiful area.

The cottage had everything we needed and we felt immediately 'at home' when we entered the front door. The view from the back bedroom window first thing in the morning when the curtains are pulled back is really amazing and one I wish I could have bottled! We had a really enjoyable break and hope it won't be too long before we are able to return.

Lees Cottage is ideally located, very comfy for 2 people and was like a home from home.

It might be a bit cosy for 4, but as a base from which to explore the stunning surrounding area, it is perfect. We felt very welcomed to stay and found that we had everything we needed in the cottage. We didn't need to contact the owners but felt confident that if there was any issue, they would respond quickly or we could sort it ourselves as all information about the property was clear and easy to follow. I would book again and highly recommend Lees Cottage to anyone wanting a great Peaks experience

The Cottage is pleasant enough and the landlord was helpful re a linen request.

Parking is in the street. Well placed for walks out of the door and short walk to local CO-OP etc. The only small points to make it even better would be giving the carpets a deep clean ....replacing a sofa that has a sunken cushion.... and double glazing in the main front bedroom as the village milkman was heard too easily at 2am and other vehicles in early hours.

Great situation.

Lovely cottage with everything we needed. Bradwell is a fascinating place. Parking was no problem for us though it might be a consideration for others.

Loved the location and the cottage overall and really liked the log burner and the shower If I had the odd criticism it is slightly tired compared to other places we’ve stayed and wasn’t the cleanest when we arrived, the kitchen and especially the cutlery / cupboards were a bit grubby and the hoovering / dusting in the lounge could have been better but once we’d had a wipe round we settled right in and enjoyed our stay.

The TV and the internet are very intermittent so don’t expect nights in to be spent in front of the TV unless you like a BBC channel… but we didn’t go for that so weren’t overly concerned and finally the second bedroom bed was a bit uncomfortable but the central heating was awesome and the cottage was warm and welcoming all the time so please don’t think we didn’t enjoy our stay, it’s just that maybe a bit of an update and a kitchen refresh is in order for next season

Lovely cottage.

We stayed there for the weekend whilst we done some of the local walks and the cottage was perfect for what we needed. It’s more spacious than it looks in the photos too!

Lovely cottage in a gorgeous, quiet setting.

Everything you need for a relaxing stay - and at a reasonable price too!

Nice cottage but the shower drain needs cleaning, had a good time lots of places to visit

My

Lees Cottage was warm and welcoming on arrival.

Clean, cosy and well-thought-out. For example, the bottle of wine and milk was much appreciated. We spent 3 nights on a hiking visit. The boot room idea, (under the stairs) is brilliant. There are magnificent views in and around the village. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely stay in a well-maintained and cosy cottage.

We hope to return in the summer!

Loved everything about our stay.

It was very clean, comfortable with beautiful views. We enjoyed the fire of an evening, made it very cozy and extra special. Hearing the birds tweet in the morning with the sound of church bells whilst sipping a lovely coffee, looking out of the window was just wonderful! We would definitely go back. Thank you!

What a lovely little Cottage in a beautiful location, the Cottage set away from main traffic which was nice but super close to shops, attractions and lovely walks, we really enjoyed the stay and the milk and Christmas tree was lovely on arrival , i struggled to get warm some nights but did visit during January but would 100% recommend

Well equipped, great location, exactly what we needed.

We really loved staying here.

The view from the back garden is just gorgeous and it was a lovely, cosy and comfortable place to stay.

It’s the 4th time we are staying here.

We love the cottage and the surroundings. The only reason we have not scored all 5s is because of the shower tray which makes it very difficult not to end up with water all over the floor and very wet towels. We are already looking at dates for next year and would highly recommend this cottage for a quiet location, yet 3 pubs and lovely walks on your door step.

A lovely clean and comfortable cottage in an idyllic setting.

The owner provided some lovely extras. Parking near to the cottage very limited.

The cottage was lovely, just as described.

It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and cosy. The view from the back garden was stunning and it was so relaxing to sit outside at the end of the day. I would highly recommend The Lees. The village was lovely and there are many great walks in easy reach. The perfect holiday.

Lovely cottage set within the picturesque village of Bradwell.

Cottage was very clean, has great facilities, lovely garden and wonderful outlook at the rear. Within easy walking distance of shops and pubs.

Lovely little cottage with everything you could need.

The little touches shows the owners really care. The location is excellent for exploring the Peak District and a short walk brings you to a range of shops. ( A shame both the chip shop and bakers were closed for renovations but the pub at the bottom of the hill did its best to make up.)

Cottage lovely location for walking.

Lack of any designated parking is a problem. Stairs very steep.

Parking was the only issue as there was very limited space in the immediate area.

A teapot and a cafetiere would have been a welcome addition. Otherwise the cottage was comfortable and clean and we very much enjoyed our stay.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location.

So handy for lots of places to visit so close by, the caverns, lovely villages, beautiful area. Cottage was well equipped, owners friendly and helpful. Great to be able to walk into the village for a few good pubs for meals and a great chippy! We didn’t have any issues parking, just parked down the lane or on the main road. Love the patio and views from the back garden. The week just went too fast!

Cottage has a lovely position with great views onto hills behind and a nice area to sit out in the garden and catch some rays.

Very nice week spent exploring Peak District, would recommend Monsal Trail bike hire but if you’ve done high ropes before maybe don’t bother with Go Ape in Buxton!

Had a great stay at Lee’s cottage.

Owner very friendly, house has everything you need, a good base for exploring all in all a great break

A traditional cottage in a great location right in the heart of the peak district with a stunning outlook to the rear with outdoor furniture so you can make the most of the setting.

The owners who lived next door were very friendly and helpful. There are local shops and a good fish & chip shop in easy walking distance.

Having been before we knew what to expect.

The garden is a definite bonus for the holiday. The only comment would be that the steps down to the lower levels need a little care for older people. Very convenient village for getting around Derbyshire.

Lovely cottage in a pretty area with very good local amenities.

Cottage was clean and tidy, only slight drawback was the seating in the living room which was quite tight for 2 adults sitting together on the sofa. Perhaps an additional single chair (for which there is plenty of space) would be a good idea. A tray or two in the kitchen would be good too, but a minor point! The outdoor patios were lovely during our stay as we were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed a BBQ - although due to local restrictions on the sale of picnic BBQs you may need to travel out of the area or bring your own to use in the BBQ stand provided. As has been said before, parking can be quite tight and steep, but we were aware of this before booking. Beds, shower, and cooking facilities were all good and the bottle of wine in the fridge was much appreciated!

Lovely little cottage with amazing views.

Some beautiful walks nearby and a good base for exploring the peaks. The owners were friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend .

Much needed change of scene for a long weekend.

Lovely cottage , well equipped, clean and comfortable with a gorgeous backdrop from the garden. Ideal village location for Great walking either from the door or within ten minutes drive. Hope, Castleton, Mam Tor, Monsal Dale all easy to reach. Good co- op and fish and chip shop.Fresh eggs daily from cottage opposite. Only one of the three pubs had just opened but understandable given no inside drinking and eating allowed yet. Great beer garden at the Old Bowling Green and fire pits of an evening. Great weather too which was a complete bonus. We parked in the next lane no problem, would definitely recommend Lees cottage and Bradwell.

Lovely comfortable cottage in a beautiful central location.

We had a great week thank you

Lovely area, and the cottage had excellent facilities.

Great views from the back of the cottage.

Lovely little cottage, compact but clean and comfortable and ideal for a weekend for the three of us.

Great view from patio and pretty little garden at back. Plenty of fabulous walking nearby. No parking at the cottage itself so be prepared to park down the road. Would definitely book again.

Unfortunately we got off to a bad start as due to a mixup between Sykes Cottages and the cleaner the cottage wasn’t t ready for us.

The owners were very apologetic and managed to get it cleaned whilst we had a meal at a local pub. Cottage was nice. Bradwell was a great location. Owners were friendly and helpful.

The cottage is perfectly positioned close to local pubs and shops.

It is set on the edge of the village with stunning views of the Derbyshire hills to the rear of the building. Facilities in the cottage are of a good level and the kitchen is well equipped. We enjoyed our stay very much and would stay here again without a doubt.

Lovely cottage in a delightful setting.

We forgot to leave a note to say thank you to Andrew and his wife! Well presented and equipped cottage an ideal base to explore the wonderful Peak District.

This cottage was everything we wanted from a short break away .

..very clean and comfortable. ..and the area was very good ...

Lovely cottage in a very pretty setting with fabulous views across the valley.

A great location with plenty to see and do nearby. Owners were lovely and treated us to a bottle of wine too.

We had a beautiful stay, the hosts lived next door to the property, very friendly, they left a bottle of wine for our arrival and were at hand if needed.

Everything was available that we needed during our stay, the cottage was homely and very welcoming. Couldn’t recommend this property enough if you’re looking for a perfect stay in the Peak District! 3 great pubs within walking distance and Winnats pass just down the road, great location. 10/10 from us.

Just like another review has said, the pictures and description of Lees Cottage really don't do it justice!

An amazing cottage which retains it's rustic charm whilst having a modern interior - a bit bigger than we expected! - and the garden is divine. The kitchen contains everything you could need for cooking and dining. The location was absolutely fantastic within the Peak District. We won't hesitate to come back.

Well located superb quality cottage with two outside seating areas, good size rooms and large walk in shower.

We were greeted with a bottle of red wine and a coffee & walnut cake by the owners which we thoroughly enjoyed. We would definitely stay at The Lees again in the future.

Cottage had all that was required.

We were welcomed with a gift of wine and scones which was a lovely gesture. The cottage was very welcoming to walk into and the garden nice to sit in.

Less Cottage was clean, cosy and comfortable!

The owners kindly left some goodies for us and a lovely vase of daffodils which was very much appreciated. The cupboard under the stairs with its heater was a godsend as we got very muddy out on our walks and had to rinse a few things through at the end of the day. The only thing missing, that would have made things easier was a washing machine but can appreciate that room is tight in the kitchen. Parking was a bit of an issue as we had two late nights out and couldn't find a space in the village on our return so had to park down on the main road and walk up! We should have made use of the bus service that runs along the bottom road but didn't think about it soon enough. Although we loved the cottage we probably wouldn't stay again because of the issue with parking.

Sheena and Andrew made us feel home away from home and the extra touch of a homemade cake, milk and bottle of wine was very sweet.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We had a lovely stay in the cottage and would highly recommend this place to my friends and family. Very close to Castleton and Bakewell was a very quaint little town and had the most amazing coffee shops. Will definitely go back to this cottage again. Ms Shah

The owner and his wife were very sociable and accommodating and the village and its surroundings are beautiful.

The cottage was great, well positioned, clean and with everything we needed for a successful trip.

It also had a delightful, sun drenched, garden, facing the hills. There were a few nice touches, such as a supply of Nespresso capsules, and the owner kindly popped round with a bottle of wine, milk, some homemade scones and a vase of flowers. We couldn't have asked for much more, but to top it all, the weather was great!

Lees Cottage is a great place to stay.

The bookings process was very simple and straight forward.

This cottage has been modernised to a high specification and is in an absolutely splendid location with a stunning view to the hillside and ridge used by local paragliders and hang gliders.

The village of Bradwell is devoid of the trappings of tourism that besets nearby Hope and Castleton and is all the better for it but boasts all the amenities you require for a relaxing break such as pubs and grocery stores. A perfect location to explore the Peak,District and with the extremely friendly owners living in an adjacent cottage an ideal holiday is assured.

This was our second time at Lees Cottage which is something we never do but it is the perfect cottage in an ideal location for exploring the beautiful Peak District .

The owners Andrew and Sheena have thought of everything and it really is home from home. We will be back.

Very comfortable cottage, well equipped, nice garden to sit out in.

Everything clean and tidy, just how we left it.

Really fantastic accommodation and location: we wouldn't hesitate to re-book!

Excellent location, pretty and well designed cottage with all the essentials, modern kitchen and bathroom.

Great for local stunning walks and there is a fantastic restaurant and good pubs. Best cottage we have ever stayed in and the additional cake and wine were real treats.

Lovely cosy cottage with great views of Bradwell Edge from the back of the house.

Great village with pubs and really good Co-op which sold everything we needed. Lovely welcome pack on arrival at the cottage which was much appreciated. Had lots of good walks as the weather was amazing for February.

Owners left us a lovely homemade cake and bottle of champagne to celebrate New Year which was a lovely touch!

It was one of the best cottages we have stayed in, and the information folder provided by the owners was excellent.

Everything was lovely though we felt they should have provided more kindling to light the wood burner as we struggled to get it going.

Lees Cottage is a wonderful place to base yourself in the Peaks.

Sheena & Andrew have thought of everything and provided a very comfortable & cosy place to stay. The photograph’s really don’t do this cottage justice. From the wood burning stove to the gift of homemade orange spice cake, wine and fresh flowers, to the wet room to dry all of your walking gear, all of these thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special. Thank you Sheena & Andrew we loved our stay in Bradwell and Lees cottage. Josephine, Caroline & Sharon North London

Lovely, comfortable and welcoming cottage with great hosts, they were clearly there if needed (which we didn't) and equally kept in the background politely.

There were nice touches, wine, cake and flowers on arrival, which after a six hour journey was great. Alas I never mastered the Nespresso coffee machine! Where is George Clooney when you need him? The area is spectacular. Our first time in the Peaks and wont be our last. Like the Lake District but without the water and commercialism.....and more rocks :) Despite so-so weather we got some serious miles in. We look forward to returning and to Lees Cottage.

Impeccable newly refurbished house, pretty back garden and wonderful peaceful view (I don't think the photo in the advert does it justice), small & friendly village with easily accessible facilities - off the beaten track but still close to beautiful walks & pretty places, and unobtrusive but kind owners who went far beyond what could be expected to help me when I needed it.

Also wonderful to arrive to wine, cake, milk, coffee pods and tea-bags! The owner is very open to positive suggestions - I would like to see a couple of lap-trays - but a minor point. I hope to return. Thank you for a lovely holiday! Christina (from Kent) September 2018

Comfortable cottage well situated within the village.

It has fabulous views from the kitchen and a lovely garden to sit out in and admire the views. We were on a short break and it was perfect for our needs. We had the king size made up as a twin. We enjoyed having some DVDs to watch and the chilled wine and homemade cake was a lovely touch. Only grumble is the wifi was a bit dodgy, but that's the area. Parking a bit of a challenge.

Lovely comfortable cottage in a beautiful area with stunning walks.

Only two very minor criticisms are there was no potato masher in the kitchen and no non-stick frying pan which made fried eggs almost impossible. Like I said only minor criticism which wouldn’t stop us staying in this lovely cottage again.

Had the best time and cannot fault anything!

The cottage was extremely comfortable very close to a welcoming pub.

Outside the cottage was a patio for breakfast and a patio for sitting in the sun or reading the paper.The village had everything you needed co-op post office chip shop bakery and three more pubs.

Wonderful cottage in a super village with stunning views from relaxing garden

The only thing I would suggest (and it is a small point in my mind), would be additional kitchen utensils and if I were staying for longer, might appreciate the avaibility of a washing machine.

Other than that, everything was superb.

A fantastic cottage.

Great to have milk on arrival. The bonus of cake and wine even better. The view from garden terrace was beautiful and the paragliders put on a fab show on day of arrival. Highly recommend this property. Would only add a couple of hooks on each of bedroom and bathroom doors for clothes/towels.

Great cottage a lovely welcome with cake and wine very homely the only thing I would recommend is a wok We would go back thank you to Sheena and Andrew

Lees Cottage was delightful - newly refurbished, lovely decor, very comfortable bed and great shower.

We were very warm even with snow outside as the central heating was excellent and wood burning stove made the cottage very cosy. The owners provided welcoming homemade cake, milk and bottle of wine in fridge, teabags, coffee and even a vase of daffodils. Bradwell is an excellent location for accessing lots of great walks - Mam Tor, Stanage Edge, Millers Dale for example - and the Monsal Trail cycle route. We would definitely recommend Lees Cottage and look forward to returning.
