The cottage smells musty. Full of spiders and I found a little shrew that had expired on the kitchen floor when I came back one evening. I left it for the owner. Will not be re- booking.

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!)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Best location ever?

Really nice stay in this little gem. Very compact, especially downstairs but perfect for 2. The river Dove is immediately outside the front door as is the beautiful footpath through to Dovedale. The George pub in the next village has Michelin standard food - well worth a visit.
