We had a fantastic stay at The Old Mill Annex. The property is in a beautiful setting and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay, everything was clean and tidy and it felt very cozy. We really appreciated the welcome gifts left for us on arrival and Jacqui the owner checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is located a short walk from the village with a footpath through the neighbouring fields. We enjoyed meals in both pubs as well as coffee and cake from the tea room. There are a number of circular walks starting from the village and the house is well placed to drive to many of the Peak District’s main attractions.We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend the Old Mill Annex.

The annexe is located in a great village. We had a welcome pack of bread milk and alcohol. Cleanliness was brilliant. Our only criticism would be the location of the toilet being on the bottom floor. It's something we are going to make ourselves aware of in the future.
