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!)

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.

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.

The cottage was in a fabulous location, very clean and had everything you needed in it. It’s in the most beautiful hamlet, with so many lovely walks and pubs on route. I will be returning very soon. We couldn’t of had a better week, and it was so easy to book.

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.

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.

Old Millers Cottage was very cosy and quaint. All that was needed was there and it was in a lovely position close to river Dove and we could walk from the doorstop. It was very peaceful and quiet. Weather was not too bad a bit more sunshine would have been welcome!

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.

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.

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.

We loved our few days in Mill Dale. There are lots of beautiful walks from the doorstep. We are frequent visitors to the area but this was our first stay in Mill Dale...which can be busy during the day and is very quiet at night. It was great to be so close to the river... Just a shame that you couldn't see it from inside the house!

Sweet little cottage

Sweet little cottage

The cottage was comfortable and updated to a high standard, and Milldale was a pretty little hamlet with good walking nearby. Only issue was a musty smell because there's some damp in one corner. It's an old cottage, built into the hillside, so I think the owners have done their best to mitigate this. Also would suggest the addition of a small, wall-mounted microwave. But it was a lovely stay.

We really loved our time in the old miller's cottage, for the age of the property it was nearly immaculate and I don't envy whoever has to keep on top of all those spiders and their pesky webs. The cottage was very warm with the heating settings that had been left but we would recommend slippers for the tile floors downstairs. The decorations throughout are lovely and emphasise the cottages unique character. It loses a star for us on communication with the property owner when clarifying the check in time as this had changed from our original booking and for the size of the bed and doorway for the shower cubicle. My husband and I are both broad, tall-ish strong at 5ft6 my feet reached the end of the bed and my husband of 6ft2/3 had to curl up which is hard with his size and strength, the mattress was also uncomfortable for us but I think mattresses are a personal thing and not one size fits all it might be the dream for someone else. Neither of these things would prevent us from booking again or recommending the cottage to family and friends. We loved our stay for our minimoon. Thank you.

My wife and I had a very enjoyable relaxing few days between Christmas and New Year. The cottage is small but perfect for just the two of us to relax. You couldn't wish for a better location, right by the river and only a 20 min walk to a pub. Stunning country walks begin right on the doorstep - Thors cave, Dovedale...

We stayed Christmas Eve, Christmas day and Boxing Day and it was just magical. We loved it. The property is spotless and so cosy and warm (I was worried I’d be cold but definitely not) Listening to the river in the morning from the antique bed was something special and the location was quite unbelievable literally on the river side in the prettiest location. Really was perfect for me my hubby and our dog. I would fully recommend.

Wow! What a wonderful place to spend a few days exploring Dovedale and the surrounding area! Perfect location and great accommodation; a charming cottage, beautifully presented and thoughtfully equipped — right down to the miner’s lamp set to come on at dusk, just as you arrive back from a day walking! 10/10!

Beautiful location right next to the river. Wonderful walks right on your doorstep, some a lot more challenging than others, would recommend wearing proper walking boots. The property is very quaint, and has everything you need for your stay. Excellent host with good communication all through the process of booking. Would recommend a stay here.
