"The property was really nice and very clean, the position is ideal for day trips and was really easy to find, the settie was comfortable the shower hot and the bed firm which made for a great night's sleep."
The only down side for me as I am not a reader was the TV, a smart TV buy locked down that tight you couldn't even get the TV programme guide up unless you had the pin number, it had freeview plus but no wifi connected so only 50% of the channels you would watch, Netflix which is standard now but I could not log into my own account as the TV was not online which was a shame as the property had everything else there is a dvd player inside the TV, but to be fair these days who carries dvds with them, watching Netflix on your phone is a little bit anoying and battery draining, so for me my relaxation is lost in a film so it posed a challenge not so much for my wife who escapes in books.

"Couldn’t fault it , lovely position as well."
-
"Immaculate accommodation."
Everything provided for except for salt and pepper

"We had a lovely stay in Horse Mill Lodge."
We had a very warm welcome and helpful advice on cycle routes. Plenty of map's etc for walking and cycling. The property was spotlessly clean and had all we needed for our short stay.(Couldn't get the toaster to work though !!) We enjoyed a meal at the local pub. Buxton was a great place to visit. Thank you Lesley, for having a super place to stay !
-
"Very well maintained cosy property."
Superb views from the room. Position is excellent almost in the middle between Buxton and Matlock. Monsal trail is very near. Mick and Lesley were lovely.
-
"Beautiful place, very comfy, well equipped and spotlessly clean."
Owners just next door if you have a problem. Ideal place for buxton, bakewell (used the bus from the bus stop at the end of the lane) and the Monsal Trail is nearby. Amazing holiday, we will definitely book here again
-
"For the second year in succession we enjoyed a great stay."
The location is ideal for exploring the area and the facilities of the property are well maintained and comfortable.

"Horse mills position is ideal to Buxton, Bakewell and many attractions, fantastic scenery,so many walks."
Ideal place to stay and unwind.

"Truly first class accommodation."
The location and setting with the glorious views was second to none. Lesley and Mick are lovely hosts. Their accommodation is very well laid out, comfortable and with all the facilities you could need. I highly recommend the Queens Arms in the village that serve excellent meals, staff and locals were very friendly. If you are an age qualifying for a buss pass, we are, there is a bus stop yards (metres if you are younger) at the end of the short road. We used it for visits to Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock and the picturest village of Ashford in the Water. You can appreciate the views without driving yourself. We had a fabulous stay and I highly recommend Horse Mill Lodge.
-
"A wonderful place to stay, central to exploring the whole Peak District."
Lovely view across the area from the window. Good pub within walking distance. The owners were available if needed and the shortbread and coffee/tea were perfect on arrival. Comfortable and well equipped.would definitely come back and recommend it to others. Thank you for a great stay.
-
"Thank you to Lesley for a very comfortable stay."
The apartment was absolutely lovely and just what I needed for a nice relaxing week. Facilities were excellent. It was also a really good location between Bakewell and Buxton. I would really recommend. Thanks again, Rachel.

"We loved this holiday property."
The open plan arrangement was perfect; warm, comfortable and convenient with plenty of room. Good, clean, and up to date facilities. Secure car parking off the road and close to the door, so no dragging cases up long paths! There was even a snow shovel by the door so that we could dig ourselves out on the day we left. Thanks! Excellent walks from the door and by car we visited Jodrell Bank and Lyme Park. We will be back. Graham and Jan

"We enjoyed a quiet week with great views and plenty of walks from the Lodge."
The position and parking were excellent. It was a very muddy, wet week but found plenty of quiet roads to investigate. The village pub provided good food and was very friendly. The lodge was very comfortable with an excellent bed and good facilities for the 3 nights we cooked a meal. A place worth returning to.
-
"We've been to Horse Mill Lodge 5 or 6 times, and love it."
It's comfortable, warm, private, quiet, close enough to main roads to be accessible in poor weather conditions, has great walking from the doorstep, and a proper pub with good food within easy walking distance ... it's our 'annual retreat' and we think it's simply perfect!
-
"This is a really nice apartment, well situated and very comfortable."
-
"A lovely property in the Peak District very private with beautiful views ideal for visiting a host of top attractions which lie in the area such as Chatsworth Haddon Hall and the Monsal trail."
Definitely recommend this property would certainly use again if staying in this part of the country.
-
"Amazing little place, nicely tucked away but still close enough to a local pub and the villages of Buxton & Bakewell."
Lesley was a great host, even calling upon us to say hello. Highly recommend!
-
"Welcome pack of biscuits, logs and milk were very welcome thank you."
Warm and snug with a fantastic and easy to use log burner. All the things you need in the kitchen. Near to lots of places to visit and to walk. There was 4 inches of snow while I was there and Mick kindly cleared the track so I could drive out to meet friends. All in all a fabulous stay and I highly recommend it as a place to stay.
-
"This property is frankly superb!"
The location, the views and the facilities far exceed anywhere else I have ever stayed. The landlords have gone to great lengths to accommodate my needs. I would certainly be happy to recommend Horse Mill Lodge and have in fact already done so to several of my friends! Thank you Mick and Lesley
-
"Had a very nice stay here."
The cottage was lovely. Clean, comfortable, warm and had everything that we needed for our short break. Gorgeous views from the living room window, lovely little village with a great little local pub. Sadly didn't get to meet our host, Lesley, but communicated with her via email for instructions on key collection etc to which she was very quick to respond. Cannot fault this property, would definitely stay again.
-
"A very comfortable and well equipped cottage which was excellent for our short stay."
A very convenient location for exploring the Peak District
-
"I loved this little place."
It had everything we needed to make it a little home from home. Me & my husband would definitely go back to the great location, for our walks in Derbyshire.
-
"We had a very relaxing week here."
Perfectly positioned for our favourite places to visit in Derbyshire. Horse Mill Lodge was very comfortable and well equipped.
-
"This property was bigger than we expected, the views are great, everything at hand…."
. the pub just a few mins away food was amazing….
-
"A wonderful apartment, perfect for our requirements and very peaceful in a lovely village."
Mick was really helpful with arrangements for bike storage. Very central and lots of activities in the local area and excellent views.
-
"Had a lovely stay."
Accommodation excellent although near a busy road we didn't hear the traffic . Location very good between Buxton and Bakewell. Shame the outside wasn't much as looking across the fields seeing the sheep would have been lovely. Pasta bowls would have been useful. Would recommend
-
"An ideal location for exploring the Peak District."
The accommodation was first class and the views of the surrounding countryside from the property were a treat to wake up to each morning.
-
"Exactly as listed, very cosy and clean."
Superb location between Buxton and Bakewell. We loved watching the sheep and lambs in the field, very entertaining. Only thing missing in the well equipped kitchen would be pasta bowls but we made do with plates. Local pub has great menu at good prices.
-
"Super place: larger than it looked in the photos, and even more charming!"
Clean, contemporary, uncluttered: views "to die for", as they say. Well equipped, and with a very good woodburner. I've stayed in a number of holiday cottages, and I've never found one in which I felt so immediately at home. Fantastic base for walking - plenty of superb walks from the door, and the A6 was easy to cross, as there's a central reservation just where you need it. I had minor reservations about being comparatively close to the main road, but honestly, you could barely hear the cars at all, as the Lodge has perfect modern double glazing. As I said to Lesley, if it had had another room, I would have wanted to buy it!!
-
"The property was really lovely."
Spacious tasteful extremely comfortable. and very well equipped the owners were really helpful. and we would definerly recommend this lovely place to our friends and family.
-
"It was home from home."
We loved every minute of our stay. Lesley & Mick were very friendly and helpful. Mick even dug us out of the snow! Thanks for a great stay!
-
"Accommodation was as described."
Perfect place for cycling. Hosts were friendly and very welcoming. Spent a very nice, chilled out break. Would stay again.
-
"I had a wonderful stay."
The views were stunning and the setting was quiet which was just what I needed.The facilities were good and the shower was superb! My only ‘gripe’ was that the fact that the property was upstairs was not obvious enough in the agents advert. This gave me anxiety after I had booked because I have a mobility limitation and I hadn’t realised there were stairs until I ‘read the small print’. However, the stairs were not steep and they were carpeted and had a strong handrail which made things easier for me , plus the proprietor was very kind and offered help if I needed it. All in all a very lovely place to relax - I would definitely recommend it and would like to stay again. Thank you
-
"Ideal for two people."
Excellent location for visiting the area. Everything we expected. Thanks
-
"Comfortable cottage, very cosy, clean and tidy with magnificent views."
A very welcome "welcome tray" after a long journey.
-
"We had a very relaxing break at Horsemill Lodge."
We can highly recommend it. In a small peaceful village.Wonderful views from the lounge and bedroom of the countryside. The owners live next door and are on hand to help if you need help or recommendation of places to visit. It also has a cosy pub which is only a few minutes walk away. The accommodation is extremely comfortable spacious and very clean. We visited Bakewell, Buxton, Ashbourne which have good market days. Kedleston hall is well worth a visit. There are vast amounts of places to go walking.We have stayed here many times now and will be booking for next year as it is perfect for a relaxing break.
-
"Had a really lovely time, the lodge is situated in exactly the right place in between Buxton, bakewell, Ashbourne and lady bower ,we would like to thank lesley and partner for making us welcome, would recommend it for definite, thankyou for a lovely week."
-
"Very pleased with the location, facilities and the property in general."
We couldn't ask for a lovelier view from the bedroom and lounge windows. Even though just off the A6 road there was very little noise. It had everything we needed to make our stay first class.
-
"Very lovely and clean , great village and base for exploring peaks."
Really enjoyed our stay here

There was lots of room for two people. Mick and Lesley were very friendly and informative, making sure the we enjoyed our stay in Taddington.

-
"Horse Mill Lodge was very comfortable and spotlessly clean; it made an ideal base for walking in both the White and Dark Peaks with several walks in the immediate area."
The apartment was well equipped and very suitable for two people. We can recommend it without reservation and hope to return soon.
-
"Our stay at Horse Mill Lodge was very enjoyable,and everything about it was as described in the brief."
The owners are on hand if you have any issues, which we didn't, and make you feel very cared for. Would not hesitate to recommend this property. It was extremely clean, and a pleasure to come back to after a day out. Thank you again for a lovely weeks stay. Christine and Ian.
-
"Horse Mill Lodge was perfect for our stay, spotlessly clean, well equipped, very quiet, but convenient for the A6."
Lesley and Mick were exceptionally kind when we had a problem with the shower, thank you both. They have thoughtfully provided lots of information about local walks, plus plenty of maps and guides. A week wasn't long enough, we hope to return. Dolores and Peter

We stayed for three nights to see what the Peak District has to offer and we will certainly return. Pleasantly surprised to see tea, coffee, milk and biscuits waiting for us. We have used Sykes twice and will certainly use them again, thanks.
-
"Great woodburner."
Full central heating. Off road parking New curtains etc and outdoor seating wood gazebo. Superb views Well placed for loads of varied walks direct from the door. Mondsal dale, Deep dale and millars dalle all directly accessible. Easy to get to Bakewell, Hatherage and Hartington by car. Bus service just outside (hourly) Only lacks a washing machine/dryer for longer stays. Owners great and friendly, live alongside if need anything (v helpful) but otherwise self contained.
-
"The accomodation provided was excellent for our needs."
February is not ideal holiday weather but we needed recuperation after an intense period of activity. We were able to park our car and use the trans peak bus for visits to Buxton and Bakewell enjoying views en route even in wet , windy weather. Views from the house when resting and enjoyable walks from the door, contributed to a very enjoyable holiday.
-
"This was our third stay at Horse Mill Cottage and it feels like a wonderful second home for us!"
It simply has everything we need for a good and restful break, every creature comfort, quiet, privacy, attentive owners who check on us when we arrive during heavy snowfall, the welcome touches ... it's so cosy and warm, with lovely views over the fields and hills, an easy to light wood-burner, a pub with excellent food within easy walking distance, great walks from the doorstep. We are already planning our next stay!
-
"We had a great stay at Horse Mill Lodge over New Year."
The apartment is a very high standard and very comfortable and homely. We were able to do several walks from the front door in this lovely area of the Peak District. The pub in the village is a 10 minute walk along the main street and was very welcoming and offered great service. If we are this area of the Peak District again, we will definitely stay here again.
-
"The accommodation was very well looked after, high quality furniture and fittings."
Tea, coffee, milk and biscuits were very welcome on arrival. We would highly recommend this accommodation. Thank you Lesley and Mick.
-
"I found Horse Mill Lodge had a lovely homely feeling to it."
I was very comfortable and it had great views over the surrounding countryside. There are many footpaths in the immediate area which I took advantage of on several days. It is right by the bus stop for buses to either Bakewell or Buxton.
-
"Horsemill Lodge is an excellent place to stay."
For a get away from it all relaxing break. We have stayed here many times. It has lovely views. Well equipped,lovely comfortable king size bed,log burner and nice big shower room. Mick and Lesley the owners are next door if you need anything. Lovely friendly hosts. They have a vast amount of knowledge of the area and good recommendations of places to visit or things to do.We have already booked to return again next year.
-
"Our only real feedback would be that there, we feel, should be more than 2 tumblers to drink from."
Maybe it's us but we tend to use 2 in the morning for breakfast then 2 more in the evening for either water or to have a beer. But only having the 2 did mean we were washing dishes/tumblers every day. It should be noted though that this was such a minor point it did not distract from the enjoyment of this property/holiday.
-
"Lesley and Mick and are great hosts and the accommodation and views are just perfect."
-
"Would recomend mill lodge as very clean and has good veiws over the countryside"
-
"Flat was lovely, well set out and in a great location with not as much noise from the A6 as I'd feared."
If we're being really picky, a couple extra mugs and glasses would have been handy but other than that, it was very well equipped, spacious and had everything we needed.
-
"The Lodge was beautiful and spotlessly clean - just perfect!"
It was perfectly situated for exploring the Peak District and beyond. The owners were lovely. We’ll definitely go back.
-

"Lovely apartment with fantastic views in a delightful village in the Peak District."
Easy reach of Bakewell and Buxton - Chatsworth and the lovely Thornbridge Hall with its brewery just in Bakewell!! Friendly owners.. next door if needed... milk and biscuits a nice touch... we hope to return soon.
-
"This was a return visit to Horse Mill Lodge - and we are already planning another visit for 2021!"
Need I say more? This cottage is all we could want: comfortable, cosy, warm central heating and a powerful shower, a roaring log fire for romantic evenings in, and all the little details that matter: shortbread and tea pot ready and waiting for our arrival, champagne flutes for fizz, ice cubes for our G&T after a day's great walking direct from the door step, silence and privacy to allow us to properly relax. The A6 is only minutes away, but excellent soundproofing means noise does not intrude. It's our idea of bliss and we can't wait to return!
-
"Fab location to explore the surrounding area."
Great accommodation, bigger than expected bedroom and bathroom. Spotlessly clean. Welcomed by the owners who were really helpful and friendly. Lovely little extra touches like fresh milk and shortbread biscuits made for a warm welcome. Would highly recommend a stay here! Thank you
-
"This is a lovely place to stay, ideally suited for exploring the Buxton / Bakewell area of the Peak District."

The owners were very helpful and friendly, highly reccomend this cottage.

"This first floor apartment is very well presented with all the facilities we needed."
It is very useful to have the owners living next door and they gave us a very warm welcome. We are definitely considering going back.
-
"Cottage was immaculately clean and tidy with a very warm welcome from the owner."
Very comfortable indeed with everything you need in a small but perfect package. Great location as it's right on the main road from Buxton to Bakewell (but quiet too) which makes it about half an hour in all directions for great places to explore. Looking forward to return trip very soon I hope.
-
"Wonderful cottage, exceptionally clean and well equipped."
Comfortable bed, great facilities and a good living space (comfortable and spacious). A lovely secluded location on the edge of the village with beautiful views over the hills and fields. The cottage is very well located either for walks directly from it (with easy access to the Monsel Trail among other walks) or for driving further afield for other walks. It is easy to get to local shops and restaurants (a short drive away). Lesley and Mick could not have been more welcoming and provided helpful hints around the cottage to help us in our stay. Would highly recommend to anybody wanting a break away from the world.
-
"Lovely cosy cottage set between Buxton and Bakewell."
Comfy Sofas, Wood burner and very efficient Central Heating on demand. Allocated Parking Spaces outside the Cottage. Lovely Views although misty at the time of the year were still stunning. Hosts Lesley and Mick were very obliging and left us Milk Tea Coffee and Shortbread Biscuits. We had a lovely 3 Night Stay and will recommend to our friends and family Tracey & John Murphy

"No everything was excellent"
-
"Convenient location, pretty village, fairly quiet with good views."
Clean and comfortable, ideal for two, we self catered without any issues. Central heating and log burner fitted. Took a couple of days to really warm up with central heating alone but was a particularly cold week. Wifi provided though underlying internet slow. Would certainly consider staying here again.
Thank you for your comments, we have worked hard and take great pride in ensuring all our visitors have the very best customer experience in all areas. We have let Horse Mill Lodge through Sykes for 6 years and we have many valued returning guests. We consistently receive 100% feedback in all areas; this can be seen on the Sykes website. On looking at your comments, it came as a surprise to us to read that you were somewhat disappointed in the heating system and internet speed. We have contacted owner services at Sykes as we were mystified by these comments because our property has never received anything other than high praise for being so warm and cosy, and the internet is regularly commented on as being very good as it is fibre optic. It seems you chose not to use the log burner during your stay but we must add that the log burner is not necessary to supplement the central heating. As explained to you on your arrival and in the welcome pack, the central heating is high output and controlled by the guests via a room thermostat. Due to our excellent feedback score, we have not previously found it necessary to respond to customers comment. On this occasion however, in the interest of accuracy and fairness, we have requested that Sykes add our response to your feedback to ensure our future guests are provided with accurate information to enable them to make an informed decision on where to spend their valuable holidays. Regards Mick and Lesley Handley Property Owner

"Property in a very convenient position approximately midway between Buxton an Bakewell, super views over the countryside."
Hosts very helpful regarding pick-up and depositing the keys, and on arrival shown the premises, and how to operate equipment, and location of switches etc. Welcome pack included, tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits. We have had very nice Holiday, and feel that we done very well in our choice of accommodation, Thanks to Lesley and Mick. When we go back to Derbyshire this accommodation would be our first choice if available.
-
"Its the 5th time for us holidaying at this particular property & each time we have enjoyed it immensely ."
The accommodation, the area it is in & the owners of the property all combine to make our holiday a very enjoyable experience. Each time we return we find new places to visit new walks to do and generally get to know the place & surroundings better . Returning to this property after our days out exploring is always looked forward to . We find the property very warm & cosy having everything we need to enjoy our stay . The owners must be congratulated on creating such a lovely place to stay in as a holiday home & maintaining it to the highest standard enabling people to have a lovely base for a Peak District holiday . This is definitely a place we will be returning to to carry on our exploring of this wonderful area.
-
"A beautiful, tastefully decorated cottage with all creature comforts in excellent working order: hot showers after our long walks, a central heating system which provided cosy warmth within minutes, a woodburner for a quiet evening in front of the fire, a well-stocked kitchen for those who want to stay in and cook, and great pubs in walking (and easy driving) distance."
It's the little touches and thoughtfulness which make this place so special: the ice-cubes for the G&Ts, the short bread welcoming us on arrival, Lesley's helpful yet unobtrusive hospitality. It's a great base for walkers who want to leave the car at home, with walks starting at the door step, but also a good touring base for those who want to explore the Peak District. We loved this cottage and the area so much, we're already planning our return trip in 2020!
-
"Superb little bolt hole in a excellent location."
10 minutes from Buxton and Bakewell, and on the doorstep of some fantastic walks. Pub around the corner (10 minute walk), which serves food and is very reasonably priced. The lodge was great, with an ample sized bedroom, ensuite and living room/kitchen, with the owners leaving a nice welcome pack of tea/biscuits and wine! We will be recommending this lodge to our friends/family if they want a break to the Peak District - Thank you!
-
"Lovely cottage with beautiful views."
Excellent base for exploring the Peak District. Cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Lesley and Mick were very welcoming and the tea tray and biscuits was a nice touch.
-
"Horsemill Lodge is an ideal place to stay."
Very quiet. Located next to the owners home. It has it's own private gated parking space. The apartment is of a high standard and is extremely clean and spacious. A large shower room. And very comfortable bed. Lesley and Mick the owners are there if needed but do not intrude and leave you to enjoy your time there. Close to Buxton and Bakewell. Surrounded by beautiful scenery and countryside in a quiet village. Everything you could wish for. We will definitely return next year.
-
"On arrival, we received a very warm welcome which after a long journey was greatly appreciated."
The cottage was warm, exceptionally clean & perfect for our needs as it is situated at the heart of many walks without being remote from amenities. We will certainly be recommending Horse Mill Lodge to family & friends.

"Lovely cottage, just as it says in the advert, being able to securely store our bikes was a bonus."
-
"We have stayed here 4 times now and each time has been a lovely experience ."
The accommodation is in a lovely setting and is a joy to return back to after our days out in the Derbyshire Peak District. We are getting use to the local area and are finding lots of walks on the doorstep of this property . The siting of this property within the Peak District is very central so various landmarks are easy to reach with a short car journey which is nice that you haven't got to be in the car for long treks . Plenty of trails about where you can walk or Bike ride traffic free. The property is certainly a place we will be coming back to it is clean well kept and very comfortable with nice owners who are in the background if you need them .
-
"This holiday home with lovely views of the surrounding countryside from the upper floor accommodation is very well designed to give 1st class living."
Very clean and well equipped and secure. Lesley & Mick did all we needed to be welcoming and left us essentials in the home (like shortbread, tea, coffee, milk etc etc). We arrived to find the surroundings snow covered and even more picturesque then our memories of the Peak District allowed. The next too short days we were exploring the nearby dales and visited villages and views we wish we had more time to enjoy. Horse Mill Lodge is highly recommended and we would enjoy a return as soon as we can manage it. John & Pat CV34
-
"Horse Mill Lodge was a very cosy cottage with wonderful views (very snowy when we arrived)."
It was very well equipped and was always warm, with or without the wood-burning stove going. The welcome was good with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits on arrival which we thought was a nice touch. The bed was very comfortable. We liked the village of Taddington where we received a warm welcome in the local pub, The Queen's Head. It was an ideal base from which to explore Derbyshire.
-
"I really cannot fault Horse Milll Lodge."
It's a really lovely, modern, clean apartment in a fab location. We will definitely be staying again as there is so much to do in the local area. Can't wait to go back!
-
"Horse Mill Lodge is simply the best place we have ever stayed in within the UK."
This was our first Christmas away from home and it exceeded all our expectations. The little touches such as a fibre optic Christmas tree, mince pies and mulled wine all added to our enjoyment. Mick and Lesley gave us a very warm welcome and also gave us ideas for several walks that we could do whilst we were there alongside recommendations for eating out.
-
"Very cosy. Good location."

"Horsemill Lodge is an excellent place to stay."
It is one of the cleanest places we have stayed in. The facilities are first class. Lovely large bathroom and big comfortable bed. The log burner is very cosy to use although not needed as the central heating is adequate and is on at various times throughout the day. Parking is nice and secure in its own space with a gate. Beautiful quiet village close to Buxton and Bakwell and plenty more great places to visit. The owners are really welcoming and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it as an excellent place to stay.
-
"The accommodation was stayed in before both times we have had a lovely holiday the accommodation is everything we needed."
The place is central to the peak district in the middle of outstanding scenery having beautiful walks on your doorstep.

It is certainly accommodation we will holiday in in the future .

Buxton 6 miles; Bakewell 6 miles.
Taddington stands high in the Peaks, a group of small and simple cottages beside a long, rising main street, with a rather grand church at the top of the village. There is a pub in the centre of the village, and excellent restaurants and pubs to be found on the outskirts. This is the scenic heart of the Peak District with high limestone hills offering fantastic walks. The spa town of Buxton and pretty market town of Bakewell are both close by.
