Riverside Cafe - Gradbach

I went on a 4 day Yoga Retreat. Firstly the setting was perfect. The staff were very friendly, helpful and provided some excellent tasty food. There are some excellent, albeit testing, walks which take you right into the Peak District with beautiful scenery and views. All round an excellent venue and great value.

Gradbach Mill was an amazing place to stay. I stayed with extended family (10 people) for 3 nights and apart from the wasps at this time of year (end of September), I don't have anything negative to say about the place. The rooms are nice and spacious. Kitchen is large with two fridges and plenty of kitchen ware to cater for a large group. The walks nearby are great however anyone who has difficulty walking or getting on in years may find the paths a struggle. My mother in law (70) struggled and she is a keen walker. The gorge itself is beautiful but very difficult and very slippy and I would not recommend it if you struggled on the paths to get there. Last mention is obviously the jacuzzi, it was the highlight of the weekend. We also went to the rose and crown pub for Sunday lunch and it was lovely. The landlady is a bit bonkers and I thought she was great. Worth going.
