Bank Cottage is a two-bedroom Georgian property, located in the pretty Peak District village of Bradwell. Boasting a well-equipped kitchen, woodburning stove, and modern shower room, this pet-friendly period property is perfect for couples or small groups and two dutiful dogs on a rural getaway in Derbyshire. The cottage is accessed via a small, paved seating area, ideal for a morning coffee or a sundowner after a long day out on the Peaks. The ground-floor comprises a well-equipped kitchen and a comfortable sitting room. The kitchen has an extendable dining table, with ample room for four guests, a range-style cooker, and a large Belfast sink, as well as a dishwasher, washer/dryer, and fridge/freezer (located in a utility room to the side). There is plenty of cupboard space for your food and drink. The sitting room has a large sofa, two relaxed chairs, a woodburner, a book exchange, games and jigsaws, and a TV. Numerous blankets and throws provide comfort for you and your dog. Upstairs are two bedrooms – a king and a double, with a simple shower room. Each room has storage for clothes and a TV. Bradwell is a well-served community, with a village store and Co-op as well as two lovely cafes/sandwich shops, and three charming pubs. Two village greens, equipped with playgrounds, give it a real outdoor feel. Regular buses to Sheffield, Castleton, and the Trans-Pennine railway mean you won’t need to rely on your car. Many wonderful paths and lanes can be explored directly from the village, but should you wish to travel further afield, the caves in Castleton are well worth a visit, as well as the Norman fort at Peveril Castle. The heated open-air swimming pool in Hathersage provides a beautiful backdrop to your swim year-round. Buxton, Tideswell, and Eyam are a short drive away. Bank Cottage is a lovely base for your next rural retreat to the Peak District National Park.

Bradwell is a pretty village in the Hope Valley, in a prime position in the Peak District National Park. Tideswell, with its renowned Tideswell church, known as the ‘Cathedral of the Peak’ is just four miles from Bradwell. The picturesque village of Castleton is three miles away, home to fascinating caves, including the Blue John Cavern, and is overlooked by the crumbling Mam Tor or 'Shivering Mountain'. The dramatic scenery of Winnats Pass and Edale in the Edale Valley, famous as the start of the Pennine Way, is nearby. Hathersage is just four miles away and has excellent cafes and an open-air, heated swimming pool. 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, whilst there are many historic properties nearby. Pull on your boots and enjoy the spectacular scenery, or explore a web of cycling trails, with bike hire available on the Monsal Trail, the Tissington Trail and at the Derwent Reservoir. Bradwell has shops, pubs and places to eat and makes an excellent base for enjoying this beautiful area.
