“Lovely cottage, ideal for myself and my wife to explore the local area.”

Booking through Sykes was no problem, have used before and will use again.

Linda August 2021

“Our second year staying at Elderbank and we love it!”

Perfectly located in Bradwell, which is a quiet and very picturesque village, ideal for exploring the area then returning home away from the crowds. The cottage is cosy and well equipped and the parking space is a major plus. Everything was spotlessly clean on arrival, with lots of nice touches like a bottle of bubbly, tea/coffee, milk and biscuits etc, all much appreciated. We hope to come back again soon!

- Linda, August 2021
Bryan June 2021

“Elderbank is compact but beautifully appointed, furnished to a high standard and was very well equipped.”

The only criticism was the lack of information on the area, such as places to visit and suggestions for walks. In all other holiday cottages we have stayed in, whether in the UK or abroad, literature covering such topics, has been available. Otherwise we were very happy with our stay.

- Bryan, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. With regard to information on local attractions etc, any leaflets or printed material we had was removed in accordance with Covid-19 guidelines. Laminated information was left in place for details on the property itself as this can be easily wiped down but other details were removed and our advice now would be to search local information online, especially as details for local attractions and businesses have been so changeable this past year; some may have closed and others have different opening times so we would advise to check online for up to date details. Thanks again for your comments. Property Owner

“Lovely cottage with everything you could wish for.”

Katrina was very attentive without being intrusive. Weather during my stay was not great so could not see so much of the Peak District as I would have liked. Nowhere too busy during the week, because of the weather ? However on the Sunday when the weather wasn't too bad everywhere was very crowded and car parks were full. Only change I would make would be to change the layout of the hardstanding for parking with 'grasscrete' or similar, as at the moment the easiest way to to exit is to back down the road onto the street.

- Alec, May 2021
Peter May 2021

“This was a lovely cottage that met our needs.”

Ideal base, central for exploring the Peak District. Communication with owner and Sykes was god. Good wifi signal. Hopefully will be back again next year. Would recommend.

- Peter, May 2021
Ian April 2021

“We enjoyed our week in this quiet, cosy and well equipped cottage.”

The only problem was reversing out of the parking space, which could be improved with a radius on the uphill corner. The steep steps might be a problem for some, as might the low kitchen doorway for six foot tall visitors.

- Ian, April 2021
Jean October 2020

“Lovely comfortable, cosy cottage.”

Very well equipped. Lovely to return to after days out walking, especially at this time of year. Many thanks to the owner, Katrina for her care and communications by text message.

Anthony October 2020

“Just returned from staying at Elder Bank cottage in Bradwell.”

Perfect base from which to explore the Peak District. We had a great week!

- Anthony, October 2020
Patrick September 2020

“We loved Bradwell.”

Very central for walks around the peaks. The cottage was very cosy and well equipped. The only negative thing we have to mention is the oven. The hobs were fine but the grill and oven took ages to cook.

- Patrick, September 2020
Deborah August 2020

“Lovely cottage in a pretty village, all the comforts of home.”

Nice welcoming gifts by the owner which was enjoyed

- Deborah, August 2020
Linda August 2020

“Our first visit to the Peak District and Elderbank was perfect, gets a 10 out of 10 from us!”

A pretty traditional cottage in a lovely quiet location, with very short walking distance to the local shops and pubs. The parking space was definitely a bonus. Katerina, the owner, was super helpful, and the house was spotlessly clean on arrival. For a small cottage it was really well equipped and we appreciated all the extras like coffee, biscuits and Prosecco! There were lots of additional useful items like tissues, hand sanitizers and wipes etc. The village itself is a great base for exploring the area, and we made use of the local bus service to Castleton which was handy. Bradwell is super hilly beyond the main road through it, very beautiful and interesting and well worth exploring all the side and back streets. We could have easily stayed for another week and would love to come back again - thank you!

- Linda, August 2020
Paul February 2020

“Lovely cottage which we have stayed in before.”

All very clean and well cared for. Great location for walking in the Peaks and seeing our family in Sheffield. A great place for resting and recovering with a log fire and friendly people in the village. We will hopefully be returning in a few months time.

- Paul, February 2020
Steve February 2020

“The dark Peak District is beautiful in any weather.”

People in this part of the world are lovely. The cottage has everything you need for two people. The kitchen is smaller than it looks on the photos but it’s well kitted out with quality. The host was helpful and not intrusive. A nice little welcome pack was thoughtful. The village has nice pubs and you’re close to lots of great places to walk. We had a great week in pretty dodgy weather. The fire really came into its own.

- Steve, February 2020

- Sarah, December 2019
Mark June 2019

“There were pegs and a whrligig washing line but this was in a shed and there was nowhere obvious to put it.”

Brenda J January 2019

“Lovely sweet,cozy cottage, great fireplace!”

Location was great for country side walks, and we had no problem finding the local pubs.The place was indeed very small, but pretty much had almost everything you needed for a little getaway. It looks like it was recently renovated, as well, nice couches, beautiful cabinets in the kitchen. It was completely immaculate upon arrival. Our host Katrina left us a stellar bottle of wine, which was so appreciated! She also offered the cottage a few hours earlier than we expected, and texted us about some potential slippery weather. Only wish we could of enjoyed coffee in the garden, I bet it's lovely out there in the springtime! Thanks for a lovely stay! Brenda and Jason

- Brenda J, January 2019
Roy December 2018

“Arrived at the cottage on 21st Dec -29th Dec 2018 .”

The cottage was beautifully presented, cosy, very well equipped, clean and a few Christmas touches. A box of chocolates and a bottle of wine were waiting for us. The village of Bradwell, set in the hills of Derbyshire, was Beautifull and was well served by good pubs and shops. We visited Chatsworth, all decorated up for Christmas, the theme being children’s fairy stories, it was magical. What could be better than spending Christmas around an open fire in a lovely cottage.

- Roy, December 2018
Dennis September 2018

“Bradwell is a perfect location for us.”

We could choose good walks everyday without having to use the car. It was very reassuring to know we had a warm comfy cottage to return to. It is also very important to us that “no pets” cottages of this quality are available to us in such a wonderful location.

- Dennis, September 2018

Market fish and chip takeaway and an icecream shop. The cottage is peaceful with a little garden to sit out in . Great walls within easy reach.

- Pat, June 2018
Mark June 2018

“Lovely place, Very clean with easy parking.”

Welcome gifts very welcome, would have liked to light the open fire but it was a bit too warm for that. Great fish & chip shop down the road and a handy little Co-op. Good base position for exploring and although we did not need it there was a lot of space for storing bikes etc. Will look to book again when visiting the area.

- Mark, June 2018

Lovely friendly village. Fantastic fish and chip shop best in area. Lovely pubs and plenty of them. Good base for our exploration of the Pennine Way so we could have long walking days and plenty of luxury in the evenings. Friendly owner - on hand and helpful. Great to have an open fire for chillier evenings. Altogether very relaxing and restoring.

Emma December 2013

“This was the most perfect property we could have selected.”

We were looking for a romantic hideaway for a few days of home-away from home comfort, surrounded by beautiful countryside and we couldn't have chosen a better place. From the welcoming bottle of wine and glasses awaiting our arrival to ample fire fuel, and a very clean comfortable and cosy property overall, we were very happy with our stay. I would wholly recommend this property to any couple who seek a few days of pure relaxation.

- Emma, December 2013
Paul October 2013

“Elder Bank cottage was ideally located for our walking holiday in the Hope Valley and surrounding area, so many walks close by.”

The cottage was wonderfully equipped, and furnished and very comfortable. The allocated parking space was a great feature of the cottage. Bradwell has 3 pubs that serve good food, all within a couple of minutes walk from the cottage, although The Samuel Fox is more of a restaurant than a pub, serving excellent food, the best in the village, in my opinion.

- Paul, October 2013
Janet September 2013

We would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a quiet rural holiday.

S B June 2011

“My husband and I have been to Elder Bank before.”

The owners are lovely hosts and always leave a welcome tray. We love the fact that we can walk out from the cottage without having to use the car. We also find the people of Bradwell friendly and helpful. Plenty of places to visit close by if you are not walkers. The opening of the railway tunnels has made the area around Monsal Dale and the surrounding areas very popular.

- S B, June 2011
Frank May 2011

“The property is comfortable, individual, well-equipped and idyllically set, and - even at a non-rock-bottom rental - there is a real feeling about it of 'value for money'.”

“The cottage really was excellent -although the owners only lived 100metres away, we never had cause to contact them about anything after the directions and key allocation were sorted on the phone.”

The only concern now is how any other cottage will compare in the future! We felt the cottage was a home from home, and with the information leaflets left by the owners about local interests, we had a very full week.

- Alison, May 2007

Nerys December 2006

“This is a wonderful cottage.”

I think it's fair to say that this is the best cottage that I have stayed in. A wonderful, warm, cosy and homely cottage. Good clear directions. The property was immaculately clean and arriving to a pint of milk in the fridge and a ready laid fire was exactly what we needed after a 4 hour drive. I would recommend this cottage without hesitation.
