Excellent base for Peak District

Bradwell is a great location for visiting the Peak District: it's close to many of the popular hikes, but it doesn't feel overrun with other tourists. The house was very well set up and comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Taylor

Host profile image
We are Taylor Holiday Lets, a local family run holiday let business, and we personally manage and care for every property we host. Being hands on means we know each home inside out and can make sure it is always well prepared for your stay.

We live locally and love the Peak District and surrounding areas. We enjoy helping guests make the most of their time here, whether that is recommending great walks, places to eat or family friendly days out. Our focus is on creating relaxed, comfortable stays where guests feel well looked after, without anything feeling over managed or impersonal.

We take pride in offering well maintained homes, clear communication and a friendly, responsive approach from booking through to check out.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because Bradwell sits right at the heart of the Peak District and offers the perfect balance of village life and open countryside. The setting by the river gives the village a peaceful feel, while the surrounding hills, trails and landscapes make it ideal for walking and exploring straight from the doorstep.

We used to live in the village ourselves, so we know first hand how charming Bradwell is and how friendly and welcoming the local community feels. What we enjoy most is how easy it is to slow down here. Days can be spent wandering the village, heading out on long walks, or enjoying a pub lunch before returning to the cottage to relax by the river. It is a place that feels authentic and lived in, and one we love sharing with our guests.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is its riverside position right in the centre of Bradwell, combined with the comfort and character of a traditional Peak District cottage. Being able to step outside and enjoy the sound of the river, while still having village shops, pubs and bakeries just a short walk away, is something you rarely find.

Inside, the cottage has been thoughtfully renovated to feel cosy and welcoming, with a log burner, comfortable living spaces and little touches like board games and walking books that encourage guests to relax and enjoy their time together. Having lived in the village ourselves, we have set the cottage up as a true home from home, making it a place where guests can settle in easily and enjoy both village life and countryside walks from the doorstep.
