“A very warm welcome.”

Immaculate property. Welcome pack far exceeded our expectations. A magical, full of history, place to stay. Perfect location to visit surrounding countryside and places of interest. Delightful owners on site if needed. Would have no hesitation in recommending this outstanding home from home and look forward to returning in the not to distant future.

“What a perfect place for a getaway.”

The workmanship on the cottage is excellent. Everything hand made in Lacewood absolutely stunning. A comfortable bed and an excellent power shower. We will definitely be coming back.

- Mr Croft, June 2021
Ms White June 2021

“I was looking for some quiet space in a beautiful location and I also had heritage in an historic mill building with artisanal craft still being carried out on site.”

The owners live onsite but never intrude unless you need anything (which I didn't). The workmanship is outstanding and the location, surrounded by the Staffordshire moors could not be better. I will go back for sure.

Mr Green May 2021

“The original sawmill is amazing and the owners have converted some of it into beautiful accommodation with a very high standard of finish.”

The project continues and we would love to visit again to see progress.

- Mr Green, May 2021
Mrs Pemberton May 2021

“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.

Ms Rawlings April 2021

“Lovely small apartment.”

Spacious and well laid-out. Good selection of cooking equipment and high quality kitchen facilities in general. Despite being on the ground floor Lacewood is light and has lovely views from the living area windows.

- Ms Rawlings, April 2021
Mrs Abrams April 2021

“On arriving at Lacewood we were met by Gemma who gave us a warm welcome.”

We were delighted with the accommodation which was of a high standard, we shall definitely be returning. The Saw Mill is a very interesting building with a lot of history which the owners are happy to share with you. The location was perfect & so peaceful. It was close to all the places of interest with many walks which were off the beaten track. Thank you for a lovely visit.

Mr Harrison October 2020

“Gemma and her parents work so hard - not only in keeping the cottage up to first-class standards, but on the grounds and the mill itself.”

The family are always so pleasant and welcoming. Thank you.

- Mr Harrison, October 2020
Mr Baldwin October 2020

“This was a super find, a spotless, warm and cosy apartment.”

There was a lovely welcome pack of bread, milk etc and Gemma who welcomed us was very friendly and helpful.

- Mr Baldwin, October 2020
Mrs Blake October 2020

“The apartment is amazing.”

Spotlessly clean, in fact sparkling! We have to put this holiday let at the top of places we have stayed. The fixtures and fittings are all top class with everything you could possibly need and more. The groceries were a very nice touch and appreciated.

- Mrs Blake, October 2020
Miss Munro August 2020

“We had such a comfortable stay at Lacewood - it was immaculate upon arrival and we were reassured by written list of what additional cleaning had taken place due to COVID-19.”

The owners who welcomed us as we arrived were attentive and warm. Not only were we greeted with an exceptional property and welcoming owners, we were also provided with a few food essentials which was a lovely touch. The bed was extremely comfy and the tv had Netflix on it that was great. The apartment is in a superb location and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We would 100% recommend and would definitely stay here again.

- Miss Munro, August 2020
Miss Snell August 2020

“We had an incredible stay at Lacewood.”

On arrival, everything was spotlessly clean, and the apartment held everything (and more!) we would need for our stay. A nice touch was all of the wooden furnishings being made on-site by the owner himself. The old sawmill was very interesting, with Phillip giving us a tour and explaining the history behind it. The owners, Phillip and Shirley, went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect stay. We are very grateful for their hospitality, and are already excited to return in the future.

- Miss Snell, August 2020

Mr Main July 2020

“Lacewood is an outstanding property and exceedingly good value for money.”

It has been finished to an exemplary standard (by the owners) - undoubtedly master craftsman standard and a delight to occupy for the week. The property sits in lovely surroundings which are beautifully kept by the owners. The location is excellent - only 20 minutes from Buxton and a similar distance from the lovely market town of Leek - and for the walkers everything is on your doorstep (no need to travel anywhere). I hope to return when time permits.

- Mr Main, July 2020
Mr Strain January 2020

“The place was beautiful and the owners were so friendly and extremely talented, - I will definitely be going back!”

Miss Harrison December 2019

“We had a fabulous weekend away at Lacewood, inside was beautiful, lots of attention to detail, very clean and the welcome pack was a real treat.”

The owners were very welcoming and the mill is a true labour of love for them. Thank you for the tour of the workshop and allowing us to explore the mill. The area is great for walking, the village Longnor has everything you need, good pub, shop etc. Would love to return.

- Miss Harrison, December 2019
Mrs Pearce October 2019

“My husband and I loved Lacewood.”

It was a beautiful apartment, all the fantastic wooden fittings are handmade by the owner; absolutely superb! Bathroom was also very good and the bed was really comfy; location great too! Owners are lovely people and very accommodating. We look forward to returning soon.

- Mrs Pearce, October 2019
Mrs Shearer October 2019

“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

- Mrs Shearer, October 2019
Mrs Bramhill September 2019

“Great central loction.”

The workmanship put into restoring this old sawmill is second to non. Top quality fittings too. Two great people, friendly but not intrusive. You are missing a treat if you don't go and visit. Beautiful place.

- Mrs Bramhill, September 2019
Mr Crumpler September 2019

“Beautiful area, phenomenal holiday let.”

Elmwood And Lacewood

Out of Longnor village on the way to Leek, tucked away off the main road, you will find this stunning old converted water-powered sawmill, a large stone building which is now home to these two idyllic apartments, Elmwood and Lacewood. Both properties come fully equipped with a handcrafted wooden kitchen, sitting area and dining space, as well as a king-size bedroom and spacious bathroom. An outside courtyard can be shared between the properties so everyone can enjoy the sunshine - if we get any! - and space for off-road parking for two cars per property is available. Longnor can offer you the essentials in this lovely market village, with a few pubs, shops and cafes available, with larger towns like Bakewell and Buxton not far away at all - less than a 10 mile car journey. 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. Elmwood and Lacewood will be the ideal place for a pair of couples looking to get away from a busy life, to relax in the Peaks and enjoy time in these gorgeous, unique properties.
