About this property
This splendid, converted coach house rests in the pretty village of Bradwell, in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Set in a reverse-level style, The Old Coach House is the ideal base for families looking to break away from normality and see what this scenic region has to offer. Enter on the ground floor and discover the bedrooms, including a double and twin, offering a wealth of character and ample storage for your personal belongings. Climb the carpeted stairs to the open-plan living area, featuring a wooden floor with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, offering a homely ambience to unwind within each evening. Allow the chef of the group to impress in the kitchen, equipped with all the necessities for a short break, while the rest of the group set the dining table with crockery and a bottle of fizz. To the exterior is a small patio area where you can enjoy your morning coffee while you ponder on the day ahead, plus there is an off-road parking space. The pretty village of Bradwell offers three welcoming pubs, ideal if you fancy a night away from cooking, and there’s a supermarket if you need to pick up the essentials. Why not explore one of the many caverns in Castleton, like Treak Cliff Cavern or Blue John Stone before sampling some dairy ice cream from Bradwell's Ice Cream shop, a favourite in the village for over 100 years! Keen walkers will be in heaven whilst roaming the Peak District National Park, offering walks through the stunning 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. Box off the attractions of the Peak District with a homely stay at The Old Coach House.

I am not a fan of rainfall shower head especially when you have swing the shower door open fully and it then sprays out on the floor. The control has to go through the cold setting to get to the hot while you are standing in the rather cramped bath space. The main issue is safety, there are no grab handles to help you in or out and no anti slip surface for the bath. You may find it difficult to get to the barn if you are unaware that what appears to be a small path is actually the access road, we found a very helpful local that showed us where the property is located. Finally the gate catch keeps dropping out of it bracket and then the gate swings out across the road!

Extremely quiet and walking countryside outside the door. The Coop is well-stocked and open daily for long hours. The village shop/post offices has a range of local produce (bread, cheese, pies etc.) and there are busses connecting Bradwell to other parts of the Peak District and Sheffield. For a small group without a car, a pretty perfect place to stay.
