The accommodation is beautiful and very comfortable. The owners Philip en Shirley are very kind and helpful and make you feel very welcome at their beautiful home. Lognor is an excellent base to explore the Peak District, with beautiful walks direct from the cottage. Thank you very much

Philip and Shirley were really friendly and helpful, and provided many little extras to make us feel welcome. We really enjoyed our time there and would thoroughly recommend it.

Lovely countryside walks on the doorstep, including the pretty village of Longnor and the friendly pub which is just a few minutes walk from the property. We did lots of exploring but enjoyed returning to Elmwood for cosy evenings where we had all we could possibly need, including a generous welcome pack which was an added bonus! We are full of admiration for Phillip and Shirley and their loving restoration of The Old Sawmill. We would love to return and would highly recommend this apartment to future guests. Thank you once again - it was a real pleasure to meet you both!
