Cleverly fitted out and beautifully decorated, it is all that is needed for a cosy autumn stay. Slightly baffled by the heating controls - we ended up replacing the batteries - and then we were snug. Bradwell is ideally located for all the Dark Peak and Hope Valley offer. We even enjoyed the parking challenge this time!

It is small and cosy as stated in the information. It is thoughtfully fitted out with everything you need and was very comfortable. The stairs are steep and might be difficult for some. We also loved the area. Bradwell has a very well stocked Co- op.

Thank you for the welcome package it was greatly appreciated. Will definitely recommend staying here to people. The views from the bedroom window were beautiful to wake up too. And the ceiling Tv in the bedroom was amazing. The bed was so comfortable and had a great nights sleep and the village was lovely and quiet, and had lovely cafe and access to a co-op and the free shuttle bus to Castleton was great.
