Description

This two bedroom semi-detached cottage lies in the heart of Castleton, a central location situated at the top of the Hope Valley, only a stroll away from shops and pubs.

Perfect for a romantic holiday, or some time away from it all, Mill Leat is a lovely base to begin your stay, with walking country and historic attractions just waiting to be discovered.

Upon entering, you will be pleasantly surprised by the ground floor layout, there is a modern shower room benefiting from its very own vanity unit, neighbored by a stylish kitchen, beautifully hand painted units.

After dishing up those delicious meals, spend an hour or two snuggling up in the comfy lounge, a heart-warming place to settle down on the leather sofas, enjoying the warmth from the open fire.

When it comes to a peaceful night's sleep, the fabulous double bedroom is a promising choice, complimented by bedside tables, and overhead storage cupboards, as well as more fitted wardrobes that lie adjacent.

The stone fireplace represents charm and character, with a pleasant outlook over the village creating a lovely backdrop to wake up to.

A delightful twin room is equally as desirable, from the soothing colour scheme to the panelled walls, and cushions, you will feel truly relaxed.

Stroll outside to appreciate the enclosed courtyard, your little haven to unwind with a refreshing drink, enjoying the exposed stone surrounding the calming stream.

Castleton boasts an array of little gift shops, food pubs and an excellent Visitor Centre with its small museum explaining life in the Hope Valley.

The Christmas lights and festive activities are very popular with visitors during December.

Nearby are the pretty villages of Edale, the start of the Pennine Way, Hope and Hathersage with its seasonal outdoor swimming pool.

Enjoy a day out at Alton Towers or visit the impressive Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, also within easy reach are Buxton, Matlock Bath and Carsington Water.

An excellently renovated cottage to build some memories.

Nice cottage right in the centre of Castleton, peak season but it felt cosy and in the heat the cottage remained cool.

Castleton is a great place to visit any time of year - great views/walks and plenty of places to eat.

A lovely place to stay in a great location.

The Mill Leat was a perfect base for enjoying the walks around Castleton, and the village itself is a real gem with plenty to see and do. We had a comfortable stay and everything was as expected. No complaints at all, and we would happily consider staying again when visiting the Peak District.

Directions were good, so the property was relatively easy to find.

We travelled to Castleton via public transport so didn't have any issues with parking or need the permit that was kindly left at the cottage. The false door was initially confusing, and we had people knock on it a couple of times during our stay which is a bit startling when you're sat in the living room so it would be a good idea to get that properly covered over so it's obvious it is not a real door anymore. The cottage is cosy (quite small) but had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. The kitchen table and chairs under the stairs is a little pointless as there's not really room to bring it out to sit around it. The enclosed courtyard/garden with the stream running through is absolutely lovely (when it wasn't raining!) - a great, peaceful spot to sit out and have breakfast or an evening drink. There's loads of storage space in the main bedroom, and if you like a really soft bed - this will be great for you. Unfortunately, I found it super uncomfortable - I'm only petite and not particularly heavy but sank down into the mattress (I'd suggest a new bed/mattress would make a huge difference) - the accompanying pillows were a little hard too (in stark contrast), so overall I found it difficult to sleep comfortably. Also, the drawers in the kitchen were a little stiff, but the kitchen was well equipped. The shower was good too. Location is excellent. We were mainly in Castleton for an event at Peak Cave, which is only a few mibs walk from Mill Leat. Overall, a great place to stay for a few nights, but a few improvements would make it excellent. We did appreciate the bottle of prosecco left in the fridge (not wholly to our taste, but a nice touch nonetheless).
