About this property
A delightful, stone-built, end-terrace cottage situated in a quiet backwater of the pretty village of Bradwell, 11 miles from Buxton. The cottage is full of character and charm and retains many original features such as old oak beams and a warm and snug open fire, making this an ideal romantic retreat. Renovated to a high standard, this well-equipped holiday home boasts high quality fittings and lovely furnishings, including a spacious main bedroom with feature fireplace. The property offers lovely views across the village and surrounding fells, as well as excellent walking from the doorstep. The many delights of the Peak District National Park are close by, including the beautiful valley of Edale, which is the start of the Pennine Way, England's first and most famous long-distance footpath, and the famous spa town of Buxton. This is an ideal base for a relaxing holiday at any time of the year.
Set between the Hope Valley and Bradwell Dale, the village of Bradwell is located within the Peak National Park. Bagshawe Cavern - reached by 130 steep steps - sits on the edge of the village and serves as a reminder of its mining history whilst nearby the famous Peak, Blue John, Treak Cliff and Speedwell Caverns are all worth visiting. Also close by is the David Mellor Design Museum, positioned in the village of Hathersage whilst the little picturesque town of Castleton is overlooked by the crumbling Mam Tor, or 'Shivering Mountain'. Bradwell itself provides visitors with a range of shops, pubs and places to eat and makes an excellent base from which to enjoy this fascinating and beautiful part of the country.

Elderbank was very clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly think of. Parking on site was great and it was only a very short walk to local shops/pubs. The property owner kept in touch throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed.

There was a generous welcome pack which helped our holiday start in the right way. The access to the cottage is down small steep steps and the stairs inside are quite steep too which older or less mobile people might find an issue. There is an attached storage area to the cottage which is listed as being suitable to store bikes etc, however access to this for a bike, especially a heavier e-bike is extremely difficult. The only downside to our stay was that we were unable to charge the batteries on our e bikes. We had planned to cycle quite a bit, but there is a notice in the storage area saying that it is illegal to charge electric cars or e-bike batteries, I totally appreciate that electric cars need a specific external charging point and so would be inappropriate and illegal to be charged from a normal supply, but cannot see the logic in not being able to charge the battery on e bikes! However, we stuck to the rules and so our cycling experience was limited.
