Brilliant hosts

Bradway Grange
We recently stayed at Bradway Grange. The site suited us, away from the main road, and had a lovely farm shop to top up our food store. On route to the site we experienced a mechanical issue, Dan and Lisa were brilliant and got us linked to a garage who seen to the issue straight away and got us back on the road. 10/10 for the site, 10/10 for the hosts.

Not at all what we expected .

Bradway Grange
pro's: this site is easily accessible from Sheffield & major roads. It's geography with regard to walking in the Peaks is perfect - just a 10 minute drive & you're right in the Peaks surrounded by rolling hills & stunning walks. It's easy to get to anywhere in the Peaks from there. There are several pubs just a short drive away (we didn't go to any, but 3-4 of them looked lovely). There's an Sainsbury's Local just a 5 min drive away, perfect for the basics. Cons: it definitely isn't peaceful! There's the dreadfully potholed entrance road that's shared with the farm & farm shop etc that's right by the site, & that's pretty busy from 8am-6pm, & after that the farm machinery are to-ing / fro-ibg till all hours. Obviously its a working farm, so farm noise is to be expected, fair enough. But there's also a big cow shed that backs directly onto the site, & the noise, the smell, & the flies made it impossible for us to sit outside our van. Fly screens were in full use! Added to this, there is also a kennels next door, so barking competed with the mooing. Obviously all of the above are unrelated to the site itself, & should not reflect on the site owners, but I do feel all of the above impeded our ability to enjoy our stay there. On arrival, the grass was very long & 2 pitches were separated by a line of uncut weeds & stinging nettles. The owner said it had been too wet to cut the grass . Perhaps/perhaps not - other sites have managed. Stinging nettles surrounded the tap & cdp, & clearly had not been strimmed back for a fair while. The site itself looks very run down, & if we're honest, we've been caravanning for 27 years, a & used cl's for a good 17 of those years, & we both said its one of (if not the) worst sites we've been to. So unkempt & it wouldn't take much to tidy it up. We were using the site as a stopover travelling from Suffolk to Northumberland & back again, & geographically it was perfect for this. However we honestly regretted paying for our return stopover in advance as we really didn't want to return. But we did, & we were pleased to see an attempt had been made to cut the grass, though it was still long & cuttings were left. The weed/nettle line that separated 2 of the pitches on our first visit had thankfully been cut too. The nettles around the tap and cdp had not however. I accept that this summer has been awful & a lot of rain has fallen, but other sites we've been to have strived to do their best to stay on top of the maintenance & grass cutting etc. The site is narrow/cramped, & maneuvering when all pitches are in use I should imagine would be very tight. Just our opinion, which obviously varies greatly from others it seems. I'm one to give credit when it's due, and notify of downfalls when I feel it may help others.

A great stopover for Sheffield

Bradway Grange
We stayed here for one night. This is just a few minutes from the centre of Sheffield yet you are in the countryside - just! It is the first farm after the residential area. Access was easy and the owner very helpful. The site is small and we had Electrical Hook-up and access to a water tap. There was a chemical waste point on the farm too. About 50 yards away from our pitch so very handy. For the rest, it is very basic. One of the neighbour's sheep had escaped and was hiding in our field which I though was cute but my wife was not so sure. The farm next door (100m walk) has one of the best farm shops I have ever seen as well as a play area and tables and chairs outside. I would definitely stay here again if I was visiting Sheffield or the local area.

Glorious peaceful site right on the edge of the Peak District and Sheffield. Everything you need is here close on. Great shops, bus service etc. Owners cannot do enough to ensure you have a great stay. Will definitely return.

Great site

Bradway Grange
A real working farm. It’s quiet, easy to find and the owners are very welcoming. Now with electric hook up too. There’s all you need plus it’s a spit away from Sheffield centre and the Peak District itself. Faultless and intending to book again for next year.
