• "The property is in a great location, with shops, pubs and cafes within easy walking distance."

  Major attractions such as Chatsworth and Buxton are a relatively short drive away. The cottage is well equipped, has excellent wi-fi, and the heating is very efficient. An ideal base for exploring the Peak District.

  Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry we did not get to meet on this occasion. It sounds like you enjoyed your first visit to the peak district. George and Liz Property Owner

• "Friendly area and hosts were very welcoming letting us know when the property was ready and also dropping by to see if we were all okay."

  Lovely property for family of four and in good location to go off and explore the Peaks. I think it would be useful to have additional instructions on how to get to the parking behind the property as it doesn’t quite come up on sat nav. People though are friendly and point you in the right direction.

  Thank you for your feedback. There are 33 properties on the postcode so a satnav will only get you near. I will review our directions on the sykes site,sent when you get the key code. lovely to meet you and find out about your action packed week. George and Liz Property Owner

• "The cottage was lovely and clean, the added extras of milk and wine in the fridge and biscuits waiting for us on arrival were great."

  The dog bowls, dog towel and dog bed were brilliant to have waiting for us too. The garden was a real bonus for us, we were very lucky with the weather so it was lovely to sit in after a long walk, and we ate outside a couple of evenings too. I hate coming home to lots of holiday washing so for me the washing machine was a real bonus. As for communication with George, he messaged us to say we could check in early, where they kept a fan on the warmer days and generally answered any queries asap. The cottage was perfect for our needs and we would love to stay there again.

  Thank you for your detailed feedback. Mission accomplished when we know you have had a good holiday. We hope you will be able to return with Luna. The barky spaniel! George and Liz Property Owner

• "A fabulous cottage in the centre of Bradwell."

  Everything in the village is close at hand and everyone is very welcoming. The cottage is very well equipped and very much a home from home with everything you could in the kitchen to cook a meal or plate up a takeaway. George and Liz have thought of everything to make the stay very comfortable. we again made use of the bikes provided for a cycle up to Ladybower. Plenty of fabulous walks from the cottage and Castleton is closer than you might think if you walk out towards the cement works (you get a close up of the site on the secure footpath through!) We've already booked our 4th visit to the cottage for 2025!

  Claire/ Jo thank you again for your feedback. We always look forward to seeing our returning customers. Again you have packed a lot into your holiday. We hope you went home refreshed and ready ti face the world. We look forward to seeing you again next year. George and Liz Property Owner

• "Very dusty property and left us cloths and tea towels that looked like they’d been dragged through dirt."

  Main towels smelt musty as well. On the good side good location and a very warm cottage the garden and gated areas were great. But a cottage which is smaller than the photos look and quite a tight fit. For a cottage for 4 the pans weren’t large enough. Overall it could do with a good deep clean. The location was great

  We are both absolutely astonished by your feedback. We maintain a very high standard of cleanliness throughout. Before your visit the cottage was cleaned top to bottom. The linen is fresh and clean on each change over. At no stage have we tried to misrepresent or mislead. I can only suggest people read all the other positive feedback we have had. We provide a warm clean cottage to a high standard. We have no idea why you chose to post such a negative poor response. George and Liz Property Owner

• "What a lovely cottage, furnished & cleaned to a high standard."

  It was probably the best shower we've ever had in a holiday cottage & the bed & sofas were very comfortable. The kitchen had an excellent hob / oven & the fridge & freezer space was more than adequate for a weeks stay. Smart TVs & excellent Wifi throughout made it a home from home. Bradwell has a great fish & chip shop, the Bakehouse with it's Pizza nights & the Co-op meant anything we didn't bring was a very short walk away. The only thing we missed from the description was the fact the garden/courtyard was not directly accessible from the house & access was from the kitchen entrance area which was shared by the neighbours meaning we couldn't just let our dogs out directly from the house into the garden. Would thoroughly recommend this house to anyone.

  Thank you so much for your feedback it means lot to us. I will make it clear in the description regarding the garden. It is not something we can alter. Of course there us the front door leading onto the footpath but this requires a lead! George and Liz Property Owner

  There was milk & wine in the fridge when I arrived & also tea & biscuits. The owner sent me a text on the day of arrival to tell me that the cottage was ready & I could arrive early if I wanted to. Apparently he sent me an email too a few days before but unfortunately I never received it. I also received a text after leaving, thanking me for staying & that, after reading my comments in the guestbook he would be rectifying a couple of things - only to do with kitchen utensils. This all shows that the owners genuinely want you to enjoy your stay & you are not just another "punter". Bradwell itself was a perfect base, having everything you should need for a self-catering break without having to visit major towns & supermarkets. Unless you want to of course. All in all a great place to be based & I would not hesitate to stay at The Dispensary again when I am in the area.

Home Away did nothing but take my money as far as I can see I don't know how it was that I found myself on their website placing the booking with them not you, and I appreciate this was a case of my 'buyer beware' as I didn't know you also place your properties with other agencies Lesson learned, but it left me feeling rather bitter.

• "Really lovely cottage in pretty village well placed to explore this wonderful area."

  Past reports of uncomfortable sofas have resulted in new ones being installed. It seems The Dispensary’s owners act on previous comments and improve this property each time an adverse comment is made. Easy to find, central location close to two pubs, good chippy and useful Co-op pop up store (usual one being upgraded). Highly recommended and good value.

• "Excellent location for visiting the area."

  Very comfortable property. Good facilities within to make it home from home. A Co-op nearby was really useful.

• "Cottage was good but uncomfortable sofas and small garden bur weather cold anyway so didnt get used."

  not impressed with the village it was in, didn't feel we were on holiday as nothing to do on a night unless you drove out of village and when you have been driving all day to visit places it's not what we wanted to do. Rubbish pubs and food in bradwell Wouldn't go back to peak district.

• "Nothing went wrong but; the two small sofas were the most uncomfortable items of furniture I have ever sat on."

  .....the amount of pigeon poo on the front doorstep showed it had not been cleaned in a long while. Also the amount of building work going on in adjoining properties with drilling and banging not six foot from our back door and having to negotiate builders vans etc to get to our parking space just took the edge off our stay.

• "The accommodation is well placed at the centre of the village, handy for shops."

  It's also well placed for walking and lovely places of interest. It took us a little while to find the car parking space.. we had to park at the Co-op and investigate on foot. The cottage is a little dark and I think it would have been a bit claustrophobic if the weather had not been so good, ensuring we could get out. The bulb had gone above the television, meaning it was difficult to see clearly to do my knitting! The seating was not very comfortable.. one of us lay on the bed rather than sitting on a sofa for any length of time. The kitchen was well-equipped, though a cafetiere and a decent bread knife would have been desirable. We're novices with televisions and never did get the one downstairs to work! Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much. We've mentioned the negatives in order to help make the place better, but there were more positives than negatives.
