About this property
A delightful, stone-built, end-terrace cottage situated in a quiet backwater of the pretty village of Bradwell, 11 miles from Buxton. The cottage is full of character and charm and retains many original features such as old oak beams and a warm and snug open fire, making this an ideal romantic retreat. Renovated to a high standard, this well-equipped holiday home boasts high quality fittings and lovely furnishings, including a spacious main bedroom with feature fireplace. The property offers lovely views across the village and surrounding fells, as well as excellent walking from the doorstep. The many delights of the Peak District National Park are close by, including the beautiful valley of Edale, which is the start of the Pennine Way, England's first and most famous long-distance footpath, and the famous spa town of Buxton. This is an ideal base for a relaxing holiday at any time of the year.
Set between the Hope Valley and Bradwell Dale, the village of Bradwell is located within the Peak National Park. Bagshawe Cavern - reached by 130 steep steps - sits on the edge of the village and serves as a reminder of its mining history whilst nearby the famous Peak, Blue John, Treak Cliff and Speedwell Caverns are all worth visiting. Also close by is the David Mellor Design Museum, positioned in the village of Hathersage whilst the little picturesque town of Castleton is overlooked by the crumbling Mam Tor, or 'Shivering Mountain'. Bradwell itself provides visitors with a range of shops, pubs and places to eat and makes an excellent base from which to enjoy this fascinating and beautiful part of the country.

Kitchen facilities were very good, all that anyone would need, lounge area very comfortable with modern tv and wifi, bed and bedroom very comfortable. Add this to a very nice village with Co Op store, pub and a lovely walking area nothing at all to complain about. We did phone Katerina the host and owner and she could not have been more helpful. We would genuinely recommend this property, a quiet interest village location. Thank you Chris and Pat

When we arrived there was 'fizz' in the fridge, fresh milk and the essentials for a nice hot drink. The cottage was lovely and clean and has great character. Decent furniture, and a reasonably sized bedroom with good hanging space and a nice comfy bed. It was a perfect place for a couple to spend a week (Bradwell has a good Co-op store, a chip shop and decent friendly pubs close by too!)
