Our family of 9 (6 seniors, myself, + 2 children) stayed at this lovely property. Plenty of rooms/beds to accommodate a large group. 1 bedroom is separate, a studio apartment adjacent. The house had everything you could need. Well stocked with bedding, kitchen items, appliances. Heating was on so we never felt cold. Garden to enjoy meals/sunsets. Quiet neighborhood. The hosts were easy to reach and friendly and also kind enough to bring us a welcome cake! Did not explore too much on foot. It's short drive to Matlock and Matlock bath. We enjoyed the area and found it safe and relaxing.
Only access to the kitchen/dining area/garden are down spiral stairs. I underestimated how much of an issue this was for the elder folks, who felt the stairs were daunting/dangerous. If you have children or elder folks you may want to consider another property.
That there was a hiccup with VRBO where they never sent me any sort of reminder about the second payment. I made the initial booking, paid the deposit, then days before our stay (months after booking) I was sent emails from VRBO with check-in and property info. I thought we were set. The owner came one morning while I was asleep, demanded to speak to me immediately and was quite irate that the second payment hadn't been made. I was unaware since I'd never received any email. The host initiated a request for 2nd payment. I got the message and sent payment then and there. Could have been addressed in a calm, friendly manner instead, IMO.

Very helpful owner who brought us cake! The property has everything you need for a group of friends, with 9-10 separate beds. Downside is it is bit cramped - particularly the kitchen and the narrow spiral staircase. But for the price it's great and we'll probably go again.

The Old Mill was a great place to celebrate a birthday with plenty of space for the 3 generations of our family. Imelda's cake was a bonus!

Nice house but a very tired garden also the stairs to the kitchen are shocking & unsafe for young kiddies to walk down also the older generation as very steep very tight very poor design but a nice location but I’d certainly change the stairs as we wouldn’t return purely for that factor

We rented the property for a reunion of 8 women friends over 60 as it provided enough bed space to spread out. It was ideal and we had plenty of laughs going up and down the spiral staircase, some of us with creaking joints! The owners were very helpful and we enjoyed Imelda's chocolate cake. Only thing missing was a folder of instructions for the use of the equipment and numbers such as local doctors etc, and we'd have liked a visitors book to write in.

Excellent location we could begin our walks directly from the property. Everyone commented that the beds were very comfortable and the lounge had plenty of sofas enough for everyone.
The stairs to the kitchen and dining room were a bit steep for some of the older members of our party, but the dinning area was spacious for us to eat in. Good value for money and would recommend.

All 10 of us had a lovely holiday (5 adults and 5 children.) Beautiful setting, gorgeous views and countryside. Local butchers and post office. We were lucky to be there for the village carnival, so much fun, just like stepping back in time. Terence and Imelda were great hosts, Imelda baked 2 delicious chocolate cakes for us during our stay. Lots of room for us all, My husband and I stayed in the cottage which was comfortable.

The main property is on three levels with a spiral staircase between the bottom floor and the middle floor and a more conventional staircase to the bedroom on the upper floor. The lounge is on the middle floor and the kitchen and dining room on the bottom floor. This did not cause our group of 5 adults, aged between 35 and 67 years, and 5 children aged 7 to 10 years. I think the children enjoyed the novelty.
The place is very well equiped with cutlery, crockery, kitchen utensils and pots and pans. The big dining table could seat 10 comfortably and there was also a small table for 2 or 3.
The cottage, which sleeps 2, is completely separate, also well equiped, and the entrance is not in the same courtyard but is 20 metres up the road from the main gate. This splits the family up but meant that the oldest member could have some peace and quiet.
10.0 / 10.0
This is a great place to stay with lovely walks in the valley along the canal and past all kinds of industrial heritage, old mills etc. Much more is in easy reach by car. The property itself has a quirky layout which makes it feels even larger than it is - and means big groups can comfortably enjoy the space without feeling crowded. Great value too.
