"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.
-
"This was a very peaceful and cosy holiday home in a quiet village which had all the facilities we needed."
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

"Excellent relaxing stay we will be back"

"Beautiful, well presented accommodation had everything we could have needed."
Loved the balcony, sitting watching the horses and enjoying the gorgeous views. Well placed for walking and exploring the area. We will be back. Thank you.

"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.

"A lovely, cosy, peaceful space."
Great location in the heart of The Peaks. Our second stay and I am sure we’ll be back!
-
"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.
-
"Ideal place for us."
Comfortable and, in the best sense, uncluttered. Thank you.
-
"We had a lovely 2nd stay at 'The Loft'."

"The Loft is an excellent Home from Home."
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.
-
"This little gem is a place we come back to over and over again."
It has everything you need for a great stay and it’s the perfect place to return to after a days walking . The location is perfect to get to all the local places of interest or just walking from the door.
-
"Excellent property to stay in would highly recommend it"

The Loft offered all we needed for a pleasant stay in the Peak District, it was very quiet and central for walking and visiting the larger towns
-
"The Loft has everything you want for a short break, it’s well equipped and has the benefit of a balcony which is a great place to sit and just take in the scenery."
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. Past visitors have said they would return, maybe I will too. June 19th to 23rd Gerry

"Excellent accommodation ,everything we needed for a really enjoyable 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.
-
"This was a lovely location and nice, well provisioned accommodation."
-
"We had a lovely stay at the Loft."
The place was clean and comfortable, and had a lovely view across the fields from the balcony. It had a nice shower and all amenities for cooking if needed. The owner was friendly and approachable. Convenient location for a walk down to the pub or for driving further afield. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
-
"Fabulous property, very peaceful and scenic."
This was our second visit, and it did not disappoint. The accommodation is very well appointed, clean and very comfortable. The balcony overlooking the fields and village is a real bonus it is a wonderful spot to watch the antics of the animals in the field, no matter what time of day. The village caters for all needs, very warm welcome at the Shoulder of Mutton who serve delicious food following our walks. We have already booked again for next year. A big thank you to our hosts,Gill, and her family for the warm welcome and treats. Elaine and Steve
Thank you Elaine for your review and for booking a third time, I really appreciate it and the lovely Easter eggs for my grandchildren. Property Owner

"This was our third break at the Loft."
We had a relaxing time while being entertained by the livestock in the nearby fields. The hosts, Gill and Alan, were very helpful if needed. The Bakehouse in the village sold excellent pies, cakes, etc. The fish and chip shop was good as was the local co-op. Would definitely recommend the Loft.
-
"Tricky to find, perhaps Whatthreewords listed in the directions may safe unwanted calls to the owner?"
! Otherwise, excellent for cleanliness, comfort and lots of thoughtful touches. Perfectly located for hiking on Kinder Scout and visiting Chatsworth House. Buxton nearby and worth a look around too. The loft was quiet and Bradwell itself has everything you could want. Great circular walk taking in Rebellion Ridge too. Highly recommended.
-
"Excellent accommodation, very comfortable and convenient for the mid peak district; would like to book again for next year."

It was very comfortable and well equipped and balcony was a very nice place to sit and relax. The owners friendly and helpful . Hoping to return.

"Well appointed , equipped and comfortable accommodation that facilitated a relaxing break in a perfect location"
-
"The loft was the perfect base for our easy-walking holiday."
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.
-
"I love the Loft: this is my 3rd stay here, and it always provides a spacious, comfortable, and peaceful base from which to base my breaks in the Peak District."
The facilities are all that I need, and the views from the balcony immediately take away any leftover worries from everyday "real" life. 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!
-
"Lovely little cottage/loft with everything you need"
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Loft, perfect setting in a delightful village."
The apartment was extremely well equipped, clean and warm, the added bonus was the lovely balcony on which to enjoy the countryside views, horses, sheep and of course a glass of wine! The stay exceeded our expectations.Thank you to our Host, Gill, who was very friendly and welcoming. Very good local pub nearby (Shoulder Of Mutton) friendly welcome and tasty food. We will definitely be returning. Elaine and Steve

"Great Location, very clean and had everything we required for a relaxing 3 day break"
-
"Lovely loft exactly as advertised."
Extremely well equipped & comfortable. Would not hesitate to recommend.
-
"Warm and comfortable, everything we needed for a week's stay in December."
At the right time of year, the balcony would be a lovely spot to sit in the sun, which it would get throughout the day - great view of the nearby hills and the animals in the surrounding fields.
-
"This place is a little gem, beautifully set out and the little extras are much appreciated."
Great place for walking from the door and close to so many Derbyshire attractions it’s a must have place on your list of places to stay
-
"The Loft is well situated not far from local facilities."
The Bakehouse in Bradwell sells delicious cakes and pastries. The apartment is self contained with the owners living next door. There is a balcony where you can enjoy an aperitif while watching the horses and sheep in the adjoining field. We can’t recommend this apartment highly enough. In fact, we booked The Loft for next year immediately upon our return.
-
"So comfortable and welcoming, spotlessly clean."

"A beautiful setting for a cosy little studio."
We had a lovely time, arrived with milk in the fridge, tea and coffee which helped as we got there quite late! Very descriptive instructions to get there because it's actually right next to their house. Comfy bed and furniture and very warm. Thank you for having us, really enjoyed it!
-
"I had a very relaxing and restful Christmas break at the Loft and thoroughly enjoyed my second Christmas there."
The owners were on hand if you needed them for anything, very friendly, helpful and welcoming. It was beautifully and tastefully decorated for Christmas and had everything you could possibly need. The Loft truly is a quiet and peaceful retreat surrounded by spectacular scenery. I've loved my time there and would highly recommend staying at this stunning property.

"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

-
"A great studio apartment in a lovely village."
Clean comfortable. Balcony a welcome addition. Ideal for walking and visiting attractions in area.
-
"Our second visit, Gill and her family are very friendly and helpful, they are on hand if needed but the accommodation is totally separate from there house."
The accommodation is very comfortable and clean, we love the balcony and were able to sit out and enjoy the company of Norman the horse. It is easy to walk into the village for the pubs and fish and chip shop and the local co-op, all the people are friendly, we will be returning again next year.

"Instead of written directions ,which in our opinion was not clear enough, please ..."
Instead of written directions ,which in our opinion was not clear enough, please provide a map on how to find the loft, as we struggled to follow directions given , the loft is an amazing place to stay, very peaceful and quite, with views second to none ,

"Lovely friendly village"
-
"A very easy to manage cottage,."
Cosy, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Very well equipped. Set in beautiful surroundings. Peaceful, but within easy walking distance of local shops etc., including a well-stocked Co-op, Village shop and a bakery. Many excellent walks in the area, from short (3/4 miles) to long distance (10/15 miles) and some good climbs (Win Hill, Lose Hill, Mam Tor, Abne Moor, etc). Cottage has an excellent shower and a south facing balcony to relax on in the sun, whilst watching the horses, sheep and lambs in the adjacent fields.
-

"Excellent holiday let equipped to a very high standard and in a really pleasant farm location."
Bradwell has some pretty walks, is conveniently located to many of the more "tourist" destinations and has several pubs in the town that serve good beer and food.
-
"Had a thoroughly enjoyable stay."
Lovely surroundings and comfortable and well equipped apartment.Pleasantly surprised to find a pint of milk in fridge on arrival ( a little thing but very welcome nonetheless!) Slight issue with the key box code as l could not contact the owner prior to my arrival, fortunately l happened to come across a relative who helped me but, had she not been around l would have been stuck. Otherwise, had a lovely stay and would certainly stay there again....
-

"Great location, very quiet and relaxing very easy to relax and make yourself feel at home"
-
"Enjoyed a lovely cozy week at The Loft."
A perfect base for exploring the key Peak District hills being so close to the Hope Valley. The cottage was peaceful and quiet and just what I needed for a relaxing week. It would be perfect for couples. There’s a lovely veranda, comfortable furniture and a well equipped clean kitchen. The shower room was ideal and the heating worked very quickly. The property was well maintained and very clean. I’m looking forward to coming back next year!
-
"This 4 night break was wonderful in every respect."
Booking through Sykes is so easy and efficient. The Loft is a lovely cosy, comfortable studio apartment in a beautiful location. It had everything we could have wanted and was so comfortable and warm. We were lucky with the weather which was frosts at night and 14 degrees by day in February! The area is fantastic with some of the greatest walks in the country. We will being going back!!
-
"The loft is really cosy & comfortable."
Everything has been done to a very high standard & we looked forward to returning to the loft after a day out. The decor is lovely, the colour scheme is very tasteful, the towels are huge & fluffy, the crockery is really pretty, everything has been well thought out. It is a relatively small space but has been perfectly planned with a delightful kitchen/diner area & excellent wet room. We are hoping to visit another of the properties in the future.
-

"My second visit to The Loft."
They say you shouldn't go back, but I'm very glad that I did: a clean, comfortable accommodation, that manages to be both compact and spacious, with great views. Bradwell is a lovely village with decent facilities (including three very good pubs) and friendly people - and perfectly positioned for everything that the Peak District has to offer.
-

"The Loft is a spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped apartment, with lovely views - one of the very best such holiday accommodations that I have ever stayed in."
Bradwell is a quiet village, with all essential amenities; the centre of many excellent walks and five minutes' drive from Castleton and the caverns. Staely Homes, market towns, and many other natural and cultural attractions are all within a half-hour drive. I greatly enjoyed my stay in The Loft and highly recommend it.
-
"A very nice relaxing place to stay with beautiful scenery."
-
"The Loft at Bradwell in the Peak District was fabulous."
If you are looking for total peace and quiet overlooking the fields in a small, cosy, first floor studio apartment with even a balcony, table and chairs, this is for you! The fittings and furniture were high quality and it was tastefully decorated with everything you could possibly need. Although small, there was plenty of definition between the sleeping, watching telly and kitchen area with a fab walk in power shower. It was private and only a stones throw to the village with its pubs serving gorgeous food and a few shops. Ideal for walkers but we just wanted peace and quiet after a hectic Christmas. Couldn't have been nicer and the weather was great too.
-
"When we walked into The Loft it gave us the WOW factor everything you would wish for clean comfortable & all you need with brilliant views & as for the veranda again WOW you could not wish for anything more."
Ideally situated in Bradwell for plenty of local walks, bus stops to Castleton & Bakewell also good pubs in Bradwell village we will return.
