• "The Loft is very clean, comfortable, and well equiped."

  The balcony overlooking the paddock is a bonus, it is so peaceful to sit there with the horses for company. Gill the owner has thought of everything, even down to luxury toiletries and bath robe. Our 3rd visit, definitely be going back again. Great location for walking and exploring the Peak District.

  Close to all the local walking routes and wonderful scenery. Jill was a very helpful and friendly host .The only thing missing was somewhere to wash and dry clothes.

  Thank you Julie for your review. Unfortunately there isn’t room to accommodate a washing machine in the kitchen area. Property Owner

• "We loved staying at The Loft."

  there was a lot of thought and care put into the layout and details to enhance our stay. The view from the balcony was beautiful. Very quiet and peaceful but you need to be a good driver to navigate the tight lanes and reverse only, back down the drive before you can turn. The one thing that was the only huge disappointment was the shower. You either get a small flow of scolding water or a decent flow of tepid to cold water, and after a day's hike you really need a good shower! The couple who run the Loft could not be more thoughtful and kind. Thank you for a lovely stay.

• "It is an absolute pleasure to stay in this lovely property."

  This was our third visit and it did not disappoint. It is clean, warm, comfortable and very well presented. It is also well equipped should you want to cook, however the local pub The Shoulder of Mutton provides a friendly welcome and very tasty food. The property's setting is beautiful just beneath Bradwell Edge, with a balcony overlooking the fields with horses and sheep and also the pretty village houses. The area is perfect for sightseeing, walking or just relaxing. Good communication with the owner.

  Everything worked as it should have. Clearly lots of quality items are used. The welcome pack was appreciated after the journey. Gill was helpful when asked. The views from the veranda were lovely. This was one of the reasons I chose this accommodation. The horses are very friendly. The location is ideal for exploring the Peak District. I would definitely recommend and deserves my 5 stars.

  The location is perfect being situated on the edge of Bradwell and overlooks open fields. The nearest pub is worth a visit and is only a ten minute walk away. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and spent some time catching up with some pencil sketching and watercolour painting. Thank you to Gill for providing such a lovely place to stay.

• "Fabulous accommodation with everything you could possibly need."

  Quiet and comfortable. We loved sitting out on the balcony overlooking Bradwell after a long day's walking. The village of Bradwell was spot on too with a choice of pubs, a chippy, excellent bakery and a co-op. Plenty of buses too into nearby Castleton, Hope and Hathersage (all worth a visit), and can really recommend the bus ride over to Bakewell (all for £2 at present!). Walk the Monsal Trail whilst you're there, especially the section between Monsal Head and Miller's Dale. We parked the car up when we arrived and never moved it till we left. So much great walking on the doorstep. Too many to mention but especially enjoyed Lose Hill and Mam Tor above Castleton, Stanage Edge above Hathersage, and The Limestone Way and Cave Dale above Castleton. Watch out for the paragliders on the hill behind The Loft, we counted 36 one day!

• "Stunning place to stay to unwind and relax."

  Beautiful scenery, quiet surroundings, horses for neighbours which was wonderful and in the middle of all the great places to visit. We highly recommend a Sunday roast at the Shoulder of Mutton pub, a mere 5 minutes walk into the village. A visit to Buxton and Bakewell a must and if you’re an animal lover you must visit Matlock Park Farm, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves there. The Loft is definitely a place we are going back to in the very near future.

  The property is comfortable and the small kitchen is well equipped for self catering. There are many lovely touches from the dvd library through to some board games and even a timetable for the local bus service between Castletown and Bakewell. The loft is near the centre of Bradwell which has a well stocked co-op shop. The owners live in the main house which is across the courtyard so are on hand if required but we had no need to contact them because everything was first class.

The horses in the neighbouring fieldsjust add to the pleasure. I almost don't dare give it such a good rating, in case it becomes so popular I can't get a booking date in future!

• "We are familiar with bradwell village and was greatly disappointed at the access lane congested with neighbours parked cars, wheelie bins kept out on tight steep lanes,not good for guests who do not like poor vision on bends !"

  . The property is equipped but not special the shower is very very poor. The night of our arrival we were kept awake until 3.30am when we contacted the owner , due to a garage door being left open and the wind was slamming it shut. We received no apology for this in fact we never saw the owner during our stay. It would be help to guests to let them know at the same time of key code, that the co-op store in village is under big refurbishment. Also within the accommodation grounds there was serious pot holes ,this property is not ideal for guests who care for their vehicles.

  Thank you for your feedback. The majority of this does not relate to the property therefore, there is nothing for the owner to address. We can confirm that the shower has been checked and was found to be in full working order. Property Owner
