• "Cottage was a delight."

  We stayed a week and had a very comfortable stay despite some rain at times. It’s in a lovely village in a great location to explore the surrounding areas of Derbyshire. The extra little touches the owner had left were a welcome surprise. It was cosy and warm especially the evenings we lit the open fire. The bed was very comfortable and lots of storage space in the bedroom. We took advantage of the trails into the hills from the cottage and also walked further afield into the hills surrounding Edale, Monsal Head and Bakewell. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Thank you.

• "This was our third stay at Elderbank."

  The cottage is a delight, clean homely and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. There are two pubs that serve food in the village, we ate twice at the old bowling green inn, and the food was lovely. There is a large co-op within walking distance which is handy for food shopping. The surrounding area spoils you for choice when it comes to scenic walks. We have already rebooked. Thanks Katrina for the generous welcome gifts and for providing such wonderful holiday accommodation.

  A very comfortable stay in a lovely quiet village with superb walks from the doorstep. Lots of storage room for bikes and walking equipment.

  Kitchen facilities were very good, all that anyone would need, lounge area very comfortable with modern tv and wifi, bed and bedroom very comfortable. Add this to a very nice village with Co Op store, pub and a lovely walking area nothing at all to complain about. We did phone Katerina the host and owner and she could not have been more helpful.

  When we arrived there was 'fizz' in the fridge, fresh milk and the essentials for a nice hot drink. The cottage was lovely and clean and has great character. Decent furniture, and a reasonably sized bedroom with good hanging space and a nice comfy bed. It was a perfect place for a couple to spend a week (Bradwell has a good Co-op store, a chip shop and decent friendly pubs close by too!)

  In fact, it's the first time we have ever stayed in the same accommodation twice! We were so comfortable, it felt like home as soon as we walked through the door. The lovely little welcome gifts and the thought that has clearly gone into providing everything you could need, makes you feel incredibly special. The location is ideal, with convenience stores only a short walk away - and pubs! We went walking every day and never had to drive far to reach our chosen route. I would certainly recommend this lovely cottage.

• "Perfect in every way!"

  Situated in the pretty village of Bradwell, the cottage is so charming with beams and open fire and a sweet garden to sit out in. It's very peaceful and cosy and ideally located for exploring the Peak District. The owner Katrina left some goodies in the cottage to welcome us, fizz, cookies, milk etc and even choccies by the bed which was lovely and she checked we had everything we needed regularly. The cottage is spotlessly clean with lovely fresh decor and the bed very comfortable. Everything you could possibly need to use during the week is provided, the kitchen is fully equipped and the lounge is comfortable. There are 3 pubs in the village, and the Shoulder of Mutton does good food. There's a village shop/post office and a co-op , a bakery and other amenities. We have thoroughly enjoyed our week spent at Elderbank and will definitely be recommending it to our friends.

• "The cottage was well equipped and charming, and just right for two people."

  Everything was clean and tidy, and worked well. Unusually in our experience of staying in holiday cottages, the broadband was top-notch. It was fast and reliable; much better than the hairy string now-you-see-it-now-you-don't service so prevalent in more rural settings. A particularly nice touch was the 'welcome pack' that the owner left for us to enjoy - much appreciated! We were sufficiently impressed with the cottage and its convenient location that we expect that we'll be back in the not too distant future for another stay.

  Nice quiet Christmas stay for us. Just about everything provided that you are likely to need, plus more which left very little space for food storage. A bit of rearrangement needed to facilitate this. Plenty of information available on places of interest within the area with maps and walks a plenty, if this is your thing. (Note to owner- if it’s possible to swap the doors on the fridge freezer, to open the other way it would give better access to the fridge behind the kitchen door.

• "Elderbank is compact but beautifully appointed, furnished to a high standard and was very well equipped."

  The only criticism was the lack of information on the area, such as places to visit and suggestions for walks. In all other holiday cottages we have stayed in, whether in the UK or abroad, literature covering such topics, has been available. Otherwise we were very happy with our stay.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. With regard to information on local attractions etc, any leaflets or printed material we had was removed in accordance with Covid-19 guidelines. Laminated information was left in place for details on the property itself as this can be easily wiped down but other details were removed and our advice now would be to search local information online, especially as details for local attractions and businesses have been so changeable this past year; some may have closed and others have different opening times so we would advise to check online for up to date details. Thanks again for your comments. Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage with everything you could wish for."

  Katrina was very attentive without being intrusive. Weather during my stay was not great so could not see so much of the Peak District as I would have liked. Nowhere too busy during the week, because of the weather ? However on the Sunday when the weather wasn't too bad everywhere was very crowded and car parks were full. Only change I would make would be to change the layout of the hardstanding for parking with 'grasscrete' or similar, as at the moment the easiest way to to exit is to back down the road onto the street.

  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!
