We arrived at Elderbank cottage on the 23rd December it being the 1st time we had celebrated away from home. We arrived to Christmas decos all alight which was so welcoming. It was so warm and cosy. There were loads of complementary drink and goodies. The owner kept in touch to make sure everything was good and we were happy which we thought was very nice to have the personal touch. We fell in love with the cottage and village which is ideal if you like walking, you also have a car parking space which is a bonus in Bradwell. We will definitely book again. Other reviews said about the kitchen being small but there is plenty of worktop space so it wasn't a problem

Just returned from staying at Elder Bank cottage in Bradwell.. Perfect base from which to explore the Peak District. We had a great week!
Mr Woodward, October 2020

We loved Bradwell.. Very central for walks around the peaks. The cottage was very cosy and well equipped. The only negative thing we have to mention is the oven. The hobs were fine but the grill and oven took ages to cook.
Mrs Gorton, August 2020

Lovely cottage in a pretty village, all the comforts of home.. Nice welcoming gifts by the owner which was enjoyed
Mr Moore, September 2020

Our first visit to the Peak District and Elderbank was perfect, gets a 10 out of 10 from us! A pretty traditional cottage in a lovely quiet location, with very short walking distance to the local shops and pubs. The parking space was definitely a bonus. Katerina, the owner, was super helpful, and the house was spotlessly clean on arrival. For a small cottage it was really well equipped and we appreciated all the extras like coffee, biscuits and Prosecco! There were lots of additional useful items like tissues, hand sanitizers and wipes etc. The village itself is a great base for exploring the area, and we made use of the local bus service to Castleton which was handy. Bradwell is super hilly beyond the main road through it, very beautiful and interesting and well worth exploring all the side and back streets. We could have easily stayed for another week and would love to come back again - thank you!

The dark Peak District is beautiful in any weather.. People in this part of the world are lovely. The cottage has everything you need for two people. The kitchen is smaller than it looks on the photos but it’s well kitted out with quality. The host was helpful and not intrusive. A nice little welcome pack was thoughtful. The village has nice pubs and you’re close to lots of great places to walk. We had a great week in pretty dodgy weather. The fire really came into its own.

We stayed here the first week that restrictions were lifted and had a much needed holiday. The owner contacted us before hand to go over what we needed to know and answer any questions which was very reassuring. The cottage itself was perfect:. Just right for two people with everything you could want in there. We were left a bottle of prosecco, some yummy biscuits, chocolates in the bedroom and even pocket packs of tissues and hand sanitiser wipes. Everything was spotlessly clean and of super quality. The village itself was very nice with four local pubs including the White Hart just a couple of minutes from the cottage and The Bowling Green Inn about 5 minutes away. Both were very friendly and welcoming with clear anti-virus measures in place. We ate from both the village chip shop and the curry house in Hope, both were nice. We also had a lunch at The Castle in Castleton, again, excellent food and service. I thoroughly recommend staying at Elderbank, the owners have clearly gone to a lot of trouble to make your stay a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Lovely cottage which we have stayed in before.. All very clean and well cared for. Great location for walking in the Peaks and seeing our family in Sheffield. A great place for resting and recovering with a log fire and friendly people in the village. We will hopefully be returning in a few months time.

January 2019
Lovely sweet,cozy cottage, great fireplace! Location was great for country side walks, and we had no problem finding the local pubs.The place was indeed very small, but pretty much had almost everything you needed for a little getaway. It looks like it was recently renovated, as well, nice couches, beautiful cabinets in the kitchen. It was completely immaculate upon arrival. Our host Katrina left us a stellar bottle of wine, which was so appreciated! She also offered the cottage a few hours earlier than we expected, and texted us about some potential slippery weather. Only wish we could of enjoyed coffee in the garden, I bet it's lovely out there in the springtime! Thanks for a lovely stay! Brenda and Jason

Arrived at the cottage on 21st Dec -29th Dec 2018 .. The cottage was beautifully presented, cosy, very well equipped, clean and a few Christmas touches. A box of chocolates and a bottle of wine were waiting for us. The village of Bradwell, set in the hills of Derbyshire, was Beautifull and was well served by good pubs and shops. We visited Chatsworth, all decorated up for Christmas, the theme being children’s fairy stories, it was magical. What could be better than spending Christmas around an open fire in a lovely cottage.
Mr Lilley
September 2018
Bradwell is a perfect location for us.. We could choose good walks everyday without having to use the car. It was very reassuring to know we had a warm comfy cottage to return to. It is also very important to us that “no pets” cottages of this quality are available to us in such a wonderful location.
Mr Weaving
June 2018
Lovely place, Very clean with easy parking.. Welcome gifts very welcome, would have liked to light the open fire but it was a bit too warm for that. Great fish & chip shop down the road and a handy little Co-op. Good base position for exploring and although we did not need it there was a lot of space for storing bikes etc. Will look to book again when visiting the area.
Mrs Carmody
June 2018
A lovely village friendly with 3 pubs a super! Market fish and chip takeaway and an icecream shop. The cottage is peaceful with a little garden to sit out in . Great walls within easy reach.

Elder Bank is a lovely little cottage, we really enjoyed our stay there and plan to come back later this year for a longer stay. I would highly recommend this cottage not only because of it's fantastic condition and décor inside, but it's great location with everything you need near by. All in all a great base for exploring The Peak District.
Mrs Bowerman
April 2016
The cottage was perfect for 2 - warm cosy and stylish, but also very well equipped and quiet. The location was good too - both within the village with local shop, and more widely with wonderful countryside and walks on the doorstep.

Elder Bank was lovely and exceeded expectations. As we went in October, we appreciated the warmth, especially the coal fire, it was very cosy in the evenings. Ideally situated in Bradwell for walking and exploring the Peak District. The surrounding area was beautiful, ideal for walking and exploring. Pretty villages and plenty of pubs and tea shops.

Elder Bank was located in a beautiful part of the high Peak District. Lovely friendly village. Fantastic fish and chip shop best in area. Lovely pubs and plenty of them. Good base for our exploration of the Pennine Way so we could have long walking days and plenty of luxury in the evenings. Friendly owner - on hand and helpful. Great to have an open fire for chillier evenings. Altogether very relaxing and restoring.

Lovely very clean, comfortable, well equipt cottage, in a very friendly village. Not really suitable for anyone a bit unsteady on their legs as steps to cottage are a bit steep, as are the stairs inside.

We enjoyed our week at Elder Bank, the cottage was spotlessly clean, and the owners had thought of everything. Would recommend the cottage and area, our first time in the Peak District.
Mrs Final
December 2013
This was the most perfect property we could have selected. We were looking for a romantic hideaway for a few days of home-away from home comfort, surrounded by beautiful countryside and we couldn't have chosen a better place. From the welcoming bottle of wine and glasses awaiting our arrival to ample fire fuel, and a very clean comfortable and cosy property overall, we were very happy with our stay. I would wholly recommend this property to any couple who seek a few days of pure relaxation.
Mr Orban
November 2013
Elder Bank cottage was ideally located for our walking holiday in the Hope Valley and surrounding area, so many walks close by. The cottage was wonderfully equipped, and furnished and very comfortable. The allocated parking space was a great feature of the cottage. Bradwell has 3 pubs that serve good food, all within a couple of minutes walk from the cottage, although The Samuel Fox is more of a restaurant than a pub, serving excellent food, the best in the village, in my opinion.
Mrs Gaymer
September 2013
The cottage was very central, we wanted a walking holiday without having to keep going out in the car, and this cottage was ideal. The scenery was wonderful, and the local people so friendly. Perfect, 5 star accommodation.
Ms Grimley

Elder Bank cottage is one of the very best we have stayed in. We particularly enjoyed the restful atmosphere, and the fact that it is so conveniently located for shops, pubs etc, whilst still being very quiet and peaceful. The location is excellent for walking and for visiting local beauty spots and places of interest. The owner was welcoming and friendly. We would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a quiet rural holiday.

Elder Bank turned out to be everything as stated in the brochure and more. The accomodation and location were superb. The package of "essential" groceries was very welcoming on arrival, as was the brilliant amount of local information. We throughly enjoyed the may walks and superb scenery we experienced. Everything about this holiday was excellent.

Mrs Gibson
June 2011
My husband and I have been to Elder Bank before. The owners are lovely hosts and always leave a welcome tray. We love the fact that we can walk out from the cottage without having to use the car. We also find the people of Bradwell friendly and helpful. Plenty of places to visit close by if you are not walkers. The opening of the railway tunnels has made the area around Monsal Dale and the surrounding areas very popular.
Mr Paice
June 2011
The property is comfortable, individual, well-equipped and idyllically set, and - even at a non-rock-bottom rental - there is a real feeling about it of 'value for money'. The owners show a genuine sensitivity and intelligence in the way they present and prepare the property. Excellent in every way.
Mrs Hall

We were delighted with the quality of this lovely little cottage. The open fire was a real bonus and it seemed that everything had been thought of to make our stay comfortable. The owners were friendly and helpful but unobtrusive and we had a great time in the local pub where there was a quiz night, a band and a great welcoming atmosphere! We thoroughly enjoyed our romantic Christmas break and would definitely like to return.
Mr Phillips
December 2010
The location was excellent, within easy access of walks and amenities. The cottage itself was idyllic, homely, clean and of a very high standard. We particularly enjoyed the open fire, very welcoming on a cold winter night. We would stay there again without hesitation and hope to do so again in the very near future. It was all we had hoped it would be and more.

My husband and I have just come back from a three night stay at Elder Bank Cottage in Derbyshire and all I can say is "wow!" As it was our first wedding anniversary, and we live in London, we wanted to go somewhere that had beautiful surroundings and a real cottage feel. And it was just that. The cottage is small but beautifully decorated. Everything was clean (exactly how it looks in the pictures!) and it has an open fire. We couldn't recommend this place highly enough. It is total value for money and very much worth a visit.

This is a lovely little cottage in a quite, unspoit village in the heart of Derbyshire. Although quite small, the house has been beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. It was warm and very comfortable and the additional small Christmas 'welcome' items was a lovely touch. We really enjoyed our stay there over Christmas. thankyou.

The booking service received from Sykes Cottages was excellant and the cottage was well prepared and serviced by the owner. The cottage had all the amenities we could have asked for. Bradwell as a location is ideal to explore this lovely part of the country but also close enough to Sheffield for a visit if so desired. Bradwell is also well served with bakery, post office/newsagent, supermarket, pub/restaurants and of course the Bradwell ice cream shop!

The cottage really was excellent -although the owners only lived 100metres away, we never had cause to contact them about anything after the directions and key allocation were sorted on the phone. The only concern now is how any other cottage will compare in the future! We felt the cottage was a home from home, and with the information leaflets left by the owners about local interests, we had a very full week.

This is a lovely cottage - nicely furnished and decorated and much thought and care has gone into it. We were very comfortable and were sorry to leave. We'd certainly like to go back there.

A lovely property, a great location. Away from but close enough to the tourist bits. Two lovely pubs nearby. Our favourite being the Old Bowling Green.

This is a wonderful cottage. I think it's fair to say that this is the best cottage that I have stayed in. A wonderful, warm, cosy and homely cottage. Good clear directions. The property was immaculately clean and arriving to a pint of milk in the fridge and a ready laid fire was exactly what we needed after a 4 hour drive. I would recommend this cottage without hesitation.

The cottage was superb and the location was excellent - very quiet but in the middle of a village which had plenty of amenities. We wanted for nothing!

It is a wonderful little cottage with lovely welcoming bottle of red wine,biscuits and flowers. Plenty of things to do such as walking, cycling etc.
Mr Woodgate

Property ideally situated close to the most interesting parts of the Peak District. As well as the property being of the highest standard, the owners added a number of most thoughtful 'extras', including fresh flowers, a bottle of wine, a bottle of milk and a packet of fancy biscuits! Elder Cottage really felt like a home from home, and we very sorry to have to leave at the end of the week.

An excellent property for discovering the area, excellent location with all the facilities in the cottage you need. The little 'extras' provided by the owner were indeed a generous gesture and very welcome.

Excellent cottage, superbly equiped with everything we could need. (Including a bottle of wine on our arrival!) A great location to explore the Peak District from.
Mr Wathen

A very warm welcome. Cottage very well fitted and kitted. Some unexpected but welcomed touches such as a charged torch ready to use, every kitchen implement that could be needed , though stored away in minimalistic manner, thus very tidy appearance. 10/10. Very cosy during snowy weather!

What a fantastic cottage! The whole experience was fantastic, the booking service, greeting and directions excellent and also great value for money. The cottage itself was beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. The owners were lovely and gave us a lovely warm welcome. The location was stunning and we felt very much at home. Would definitely come back.
