Guests say
Horse Mill Lodge receives glowing feedback for its spacious, well-equipped, and spotlessly clean accommodation, set in a peaceful location with beautiful countryside views. Guests praise the warm welcome from the hosts, the comfort of the beds, and the excellent facilities, including a cosy log burner. The property is ideally situated for exploring the Peak District, with a friendly local pub nearby. Minor issues, such as TV connectivity and occasional pet odours, are mentioned but do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience. Many guests are repeat visitors and highly recommend the property.
Cleanliness is consistently praised, with multiple reviews describing the property as spotlessly clean, tidy, and well maintained. Only one review mentions a slight dog smell on the sofas, but this is an isolated comment among overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Guests repeatedly mention the comfort of the beds, the warmth of the property, and the relaxing atmosphere. The spacious layout and cosy log burner add to the overall comfort, with only rare minor comments about stairs or pet odours.
Facilities are described as excellent and well equipped, with a well-stocked kitchen, good heating, and thoughtful touches like a log burner. A few minor suggestions include more glasses, a washing machine, and improved TV connectivity, but these do not significantly impact the overall positive impression.

You need to be physically able, there are stairs up to the accommodation and a step up/down to kitchen/dining area. Lovely views, in a rural location. Would recommend and would definitely return again.
