"We stayed here for our "Mindfulness Retreat 'there was 9 of us ."

We absolutely loved it . Plenty of room. Very comfortable. Everything You Need in the kitchen . Plenty of seating . Log fire was a treat. The walks are amazing. Staff very helpful . The photos do not do this accommodation justice. We that pleased that we have booked again for this coming July for our next retreat. Congeries of sound & Angel Rays Derbyshire

New Mills also has a lot to offer, with places to eat/drink nearby, as well as the Peak District.

"The bike shed was spacious enough for our visit, it had some beautiful views straight from the balconies."

The marina is sited next to alot of garages, with a workshop right next door which was a little noisy at times. The bike shed was clean but there was old dusty cobwebs in every room above head height some even in the door ways. Every chair and sofa had seen better days apart from the two bar stools and the chair in the nook. All the dining chairs had no cushioning left in the seat, you basically sat on the frame with what was left of the leather covering. Noone used them they were too uncomfortable. The black sofa had rips behind the back cushions, and you sat so far back on the other sofa that it obviously was supposed to have a loose cushioned back, but only had two tiny scatter cushions. We had to use pillows to get comfortable. The beds were very firm with dips and rises in the mattresses, definitely need replacing. Only the main bathroom had a proper bathroom lock that you can unlock from outside all the enquires had a bolt, which resulted in someone being locked in as they couldn't unbolt it. It is very dangerous for the younger children. The ground floor ensuite was only lit by one down light which left it feeling dark, dingy and dirty. And their room door was not a fire door or substantial as it had wooden slats that you could see through the gaps in between, not very private for a bedroom. For 10 people sharing the kitchen did have two oven but the fridge and freezer where far too small. It was a good base but a bit rough around the edges. Would benefit from a bit of tlc.

"The photos do not do this place any justice, the Bile Shed is very spacious and provided the perfect base for us."

The rustic decor is favourite for me Catering equipment and kitchen was very good and catered for us all. Nice long dining table allowed us all to be together for meals and evenings for games. Lounge area in the open plan area was good, weather too warm for us to use the log burner which was provided with adequate wood and kindling. Outside balcony with view tops it all off! With 4 toilets/shower rooms, this meant no waiting and showers were lovely, just what the body needs have a long day walk, climb, hike, Overall, very impressed, would not hesitate to stay here again. Only minor improvements I can suggest from our party: Bigger TV screen, wifi drops out regularly (the kids), New non stick pan (the cooks) More pillows on the settee (the women). I thought it was pretty much perfect for me.

"The Bike Shed was a great property to enable a get-together of old university walking club friends."

Well located, clean and comfortable with a kitchen that was more than adequately kitted out - everyone was very happy with the accommodation.

"The property was immaculate and had all of the amenities we needed."

We stayed for a Christmas themed weekend and the kitchen was easily equipped to make a roast for 10 people! The staff were exceptional and made the experience more magical, she turned the heating on for our arrival and was always so jovial when we saw her around, it was a pleasure to meet her and stay in this beautiful place. We're already talking about booking for next year!

Offering accommodation for up to ten guests, this traditional cottage provides a great base for a family escape.

After a day of exploring the town’s treasures, make yourself at home in the open-plan living area, tuning into the TV for some catchup whilst the woodburning stove gently crackles in the background.

Cross the threshold into the kitchen, where the house chef can impress the group with a home-made dish before everyone gathers at the dining table to share their holiday itinerary.

As the night grows dark, there are four bedrooms to choose from; on the ground-floor lies a bunk room, whilst upstairs there are two doubles which feature en-suite shower rooms and a double bunk.

The bunk bedrooms have access to the family shower room, so you won’t have to worry about queues in the morning!

NEW MILLS

Hayfield 2.5 miles; Buxton 11 miles; Castleton 11.5 miles

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.
