"Lacewood is a lovely apartment."
Everything exudes 'Quality'. The fixtures and fittings are as good as it gets, the all-over detail and standard of cleanliness is exemplary. Phillip and Shirley, the hosts, provide a welcome pack which we greatly appreciated. We loved the photos of the building renovation that demonstrates their dedication to provide top-class accommodation. Set in a uniquely central location, it is a perfect, quiet and peaceful base from which to explore the Peak District. We didn't want to go home....

Philip and Shirley are amazing hosts. The property is beautifully renovated, clean and comfortable with everything you need for your stay, and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. I enjoyed hearing all the history of the old saw mill and seeing the ongoing renovations. Thank you for a wonderful stay! I will definitely be returning, hopefully in the not too distant future.

"This is a beautiful refurbished apartment, very clean and welcoming, owners Phillip and Shirley were always on hand and accommodating, some very useful items awaiting us on arrival."
Would recommend as ideal base for places such as Buxton, Bakewell and Matlock, and not that far from Manchester or Sheffield anyone who wants to do some serious shopping, plenty of walks. Would certainly recommend to family and friends looking for a lovely setting in the Peak District.
-
"Beautiful accommodation with everything to a very high standard, a credit to Phillip and Shirley."
A very generous welcome pack on arrival. Lacewood is in the perfect location for exploring the Peak District. Highly recommend.
-
"It ticks all the boxes."
Exactly as described. Probably one of the best self catering properties we’ve stayed in. Lovely friendly family. If you like somewhere with a pub/restaurant within walking distance then this, as far as we were concerned, is the only downside. The village had 4 pubs but sadly they’re closed, however one is in the process of being refurbished.
-
"Exceptional accommodation in a Grade II listed building."
Attention to the detail of the finishes was a credit to the skill and craftmanship of the owners.
-
"A lovely apartment."
Very high spec, clean and comfortable with everything needed for our weeks stay. Beautiful craftsmanship of fixtures and fittings. The best self catering accommodation we have stayed in throughout the years we have used Sykes. Phillip and Shirley are excellent hosts, friendly and thoughtful.
-
"Standard of the finish was excellent, very comfortable and made very welcome."
-
"The apartment was very clean and comfortable no expense spared We did however ..."
The apartment was very clean and comfortable no expense spared We did however pick this property as there was a pub and café advertised in the village but unfortunately both were closed not the fault of the owners but advert should be changed we feel But we did love the property very relaxing indeed Thank you
-
"‘Lacewood’ was the perfect holiday property."
The location of the accommodation was perfect or accessing nearby tourist attractions and walking routes. The property had easily accessible parking facilities and internally the fixtures and fittings were of a very high standard. Bed linen, towels, kitchen utensils etc were all of the highest quality. As well as the aforementioned, the owners Phillip and Shirley lived on site and were extremely welcoming and friendly, enthusiastically providing us with information about the renovation of the mill and the workshop.
-

Five stars all around with everything we required for a very enjoyable stay. Our hosts were very welcoming and generous and I would highly recommend this lovingly restored piece of history to everyone.

"Amazing everything and the owners are so welcomeing and kind"
-
"Lacewood is a credit to Philip and Shirley."
A beautifully restored apartment - making a very comfortable discerning base for a tranquil stay in the Staffordshire moorlands. Located close to the Derbyshire border making it a great location for visiting attractions in both Staffordshire and Derbyshire. The hosts left a comprehensive supply of groceries and these were very much appreciated. Thank you very much Philip and Shirley. We hope to return in the future as many other guests do!
-
"This apartment is decorated to a very high standard and there was a delightful welcome pack to greet us."
The kitchen is the best equipped that we have ever encountered in our many years of self-catering holidays in the UK and the equipment is all of high quality and easy to use too. There is a dishwasher which was a lovely surprise too. The owners are delightful, very welcoming and knowledgeable of local places to visit. Evern the weather was remarkably good for November! We certainly plan to come again and will be recommending the setting to friends.
-

"A spacious and homely property converted to a high standard with beautiful handcrafted woodwork throughout."
The property was immaculate and included a thoughtful welcome pack with delicious oat cakes. We visited Bakewell, Buxton, Castleton, Eyam, Chatsworth House and our favourite was the small village of Ashford in the water. We also had excellent food at the chip shop in Longnor. Lacewood apartment has been a great location for exploring the Peak District. Would certainly recommend.

-
"A spotlessly clean, very well equipped apartment."
Philip & Shirley are extremely hospitable owners who make you feel at home. We greatly admire their continuing work in the extraordinary renovation of the water powered Saw Mill building. Longnor is an excellent central base for exploring the White Peak District. This is our second stay and we will be back again next year.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Lacewood."
The apartment is finished to a very high standard and very well equipped. A generous welcome pack and added bonus lovely weather. There are many walks straight from the door, we hardly used the car all week. We would highly recommend Lacewood and hope to return.
-
"What a lovely place to stay."
People have mentioned "quality" before, and this shines through in everything - including the most comprehensive welcome pack. Even with the cold, wet and windy weather we were as warm as toast. Ideal for two people with plenty of space to spread out. All on one floor which suited us. Loved it!
-
"Fantastic facility with wonderful hosts."
Will be coming back soon!
-
"We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay, with all the facilities we required."
The apartment was beautifully fitted out to a high specification and we were made to feel very welcome with the bread, milk, biscuits and wine on arrival. As we were about to leave, we met Mr Kidd, who very kindly showed us all around the wonderful mill building showing all the work he has done to renovate this remarkable building and we were very impressed. We look forward to a return visit at some time in the near future.
-
"A lovely property."
One of the best we have ever stayed in! The owners had thought of everything - all those things that make a difference. Beautiful bed linen, huge soft towels, welcome goodies, the list goes on! Highly recommend
-
"Lacewood is a nice apartment with good quality fittings and equipment and spotlessly clean."
The owners are friendly and it was great to have a look around this amazing old building. We now understand the term Lacewood and were able to appreciate the interior of the apartment. I have to agree with the previous review from Sarah. There is a smell from the bathroom which the owner had a look at for us on our first day but was unable to deal with at that time. We also left the fan running continuously during our stay which helped. I do sincerely hope they get this sorted out quickly as it would then be a perfect place to stay.
-
"The accommodation is beautiful and really well finished, however there are a few ..."
The accommodation is beautiful and really well finished, however there are a few minor niggles If the owners are upstairs their footsteps can be heard very loudly, and taps and pipes can also be heard, It would be a good idea to be able to switch of the outside lights from the apartment as they do light up the bedroom around the excellent heavy duty blank out curtains The bathroom has a slight odour of drains, which only disappeared if the light/fan was left on all day
-
"Very clean spotless in fact."
All you need for your stay. The welcome pack was very nice all you needed to get you started. Very quiet a no peaceful made for a relaxing holiday. Would definitely book again.
-
"Very good location for exploring the area, and in walking distance to the local village where there was a shop and pub."
The cottage was very clean with all amenities - as listed on the web site. We would stay again and recommend to others.
-
"Lacewood is set in quiet tranquil garden just outside the village of Longnor which in its self offers adequate amenities."
The accommodation is to a very high standard as was the warm welcome we received from Gemma. There were little touches that made Lacewood a bit special and we will be singing the praises of this gem in the Peak district. The owners are on site if you need them but leave you to alone unless you require any information or assistance.
-
"Lacewood is an exceptionally renovated apartment offering comfortable holiday accommodation within easy walking distance of the lovely village of Longnor."
-
"Really excellent cottage that has been built by the owner with amazing attention to detail."
Highly recommend.
-
"A very warm welcome."
Immaculate property. Welcome pack far exceeded our expectations. A magical, full of history, place to stay. Perfect location to visit surrounding countryside and places of interest. Delightful owners on site if needed. Would have no hesitation in recommending this outstanding home from home and look forward to returning in the not to distant future.
-
"What a perfect place for a getaway."
The workmanship on the cottage is excellent. Everything hand made in Lacewood absolutely stunning. A comfortable bed and an excellent power shower. We will definitely be coming back.
-
"I was looking for some quiet space in a beautiful location and I also had heritage in an historic mill building with artisanal craft still being carried out on site."
The owners live onsite but never intrude unless you need anything (which I didn't). The workmanship is outstanding and the location, surrounded by the Staffordshire moors could not be better. I will go back for sure.
-
"The original sawmill is amazing and the owners have converted some of it into beautiful accommodation with a very high standard of finish."
The project continues and we would love to visit again to see progress.
-
"Our hosts, Phillip, Shirley and Gemma were extremely welcoming and helpful."
The apartment was in immaculate condition for our arrival and all equipment, furnishings, towels and bedding were of a very high standard. Phillip’s superb joinery skills were in evidence throughout and we look forward to returning in the future to see progress on the remaining apartments. This was an apartment where we immediately felt at home and comfortable; attention to detail was a particular bonus, with lots of useful extra touches and a very welcome starter pack of milk, bread, eggs, a bottle of wine, etc. Gemma had obviously put a great deal of consideration into the smaller details which make a rental property feel like a home. Longnor itself is a few minutes walk away and has the advantage of a couple of shops for basic provisions.
-
"Lovely small apartment."
Spacious and well laid-out. Good selection of cooking equipment and high quality kitchen facilities in general. Despite being on the ground floor Lacewood is light and has lovely views from the living area windows.
-
"On arriving at Lacewood we were met by Gemma who gave us a warm welcome."
We were delighted with the accommodation which was of a high standard, we shall definitely be returning. The Saw Mill is a very interesting building with a lot of history which the owners are happy to share with you. The location was perfect & so peaceful. It was close to all the places of interest with many walks which were off the beaten track. Thank you for a lovely visit.
-
"Gemma and her parents work so hard - not only in keeping the cottage up to first-class standards, but on the grounds and the mill itself."
The family are always so pleasant and welcoming. Thank you.
-
"This was a super find, a spotless, warm and cosy apartment."
There was a lovely welcome pack of bread, milk etc and Gemma who welcomed us was very friendly and helpful.
-
"The apartment is amazing."
Spotlessly clean, in fact sparkling! We have to put this holiday let at the top of places we have stayed. The fixtures and fittings are all top class with everything you could possibly need and more. The groceries were a very nice touch and appreciated.
-
"Lacewood is a beautifully renovated space in an old sawmill and the quality of the accommodation far exceeded our expectation, also the location is good being within easy walking distance of a good pub."
-
"We had an incredible stay at Lacewood."
On arrival, everything was spotlessly clean, and the apartment held everything (and more!) we would need for our stay. A nice touch was all of the wooden furnishings being made on-site by the owner himself. The old sawmill was very interesting, with Phillip giving us a tour and explaining the history behind it. The owners, Phillip and Shirley, went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect stay. We are very grateful for their hospitality, and are already excited to return in the future.
-
"We had such a comfortable stay at Lacewood - it was immaculate upon arrival and we were reassured by written list of what additional cleaning had taken place due to COVID-19."
The owners who welcomed us as we arrived were attentive and warm. Not only were we greeted with an exceptional property and welcoming owners, we were also provided with a few food essentials which was a lovely touch. The bed was extremely comfy and the tv had Netflix on it that was great. The apartment is in a superb location and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We would 100% recommend and would definitely stay here again.
-
"Ten out of ten all round,beautiful apartment,lovely owners made for a very enjoyable holiday"
-
"Lacewood is an outstanding property and exceedingly good value for money."
It has been finished to an exemplary standard (by the owners) - undoubtedly master craftsman standard and a delight to occupy for the week. The property sits in lovely surroundings which are beautifully kept by the owners. The location is excellent - only 20 minutes from Buxton and a similar distance from the lovely market town of Leek - and for the walkers everything is on your doorstep (no need to travel anywhere). I hope to return when time permits.
-
"The place was beautiful and the owners were so friendly and extremely talented, - I will definitely be going back!"
-
"We had a fabulous weekend away at Lacewood, inside was beautiful, lots of attention to detail, very clean and the welcome pack was a real treat."
The owners were very welcoming and the mill is a true labour of love for them. Thank you for the tour of the workshop and allowing us to explore the mill. The area is great for walking, the village Longnor has everything you need, good pub, shop etc. Would love to return.
-
"My husband and I loved Lacewood."
It was a beautiful apartment, all the fantastic wooden fittings are handmade by the owner; absolutely superb! Bathroom was also very good and the bed was really comfy; location great too! Owners are lovely people and very accommodating. We look forward to returning soon.
-
"Lacewood, as part of a complex, ongoing refurbishment of an historic sawmill, is a truly wonderful, delightful and sublimely comfortable retreat."
Situated just outside a little village (with a couple of small shops, eateries and pub) it is ideally located for complete enjoyment of the Peaks and Dales that spill over into 3 counties: Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire. Lots of awesome walks, cycle rides, or drives with stunning scenery at every turn from the front door. The lovely hosts at the sawmill are welcoming and generous - they have gone above and beyond to make their home and ‘labour of love‘ refurbishment project an exceptional holiday location for couples who are searching for that little bit of extra something. The accommodations are stunningly crafted, furnished and equipped. A few generous treats to start our break were gratefully accepted. My first booking here was for a 4night/long weekend in mid autumn - I’d definitely return again. Thank you so very much Phillip and Shirley
-
"Great central loction."
The workmanship put into restoring this old sawmill is second to non. Top quality fittings too. Two great people, friendly but not intrusive. You are missing a treat if you don't go and visit. Beautiful place.
-
"Beautiful area, phenomenal holiday let."
Phillip and Shirley where very accommodating. Inside and out, the let greatly exceeded expectation, so clean and so well made up. We thoroughly enjoyed being shown the workshop, Phillip is truly a master of his craft. Will definitely be returning in the future.
-

Elmwood And Lacewood
Out of Longnor village on the way to Leek, tucked away off the main road, you will find this stunning old, converted water-powered sawmill, a large stone building which is now home to these two idyllic apartments, Elmwood and Lacewood. Both properties come fully equipped with a handcrafted wooden kitchen, sitting area and dining space, as well as a king-size bedroom and spacious bathroom. An outside courtyard can be shared between the properties so everyone can enjoy the sunshine - if we get any! - and space for off-road parking for two cars per property is available. Longnor can offer you the essentials in this lovely market village, with a few pubs, shops, and cafes available, with larger towns like Bakewell and Buxton not far away at all - less than a 10-mile car journey. With the River Manifold being just a short walk away from you, why not begin your walk by strolling along the river, with walks ranging from short ambles to serious upland treks. Over in Bakewell, known for its delicious pudding, head to Haddon Hall, a medieval and Tudor manor house popularly chosen for films and TV programmes and steeped in history, you can walk through the well-preserved rooms and around the picturesque gardens before heading to the gift shop for a souvenir, and the restaurant for a Bakewell tart! Afterwards go and visit the Peak Ales Visitor Centre to have a tasting session of the best tasty ales that the Peaks have to offer, with a Gin distillery now being on site as well and a shop, and a lovely team running it all and ready to answer any curious questions about the brewing process. Up to Buxton, you will find a lot of things to do in the famous spa town, like visiting the classic Georgian architecture across the city, like the Crescent, the Pump Rooms and the Opera House. And of course, most popular of all and all around you there are endless opportunities for walking, cycling, fishing, and several other activities in the Peak District, all the while surrounded by stunning natural scenery. Elmwood and Lacewood will be the ideal place for a pair of couples looking to get away from a busy life, to relax in the Peaks and enjoy time in these gorgeous, unique properties.
