For visitors who are adventurous at heart or those who prefer peace and tranquillity, the High Peaks area surrounding Bradfield Dale is awash with potential for days out. Serene reservoirs, windswept moors and the exhilarating heights of The Pennine Way are within easy reach, best enjoyed after a slap-up feast in a welcoming country pub. Acting as the base for your explorations, this quirky property sleeps two and is packed with rustic features and all the home comforts you need for your stay.

 

Arranged across varying levels and adjoining the owner’s home, your comfortable accommodation features high vaulted ceilings, whitewashed stone walls and an open coal fire for chilly evenings. The compact kitchen will satisfy your urge to cook, so once dinner is prepared, all you’ll have to worry about is uncorking the wine. There is an attractive seating area outside your property for al fresco drinks, and you are welcome to stroll through the beautiful, shared garden to appreciate the views. The cottage is equipped with a cosy double bedroom and a bathroom.

 

Grab your comfiest walking boots and set off to clamour over dry-stone walls and follow the various trails through Bradfield Dale. A chain of reservoirs offers an attractive backdrop for your explorations, starting with a muddy circular walk around the Dale Dike Reservoir 3 miles away. High Bradfield is one of two historic villages with eerie relics including the earthworks of a motte-and-bailey castle and an ancient church, whilst Low Bradfield boasts a brilliant recreation ground that’s a haven for picnics. Culture vultures will enjoy a change of pace with a visit to vibrant Sheffield 12 miles away, where there are oodles of restaurants to tempt your taste buds.

We had a lovely 4 night stay at Thornseat cottage. It is well located, making many popular peak district locations easily accessible - we went on some fantastic walks around Bamford edge/Ladybower reservoir, Mam tor and Padley gorge. Equally I highly recommend the 3 mile loop around Dale dike resevoir that you can see from your window!

Would definitely recommend! Hide

A lovely and cosy little cottage set in a beautiful part of England - it had everything we needed and we were well looked after by the hosts. Walks straight from the door; whether you're looking for gentle potters around the reservoirs, or more challenging walks up on the moors. Several excellent pubs, cafes and restaurants in the local vicinity.

This was our second visit, it is a great place, well equipped and very comfortable. The owner had the heating and lighting on which made walking in a delight and very usable straight away. Make sure you have sufficient food for the weekend as shops are a car drive away. We will be back.

I have photos of all of the above issues. It was such a letdown for this property which is why we cut our stay by a day. On the plus side it cannot be faulted for its location and distances to any local amenities etc. parking the lounge area was very spacious (although it needed a lick of paint) together with a large modern TV and broadband, and coRead moremfortable bed.

good points :Quite location ,lovely views,comfy bed,usb points.Good wifi. Clean but cobwebs ! Bottle of wine welcome . Improvements: Little storage for food & kitchen compact. Some items were missing . More Ovenware,spare bin liners,paper towel needed. Water was lukewarm. Oven fan very noisy. no visitors book. Loose toilet seat. Overall it was fineRead more but more basic than we were used to. A few improvements would help mainly in the kitchen area.. The drive is on a bit of a angle. Hide

Had a wonderful, relaxing week in the cottage. Some lovely walks on the doorstep, next to a road but incredibly quiet. The neighbours bleat occasionally, but on the whole are quite sheepsish :D Cottage is well equipped and the bed was amazingly comfy.
