Where to stay in Millhouses
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Rooms are few here. Most visitors base themselves toward Ecclesall or in central Sheffield and ride out to the Sheaf bank, where the streets around the Church of St Oswald keep the calm, low-rise feel that has always defined Millhouses. The River Sheaf marks the edge.
Guest houses and small stays appear along the routes toward Ecclesall, with the Church of Holy Trinity an easy walk from most of them.

About Millhouses
What are the main landmarks in Millhouses?
Two churches carry the listings. The Church of St Oswald and the Church of Holy Trinity are the suburb's named heritage buildings, and behind them stands the older marker: the Ecclesall Corn Mill, the mill whose hamlet grew into Millhouses. The River Sheaf runs past.
Sheffield keeps its grander monuments elsewhere, so the pull here is the mill ground and the river line rather than any single facade.
What is the history of Millhouses?
Millhouses began as a hamlet. Houses gathered around the Ecclesall Corn Mill on the northwest bank of the River Sheaf, and that small milling settlement is the origin the City of Sheffield later absorbed as its built-up edge reached Ecclesall. Ecclesall ward holds it.
Both churches stand among the streets that came later, the Church of St Oswald and the Church of Holy Trinity marking a suburb that grew outward from a single working mill.
Where is Millhouses?
The suburb occupies the city's south-western portion, sitting on the northwest bank of the River Sheaf inside Ecclesall ward.
