“Beautifully finished apartment in a peaceful location.”

Well equipped and nicely furnished with great attention to detail. Would have been lovely to have some private outside space. Bathroom was fabulous and the kitchen area was equipped with high quality appliances. Bedding/linens/curtains of great quality. Thank you for a lovely relaxing stay.

Mr Lough July 2021

“The flat was really lovely very pleasant and airy .”

Very well done out to a high standard and owners very nice people. We loved the way it had been done to keep the charm of the old saw mill . Beautiful arched wooden windows and all amenities of a very high standard. Just lacking a bit of work top space in the kitchen but you can't have everything can you? Longnor was only a few minutes walk away with a lovely fish shop and pub doing food. We thought the village very nice with a lovely church and a lot of history. We found plenty of nice places to visit in the area with out having to drive to far.

Mr Asher October 2020

“Shirley, Phillip and Gemma were all very hospitable.”

A lovely break in the Staffordshire Moorlands and my husband found The Old Sawmill fascinating. Phillip showed him around the work in progress and also his workshop. Certainly has been a labour of love for over forty years. We wish them all the very best for their future and the work they have committed themselves to.

Miss Woodward August 2020

“My boyfriend and I enjoyed the best week together in the Peaks in this beautiful apartment.”

It was so tranquil yet so much to do, all located in a short drive away. Longnor itself was a great base for us, with a great local pub 5 minutes walk away! The hosts are most inviting, giving us a tour the impressive project underway at the Old Sawmill and leaving an array of gifts on arrival. Lots of thought has gone into this holiday getaway and it definitely shows - we definitely recommend the visit!

- Miss Woodward, August 2020
Mrs Burbeck August 2020

“Philip, Shirley and Gemma were great hosts.”

Very friendly and beautiful house and grounds they are renovating. If you get a chance for a tour around the Mill and workshop we would definitely recommend. Lovely little touches of bottle of wine and cookies waiting for us. Also eggs, milk and bread. All the fittings are high quality and all joinery made by Philip who is very talented. Very peaceful location with lots of walks from the doorstep. Would definitely recommend

- Mrs Burbeck, August 2020
Mrs Nash August 2020

“A great apartment in an ideal location for walks.”

Great local pubs serving delicious food. The apartment was extremely comfortable and exceedingly clean. We will definitely be returning.

- Mrs Nash, August 2020
Mr Norris August 2020

“This place is so peaceful and relaxing.”

Good walks close by. Everything is of a very high standard. Nothing has been overlooked. The kitchen is extraordinarily well equipped for a holiday let. A luxurious bathroom, which would have been even better if there had been more hot water to fill the lovely bath. A very comfortable bed with high quality bedding. The attention to detail on the owners hand crafted doors and window frames give an indication of the love which is going into this restoration. An invitation to tour the onsite workshop was an education and a joy. We will be keen to revisit soon.

- Mr Norris, August 2020
Ms Parry August 2020

“There was no DVD player and there was no thermostatic control on the heating so had to leave the windows open and got bitten.”

Also the water temperature was insufficient

- Ms Parry, August 2020

Mr Warner December 2019

“Beautiful appartment.”

Everything we needed and would recommend . We found the bed a bit hard since it was just a matress on a solid wood base but that is obviously personal.

- Mr Warner, December 2019
Mrs Bytheway November 2019

A lot of time perfection and love has gone into this accommodation which after staying there you can see Outstanding

- Mrs Bytheway, November 2019
Mrs Davies October 2019

“A beautiful apartment in a lovely setting.”

The inside is immaculate. Could be difficult if you're not steady on your feet as it's marble flooring but lovely otherwise. Very helpful owners who were available to ask for advice and keen to show us round the renovation.

- Mrs Davies, October 2019
Mrs Lewis October 2019

“This was the best equipped self-catering stay we have ever experienced.”

Lots of food and wine left for us if we wanted.

- Mrs Lewis, October 2019
Mr Jones October 2019

“This apartment was spotlessly clean and equipped to a very high standard.”

Even the kitchen utensils exceeded our expectations. The Saw Mill is set in beautiful countryside and proved an ideal touring base for the White Peak district. The owners live on site and couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. The whole Mill is being converted to holiday lets by the owners and completed to a new "Gold Standard" for self catering accommodation. For any man with woodworking knowledge, Philip's standard of cabinet making leaves one in awe. We had a most enjoyable week at this property and will return.

- Mr Jones, October 2019
Mr Beal September 2019

“We have booked many holiday lets over the years, anything from 2 to 10 people.”

For us the location was ideal walking within easy reach, visiting NT and places of interest within easy driving covering three Counties. Such hospitality from the owners and very interesting history of their commitment to detail and such high standards in the renovation. Made this a very memorable week.

- Mr Beal, September 2019

Owners who live on site were welcoming and friendly. No complaints at all.

- Mr Burton, September 2019
Mr Parsons September 2019

“The owners, Philip, Shirley and Gemma were particularly friendly and provided an expansive array of welcoming provisions.”

The flat is fitted out to a very high standard and the family's lengthy and ongoing project to renovate the sawmill is inspiring. The whole building is beautiful and in a lovely position well located for local Peak District attractions.

- Mr Parsons, September 2019
Mr Varo August 2019

“This apartment is more beautiful than photos can convey.”

It is immaculate. Each door, window, cabinet, and several of the pieces of furniture have been handmade by the owner and demonstrate a remarkable level of craftsmanship. The property is fascinating and the nearby village and countryside are lovely. The hosts were warm and gracious. We would definitely return!

With the River Manifold being just a few minutes walk away from you, why not begin your walk by strolling along the river, with walks ranging from short ambles to serious upland treks. Over in Bakewell, known for its delicious pudding, head to Haddon Hall, a medieval and Tudor manor house popularly chosen for films and TV programmes and steeped in history, you can walk through the well-preserved rooms and around the picturesque gardens before heading to the gift shop for a souvenir, and the restaurant for a Bakewell tart! Afterwards go and visit the Peak Ales Visitor Centre to have a tasting session of the best tasty ales that the Peaks have to offer, with a Gin distillery now being on site as well and a shop, and a lovely team running it all and ready to answer any curious questions about the brewing process. Up to Buxton, you will find a lot of things to do in the famous spa town, like visiting the classic Georgian architecture across the city, like the Crescent, the Pump Rooms and the Opera House. And of course most popular of all and all around you there are endless opportunities for walking, cycling, fishing, and several other activities in the Peak District, all the while surrounded by stunning natural scenery.
