Litton Mill Retreat, Luxury Converted Mill

The flat had everything we needed as a family of three - lots of space, good cooking equipment and the ability to wash and dry clothes.. Super location to go for walks straight from the mill or a short drive away.. Fantastic communication from Max and Hannah.

This is a personal thing, but for us, the mattresses were too hard. If we had stayed longer than a few days, it might have been an issue, but for a short stay it was fine.

Superb location close to great walks in the Peak District and charming local towns such as Tideswell. The property was an apartment in a charming conversion of an old mill which managed to retain much of the character whilst providing very comfortable and modern amenities.

Only gripe was to do with key collection. We arrived in the dark, managed to get into the main mill building but were very surprised to find that the key lock box was not at the entrance to the apartment itself. As there was no mobile phone signal, we were unable to phone for advice. Eventually after an hour of frustrating (and chilly!) searching, a neighbour informed us that the key boxes were located on one of the gate pillars at the entrance to the complex, some 100 yards or so from the mill entrance itself. I guess the logic is that the key may be used also to unlock the gates, though in the whole time we were there, the gates were never locked, and I suspect they very seldom are, if at all. In fairness, we eventually found that one of the communications about the property contained a link to a PDF with clear directions to the key box, but there was no such link in the communication which provided the entry codes for both the mill building and the apartment key box, which we therefore assumed would suffice. Suggestion: either make clear reference to the key box location in ALL communications, or shift the box to outside the apartment itself. Frustrating as this impediment was, it did not spoil the later enjoyment of what is a lovely apartment.

Great apartment, very comfortable and welcoming extras; milk and tea :) Very spacious. Open plan space which was great for watching my little ones while cooking etc.

Only lost a star because dishwasher broke - but that was just unfortunate!
