Low Shipley Mill Reviews

This property and location is amazing. We had a fantastic time, the jacuzzi and facilities are great. I personally didn't sleep that well as the bed in the main bedroom was extremely soft I do know that this is a personal preference though. Overall a great place to go to for a relaxing few days or weeks. Thanks for a great stay x

Good comms with prompt and helpful responses. accurately detailed. lovely site. great accommodation.

Jacqui

Great place

Patricia

Had a lovely stay. Fabulous location with stunning countryside views and a great hot tub. Negative points include, steep access to walking routes, not suitable for those with limited mobility or babies toddlers with pushchair or pram. We weren't happy that there wasn't a wasbasin in the downstairs loo, or a working light. Back double bedroom had a little black mould in the shower and an area on the wall near to the ceiling. Both ensuite showers were good, but the shower in the family bathroom was poor, with very limited pressure, only a dribble. Well equipped kitchen. Would have appreciated a slow cooker as It's nice to prepare a meal to come back to after a day out walking. The welcome cheese and biscuits and fizz was very much appreciated. We had a nice stay celebrating a special anniversary,however not sure we'd rebook this particular property for the points mentioned but would definitely visit the area again

Vivien

Very comfortable. Very good welcome pack. Well equipped cottage. Lovely place for a family get together.

Lorraine

Low Shipley Mill was a perfect stay for us and it was clean and luxurious. We loved seeing the mill from the floor window in the lounge, and the hot tub was fabulous.

Nicola

Great place to stay for a girls weekend away, had everything we needed and beautiful views!

Denise

Had a lovely time but there were just a few things that I would have expected due to the cost of the holiday. There was no dryer, which, had it been raining and we all got wet after walking would have been a problem as we didn't have many clothes due to the short stay. We brought films to watch but there was no DVD player so we connected to the app as directed, which we had to sign up to with a subscription attached and it couldn't connect our phone to the TV. This was very annoying and took us out of the holiday, relaxed mood. We then had problems cancelling the subscription. Other than that it was a lovely clean place to stay, with nice views and a lovely big hot tub.

Great location. Nice welcome package and kitchen had any utensil I could possibly need. Could do with a larger signsign closer to the gate for this particular lodge, and maybe fill a couple of pot holes, but I will definitely be returning.

We all had a great time at Low Shipley Mill. The cottage was clean and spacious. We enjoyed using the hot tub! Only minor suggestions would be to provide some more tea towels for the kitchen and some scrubberswashing up equipment.

Daniel

Brilliant weekend away. Cottage is immaculate and has all the facilities you would need. Hot tub was lovely with amazing views. Would definitely return. Thanks for a great weekend.

A slightly bigger fridge would have been useful and the approach road could do with a bit of attention but otherwise, an excellent place to stay.

Stephen

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay to celebrate a special birthday, stunning views from the hot tub and the sitting room. We will definitely be booking a return trip.

Really delighted with the stay, which was for a surprise birthday getaway. Not quite as secluded as we thought from the listing, however, absolutely stunning location and a beautiful property. Thank you for the lovely welcome hamper too a nice surprise for those who arrived first It would be worth highlighting prominently on the listing also about vehicular access and the state of the road fortunately our cars all managed, but I had contemplated bringing my sports car for the weekend which would never have made it down the track without considerable damage. Nonetheless, wouldnt hesitate to book again!

Claire

A fabulous property, spotlessly clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped. Owners couldnt have been more helpful and friendly. Stunning location. We will be back 5

Shellene

The Cottage is stunning. Cleanliness and amenities were 1010. We couldn't recommend it enough. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Sharon

An outside light near the hot tub for access would be really good. Its very dark when getting in and out of it.
