Please note: There are 8 steps and drops in the garden.. Lillegarth is a wonderful, 18th-century stone built cottage in the popular Hope Valley village of Bradwell, within the heart of the Peak District National Park. Originally two cottages now opened up as one, the property is full of character and charm with exposed beams, low doorways, exposed stone work and steps between rooms. In an elevated position, surrounded by extensive grounds and accessed up a narrow lane, the setting is peaceful and with views that are nothing less than spectacular. In the winter months, the gas log-effect wood burner provides a warm, cosy environment in what is a spacious property, and for the summer, the summerhouse is a perfect place to relax whilst the sun goes down and admire magnificent views. In addition there are several other outdoor seating areas all surrounded by fantastic views.
As a village, Bradwell is a picturesque, rabbit-warren of narrow lanes and tiny cottages, built up a steep hillside, and as can be seen from Lillegarth, the village is surrounded by fabulous countryside. Making an excellent base, local facilities within the village include shops, pubs and places to eat, and there are also two children’s playgrounds within the village. Bradwell amenities also include a fish and chip shop, a shop, bread shop, Post Office and a hairdressers.
The surrounding area holds a whole host of attractions including the ever popular honeypot village of Castleton, just 10 minutes away. Hathersage, also 10 minutes, is a larger village with a wealth of facilities including an open-air heated swimming pool in the summer months. The market town of Bakewell, home to the magnificent historic houses of Chatsworth and Haddon Hall, can be reached in just 20 minutes, and the spa town of Buxton is a similar distance. For outdoor enthusiasts, being surrounded by National Park countryside means there are numerous tracks, trails and footpaths offering cycling and walks from Bradwell, and the start of the Pennine Way is at nearby Edale. Finally, for any thrill seekers, Matlock with its cable car to the Heights of Abraham is around 40 minutes away, and the UKs premier theme park Alton Towers around an hour.

This is a beautiful cottage in a stunning location. It was very well equipped. Location is within easy reach on foot of shops, pubs, cafe. Beautiful walks start from the doorstep. The multiple levels on the ground floor could be challenging for anyone with reduced mobility. Like another guest, I failed to realise that the main bathroom was on the ground floor: not a problem for our three adult sons, but worth considering if you're not the person with the en-suite bedroom upstairs. There were multiple separate areas to relax: kitchen diner, living room, dining room, three outdoor seating areas and the summer house. The owners were quick to reply to a query soon after our arrival. Nice welcome pack, including a bottle of prosecco which came in useful on the day we celebrated our youngest son's 21st birthday, and welcome treats for our dog We would recommend, and hope to be able to return.

Perfect location to explore the Peak District, with great local amenities within walking distance. The cottage was perfect, quiet and just what we needed for a great week away. Highly recommended

We had a great stay at Lillegarth. Beautiful location and lovely walks from the door. The cottage was clean and was a little bit bigger than we expected. Communication was great and we would definitely stay here again.
