The Mill Wheel is a well-received holiday cottage with guests praising the friendly hosts, comfortable bed, and the provision of tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. While some found the location a bit distant from the Peak District's beauty spots, it served as an excellent base for visiting local attractions. The property's outside seating area received mixed feedback.
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score.
The location is appreciated for its proximity to local National Trust sites and cities, but some guests found it a bit too far from the Peak District's main attractions and less interesting countryside.
Guests have highlighted the comfort of the property, particularly the bed, which was described as 'extremely comfortable' and 'big comfy'.
While some guests were satisfied with the facilities, there are not enough detailed reviews about the overall state of facilities and maintenance to provide a score.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident through the provision of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and milk. However, as gifts are not consistently mentioned, they should not be expected by future guests.
