Quotes from visitors in 2008

Martin, Diane and our dog Roxy.  We all had a good time, could have stayed longer, so much to see and do.  The cottage was lovely and cosy to come back to after our long walks each day.

We loved this well-equipped home from home.  So cosy and warm in a great location.  Wish I could bottle the air here and take if home!

Had a great time, lovely walks, great caves, nice cottage and village.  Local bread shop made a great chocolate cake for Andrew’s birthday.

Where can I start!  This is like a gem in the centre of chaos with all the cities around it.  This area is great and there are lots of wonderful walks right on the doorstep and the weather was great to complete the lovely rambles.

Great location, lovely garden.  Very friendly village.  The week went far too quickly!

The cottage was very cosy and easy to get to most places.  Bread shop excellent especially their filled rolls.  The fish & chip shop has a variety of meals and are very good.  Garden, when sunny, is private and relaxing.  This is a good place to ‘recharge your batteries’.

Lovely cottage that would definitely be recommended.  Charlie (our Labrador) gave the garden 10/10!!  Bradwell village worth a good wander round whilst eating a Bradwell ice cream.

2nd stay at The Croft.  Very comfortable and spacious cottage and we all love the garden.  Enjoyed walking in this beautiful area.

We have really “peaked”, what a great area, as a much travelled family throughout the British Isles it has impressed us greatly.  Great drives Winnats Pass, Snake Pass and Derwent Valley.  Walks abound from the doorstep and the view from the hill you see from the cottage is spectacular and well worth the climb.  Good local pubs.  Also great to just relax in the cottage and it’s garden.

Had a very pleasant stay enjoying the stunning scenery and blest with good weather.  Situation of cottage in ideal area for all amenities.

Great holiday as usual, cottage very cosy.  See you next year.

A second visit for us – such a lovely place to stay – both the cottage itself and the village.   Hope to be back again soon.

Walking is very popular in the hills and valleys all around, with the start of the Pennine Way in nearby Edale.

There are plenty of circular walks in the area ranging in lengths and ability to suit everyone. Off road cycle trails, created from old railway lines, are also available in the area.

The Peak District has good public houses, which serve excellent meals and ale. The village itself has a Co-op Late Shop, Bread Shop, Newsagents and Post Office, Fish & Chip shop and four public houses.

The renowned Bradwell's home made ice cream shop (seasonal opening) and various Pubs which serve meals are all within easy walking distance of the cottage.
