Self-Catering Broadwood Farm in Peak District National Park

Documentation and correspondence before arrival were all excellent.. The house is in a lovely position, overlooking the valley and with a couple of nice walks into Hathersage. The rooms are spacious and mostly well-equipped. Hathersage has reasonable facilities, though we made one call into Chapel for food stock-up. Though the house is on a busy main road, we got used to the traffic noise. An afternoon sitting on the terrace might be tiresome though. Other little problems: The parking space is difficult to manoeuvre out of. The barn should have just one space allocated. The barn occupants parked a long car just inside the gateway, making exit tricky. We noted that a previous occupant had damaged his car badly on the gate post. We found both the Aga and conventional oven difficult to control; the random collection of pans were not graded well when catering for nine (only one big pan). There were good pub options (Plough, Bank House) and Maazi delivered good Indian takeaway. Overall: we really enjoyed the week.

Wonderful cottage in a brilliant location.. Had everything we needed for our stay! Lovely welcome gifts left which was a nice touch. Views to die for! Staying here is a must if visiting Derbyshire!

It’s situated a short distance from the village but wasn’t a problem.. The cottage is beautifull, well furnished, large corner settee (seated 7 comfortably) well equipped kitchen. Fabulous walks. Would definitely recommend.

Broadwood farm was an amazing place to stay.. 8 of us stayed and everyone was very happy with the size of all the rooms and everyone said how comfy the beds were. The amount of space is excellent and it didn't feel crowded. The heating and fires were easy to work. The garden area was amazing and the views were outstanding. The cottage is walking distance from a pub and many walks which also offer great views. Hathersage is also just around the corner.

Lovely cottage with great views and plenty of walks from the door .. Facilities in the property are good. We had plenty of space four 7 adults 1 infant and 2 dogs. Would love to go again in the warmer months

Broadwood is a really stunning place in a very beautiful setting.. It had all we wanted and more - the warmth + welcome of a farmhouse but with first rate modern facilities. The detailed information that the owners provided beforehand together with their generous welcome pack and the efficient back up of the local staff was faultless. The attention to detail was amazing - torches provided at the entrance + on the landing sockets - great in an unfamiliar building! This area is full of interesting things to see + do - great places to eat and were lucky enough to have good weather too! We felt very well taken care of and have enjoyed our family reunion here so much that we will be rebooking.

Absolutely beautiful location and the facilities were fantastic.. It was nice that there were 4 good sized double bedrooms and there was room to play outside for our little boy. It was clean and tidy and well resourced. Fantastic communication throughout also. The views were the highlight, however.

Info from Sykes was helpful and accurate .. Info from owners was also very helpful and accommodation was very clean and welcoming along with goodies left for us. We loved the area and will come again.

The property is in an idyllic location with great views all around.. You can walk into Hathersage village, which is a great place to spend time. Other places of interest are only a short journey away and there are plenty of good eating establishments nearby. An ideal property for 3 generations of the family to spend quality time together. There are plenty of books and DVDs for guests to use. It is a spacious property, enabling the different generations to have their own space. There is a well equipped kitchen and utility room, the bedrooms are very spacious with comfortable beds and all bed linen and towels were of high quality. The family bathroom was lovely, possibly recently modernised and the ensuite was quite adequate for our needs. High chairs were available but we hadn’t realised travel cots were too. (We had bought our own) We had to ask for a stair gate as there wasn’t one in the property and with two toddlers it was a necessity but one was delivered the morning after we arrived. There are different levels in the house and garden which could make it difficult for young children, elderly people or anyone with mobility problems. The garden furniture was a bit wobbly but the children loved the hidden sand pit and the swings ! There were quite a few cobwebs throughout the property especially in the utility/larder area and the non slip bath mat was too mouldy so we didn’t use it. Whilst we appreciated the Welcome Basket, we were rather disappointed that the milk sachets curdled in our drinks but once we realised they were actually out of date, we threw all of them away ! We would certainly recommend this property.

The property is for 8 but the garden furniture only seats 4 and is such a wobbly table, badly maintained, that you can’t safely eat at it as it toppled when someone gets up.. The detail we were sent suggests there was much more seating but we couldn’t find it. What a shame when we had lovely weather!! Also the barrier that separates the path to the second home is not secure- our large dog could get under it, as could a young child. Lastly we had no bin collection info so didn’t know what bin to use and when it would be emptied! The info that was emailed the night before our holiday should be left in house as a hard copy as we didn’t print it off. This would have helped a lot!

We had a lovely holiday in the cottage.. It was spacious, comfortable and had an amazing view over the fields. It is well located near to the village of Hathersage with nice butchers, bakers, fruit and veg shop and a few outdoor shops. Definitely recommend it. It was great for our little girl as there was a high chair, bath mat, changing mat all provided and a great sandpit table in the garden. There were just a few things that we were a bit disappointed with. It wasn’t clear from any of the pictures or description that the cottage was right on the road with cars, lorries, buses going by. There is also a train track at the bottom of the hill. It wasn’t quite the cottage in the middle of nowhere that the pictures implied. That said, the amazing view does make up for it and, if you are used to a bit of road noise where you live, then this probably wouldn’t bother you. Our toddler loved watching the trains! A few things needed a bit of attention, like the back door wouldn’t close/lock property, downstairs toilet was in the process of being done up so had unpainted walls etc. All of the kitchen cupboards were a bit of a mess with pans thrown in and we had to wash all cups, glasses, plates etc. before we could use anything. Think the dishwasher just needed some rinse aid which we bought, as it clearly wasn’t washing things properly. There were also quite a few cracked and chipped items which needed putting in the bin. Don’t want to put people off staying here through as the cottage really was lovely and it looked like they are in the process of doing things up where needed. Just a bit more attention to kitchen cleaning and that would solve the issues. As I said, the view couldn’t be better and this is a great value cottage in a perfect area of the Peaks.

Above standard cottage with high quality fittings and finish.. Real joy to stay with friends, baby and dogs. Attention to detail in every aspect. Love the aga and two log burners. All bedrooms good size and lots of space downstairs. Outside enclosed area for kids and separate enclosed area for the dogs. Easy walk to pubs and town. Great work thanks.

We enjoyed our break.. The welcome pack was great so we could settle in quickly and the location was easy to get to a number of day trips. Parking is tight, especially if the other property is in use, so people should be prepared to park across the main road if needs be. It is a nice homely property and our family felt very comfortable there.
