The Derbyshire Peak District includes the little town of New Mills, which is located on the boundary between North West Derbyshire and Cheshire. Since the 13th century, the Torrs Riverside Park (also known as "the park under the town") has served as a location for recreation and relaxation. In the late 20th century, the New Mills Heritage Centre was established to promote tourism in the region. While Chapel en le Frith, the Capital of the Peaks, with its cobblestone market and historic old stocks, is only 5 miles away, the Torrs Millennium Walkway, a beloved bridge situated deep in the canyon, draws a lot of visitors. The lovely spa town of Buxton, which is easily accessible by car, is well known for its healing spring water as well as for its Pavillion Gardens and magnificent Victorian Opera House, which hosts a variety of shows and draws visitors from all over the world. The Blue John display caves at Castleton and other grand homes, including Chatsworth House and Lyme Hall, are also easily accessible by car. Since there are direct rail connections to Manchester, the Hope Valley, and Sheffield, you could even leave your car at home. a great launching point for Peak District exploration.

Well located, clean and comfortable with a kitchen that was more than adequately kitted out - everyone was very happy with the accommodation.

The rustic decor is favourite for me Catering equipment and kitchen was very good and catered for us all. Nice long dining table allowed us all to be together for meals and evenings for games. Lounge area in the open plan area was good, weather too warm for us to use the log burner which was provided with adequate wood and kindling. Outside balcony with view tops it all off! With 4 toilets/shower rooms, this meant no waiting and showers were lovely, just what the body needs have a long day walk, climb, hike, Overall, very impressed, would not hesitate to stay here again. Only minor improvements I can suggest from our party: Bigger TV screen, wifi drops out regularly (the kids), New non stick pan (the cooks) More pillows on the settee (the women). I thought it was pretty much perfect for me.

It was a great holiday with loads to do and self catering facilities were excellent. Would recommend the property to anyone. Staff went above and beyond to help with any requests.
