“We hired Dragonfly to accommodate three couples (our cousins) who were here for a family weekend get together (100th birthday celebration).”

It was perfect, comfortable, roomy and well equipped. Richard was very helpful. Highly recommended.

“Lovely, spacious & comfortable apartment with everything you would need & more.”

We loved it. Nice little touches like teabags & coffee, & salt & vinegar in the kitchen cupboard, plus dishwasher, fridge freezer, hoover, ironing board & iron, board games. Great Smart TV which we were able to watch the Champions League final on, sitting on comfy sofas. Great location for the event we attended, we were able to walk to the Registry office & Torr Vale Mill & back again. My only negative comment would be that the master bedroom on the roadside did not have curtains, only blinds so it was very light in the room at 5am which woke me up. We also thought the sound of traffic was quite loud, but that maybe because we aren’t used to being on a main road. My parents were in the 2nd double bedroom on the side of the building & slept very well.

“Failed to meet expectations is a little strong.”

The write up and photos did not quite match the reality. Although the accommodation was adequate it was basic. Bathrooms very small, sofas seen a better day - no quality or attention to detail. Very noisy in the front bedrooms at night, cars revving and youths screaming on both nights. New Mills, although in a beautiful area, is a little run down. Maybe we are too picky and just didn’t choose well. Owner was very friendly.

“The cottage was very well equiped for cooking and even had a cafetiere (it could have saved us taking our filter coffee machine) there was enough crockery for eight of us and things such as the cooking knives were a decent quality.”

Beds were comfy and the rooms spacious other than the fourth bedroom which was still adequate. The outdoor area was nice, and I am sure is great in the summer, it was just a little cool when we went a couple of weeks ago. We would certainly go again!

“Excellent apartment, equipped with everything we needed.”

New Mills was a pleasant surprise, lots of cafes, pubs and local shops on hand, with good transport links to Manchester and everyone was very friendly although the Butterfly Café (beneath the apartment) has a limited menu due to the loss of their chef recently. The weather was reasonable so we could make the most of the fantastic scenery and countryside, recommend the local walks down to the Torrs hydro scheme (disappointing that the Millenium Walkway has had to close) and up Lantern Pike, a great way to blow any cobwebs away. If we didn't have to battle with the M6, we would love to come back again, maybe in a year or two when the motorway is "smartened up"!

“We all had a wonderful time staying at Dragon fly.”

Richard was very welcoming and helpful. The photos on the website do not do this property justice. Highly recommend anyone wanting to visit New Mills and the surrounding towns to stay here. Very comfortable accommodation.

Mr Parsons April 2017

“Big enough for 3 generations (7people) to spend time together.”

Excellent takeaways and pubs within a few hundred yards.Sainsbury local 100 yards so never short of anything.

“We had another great stay at the Torres apartments.”

Look forward to our next stay. Lovely area and Richard was also on hand if needed.

About the location

NEW MILLS

Hayfield 2.5 miles; Buxton 11 miles; Castleton 11.5 mies

New Mills is a small town situated on the borders of North West Derbyshire and Cheshire, forming part of the Derbyshire Peak District. Dating back to the 13th century, the late 20th century saw the Torrs Riverside Park (‘the park under the town’) come into being a place for recreation and relaxation, along with the New Mills Heritage Centre, opened to promote tourism in the area. The Torrs Millennium Walkway, a much-admired bridge, is set deep in the gorge and attracts many visitors, while Chapel en le Frith, the Capital of the Peaks, is only 5 miles away, boasting a cobbled market place and historic old stocks. Within easy driving distance is the delightful spa town of Buxton, famous not only for its therapeutic spring water, but also for its Pavillion Gardens and splendid Victorian Opera House, which boasts a variety of shows, attracting people from all over the world. Within easy driving distance are the Blue John show caves at Castleton and many stately homes such as Chatsworth House and Lyme Hall. You could even leave your car behind as there are direct rail links to Manchester, the Hope Valley and Sheffield. An ideal base for exploring the whole of the Peak District.
