Been here a few time now and always enjoy ourselves. Great guides, really put in the effort to make the visit special which is appreciated with children. They sometimes have there own flour for sale and recipes. I like the collection box at the end with the bell ringing for money put in (gold coins make it ring loudest ~ so the sign says). Super place would recommend a visit.

Lots to see and do. Great parkland to walk through, formal gardens are limited but nice enough but the house is well worth a visit. The story of Bess of Hardwick is brought to life throughout the house and what an amazing story it is.Nice cafe in the courtyard asking with the usual National Trust so 3 and second hand bookshop.

Very cute small site..small and personal..all staff hands on and friendly. Very good with my kids ....helped them with the quiz sheet. Parking next to it in the lane. Toilet available. See working mill get a tour and buy their flour. Farmers wife had left some cakes eggs etc for sale in the field at the back of the mill with a honesty box so we bought some yummy flapjack to have with our picnic which we had up the road at Hardwick Hall , which is also NT and hardwick old hall also next to it , owned by EH but free to NT members.

Lots to explore around the estate, with miles of walks through woods, fields and lanes, differing scenery through the seasons. There are entrance fees or car park fees depending on where you go, although free for National Trust members. Get your boots on and go explore before you hit the cafe

Nicely restored small mill. The tour we had with Mick was excellent – and he himself is an experienced miller, who mills flour at Stainsby when it's operational. Just don't set too much store by all the English phrases he claims come from milling: reputable websites usually say that the origins of phrases like “rule of thumb” are not 100% clear.

Had a guided tour of mill, unfortunately the mill wheel is under repair and not currently working which means actual milling is not possible at the moment. Very informative and pleasant guide. Lovely historic building well worth a visit on way to Hardwick Hall

Sitting at the main entrance to Hardwick Hall, it is worth a visit to the mill if you are passing. Plenty of parking down a lane and a short walk to the mill, I'd recommend taking a tour with one of the guides who will show you round and explain the history and the workings of the mill. Currently not working but hoping to fix the problem and be able to make flour again soon. No guide book but there is a bit in the Hardwick Hall guide book and you are free to look around. Free to National Trust members, small fee for non members. There are a few stairs to climb

A wonderful old mill with a great deal of history, we were guided around the mill by a very knowledgable and informative National Trust volunteer, who covered every aspect of the history and workings of the mill through the ages. Well worth a visit
