Lovely little property, well appointed for two people. Surrounded by the sounds of the river and birdsong. It was our second stay and we plan to come again. I would recommend taking slippers for downstairs as it’s a bit chilly on the tiles whilst it’s still cold outside.

Cottage was perfect for our break in the peaks. Clean throughout, everything we needed in the kitchen. Very cosy lounge with very comfy sofa and chair. Heating set to perfection.Lovely hot shower and huge bathroom. Peace and quiet. Walks straight from the door. Pollys Cottage across the road for ice cream and pasties. Loved listening to the birds and river from our bedroom which had a comfy bed and soft linen. Host replied quickly on booking and sent information about stay through with instructions. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable long weekend in a beautiful location.

A wonderful few days' stay

A clean and cosy cottage in a beautiful location, perfect for exploring the peak district with walks right from the doorstep. Weather was not great but that did not stop us getting out and exploring the fantastic countryside. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Miller's Cottage.

Idyllic stay in cute cottage

We had spotted this cottage on previous walks on visits to the area and wanted to try it. Very well appointed and comfortable cottage in a lovely area. We will definitely come again. One minor suggestion would be that property gets a larger frying pan as the one provided is quite small (or you could take one along with you!)

Beautiful Peak District

Old Millers Cottage is delightful and is located in a superb position with excellent walks direct from the doorstep. Upon arrival we found the cottage to be clean, well presented and comfortable. This was our first holiday cottage rental and therefore unsure what to expect, it couldn't have been better. Thanks Ant.

Hidden little gem

What a fantastic little cottage..... Perfect location if you want to get away from it all & enjoy the peace and quiet. The cottage itself can not be faulted. Decorated to a high modern standard whilst keeping all the original features of this beautiful old building. Good communication from the owner, handover was a simple process. Cant wait to return.

Perfect Bliss

This tiny house is perfect for a short stay right by the river in beautiful Milldale. It is furnished in a sympathetic 1930's style but with large modern bathroom and everything you need in the kitchen. The old stone floor is a bit chilly but the warm slippers helped and the house warms up quickly. The setting is stunning; people are so friendly and you can walk along the river or up into the hills from the door. We loved it.

We had a lovely few days at Millers Cottage. Cottage was clean and check in was easy. Great location for walking. The water pressure upstairs was poor and the Wi-Fi unfortunately stopped working after the first day so we were completely off grid! Ant the host was quick to respond when we contacted him.
