“For a holiday cottage that accepts ...”

For a holiday cottage that accepts dogs, this is not only the best we have stayed at but far exceeded our expectations. The cottage is immaculate and the garden exceptional. We particularly loved the vast variety of birds and also the delightful hedgehogs that visited the garden each evening. The owners are very friendly and most considerate to guests.

“Millers Cottage was a delight. The ...”

Millers Cottage was a delight. The facilities provided were of exceptionally high standard and far beyond what we had expected. Longe and bedroom were extremely comfortable and the conservatory provided a wonderful place to sit and watch the wildlife activity in the private and peaceful garden. By far one of the best self catering cottages we have stayed in.

“The owner of the cottage was very ...”

The owner of the cottage was very friendly and took us around the cottage and explained everything we needed to know. The cottage was beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. The garden was secluded and we loved watching the birds from the conservatory every morning. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday this is the perfect place to stay.

“Millers Retreat is a 5+ star ...”

Millers Retreat is a 5+ star property with everything you need and more. The owners are friendly and helpful. The information folder in our opinion was limited, it had the basic information. What would have been nice, is some details on restaurants, pubs and take a way. It was advertised as wifi. It was extremely hit and miss, some times you had a good signal than nothing. The best signals come from properties around us. Because of the limited wifi connection maybe it should not be advertised as having it, as I was constantly using my mobile providers service, not what I had expected or paid for. The other thing we would like to add is a more detailed list of what Derbyshire sees as recycle. As there's appears to be different from other regionals in the Uk. Apart from the above, we truly enjoyed our stay, and would like to go back in the future.

“This is a wonderful place to stay”

My Husband and I had a lovely week in Millers Retreat. We were made so welcome by David and Beverley. The Cottage is immaculately clean and very comfortable. It is home from home in every way. The sun room is delightful and we enjoyed every morning watching the birds at the feeders. They even have binoculars and a bird book. The shower is a luxury you can sit down in it! You can have your very own steam room and plenty of hot water. We were lucky enough to have some sunshine and had the pleasure of sitting outside in the lovely garden. It is in a great location only 5 minutes walk to all the shops, restaurants and pubs. Bolsover Castle is a great place to visit and had a very good event when we were there. Nice little coffee shop too. Wetherspoons is a good pub. The food is actually pretty good for a chain and the drinks are cheap. We would highly recommend a stay at Millers Retreat.

“Even better than ever”

We have stayed at this property 4 times now as it is such a delightful place and we were thrilled to find it better than ever on our latest visit. There has now been a beautiful sun-room added which is superb for watching all the bird life in the garden or just relaxing. I can't fault this property, we have stayed in a few holiday cottages over the years (being senior citizens now) and this is the only one we have ever returned to. Excellent value.

“Most Enjoyable”

Miller's Retreat is by far the best equiped, and most enjoyable cottage we have stayed in. The accommodation was superb, the fixtures and fittings excellent and the garen somewhere we felt very happy to be in. Although we didn't get to meet the Lady of the House, we found the Man of the House exremely friendly and helpful all of whic added to the enjoyment of staing in this charming cottage. Its easy access to the countryside enabled us to appreciate the beauty of the Peak District.

“Superb holiday cottage”

We stayed here in March. This was our 2nd stay at Millers Retreat. The owners always make such an effort - nothing is too much trouble for them. The cottage itself is the best holiday cottage we have ever rented. Wonderful kitchen with all mod cons -3 tvs!!! Shower experience out of this world! Comfortable living area with lots of books & puzzles & games to enjoy, Beautiful bedroom large bedroom and a lovely warm cottage. The garden was perfect for our doggies and we could watch all the birds on the feeders from the large patio windows. We enjoy walking and there is so much to do in the area. Cresswell Crags, just down the road, is a delight. Poulter Country park, Teversal trails and many more walks close by. Thoroughly recommend Millers Retreat and hope we can visit here for many more years.

“Fabulous”

I have stayed here previously and had no hesitation in returning, it is a wonderful place to stay. The cottage is furnished to a high standard and is within easy reach of local amenities and excellent transport links. There is a lovely secluded garden should you get the weather to enjoy it. The owners are friendly but unobtrusive. I would highly recommend this property should you want to stay in this area.

Excellent holiday cottage, very high standards throughout. I have stayed there more than once and expect I will revisit again. Good access to road networks. Lovely garden (when weather permits) watch out for the sparrowhawk. The owners are friendly without interfering.

“Best self catering accommodation every stayed in.”

Owners very welcoming together with milk and wine in fridge etc. Very clean, warm and comfortable accommodation with pleasant garden. Amazing shower! Would definitely go again. Located close to Bolsover which had all the amedities we needed but not touristy. Close to Hardwick Hall and Chesterfield and not far to Bakewell and Chatsworth. Lovely countryside and scenery.

“Fantastic cottage.”

We had a lovely holiday in this cottage. The cottage was the best we have stayed in. It was clean, spacious, very well equiped with everything you could possibly need. The owners were very welcoming and friendly, but never intrusive. We took a young baby with us (4 months) and the cottage was ideal. Plenty of space for travel cot in the main bedroom. We picked the location as it was near the Sherwood Forest and enjoyed walking around this area. Found quite a few places we could visit and walk with a pram. I would definately recommend this cottage to others.

“great break”

We chose this property as it was convenient for visiting our son who was celebrating his 40th birthday that week. It was really wonderful with lots of little extra touches such as a box of tissues in each room and binoculars supplied to watch the varied birdlife in the delightful garden. The owners are really helpful and friendly, even bringing us some chopsticks and warming trays when hearing we were having our son and daughter in law over for chinese take-away. The cottage is in the town of Bolsover with its castle and is in easy reach of the M1. We had an excellent week there and would recommend it to anyone at any time of year.

“Unbeatable.”

We've stayed in many different self catering holiday cottages over the years, but I can't think of one better than Millers-Retreat. Well done to the owners for providing such a high standard. We will definitely be returning.
