This is a great place to stay with lovely walks in the valley along the canal and past all kinds of industrial heritage, old mills etc. Much more is in easy reach by car. The property itself has a quirky layout which makes it feels even larger than it is - and means big groups can comfortably enjoy the space without feeling crowded. Great value too.

Very interesting and quirky house. Great views over the valley and would be a lovely spot for walking from. We visited for a family wedding where we needed space for a large group. We were out most of the time, hosts couldn’t do enough for us and also baked a delicious cake on arrival. The spiral staircase is narrow and quite steep. My only criticism would be that the house was cold when we arrived and didn’t really warm up until the following day. I suspect it had been unoccupied for a while with the heating being off/low prior to our booking.

I stayed with 8 of my friends to celebrate a belated 50th birthday delayed due to the pandemic. We had everything we needed to enjoy a weekend with friends going on a local walk using the local pub very friendly and just relaxing in the peaceful countryside. Would also like to say a big thank you to the owners whom had baked us a beautiful chocolate cake very much appreciated.

We had a great stay here . There was 10 of us staying & there was plenty of space The hosts were very kind & the freshly baked cake went down a treat Alton towers is about a 50 minute drive from the property Would definitely stay again

Very straight forward.

Property worked well for us with 4 different households, one of which had a baby and a toddler, so downstairs rooms very useful. Also cottage was seperate. Spiral stairs were a little challenging especially taking children down. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Good location and handy shop close by. Very good pub in next village

Lovely to all be together again. Very well equipped. Parking a bit difficult as large family coming from different areas so 4 cars.

The Old Mill was the perfect size for 14 of us (grandparents, two families, unmarried daughter and boyfriend). The facilities and equipment are ample and generous. The lounge is a lovely room for everyone to come together. There are flowers everywhere outside the property, which is attractively built in local stone, and apparently goes back to 1790. The one tricky feature is the original mill spiral staircase, but you soon get used to it. There's a lot of history locally - I hadn't realized that Florence Nightingale's home was literally opposite the end of our road; and the Arkwright miles are just a couple of miles away - but you're close to lots of key attractions, which the green, lush Derbyshire countryside hides away in the background very effectively. All of us, from 3 years old to 73, had a brilliant time, and the care and pride of the owners in their property contributed significantly to that. (As did the homemade chocolate cake which they presented us with...!)

We had a great time at The Old Mill and Cottage. Terrence and Imelda were lovely hosts, they even baked us a welcome cake. The place itself was nice and clean and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Great local walks and not far from Matlock Baths.

Great host, strange bed arrangement but with the cottage also available the 10 of us were very comfortable.

I'd never been to Matlock before. It's a great place, steeped in history and lush natural landscaping. Terence is a great host, gave good information about the area and once we'd checked in, he left us to it. Although he was very friendly and approachable, so if we did need anything I'm sure he would have been happy to assist. The property is ideally located and quirky in a good way, being an old mill. Well suited to young families and older parties alike. It was easy to make cosy in the evenings. I would definitely recommend and might even be back for another visit, as still plenty to explore around the area. Cheers Terence and Imelda!

Beautiful house in a beautiful location, the house and cottage were very well equipped, there was nothing we couldn’t find that we needed the owners were very good, let you get on with things but were there if you needed them and Imelda baked us a fantastic chocolate fudge cake such a nice touch, we would definitely stay here again and definitely recommend to anyone else Thanks Terence and Imelda ❤️

Overall our stay here was delightful. The property was very homely and inviting, a perfect home from home Within a beautiful setting. The property owners was extremely helpful and accommodating, highly recommended.

The cottage was in a very good location. It was clean and tidy but quite chilly. We were staying on a particularly cold weekend but it would have been nice to have a fire or some additional heating in the main living room. The house and cottage accommodated us well but the kitchen is well equipped but quite small. We appreciate that the spiral staircase is part of the original building but found it a bit tricky and think that anyone with mobility problems needs warning about how steep it is. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the cupcakes were a nice touch. We enjoyed our visit to this area very much. Thank you.

We were a family of 11 away for the weekend. The 5th bedroom is out of the house and down the street so this was a slight negative however the lounge room was fab for us all to be together. We enjoyed the dining area however the stairs were very dangerous and we struggled getting up and down a few times (however there is a sign to say they can come and help you if needed). Thankyou for the lovely cakes! And the lollys were lovely for the children.

We really enjoyed our stay. Lots of accommodation - in various places but it all worked well. Able to host our extended family for an afternoon as well, Imelda was a wonderful hostess and blessed us with her incredible cupcakes.

Excellent

The property was ideal

We were very satisfied with the property and all 9 of us had a most enjoyable family get together. The accommodation was clean and furnished to a good standard and we were impressed with the well equipped kitchen. We had good weather throughout our stay and were able to enjoy time outside in the patio garden. We appreciated the homemade chocolate cupcakes brought to us on the Saturday evening by the owner Terence’s wife....thank you!! It was good to have Cromford station nearby as some of our party arrived and departed by train. During our stay we visited Matlock Bath, Matlock, had a very nice meal in the local pub, and enjoyed the many rhododendrons in full bloom at nearby Lea Gardens. We would certainly consider a return visit to the property in the future.

The property was perfect for a large family gathering. Plenty of sleeping areas, well appointed and spotlessly clean. The Old Mill sits in a picturesque village close to a number of local attractions

We were welcomed with a large tin of chocolates instead of their usual home-baked cake, as my wife has a gluten allergy. (I don't think our grand-daughters had any objection to this arrangement!) And the shop/cafe/post office a few yards up the road even had some gluten-free items available; though as weekend visitors we weren't there long enough to try them. The main house was full of character. It has a spacious lounge and feature fireplace. A spiral staircase (not recommended for disabled access!) goes down from the hall to the dining room, kitchen and lower bedrooms. There is a ground-floor bathroom and twin bedroom and a very nice double bedroom in the tower (but mind your head going down if over 6ft.). The owners live in an adjoining section of the building and the main courtyard has parking for 3 visitor's cars. A self-contained cottage next door has a double bedroom and double bed-settee. There was a good supply of utensils and accessories and loads of toys, books and games for both kids and adults. We did find a few faulty items, such as a stuck tap, that appeared not to have been reported by previous occupants. The owners thanked us, ordered a plumber, and gave us a £10 discount. The location is very convenient for back-road access to Matlock Bath and many other attractions, without having to fight your way through the traffic in Matlock town centre. We have already recommended it to other friends and family.

The house was well appointed and spacious, with a very large lounge that groups of up to 15 can comfortably sit around. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. The location is lovely - a mile away from a nice pub, a mile away from a river, and not all that far from small towns and the Derbyshire Peaks. The only small thing to be aware of is a very steep set of stairs down to the kitchen and dining area. This is fine for most but I'd be cautious before letting someone who is a bit more frail to walk up and down. That said, as long as they are sleeping upstairs you could manage without them using the steeper stairs.

We hired the Old Mill and Cottage for a family holiday to celebrate an Anniversary. Our party totalled 6 adults and two children. We were all very pleased with our choice of bedrooms and facilities and really impressed with the way in which the property was equipped and supplied. Although we needed to bring Bath and Hand towels this wasn't really a problem. The spiral stairs down to the Dining Room and Kitchen take a little practice but we were soon quite proficient. The comfortable and roomy lounge was perfect for getting together. Our granddaughter (age 7) was delighted to find a brilliant dolls house and toys, whilst the adults had a range of books and games as well as a full Sky TV service. Lots of fridge and freezer space together with the oven, microwave and dishwasher made it easy to do our bit of self catering whilst a huge array of crockery, cutlery and glasses meant we rarely ran short of implements The owners are just lovely. Very obliging and willing to help. We were fortunate to enjoy a Cheesecake ready in the fridge when we arrived and some home-baked chocolate muffins later in the week. In the village, the local store.post office was handy and the Jug & Glass Inn do a really excellent meal.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Plenty of room for the ten of us, well equipped kitchen, toys, books and games. Spiral staircase took a bit of getting used to but added to the fun! Owners very friendly and helpful.
