“The cottage was lovely, very comfy and everything we needed for a really relaxing weekend.”

One small problem with the bath, which was sorted on the day. Parking around the corner from the property was not an issue. Location in the village was good with pubs, shops and a good fish & chip shop close by - just be ready for some hills! Would highly recommend the cottage and the nearby area - thank you

“A great little property.”

We would willingly stay again. Our only observation was that the garden had not been cut for some weeks (we did It ourselves). The other slight issue was that the gate into the garden was missing meaning our dogs could wander into next doors garden (shared access across the two properties). Both minor issues that can be easily sorted. Overall a thoroughly nice stay in a lovey little village.

“Lovely cottage with a great garden.”

Beautifully restored but not suitable for elderly or young children as on a steep hill with no parking and the garden is quite uneven. Also no barrier on one side of the stairs. Perfect for couples or families with older children. Great base for the Hope valley and we loved the fact that the garden had the sun all day as well as a lovely view. Kitchen & bathroom nice and clean but needed a more thorough clean under seat cushions and quite a lot of cobwebs. A but surprised that it wasn’t spotless due to Covid. Well equipped generally but could do with a few more bowls and a spatula! Would definitely stay there again & use Sykes.

Couldn’t get on the wifi at all and it states there is WiFi so that was disappointing really as my husband needed it for work

“This is one of the best cottages we have stayed in.”

Beautifully decorated matching new with old. Perfectly situated in the Peaks. Loved it! Thank you for helping us to have a great weekend.

“Cottage is nice - a bit small for four adults but would be ideal for a family.”

However, the stairs are open on one side so you would need to be careful with small children. Parking is only main down point as the house/cottage is on a narrow one way hilly street with no parking. We had to park on the next street along - had no issues but it is not exactly convenient. Only one bathroom which again is not perfect for 4 adults but the cottage itself is well equipped and a nice place to spend a few days. Bradwell is also a good location for visiting various places in the Peak District.

“This was a really beautiful cottage, warm and comfortable, and we really enjoyed staying in it.”

Took a few tips home for our own houses' furniture and decorations! Beds were large and comfortable, excellent shower and roll-top bath. No criticisms, we're already discussing how to get back here next year. Many thanks to the owners, it's just gorgeous.

“A great little cottage in a fabulous village.”

The cottage was well suited for two adults and two small dogs, not sure how it would function with 4 adults as space was pretty limited. The countryside around the cottage is stunning with great access to the surrounding Hope valley. Bradwell itself is friendly with a couple of good pubs, a co-op, bakery and Post Office - just be aware the streets are narrow and steep, being set on a hillside and parking is difficult and not necessarily in sight of your rental property. I can not wait to return for another great week.

“I would highly recommend this cottage.”

It was just my husband and I that travelled with our two dogs, but the accommodation is well suited for a family of four also. Lovely slate floors and good sized rooms, the kitchen is rustic and fairly small being a galley style, but had lovely cooker and good size fridge and everything you need. Bedrooms are large and bright and the bathroom is gorgeous. It is in a lovely position for access to local areas and some great walks, however limited local shops. Personal touches such as welcome pack in the kitchen and bathroom were much appreciated and thoughtful. We did have an issue when we arrived that the door was double locked by cleaners and we couldn't access the cottage, but this was sorted out within the hour and not the fault of Sykes or the cottage owners.

“Lovely cottage”

We have stayed at Rhubarb cottage on several occasions as it is so relaxing. We enjoying the winding quaint lanes of the village and the locals are very friendly who encourage us to play on the pub quiz team. The cottage itself has everything you could ask for with a holiday let. A lovely open fire, the softest mattress that makes you feel like you are sleeping on clouds. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need to be fully self catering. We really love this cottage and our dogs love it too. Looking forward to our next visit.

“Very misleading photos .”

Bradwell was a very nice place . Rhubarb cottage was very dissapointing . There was a very strong smell of smoke in the front room .the bedding in the larger bedroom was disgusting screwed up like it had been in dryer for hours. Shower curtains were dirty.uder settee cushions full of dog hair and food crumbs etc . Cobwebs above cooker .bathroom floor and light fitting thick of dust .this cottage in need of a very good deep clean . Windows dirty inside and out .weeds at the door garden in need of some maintainance. got in touch with Sykes cottages supplied photos said owner was unwilling to give any compensation as I didn't contact him while I was there .i booked through Sykes cottages who I think should inspect there properties more often they offered £50 in vouchers to spend with themselves .which I said was an insult .

“We loved Rhubarb Cottage as it was charming, rustic, well equipped and situated in a beautiful part of Bradwell with superb views.”

Our only suggestions would be for more comfortable seating in the living room and we found the shower hard to access due to the high side of the bath. My mum who is 77 had to be helped in. Otherwise loved the place and would highly recommend it. Thank you.

“Misleading”

We stayed here for a week in August and the cottage was very nice, as was the village of Bradwell which proved to be a good location for exploring the Peak District. We did have some issues, however. Firstly, the cottage is located on a very steep hill, which there was no mention of on the Sykes website. My wife is heavily pregnant and had we known this when looking at the cottage we would not have booked. This cottage is definitely not suitable for people with walking difficulties. There is also no parking at all, which was also not made clear. We had to park on another street, which proved difficult when loading/unloading the car, especially with the steep hills. Secondly, we found that this cottage lacked some basic upkeep and cleanliness. When we arrived, there was a strong smell from the washing machine so we had to buy cleaner to clean it out. The fridge was also dirty, so again, on arrival after a long journey, we had to clean the fridge before putting any food in. I don’t think that this is acceptable when going on holiday. The oven was also very dirty and there was a dirty towel left in the linen basket from the previous occupant. The toilet flush was broken and we found that there was a certain way it had to be flushed in order to prevent water pouring from the cistern. The fire alarm was also disconnected, presumably because the battery had gone. The cottage had a nice garden with great views but again, would benefit from some attention and upkeep. We found that the cottage was very authentic and decorated to a high standard and it could be so much better with some basic upkeep and cleanliness, which is a shame as it has put us off staying there again or recommend it. We passed our comments to Sykes and received a generic reply which did not address any of our comments. I am still awaiting more correspondence from Sykes after bringing this up with them. The after sales and customer service from Sykes was abismal and we would hesitate to book with them again.

“Beautiful cottage in a Beautiful village.”

locals were very friendly and plenty of walks straight from the front door. Have been holidaying in the peak District for the past four years and this was the Best cottage yet. would Highly recommend this cottage.

“We loved every aspect of Rhubarb Cottage from its fantastic location to its quirky interior.”

The garden was a great place for morning coffee with the splendid view of Bramwell Edge. We would've returned except our children are aged 10 &12 and there were some squabble's over bed sharing! My son was happy with a couple of nights on the sofa though after musical beds between us all. One thing I would suggest is some sort of night light at the top of the stairs or glow tape on top step, as I almost took a tumble being disorientated in the dark after turning off the bathroom light. No light pollution in the Peaks! Overall a wonderful stay in a lovely friendly village. A great base for some fantastic rambles and days out. The Talbot-Dear Clan

“This is a pretty cottage with a lovely garden and a marvellous view.”

The bed was extremely comfortable. If I had a niggle it would be the lack of a bannister on the stairs. The village is very interesting with it's little steep winding streets and beautifully kept houses and gardens. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the lovely local pub was not serving food but was welcoming.
