The Little Mill Inn in High Peak

This was quite literally the nicest roast I've had in my life!

It's a long time since I've been here, but attended a family birthday. The waiting staff were great and the food was absolutely fantastic, the four meat roast was delicious, with all the trimmings, what a roast at a country pub should be! Not a well kept secret though as you can imagine it was very busy. If you know the little mill, you know it's out of the way but well worth the detour.

We took the family for Sunday lunch and was not disappointed. The food was amazing and presented beautifully.

Fabulous short break. Food was amazing, vibe was chilled, room was gorgeous. Will definitely be back

We attended as a party of 8 and from start to finish it was an excellent experience. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. Hopefully the weather will be a bit better next time we come so the boys can run off some energy outside, they did laugh at the goats on the slide :)

A very picturesque property in the beautiful Peak District. Rooms are modern, roomy and spotlessly clean with comfy beds. Food served evening and morning was extremely yummy, particularly the full English. Staff were polite and attentive. Highly recommended!

It was easy to make the booking online. The service was prompt and friendly, and the food was ample and very nice. We had our 2 dogs with us and the had a snooze under the table while we ate. We were hoping to spend some time outside after our meal, but sadly, the weather decided otherwise. However we very much enjoyed our visit.

Lovely hotel in the middle of nowhere like an Oasis, great place for families with a great play area for the kids and lots of seating areas too. The hospitality was second to none and the dinner and breakfast were great

Absolutely beautiful place very aspirational and we had the means for all 10 of us 4 adults and 6 children to have dinner here yesterday. (£250) We ordered mezze sharers for a start and as they were busy it came out a little late, we tucked in the bits were lovely but they had forgotten to warm the pitta so we were all tucking in to COLD (par cooked) pitta bread that was dry and crumbly. The kids had cracked on and when we told the staff they brought an extra 2 pitta which were cooked and delicious. When the mains came all was good except for the lamb chops which were almost raw and bleeding all over the plate and table. I lost my appetite so this was refunded. However the manage wanted to argue about the 5er we wanted knocked off the meze starters. She even reported back to colleagues loudly that we wanted a 5er off the starters but she had only given £4 off. So disappointing when the owners werent there. Really took the shine off.

We stayed here for a few nights this week. Its a brilliant place to stay. All the staff are really friendly, it's a lovely bar/restaurant, the food is excellent, the rooms are clean and comfortable and a pint of Stella is only £5.10. We had a great stay. It's a handy location for visiting the Dales. Great for families - plenty of animals and play areas.

A great spot in an out-of-the-way hamlet, with indoor and outdoor seating areas. Parking nearby.

Went for a meal today for a special birthday The roast potatoes were there hard I nearly broke my front tooth the knife wouldn't even cut them The meal tasted sweet as they did honey roast carrots and they put them on top of the cabbage My husband got apple crumble and custard it was cold and the apple was big hard chunks All I can say you got plenty of food For the price we were disappointed and won't be going again

We love coming here, such a beautiful setting with lots of great beers and the food is so tasty!!

Great place to stay gtreat food and great staff

Just returned home after having a 10/10 Sunday lunch at the little mill. A generous serving of excellent meats, surrounded by all our favourite Sunday roast trimmings done to an excellent standard. Truly the best Sunday lunch I've had in many years, friendly staff and a beautiful setting an excellent local bitter went down a treat as well.

Me and two friends stayed here for a short break away, the rooms and location were good and staff were very freidndly. Didn't much enjoy the breakfast so we also gave dinner a miss.

We visited in the summer months, so was able to enjoy the lovely beer garden and surroundings outside. We had a lovely spot in the shade with our baby and it was a relaxed atmosphere. The food was mostly great. Out of 6 of us, 5 really enjoyed our meals. My husband didn’t enjoy the salmon as much. The service was mostly great. However, we had one request which was to have some boiled water, which was needed for our baby and her medication. Disappointingly, this request was turned down on the day. This was due to being short staffed and apparently isn’t permitted. Many parents of young babies request hot water to warm their bottles of milk for their babies, so I didn’t think this was too unreasonable. We managed around this, but I decided to highlight this to the management by email and still haven’t managed to get a response or even any acknowledgement of the email. Therefore, I have taken off one star to reflect this experience. I think this slightly negative experience will mean we may not visit again in the future sadly, or perhaps not until our child is a bit older. The playground did look a lot of fun for the older kids.

Lovely outside area for the kid's

Highly recommended for fantastic food and excellent service 👌

Amazing place and food is amazing 👏

This was a lovely place to stay overnight in our van. The staff were very good too and the locals were friendly, offering advice on where to go next. We had a roast dinner there which was delicious but we couldn’t eat it all, large portions. The pub also hosts an amazing play area for the kids. We were almost jealous of them - that wonderful slide. 😉 The pub also promotes beautiful areas in the Peak District to visit. I feel this beautiful area is underrated. I wish I was a bit younger and fitter so could do more hill walking but we were content to wander a little way from the pub.

We had a wedding to go to down the road from the venue so arrived early before check-in to drop our bags. Very friendly staff and very kindly allowed to use a room to get changed for the wedding. Helped us with a footpath across the field of the venue as well. Rooms were tidy, clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, a freshly cooked full English (pre ordered the night before) with a pot of tea and no buffet so the food was piping hot. We didn’t bring our kids due to restrictions at the wedding, but the outdoor play area for the kids looked brilliant including a massive slide. Overall, a fantastic place to stay!

A beautiful place to spend the night. The room was lovely, staff were very helpful and friendly. The meal we had in the evening was excellent. Overall the experience was amazing. The room we had also had a large balcony which was really nice to sit on in the afternoon/ evening.

Great food, friendly staff and really good beer.

Beautiful food, service and scenery. Will definitely keep returning

Had a lovely time with my partner,daughter,and granddaughter this afternoon. Had a lovely meal. Very friendly service.

Great place always busy,and mostly always booked up for food so best check if they have a table before you go to eat

Outstanding pub, been going here since I was a child , amazing place in the middle of nowhere , spend hours here family friendly, great food

We have been coming to this lovely place for 25 years .what can I say absolutely love it here .

The Little Mill at Rowarth, provides a 5☆ experience. ☆ Fabulous Location. ☆ Wonderful Staff. ☆ Amazing Food. ☆ Parking Available. See you again soon Little Mill 😊

Lovely country pub, beautiful gardens, river & water wheel, plenty of outdoor seating, had evening meal, small fish & chips, steak & ale pie, really good and very tasty, highly recommend.

We received a warm welcome on our arrival at this beautiful place, which is well off the beaten track. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. All of the staff members were polite, friendly, and helpful. Nice atmosphere for evening drinks in a wonderful setting. Breakfast was excellent, good portions and well set out. If we were to be ultra picky, the WiFi isn't the best, and not sure about pre ordering breakfast the night before. All in all it was a great experience and we look forward to staying again, and again. Would definitely recommend to others.

Had lunch out here today as we have been several times before. The lady members of staff were very polite and cheerful. The landlord on the other hand did not seem to like the words hello, please and thank you . Ordered 3 small plates burgers and some onion rings. Wow the onion rings were massive, crunchy and very yummy. We will return with or without a miserable old goat serving behind the bar

Beautiful little pub set in the hills. Great children's play area with animals. Proper pub grub on sale too with fresh lager and ales. Well worth a trip out

One of the best pubs we’ve ever been to! Great service, friendly and welcoming and the food was out of this world!… If we’re in the area will definitely visit again.

Nice place amidst valleys with good food.

I visited here several years ago and remembered how lovely it was. I now live near Leek which is some way a way but me and my partner were thinking of going out for a run in the car for lunch and I suggested here. When we arrived I had forgotten how amazing it was and when we entered the pub we asked at the bar if there was a table for 2 but the Landlady Sarah told us they were fully booked which was apparent as it was really busy. When I told her how far we had travelled. She advised us to sit and she would sort something out. She was amazing and found us a table and we were not disappointed with the food there was plenty of it. The service, atmosphere, and not least the food was fantastic. We will definitely be travelling back to see the lovely Sarah and Co.

I went to The Little Mill for my birthday on 5th July 2024. We had lunch there and it was amazing. The welcome and the food was fantastic. A definite place to visit.

Lovely owners & setting, a really delicious breakfast & modern furnishings. However, we were given room 3 to stay in which at the time featured: - Hearing people in pub below chatting away until the early hours all too clearly and somehow making banging noises at the same time. It wasn't a rowdy crowd, there's just zero sound insulation so good luck if you do get a noisy bunch down there. - An air conditioning unit starting up all the time immediately outside window. Annoying with the window closed so forget having it open. - Nowhere to hang your towel within 6ft of the shower. - A worn out bathroom extractor fan that sounds like on old lawnmower. It comes on with the light so if you forget to turn it off your partner won't thank you for nipping to the loo in the night. - The bathroom was nice overall but some finishing looked to have been rushed.

First time at The Little Mill Inn. We had Sunday Lunch, Roast Lamb, and Sirloin of beef. Quite simply the best roast lunch I've had in a long time. Staff were friendly and helpful despite being very busy outside as it was a beautiful day. 10/10 Well done, will definitely be back.

Great location, superb food (served piping hot, and large portions - a rarity nowadays). Friendly and helpful staff - we appreciated the endless servings of free milk for our daughter, thank you! Also, refreshing to see how well you've invested in the outdoor area - beer gardens are generally in decline nowadays but this is the best I've ever seen. We loved the play area and various animals.

Excellent food 😋, definitely coming back

Lovely Inn in a beautiful location. Would definitely stay here again in the future if in the area. Location is close to walks in the peaks and to local towns with shops and restaurants/takeaways. The site itself is beautiful with a play area, animals and loads of seating for patrons.

Lovely off the beaten track pub. Nice location. Kid friendly. Can be difficult to find, but worth the effort.

The rooms are clean and tidy. The food is excellent, I highly recommend their home made pulled pork pie.

Seriously the best sunday lunch in a very very long time!!! No photos, too busy enjoying

Fantastic meal in a wonderful location. Highly recommend.

Had lunch, lovely place, off the beaten track but worth the journey. Food and service was excellent, there’s a playground if you have kids and some goats too!! We will definitely be going back at some point

Amazing country pub in a great rural location but only 20 minutes drive from reddish We went on a group meal at the weekend The food and setting was epic I would highly recommend

A really lovely pub, great walks around the surrounding area and the food was so good! Dog friendly, which is always a bonus.

Lovely place, great food and awesome for kids. Only downer is I wasn't into the drink selection, it didn't seem to match the place. At least one decent cider or/and IPA would have this my go to pub.

Had an excellent time here, my mothers birthday. Service was perfect, prices reasonable and the place is just wonderful. Had an excellent day here. Highly recommend

Had a wonderful birthday dinner here. Food was wonderful, soo tasty 😋

we finially visited this pub, we arrived 3pm on thursday after hiking at kinder scout. the meals ordered were tasty. batter of fish was crispy and fish was in generous size. the steak pie was large and lot of meat in it. the bransley chop was little bit tough but good taste. the starter belly pork was bit disappointed due to in too small portion and it did not worth that money.

Really friendly staff. Couldn't do enough for us. Lovely outside seating area. Food was plentiful and all locally sourced. Quality food cooked very well.This is important as we need to support our farmers. Prices were very good. Went to another pub restaurant which was a lot more expensive yet no local produce and standard was mediocre. Big bonus is the option for a smaller plate for those of us that are older and don't need a large plate anymore. Would highly recommend. Well done.

One of our favourite places, we come here regularly, sometimes with the grandkids who love the play areas and animals and the stream, sometimes with friends and family for meals. Came last week for family birthday celebrations with family and grandkids. Kids were able to play outside before and after dinner. The food was as lovely as usual. For those who like bitter the Little Mill badged pint is very nice. And great service as usual.

Went for lunch, great portion size, good menu, super staff. Catered well for my wife who has a strict dietary requirement. Loved the location and well worth the trip to get there

I ve been here with my family and my dog on bank holiday monday and I felt in love with this place. Is great for children as there are animals and a great play area,my doughter really enjoyed the slide while we enjoyed some drinks. The room is clean and big enought to fit a sofa aswell.The smart TV is defitenely a big plus. All the areas are dog friendly so we managed to have our dog always with us. We had the chance to try the food aswell : they pie was delicious,the lamb cooked to perfection and most of the dishes were Home-made.It was the best english food i had in 10 years in uk. All the staff and the owner were very nice and always smiling. The position is perfect for hiking and nature lovers. Can t wait to come back for another holiday break!

I love this place it’s amazing stunning location stunning food I was there twice last week! Kids love the outdoor area I have been recommending to family and friends!

We think the food is outstanding, the Sunday roast is really really good, scrummy and all the other words you should use! Could benefit from having a note section on the booking form to let them know about any special requests - such as a quiet table etc, we were placed into the small side room with another family and this was a little uncomfortable as it was like we were gate crashing a party of 14 people! However the outdoor space and the inside dining areas are lovely and everywhere is spotlessly clean. Also like to ask for a few better on draught ciders as they only have Magners which isn't great (in our opinion).. Overall we were super happy and will be back again and again!

A charming pub in a lovely position. 4 of us had lunch and all the meals were freshly cooked and generous portions of very nice food. Friendly staff, large car parks (it gets busy so you do need to book) lots of things of interest for children and a lovely working water wheel. It is also dog friendly. A very nice pint of proper bitter beer too! Obviously, highly recommended!

Geweldig traditionele Engelse pub met overnachting in nieuw gerenoveerde kamers en badkamers . Schoon . Wij reisden met een groep van 8 met old timers die daar op het parkeerterrein veilig stonden geparkeerd. Diner was erg lekker , wel heel grote porties . Heel gezellige sfeer . Top accommodatie.

Great food (massive portions and amazing quality), fantastic service and a welcoming atmosphere. We had a few children with us and they had a great time outside after the meal on the slide and swings, and we all enjoyed saying hello to the variety of animals (loving the goats).

Lovely scenery. Fantastic food. Kids play area. Owners are really nice friendly people.

A little gem in the peak district. The hotel and pub are welcoming and friendly with excellent decor, food and drink. They even had lots of hike routes on their brochure, so you don't even have to jump in the car to get somewhere for a walk. After walking 10 miles in the rain, the crackling fire in the pub and modern room were such a comfort to return to. Huge portions of locally sourced food, and owner Ian even gave us a tour of their kitchen garden. Would highly recommend!

Didn’t expect driving down the country narrow lanes to find such a great place, Not just a pub , but restaurant & B&B with a fantastic outdoor beer garden with a well accommodated park for children, farm animals , fish pond & rabbits in their enclosures. We stayed over for the night , room was great and both evening meal & breakfast was absolutely delicious.All staff was attentive. Would highly recommend a visit.

Excellent stay in a lovely room.eberything was just perfect. The meals were all great and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Couldn't give a better review.

Food prices are a little bit too expensive

Beautiful food and perfect outdoor space , can highly reccommend :-) All the people who work there are so lovely and welcoming, the childrens menu is brilliant, will be back

Disappointed! Reserved a table for 5 for Sunday Lunch for the occasion of my son's birthday. 15 mile journey to be told there was no booking! No apology. The girl I spoke to on the phone surprisingly could not remember. The manageress/front of house actually refused to acknowledge my booking. Instead of offering us a drink until a suitable table became vacant was in fact, very condescending to the point of being reallyy rude and unprofessional. No customer care skills. I realised she was busy and under pressure but to speak to me as though I was a child ... unbelievable attitude!

Stayed in a Shepherds Hut at Little Mill. We had a lovely cosy night. The hut was very comfortable. We also enjoyed a lovely meal in the pub. Cheese and onion pie and a mixed grill, both amazing. Served by fabulous staff. Highly recommend this place.

Lovely dog friendly pub for a meal or a drink post a walk. Expanded a lot over the years & now has lots of outside space for seating, kids and great play area - garden. Superb Sunday lunches .. crackling is to die for!!

The place was recommended to us by a friend and although we only live less than 10 miles away we had never visited.As we like to eat out once a week we thought give it a try. What a beautiful,picturesque setting with working water wheel,superb views and lovely ambiance.Met on entry by lovely young lady who knew who we were and showed us directly to our table.Very knowledgeable young waitress who knew her stuff including the different types of beer (always important). Menu was comprehensive with great selection and not just the usual boring selection Mixed grill was massive,even had to take some home. We weren’t rushed and even on paying the bill we were given the background to the restaurant We will be back

Great place plenty for kids to enjoy good food and great views

Good food and beer. Lovely outside.

Such a wonderful stay here in the family deluxe room. The room was very clean, shower pressure wasn’t the best but it was still nice and warm. We stayed with our two dogs and were made to feel so welcome. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble. Housekeeping, bar and restaurant staff were just wonderful. Great set up if you have dogs there are beautiful walks right on your doorstep, after a wonderful walk we then headed back for a very hearty Sunday lunch. Slight noise at night from people leaving the pub at night that woke me up but considering where the bedroom was situated it was expected. Breakfast in the morning was plentiful and delicious with local produce again. We didn’t have any children with us but it would be perfect for family stays also as lots of outdoor activities to keep children occupied. My husband LOVED the local ale. We felt so relaxed on check out, could have easily stayed another night. We will definitely be back. Thank you! ☺️

Fabulous place, friendly staff, play area, river, goats, great Sunday roast and the best cheesecake EVER ! Will be back

We’ve eaten here twice now as I food stop after a walk in the area and have had a really great experience both times. The food has been fantastic both times, and the service top drawer. Very suitable for wet walkers and their muddy dogs!

Great meals at a reasonable price and good outdoor playground for children.

Spent the most romantic birthday weekend with my sexy handsome boyfriend at The Little Mill Inn. The room was so private and pretty with an amazing balcony and view of the river and water wheel. The Inn is really gorgeous with great staff and the most delicious meals. We really enjoyed our cooked breakfast and evening meals. The dogs had a great time too. We were made to feel so welcome. A great place to stay in the Peak District with lovely walks literally beginning right outside the Inn door. The weekend was so special for me and my gorgeous boyfriend we've booked again.

Had the most amazing one night stay. Not been for years so decided to have little road trip and stay over for a treat. Staff were really friendly and so welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. Food was just excellent, breakfast gorgeous, evening meal (Fish...
