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.

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!)

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.

Breathtaking Location

Old Millers Cottage did not disappoint. It was beautiful and quirky. We stayed for three nights, and it was comfortable. Check-in was easy, and Ant was quick to respond when we had a query.Slippers are needed downstairs as the floor can get chilly & the Wi-Fi kept dropping in & out, which was a little annoying. The cottage was clean, except for a little cleaning residue in the bath. Luxurious bed linen & the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed (we had to hunt for the chopping board but found it eventually). I would highly recommend if you love walking & we would definitely stay again.

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful area

Lovely place to stay, right next to some stunning walks, and some that are a short drive away. Would recommend taking slippers as the floor is tile downstairs and gets cold and slightly damp in evenings. The cottage itself is lovely and cosy when warmed up, extra blankets were also provided making it a bit cosier. We visited Thor's Cave which was a stunning walk with views at the top, and there's a little tearoom nearby. That's only a 10 minute drive away from the cottage! If you have the windows open over night you can hear the stream which is quite relaxing, but you do get the sound of people in the morning as it's the central spot for the walking route (it's not to bad, just something to bear in mind if you like windows open). Overall lovely stay.

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.
