Philip & Shirley are extremely hospitable owners who make you feel at home. We greatly admire their continuing work in the extraordinary renovation of the water powered Saw Mill building.
Longnor is an excellent central base for exploring the White Peak District. This is our second stay and we will be back again next year.

"What a lovely place to stay."
People have mentioned "quality" before, and this shines through in everything - including the most comprehensive welcome pack. Even with the cold, wet and windy weather we were as warm as toast. Ideal for two people with plenty of space to spread out. All on one floor which suited us. Loved it!

"We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay, with all the facilities we required."
The apartment was beautifully fitted out to a high specification and we were made to feel very welcome with the bread, milk, biscuits and wine on arrival. As we were about to leave, we met Mr Kidd, who very kindly showed us all around the wonderful mill building showing all the work he has done to renovate this remarkable building and we were very impressed. We look forward to a return visit at some time in the near future.

"Lacewood is a nice apartment with good quality fittings and equipment and spotlessly clean."
The owners are friendly and it was great to have a look around this amazing old building. We now understand the term Lacewood and were able to appreciate the interior of the apartment.
I have to agree with the previous review from Sarah. There is a smell from the bathroom which the owner had a look at for us on our first day but was unable to deal with at that time. We also left the fan running continuously during our stay which helped. I do sincerely hope they get this sorted out quickly as it would then be a perfect place to stay.

The accommodation is beautiful and really well finished, however there are a few minor niggles
If the owners are upstairs their footsteps can be heard very loudly, and taps and pipes can also be heard,
It would be a good idea to be able to switch of the outside lights from the apartment as they do light up the bedroom around the excellent heavy duty blank out curtains
The bathroom has a slight odour of drains, which only disappeared if the light/fan was left on all day

"Our hosts, Phillip, Shirley and Gemma were extremely welcoming and helpful."
The apartment was in immaculate condition for our arrival and all equipment, furnishings, towels and bedding were of a very high standard. Phillip’s superb joinery skills were in evidence throughout and we look forward to returning in the future to see progress on the remaining apartments. This was an apartment where we immediately felt at home and comfortable; attention to detail was a particular bonus, with lots of useful extra touches and a very welcome starter pack of milk, bread, eggs, a bottle of wine, etc. Gemma had obviously put a great deal of consideration into the smaller details which make a rental property feel like a home. Longnor itself is a few minutes walk away and has the advantage of a couple of shops for basic provisions.

"Lacewood, as part of a complex, ongoing refurbishment of an historic sawmill, is a truly wonderful, delightful and sublimely comfortable retreat."
Situated just outside a little village (with a couple of small shops, eateries and pub) it is ideally located for complete enjoyment of the Peaks and Dales that spill over into 3 counties: Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire. Lots of awesome walks, cycle rides, or drives with stunning scenery at every turn from the front door.
The lovely hosts at the sawmill are welcoming and generous - they have gone above and beyond to make their home and ‘labour of love‘ refurbishment project an exceptional holiday location for couples who are searching for that little bit of extra something. The accommodations are stunningly crafted, furnished and equipped. A few generous treats to start our break were gratefully accepted. My first booking here was for a 4night/long weekend in mid autumn - I’d definitely return again. Thank you so very much Phillip and Shirley
