The Mill Wheel

The Mill Wheel is a very comfortable quirky old cottage but with all the modern conveniences and very well equipped.

It is very well situated for visiting many local attractions and near to good shopping and leisure facilities, yet it is also very peaceful and a very restful place to stay. I loved waking each morning and enjoying the glorious countryside views and watching the many birds on the feeders as well as herons and egrets on the pond nearby. Margaret, Colin and Clare couldn't have been kinder hosts and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Mill Wheel.

The cottage was comfortable and within easy reach of plenty of interesting places to visit. Everything we needed was provided although the stairs might be difficult for anyone with mobility problems. However, we would recommend it to anyone seeking a quiet relaxing holiday.

Many thanks to Margaret for a warm welcome, and thorough preparation of the rooms.

Spotlessly clean and tidy, and all the facilities we need for our stay. Excellent venue for a quiet and relaxing break.

The cottage was perfect for my needs.

It’s a pretty building in a quiet location but only 3 miles from pubs and shops in Uttoxeter. Being just off the A50 dual carriageway means many places in the Peak District and north Midlands are within east reach by car, or in my case by bicycle via quiet cycle routes and lanes.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Mill Wheel!

A very warm and cosy cottage with a great fully equipped kitchen and the bonus of a washing machine and dishwasher. Although it’s just off the A50 it was lovely and quiet. Lovely big bed, great pillows and towels. Great communication with the owner too. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

A cozy little cottage with everything you need.

In a quiet location, you can sleep with the bedroom window open. I felt very comfortable, thank you Clare for everything! Only the access road is not nice with all its potholes, puddles and mud. But there is a hose in front of the front door to wash the car.

We enjoyed our stay at the Mill Wheel very much, we were made very welcome.

We found it clean comfortable and warm, We enjoyed watching the many wild birds from the bedroom window. Well equiped with everything we needed. We would stay here again.

It was not easy to find because address provided was not so precise.

But out of that perfect stay.

Lovely restful week at the holiday property, very sweet hosts.

Loved seeing Alpacas for the first time ever. We hope to return someday perhaps for a longer visit. Thankyou Margaret & Colin.

Very cosy cottage.

Lovely little place to stay in a nice location.

Hosts were lovely, and we had everything we needed!

very nice place to stay.

reception we got was very welcoming and helpful. would stay here again if in this area. thanks

Lovely welcome from the friendly family who had provided tea, coffee, hot chocolate and milk for our use.

Facilities were sufficient for us; the bed was extremely comfortable. We found some footpaths leading to Uttoxeter where there are plenty of shops and cafes; but it is quite a distance to walk. We don't normally do a lot of driving on our holidays so we found this cottage rather distant from Peak District beauty spots; the surrounding countryside is very flat and less interesting for our taste so we had more driving to do. I realise that holiday rental costs have skyrocketed in 2021 but I didn't feel we got enough for the money. For example the outside seating area for Mill Wheel is very small, shady and right next to the car. We enjoyed the holiday.

directions to the property were only given from the west, directions from derby would have been helpful.

also Grove lane to the farm is signposted to Somersal Herbert, it would be helpful to others to mention that.

It was an excellent base for visiting local National Trust locations and cities e.

g. Lichfield.

Cottage in a very unexpected place as it was next door to an industrial estate not ideal.

Lovely friendly & helpful hosts.

Fab big comfy bed. We especially loved the duvet. Can we ask what make it was / where you bought it?
