We’ve had a wonderful holiday at Mills Croft. A lovely home, set in pretty Hognaston. The house was very comfortable and well kept. We were very happy and will definitely return

Lovely house. Two adults and 3 kids under 15 stayed here for 4 nights. It is quite a distance from Alton towers (30 mins) or a nearest town so that’s maybe one downside to it. But it did the job for us.Very quiet area. House clean. Owners live Next door so any issues it’s easy to make contact.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage and would definitely recommend. It's clean, bright and comfortable and the owners made us feel very welcome. The village is really pretty and you can walk to the lake in about 20 minutes which was perfect. We will definitely stay again, thank you so much for a wonderful time! x
