  • "Fantastic. We had a brilliant stay @ Brookside Barn, it was really warm and comfortable and very clean."

    Jenny and Andrew are lovely hosts who wanted to ensure we was warm and had everything we needed. 5* can't recommend Brookside Barn enough.

  • "A very well equipped and comfortable cottage in a lovely village setting."

    It was warm and cosy, the bed was comfortable, and there was everything you could need for a super holiday. The owners were very helpful and friendly without being intrusive, even lending de-icer for the car on our last morning. The village is great as it is not too touristy, but had three pubs, a coffee shop, and chippy and a well equipped Co-op (even a wool shop!). We had some lovely walks in the area and visited Castleton, and Derwentwater as well as the Bakewell Christmas market (get there early!). We had a wonderful relaxing break and I would highly recommend this cottage.

    Very comfortable and well equipped. Away from the main road but within walking distance to all of Bradwell's amenities. Only a few miles to numerous lovely Peak District walks - you are spoilt for choice. The owners who live next door are very helpful. This was our fourth visit and we will be back again soon.

  • "Wow wow wow this is the highest quality cottage stay we’ve ever had at such an affordable price."

    The house was spotless (not even a spec of dust to be found!) and had everything we needed. Jane and Andrew, the hosts, who live next door were not obtrusive in anyway but knowing that we could call on them if needed was a comfort. The lack of garden space for the dog was not an issue because of the walks close at hand although our dog couldn’t understand why she couldn’t go into the playground opposite the house where dogs are prohibited. There was nothing to fault this stay and we highly recommended it to others.

    Love the cottage and love the village of Bradwell. Our hosts Jane and Andrew were really informative and welcoming and their welcome gifts were a lovely touch, the scones were super. Nice meals at the local Shoulder of Mutton and Brook Cafe does a nice coffee and great selection of cakes. So much to do in the vicinity. Longshaw Estate is one not to miss, it's Padley Gorge walk to Grindleford is a must and the size of the chip butties at Grindleford Station Cafe are unbelievable. We'll certainly be back for another stay in the not too distant future.

  • "The only comment we would make is that there was not a garden or any outside area that was secure."

    This cottage is publicised as pet friendly, but we couldn't leave our dog outside unattended and the park outside did not allow dogs. Also the church tower chimes every 15 minutes and started at 5 am. Otherwise a lovely cottage in a good location.

    Many thanks for your feedback. We do happily accept pets in the properly but we do not advise an enclosed garden, the patio area is as seen in the photos. However, there are a number of pet friendly walks within a minute from the property where dogs can run freely. The park across the road is a child friendly park. We are pleased you loved the cottage.

    . There was a box of leaflets and print outs on walks in the area which was handy and I recommend the Bradwell walk which literally starts opposite the cottage! The co op was a life saver on Sunday evening when none of the pubs served food! The friendly host lives next door and she popped round once to check all was ok. All in all, a very pleasant trip!

The property

A really lovely conversion of a stone semi-detached outbuilding in the heart of Bradwell in the Hope Valley situated next to the owner's home.

The barn was once used as a coach house and an interesting exterior feature is the restored brass fuel pump.

As the cottage is in the centre of the village, just across from the village green and park, it's equally suitable for a group of friends or a small family.

On the first floor the twin and king size bedrooms are comfortably and tastefully furnished.

The bathroom is equipped with a luxurious dual overhead and hand set shower unit.

The ground floor features a well-appointed kitchen diner equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge with small freezer compartment, microwave and gas hob with electric fan oven.

The cosy sitting room with its traditional decor and convenience of a living-flame gas stove, is the perfect place to relax.

The property has gas central heating in all rooms.

A small area outside the front door with a bistro set is a great place to take in the evening air and people watch to the backing soundtrack of the babbling brook.

If the kids still have gas in their tanks, there's a play area within sight just across the way.

From the cottage itself there are impressive views of Bradwell Edge and a host of interesting walks around the local area.

The park opposite the barn there is a very pleasant open-air café open Thursday - Sunday all year round serving fabulous home made cakes.

Bradwell village offers the convenience of three pubs which all serve appetising food.

For your self-catering needs there is a local supermarket, Post Office, bakery, fish and chip shop!

Slightly further afield you can potter around the historic market town of Bakewell, or the spa town of Buxton, renowned for its spring water, opera house and arts, jazz and opera festivals.

It is easy to spend a whole day at Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, with many historic properties nearby.

Whatever time of year you jump on board, this cottage is just the ticket.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
