  "We had a wonderful week in the cosy,attractive, beautifully furnished cottage."

  perfectly placed with everything we needed and more. Lots of thoughtful touches throughout the property and welcome gifts of milk ,eggs, wine and biscuits for us to enjoy during our stay. George was very welcoming and checked with us to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. Great walking,cycling and great food and drink in the Shoulder of Mutton pub. Even our lovely Labrador, "Bonnie" loved it too.! We hope to re visit the area again and would hope to stay here again.Thank you George , Just brilliant.

  Thank you for your feedback. It was lovely to meet you all including Bonnie. Our breaks are precious, so it gives us a lot of pleasure to see feedback like this. We hope you can return. George and Liz Property Owner

  "This was our first visit to the Peak District and it certainly won't be our last."

  We reviewed a lot of cottages, and going on the reviews, we picked The Dispensary. We were not disappointed. The communication from George leading up to our stay, the welcome gifts we received when we arrived, and the house was exactly as described. There was everything you needed, and from the little communication we have had with George, I imagine if you noticed something lacking, he would try to put that right. He is very committed to ensuring you have a great stay. We visited 2 of the local pubs, and the chippy and co-op. Everywhere you go, everyone was friendly. The cottage is ideally located for visiting the whole area - you won't be disappointed. We are looking at dates for next year when we can return with our Jack Russell who loved the bed provided by George! It was lovely to meet you George, and thank you for such a lovely stay.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback. We try very hard to make sure you enjoy your stay. Lovely to meet you both and let's hope you can return. George Property Owner

  Lovely property for family of four and in good location to go off and explore the Peaks.

  "The cottage was lovely and clean, the added extras of milk and wine in the fridge and biscuits waiting for us on arrival were great."

  The dog bowls, dog towel and dog bed were brilliant to have waiting for us too. The garden was a real bonus for us, we were very lucky with the weather so it was lovely to sit in after a long walk, and we ate outside a couple of evenings too. I hate coming home to lots of holiday washing so for me the washing machine was a real bonus. As for communication with George, he messaged us to say we could check in early, where they kept a fan on the warmer days and generally answered any queries asap. The cottage was perfect for our needs and we would love to stay there again.

  "A fabulous cottage in the centre of Bradwell."

  Everything in the village is close at hand and everyone is very welcoming. The cottage is very well equipped and very much a home from home with everything you could in the kitchen to cook a meal or plate up a takeaway. George and Liz have thought of everything to make the stay very comfortable. we again made use of the bikes provided for a cycle up to Ladybower. Plenty of fabulous walks from the cottage and Castleton is closer than you might think if you walk out towards the cement works (you get a close up of the site on the secure footpath through!) We've already booked our 4th visit to the cottage for 2025!

  "Very dusty property and left us cloths and tea towels that looked like they’d been dragged through dirt."

  Main towels smelt musty as well. On the good side good location and a very warm cottage the garden and gated areas were great. But a cottage which is smaller than the photos look and quite a tight fit. For a cottage for 4 the pans weren’t large enough. Overall it could do with a good deep clean. The location was great

  We are both absolutely astonished by your feedback. We maintain a very high standard of cleanliness throughout. Before your visit the cottage was cleaned top to bottom. The linen is fresh and clean on each change over. At no stage have we tried to misrepresent or mislead. I can only suggest people read all the other positive feedback we have had.

  "What a lovely cottage, furnished & cleaned to a high standard."

  It was probably the best shower we've ever had in a holiday cottage & the bed & sofas were very comfortable. The kitchen had an excellent hob / oven & the fridge & freezer space was more than adequate for a weeks stay. Smart TVs & excellent Wifi throughout made it a home from home. Bradwell has a great fish & chip shop, the Bakehouse with it's Pizza nights & the Co-op meant anything we didn't bring was a very short walk away. The only thing we missed from the description was the fact the garden/courtyard was not directly accessible from the house & access was from the kitchen entrance area which was shared by the neighbours meaning we couldn't just let our dogs out directly from the house into the garden. Would thoroughly recommend this house to anyone.

  Thank you so much for your feedback it means lot to us. I will make it clear in the description regarding the garden. It is not something we can alter. Of course there us the front door leading onto the footpath but this requires a lead! George and Liz Property Owner

  There was milk & wine in the fridge when I arrived & also tea & biscuits. The owner sent me a text on the day of arrival to tell me that the cottage was ready & I could arrive early if I wanted to. Apparently he sent me an email too a few days before but unfortunately I never received it. I also received a text after leaving, thanking me for staying & that, after reading my comments in the guestbook he would be rectifying a couple of things - only to do with kitchen utensils. This all shows that the owners genuinely want you to enjoy your stay & you are not just another "punter". Bradwell itself was a perfect base, having everything you should need for a self-catering break without having to visit major towns & supermarkets. Unless you want to of course.

  Thank you for your feedback . We had a plan to sort out the garden last year but as with everyone covid had a major impact on our finances . We are going to move the bike shed at the end of the garden to allow more space although it is is never going to be a “proper” garden. However it is a lovely spot to enjoy the afternoon sunshine perhaps after a walk or day out. We will then have tubs with plants for the summer. For practical reasons the gravel will remain.

  "Lovely cottage and friendly owners, close but unobtrusive."

  Small outdoor area with table and night lights. Kitchen well equipped, including bits for washing up and some teabags/coffee/condiments. Milk and a bottle of wine in the fridge were a lovely bonus. Beds very comfortable, towels very soft. Great powerful shower. Perfect location, in the middle of the peaks but with good local pub, co-op, bakery, cafe, fish and chip shop, and locally made ice cream all within close walking distance. No problems parking my large hatchback. You are just off the main road but we had no problems with noise.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback. We try very hard to make sure our guests are comfortable. We always welcome any constructive feedback on anything we can improve. We are close to the road through the village so glad to hear noise is not a problem. We hope you might return Property Owner

  Clean and very comfortable. Situated in a lovely location for long and short walks. Easy access to Buxton and Bakewell. Local amenities are excellent. Couldn’t be faulted.

  "It states there is a garden which there is which having a dog is a reason why we booked."

  What it doesn't tell you you have to go out of the back door unlock a padlock to enter it. Which isn't good late at night plus no grass all stones. Also a washing machine but no washing line just a little airer in a cupboard on the top floor. Previous guests have mentioned the carpet needed cleaning which hasn't been done plus stains on the sofas very off putting.

  "Surprised to find the curtain lining in the living room so dirty when we arrived!"

  We had only come out of lockdown less than 2 weeks before, so these should have been spanking clean prior to guests arriving. The nest of tables were very old, and the leg dropped off the smallest one when we pulled it out to use. The toilet brush was disgusting and should be replaced very regularly! The cottage otherwise was nice and clean. Directions to get to the key pad and door could be clearer, we walked about a bit trying to find it!

  "I have to say this is one of the best cottages I've stayed in, very much a home from home."

  Comfy beds, great shower, smart TV, very well equipped kitchen with everything you could need for a week away, bonus of tea, coffee etc & cleaning things - less for me to take next time. Perfect place to explore the Peaks, walks from the door & not far off the bus route for none drivers. I will be back

  "This was our first walking holiday and first 'dog' holiday too."

  The owners have equipped the cottage with exactly what was needed.Small things also were provided that were not expected like a flask and a picnic blanket at our disposal which although not used, were lovely extra touches. Overall, it was very comfortable for the amount of time we were in the cottage itself, which was most evenings after a day out and a meal at one of the local pubs. Owners have supplied extras to the TV packages as well. The location was spot on with good local amenities. Definitely recommend this place for a break.

  "The cottage was lovely, perfect for our neeeds, comfortable, warm and cosy even though the weather was cold and wet."

  . I was just very peeved to discover too late that I'd booked it accidentally with the American agency 'Home Away', for which priviledge I paid an additional £36, instead of with Sykes, who dealt with the booking, key collection details, indeed everything really. Home Away did nothing but take my money as far as I can see I don't know how it was that I found myself on their website placing the booking with them not you, and I appreciate this was a case of my 'buyer beware' as I didn't know you also place your properties with other agencies Lesson learned, but it left me feeling rather bitter.

  "Really lovely cottage in pretty village well placed to explore this wonderful area."

  Past reports of uncomfortable sofas have resulted in new ones being installed. It seems The Dispensary’s owners act on previous comments and improve this property each time an adverse comment is made. Easy to find, central location close to two pubs, good chippy and useful Co-op pop up store (usual one being upgraded). Highly recommended and good value.

  not impressed with the village it was in, didn't feel we were on holiday as nothing to do on a night unless you drove out of village and when you have been driving all day to visit places it's not what we wanted to do. Rubbish pubs and food in bradwell Wouldn't go back to peak district.

  "Nothing went wrong but; the two small sofas were the most uncomfortable items of furniture I have ever sat on."

  .....the amount of pigeon poo on the front doorstep showed it had not been cleaned in a long while. Also the amount of building work going on in adjoining properties with drilling and banging not six foot from our back door and having to negotiate builders vans etc to get to our parking space just took the edge off our stay.

  "The accommodation is well placed at the centre of the village, handy for shops."

  It's also well placed for walking and lovely places of interest. It took us a little while to find the car parking space.. we had to park at the Co-op and investigate on foot. The cottage is a little dark and I think it would have been a bit claustrophobic if the weather had not been so good, ensuring we could get out. The bulb had gone above the television, meaning it was difficult to see clearly to do my knitting! The seating was not very comfortable.. one of us lay on the bed rather than sitting on a sofa for any length of time. The kitchen was well-equipped, though a cafetiere and a decent bread knife would have been desirable. We're novices with televisions and never did get the one downstairs to work! Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much. We've mentioned the negatives in order to help make the place better, but there were more positives than negatives.
