Guests say
Mills Croft is a beautifully presented cottage in a peaceful village setting, praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and well-equipped facilities. Guests consistently mention the warm welcome from the hosts and the thoughtful touches throughout the property. The location is ideal for exploring the Peak District and nearby attractions, with lovely walks and a friendly local pub. While a few guests noted minor issues such as lighting and occasional odours, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, making it a highly recommended choice for families and groups seeking a relaxing countryside break.
The property is frequently described as spotless, immaculate, and very clean by numerous guests. Only one review mentioned a smell in the hallway and downstairs toilet, but this was an isolated comment among overwhelmingly positive feedback.
The cottage is set in a quiet, picturesque village with easy access to local attractions like Carsington Water and the Peak District. Some guests noted the need for a car due to limited public transport and distance from larger towns, but most found the location ideal for a peaceful getaway.
Guests consistently mention comfortable beds, a cosy atmosphere, and a homely feel. A couple of reviews noted less comfortable beds and poor lighting in some rooms, but these were exceptions to the general praise for comfort.
The cottage is highly praised for being well-equipped, with a spacious kitchen, good storage, and all essentials provided. A few minor suggestions included more outdoor seating and extra tea towels, but overall, facilities and maintenance are rated very highly.
Many guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts (tea, biscuits, cakes, mince pies), essentials like soap and cleaning supplies, and helpful local information. Please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Had a lovely stay at Mills Croft. The cottage was beautifully decorated and very well equipped. The tea and biscuits on arrival were also much appreciated. Perfectly located for all the activities we had planned. Would highly recommend

Had an awesome week away at Mills Croft with my 2 teens, immaculate inside, beautifully decorated, had everything from toilet roll, coffee, tea, sugar, dishwasher and washing machine to make it homely straight away, even had a downstairs toilet, that came in handy for sure. Only thing was 2 of the beds were not that comfortable but that didn't stop us from having a lovely time at Mills Croft. Rich & Di live next door in rhe new build and made us feel welcome straight away with a lovely card and cakes. Defo worth visiting. I know we shall again. Thank you

Beautiful property in a quiet village location. The house had everything needed for a week’s stay. Warm, cosy and clean with very comfortable beds. Lovely local area, nice walk to Carsington Water from the house. Friendly, helpful owners live next door and communicated everything we needed before we arrived.
