  • "We enjoyed our week here."

    Lots of pots pans containers in the kitchen, which were appreciated as we cooked in most nights. Good selection of books and a few games.

  • "This is a fantastic apartment with lots of nice features and facilities located in a beautiful part of the Peak District."

    The accommodation is spacious with great views of the river Wye and surrounding hills. A super quiet location within a historic building but still close to local pubs and a great base for walking.

  • "Four sisters enjoyed a lovely weekend at the Mill!"

    Comfortable, spacious, clean and warm apartment. Loved the setting in the old mill and had fun playing table tennis etc in the games room. Excellent position for walking to Bakewell and climbing Mam Tor.

  • "Lovely place to stay, clean and comfortable and ample size for 6 people."

    Games room and a bowling green just a short walk from apartment, ideal depending on the weather. Good walks are recommended from apartments but unfortunately weather not the best to experience them. The owner Jon was very helpful and kind during our visit.

The property

Great Longstone 2.2 miles.

The Mill is an outstanding apartment set in the 18th century, Grade II listed Cressbrook Mill, situated on the banks of the River Wye, in the village of Cressbrook, with wonderful views over the stunning Monsal Dale within the Peak District National Park.

This spacious first-floor apartment is beautifully appointed throughout to provide luxurious and contemporary holiday accommodation, ideal for a small group of friends or families looking to explore this magnificent countryside.

It offers three tastefully decorated bedrooms, the master bedroom and twin room are both spacious and boast lovely views over the bowling green and rolling hills of the Monsal Dale.

The double bedroom features a barrelled ceiling as it was originally the store room within the mill.

A large family bathroom with bath and shower cubicle services the bedrooms, as well as a separate cloakroom with WC.

The open-plan living area features a well-equipped, designer kitchen with Neff appliances and American fridge/freezer, complete with a breakfast bar leading onto a large dining room with a dining table to comfortably seat six people.

The large windows let in the natural light and allow you to sit and look over the views of the River Wye and surrounding countryside.

From the dining area, double doors open into the light, spacious lounge with plush seating and contemporary soft furnishings.

Guests staying here can make use of the games room which provides a full-sized snooker table, pool table, table tennis and air hockey, ideal for perhaps a rainy day or enjoy the Astroturf bowling green within the shared gardens.

Outside this impressive mill, you are surrounded by mature landscaped gardens with plenty of seating areas to sit and relax with friends or family while enjoying the beautiful views and listening to the calming sound of the flowing water of the River Wye.

From your doorstep, you can cross the river and walk up the footpath to the popular Monsal Trail, a traffic free route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders through some of the Peak District’s most spectacular limestone dales.

The pretty villages of Litton and Tideswell are nearby, with a number of fine pubs selling real ale and the popular little market town of Bakewell with its array of independent shops, pubs and restaurants is just four miles away.

A little further beyond are the historic houses of Chatsworth and Haddon Hall, both well worth the visit.

With something to suit everyone, The Mill is the perfect place to enjoy the beauty of the Peak District National Park at any time of the year.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

About the location

GREAT LONGSTONE

Bakewell 3.3 miles.

The pretty Derbyshire village of Great Longstone is situated in a wonderful location in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Great Longstone is nestled in an enviable position, flanked by Longstone Edge, with Bakewell and Chatsworth House close by. The village offers two traditional village pubs, a shop, 18th century stone cottages and a market cross that is situated on the delightful village green. The Monsal Trail runs through the village and provides eight and a half miles of scenic traffic-free walking and cycling, with the spectacular viaduct at nearby Monsal Head and several tunnels along the route to keep the whole family interested. Just down the road lies the picture postcard village of Ashford-in-the-Water, which boasts a medieval Sheepwash Bridge, once a major crossing point over the River Wye for packhorses delivering mail from Derby. The nearby, renowned market town of Bakewell, which can be accessed via the Monsal Trail, offers a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs, together with frequent local farmers' markets. Take a stroll along the river bank to feed the ducks and geese and see the ‘love locks’ on the foot bridge. The spa town of Buxton with its Opera House is also within driving distance. You could also visit the many stately homes including the iconic Chatsworth, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall, or take a trip to the World Heritage Site of the Richard Arkwright Mills in Cromford, all of which are within easy reach. With the impressive castle and caverns at Castleton close by, you'll be spoilt for choice at this fantastic location.
