Description: Mill Cottage is a fully equipped self-catering holiday cottage for up to 5 people in the Peak District National Park.
Located right beneath The Roaches and Ramshaw Rocks in the tiny hamlet of Upper Hulme, Mill Cottage is a fantastic home-from-home for climbers and walkers. All the major Peak attractions - Alton Towers, Chatsworth House, Shugborough, Buxton, Ashbourne, Bakewell and Ilam - are all just a short drive away.
The Area.
Upper Hulme is a tiny, but busy, hamlet between Leek and Buxton. There are several farms in the village, and the old mill and dye works buildings are home to some thriving businesses.
As the name suggests, the cottage was once part of the mill which was until the early 1970s a silk dyeing works. Now, our immediate neighbours manufacture equipment for other mills and dye processors in the old mill buildings.
There's a rich industrial heritage on our doorstep: just a short walk up the farm track opposite the ford you will find the recently restored Dains Mill which may date back to the 1500s, and the Churnet Valley (best explored on the Churnet Valley Railway) is packed with flint mills, copper works and old mine workings.
Walkers and climbers will love the Roaches & Hen Cloud, which are a 10 minute amble away. The views across the Peak District and west across Cheshire and to the Welsh border are simply stunning, and the climbing is world class.
"The Rock" pub is only a couple of minutes' walk up the hill from Mill Cottage, where you'll find a huge menu and a great bar.

Children
Kids always have a great time here: the garden backs onto the mill stream, but is safely fenced in to stop the more adventurous taking an early bath. Just across the road is a ford and small waterfall which our son (Nathan) has enjoyed exploring since he was four.
