Miss Anderson
September 2020
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
Miss Anderson, September 2020

This is a lovely place to stay, ideally suited for exploring the Buxton / Bakewell area of the Peak District.. Very good value for money, comfortable, well looked after, friendly & helpful onsite owners, Covid compliant, Would stay there again. Upstairs accommodation, access via a staircase that may be a problem for people with mobility issues.

I loved everything about the place and location.. The owners were very friendly and leave you to enjoy yourself but are also available for anything you may need help with. Will definitely be going back and couldn't recommend this place more.
Miss Street, August 2020
July 2020
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.
Mr Bundy, July 2020
March 2020
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.
Mr Fennell, March 2020
February 2020
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.
Ms James, February 2020
December 2019
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

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.
Ms Batten
February 2019
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!
Mr Etchells
December 2018
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!
Mr Rowbotham
October 2018
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.
Mrs Channon

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.
Miss Howden

Lovely cottage, beautifully clean, ideal location.. Friendly owners. Impressed with the welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, shortbread etc. I would stay again if visiting the area and would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you
Mr Price
September 2018
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.
Mrs Turnbull

Very comfortable in every aspect.. Good WiFi. Lovely location. Great having a dishwasher. Would love to stay here again. Good local walks.
Mr Bruton

The accommodation was clean, very comfortable, spacious and well equipped.. Although it is close to the A6 there was no traffic noise and it was very easy to get to all the places we wanted to visit.

Mr Smith

Another pleasurable stay in this apartment.. Excellent location and views of the surrounding countryside. Tea, coffee, milk and shortbread welcomes you and the apartment contains everything you need. Look forward to another visit very soon.
Mr Lovelock

Lovely cottage, just as it says in the advert, being able to securely store our bikes was a bonus..
Mr Leigh

Mick and Lesley are fantastic hosts.. Their apartment is of excellent quality, cleanliness and contains everything inside to have a great , restful time. The apartment is set in a very good location.Different walks from the location are easy to find in some of the best scenery in our country. Buxton, Bakewell and Tideswell within 6 miles . Easy straight forward drive . My wife and I have nothing but praise for Lesley and Mick's endeavours. We have absolutely no complaints. Thank you both.
Mr Wilson
March 2018
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 .
Mr Walters
March 2018
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
Mrs Bunting
February 2018
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.
Mrs Nottingham
December 2017
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.
Mrs Houlton
December 2017
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!

  My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Horse Mill Lodge. The owner met us on arrival and quickly showed us round before leaving us to our own devices, with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. A lovely touch. The photos do not do this property justice. It is spacious, light, incredibly comfy and spotlessly clean throughout. We were impressed with the size of the bedroom & bathroom and the storage available. The kitchen was well equipped and we genuinely wanted for nothing. Fantastic views from all windows and a perfect location for exploring Derbyshire. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Horse Mill Lodge and will definitely be returning.  
Mr Archer
April 2016
Horse Mill Lodge is in an ideal location with easy access to Peak District attractions and many different walks. The apartment is very attractive, warm and comfortable. The owners are on hand if you need them and are very friendly and helpful.
Mr Frowe

The cottage is very well equipped and the perfect size for a couple. It is extremely well located for walks directly from the cottage, with many others just a short drive away. The owners were welcoming and helpful.
Miss Lansberry

I would have been happy to call the apartment home as it was so well cared for, equipped and clean, showing taste in the overall quality of the furnishings. The owners were very helpful and kind, there when you needed them but not intrusive.

Ms Williams

Cottage was in a good location with lovely views. It was so clean and well equipped and the bed was comfortable. Loved the wood burner and the cottage was warm.

Although there seems to be little in Taddington itself, this property is a great base for travelling around the peak district. The apartment has been well thought out with windows on all four sides making the best of those lovely views. There was a generous amount of starter logs for the log burner and a decent sized freezer which is always useful. Horse Mill Lodge was generally well equipped (just a few items in the kitchen department we would have found useful). Just a few yards away is a bus stop that takes you into Bakewell (£6.50 return) and to Buxton if you felt like leaving the car behind.
Miss Escott

A lovely place to stay with a warm and friendly welcome, even from the sheep!

My boyfriend and I went for New Years 2014/2015 and were very lucky to get our original 3 nights extended to 5 nights. The owners were very friendly and accommodating and made us feel at home when we arrived and then left us to it. Fantastic little lodge equipt with everything you might need and cleaned to a high standard. We even had a fresh bottle of milk, tea, coffee and shortbread on arrival! Wood burner was a great and we even had a Christmas tree too :)we really enjoyed our stay, and would definately recommend it!
Mrs Gasson
February 2015
A lovely airy apartment with double aspect windows to bedroom and lounge area. Quality furnishings and bright décor. Had a generous supply of logs as a 'starter pack', good WiFi and it was great to have spacious parking. The owners were helpful and friendly yet left you to enjoy your holiday.
Chandler

Lovely owners, very accommodating. Location was brilliant, so central in the Peaks and not far from the main road but also in a great little village. The property was extremely cosy and very clean. Thought had been put into a lot of finishing touches.
Mrs Whyman Bates
November 2014
Horse Mill Lodge is a wonderful, peaceful hideaway. We loved relaxing in the comfortable lounge with the log burner going. The kitchen catered for all our needs and we liked that it was part of the main living room. The bedroom is very comfortable with plenty of space and a generous en suite. We would highly recommend Horse Mill Lodge.
TashaeS
November 2014
What a lovely little property! Superbly clean, with really friendly owners. The location - in a little village near the main road - was perfect for finding and accessing nearby hikes and points of interest. I would definitely recommend this property, this is the best place I've stayed in the Peaks. The price represented excellent value too.
Miss Ohayon
October 2014
Situated in a very good location, not far from shopping and town. Very easy to get around the Peak District. And if you're looking for peace and quiet it is wonderful too.
Mrs Workman
September 2014
The accomodation was nice rural, peaceful location with superb views from all windows. An ideal location as many places of interest were just a short ride away. We tried three local pubs for evening meals and we had our best meal at the Waterloo, a quiet pub but with a very friendly landlord with a lot of local knowledge.
Mrs Ballard
September 2014
The apartment was modernised to a high standard with everything in the kitchen new. The dishwasher was a real plus! The king size bed was very good with good quality linen. The bathroom was big with a good size modern shower and the towels were also excellent quality. The apartment was in easy reach of Bakewell, Buxton and many other places of interest in the Peaks. All together a really good holiday getaway.
Mr Spencer

A very relaxing week, with lots of places to visit without having to travel very far. Lovely clean accommodation.
Guest
August 2014
We stayed at Horse Mill Lodge in April. It is a delightful property, quiet but well situated for visits to Bakewell and Buxton, for example. The owners have furnished the property to a very high standard, and have thought of everything that you might need. They are friendly, and recommended places to visit, eat etc. All accomodation is on the first floor, so visitors would need to be comfortable with stairs. We can personally vouch for the excellent fish and chips from the mobile van that visits the village one evening each week!
Mrs Macqueen
July 2014
The accommodation was excellent and the owners were attentive and friendly. Plenty of maps and information about the locality in the cottage. Could not have been a better location for the activities we undertook.
Mrs Murphy

The cottage itself was lovely, could not fault it. The location of the house was perfect as a touring base.
Mr Rowbotham

We had a lovely holiday last year at Horse Mill Lodge and that's why we returned to stay again. The owners are very welcoming. The apartment has everything required. The village of Taddington is very quiet peaceful, the views are stunning. If you like walking you will love your stay at Horse Mill Lodge.
Mr Sanders

Convenient location between Buxton and Bakewell and 20 metres from bus stop. Cottage had attractive views, wood burner in lounge, excellent furnishings and excellent bathroom. Good walks from cottage door.

Miss Luxon
March 2014
Horse Mill Lodge was a fantastic base from which we could explore the Peak District. An ideal location with only a short drive to anywhere we wished to visit. The lodge is very well equipped and immaculately presented, we couldn't have asked for anything more! The owners are both friendly and accommodating and we wouldn't hesitate to book again in the future.
Ms Crowcroft

Lovely clean place - the owners were really friendly and helpful. Its a great location and very central for exploring and walking the general area. Would definitely stay again.
Mr Jennings

The cottage was in a lovely village with fabulous views from the first floor accommodation and was just off the A6, so was very convenient to travel to nearby Buxton and Bakewell. There were many lovely villages in the area .
Guest
January 2014
Horse Mill Lodge is a very well equipped cottage containing everything that we needed. The fittings are very modern and of excellent quality. We found the cottage to be very well placed to walk from the doorstep, as we did several times. It is also well placed for car visits to nearby towns of Bakewell and Buxton. There are a couple of pubs in the village which are adequate but we did not use them much at all. The weather was quite wet and cool but the log burner was brilliant in the evenings. Overall, we had a really good week and would recommend this cottage.
Graham Y

Also ideally located, great access, good value, friendly & helpful hosts and included secure storage for bikes. Ideal for a couple or a couple with a baby/toddler. We visited Buxton, Bakewell, Castleton as well as cycling the Monsall Trail and a couple of local walks. Many thanks! :o)

The property was amazing with stunning views, and access to the local area was easy, due to the location. Very private. Owners are lovely, and the communication for key collection was superb.
Mr Gardner
August 2013
The location was absolutely perfect for exploring the surrounding area with it being only 15 minutes to both Buxton and Bakewell. The cottage had recently been done up to an extremely high standard and can not fault it in any way. The bathroom and kitchen are of extremely high quality with plenty of kitchen equipment and cutlery available. Plenty of space in the fridge and freezer, extremely comfy bed and beautiful living area. Had an amazing time.
Mr Douglas

This was a lovely place to stay, extremely well decorated and furnished, and perfect for our needs. It was ideally placed in between Buxton and Bakewell, and proved to be a super base for us. We would definitely consider staying here again, and recommend to others.

The property is perfectly placed to enjoy all that Derbyshire has to offer, it was our first time in this area and we will certainly be returning. We would not hesitate to recommend Horse Mill Lodge to others.
Todd

This was the first time we had visited the Peak District and were very pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the area. The cottage we stayed in was finished to the very highest standard and ideally situated between Buxton and Bakewell. Both my wife and I would not hesitate in recommending Horse Mill Lodge to anyone who might be thinking of looking for a cottage with perfect views, welcoming owners and extremely comfortable accommodation.
Mr Rogers

Stayed at Horse Mill Lodge in early July, it’s a great newly converted one bedroom apartment finished to a very high standard with hardwood floors in the lounge, bedroom and bathroom and with stunning views over the Peak District. With all you need for a great holiday including a flat screen TV with built in DVD player, ceramic top cooker, microwave, dishwasher and large fridge/freezer, and should it be cold, a wood burning stove with plenty of wood is there for your use, backed up with central heating. Fresh flowers in lounge and chocolate biscuits, tea, coffee and milk in the kitchen. The lodge comes with a private parking area with two different seating areas one with a table and portable BBQ. The owners live next door and were very helpful, suggesting a number of places to go. Apartment has loads of tourist info and maps and some DVDs. The local pub and fantastic views of the Peak district are a short walk away.
