What our customers say about their holidays

  This is a very good property, and the space is great.

  It was well-positioned in the centre of Buxton, easy to park two cars, and extremely comfortable except for one bedroom (hence losing one mark). The house is very well equipped. It was easy to park, and Morrisons is only a walk away. You could have a good holiday here without a car, as everything is so close. Of the three double bedrooms, one has the boiler in, with a sign to not switch it off. However, having the boiler on meant the room roasted, and was extremely difficult to sleep in. Also, the boiler timer ticked incessantly all night, and anyone switching a tap on made a very loud noise in the pipes in that room. You could also hear any noise in the room below from there. My son and his wife who were in the room did switch the boiler off so they could sleep, which meant we had no hot water to shower in the morning until he woke up and we could switch it on again. Inside the house was very clean. However, outside, the gate to the neighbour's back yard was broken and off its hinges (and we had a dog with us), and the passage between the two houses was scruffy, particularly compared to others in the row, with broken slates, etc. on the ground (hence one mark off for cleanliness). Overall, we were very pleased with our stay, which we felt was better than our expectations.

  This is a total one-off, quirky gem of a holiday cottage.

  We loved the cosiness and appreciated the thought that had gone into fitting so much into such a small place. It worked perfectly for us and our small dog. We loved the decor, the comfortable bed, the warm shower and the well equipped kitchen. We are not used to such huge TVs or to streaming services, so probably did not make full use of these. The fast broadband/wifi was appreciated. I would have given five stars across the board, but there were just a few things that did not work or were missing, in particular the hooks for the outdoor seating shelf. This would have been lovely on a sunny evening, so we were disappointed not to find them where they were supposed to be. And not to have a hairdryer seems strange. Otherwise, a really lovely place to stay for a few nights. Bradwell is friendly and conveniently located, and we love the fact that it is a proper village and not full of tourists. The precipitous slopes take some getting used to after the Cambridgeshire fens!! Thank you for the welcome goodies. We hope to come back; thank you.

  We stayed 3 night in Magdala last week.

  We received realy nice welcome note, fresh bread, milk, eggs, tea, coffee, biscuits and fresh beautiful flowers.Thank you very much. The cottage was bigger than we axpected, very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped and good quality kitchen essentials. Great eco cleaning products, tea towels....really everything what you need to prepare meals. Little garden with a grill and pizza stone ready to use, only bring your charcoal, all needed utensils provided. The bathroom isn't modern but everything worked well. Additional towel rack would help to dry the towels, There was only 2 things to improve and make our stay perfect: better quality of bath towels, which were smaller and didn't absorb the water well and to provide a hair dryer. However the owner promised to get one for the next guests. I would come back to stay in the cottage because it is in a central location for hiking and exploring The Peak District, very quiet, relaxing area and we slept well.

  Fabulous property ideally situated for seeing the local area and walking and with the train stations only 2 and 10 mins away it gave us direct access to Buxton and Edale without needing the car.

  This is a small property and it states it's for 4 people. There's a double bed upstairs on the mezzanine floor and a sofa bed downstairs - think this would be very cosy for any period of time. However, it was just the 2 of us and our small dog so great. Well kitted out kitchen with everything you need. Laundry facilities next to the marina office for a small fee. Starter kit included for the fire and you can purchase more fuel and logs from the marina office. Few minor points. The first is that the lighting in the living / dining area is provided by lamps. Lovely and cosy, but restricted if you're doing jigsaws etc (as we were!). Secondly the upstairs area gets very hot so if you're like us and prefer to sleep in a cold room, we ended up throwing the windows wide open when we went to bed. And finally the Wi-Fi speed is adequate but limited. Didn't bother us at all but might others!! Would definitely recommend - we didn't want to come home!

  This is a really nice cottage.

  Very well maintained & clean throughout with a great location on the canal for walks. Parking bay immediately outside is very helpful. The kitchen is fully equipped. The downstairs bathroom is a good size and is very warm with ample towels. Free Wi-Fi worked fine for us. The tv is modern with hdmi inputs for fire stick, dvd player etc if you want your own evening entertainment. As others have said, the mezzanine bedroom can get ridiculously hot & stuffy with the rising heat. The log fire was great and bags of logs can be bought at the marina office for approx £8. There is no enclosed space for the dog - it’s an open area with bench & bbq facilities. It’s also helpful that Torrside brewery is the building next door & has its own bottle shop to sample their lovely ales. It would be great to stay there in the summer months.
