“Lovely cottage”

We had a warm welcome from the owner who showed us round this lovely cottage. The furnishing are all excellent quality as are all the utensils and crockery in the kitchen. There is a nice conservatory looking out into a private garden. Spotlessly clean and within an easy walking distance to Bolsover Castle which we would recommend. Also, only 5 miles from the Airavana flight simulator experience, something else we highly recommend.

“A lovely cottage, with very nice furnishings which were very comfortable and a good kitchen with quality kitchenware and utensils.”

Everywhere was spotlessly clean. There is an excellent conservatory which looks out onto a private garden with lots of birds visiting. Altogether an excellent cottage in which to stay, we definitely recommend it.

- Mrs Miners, August 2019
Mr Oconnor July 2019

“The property is excellent .”

No problems whatsoever. However the reason I would not recommend you....is your refusal to accept a £ 25 voucher ! The person I dealt with last year when I booked it was in my view very unhelpful regarding the voucher...despite it being a 2 week booking ! I can easily afford £25...but loyalty counted for nothing.

- Mr Oconnor, July 2019
Mrs Steyn July 2019

“Get to get into town.”

Never and David were very friendly and helpful. Bolsover is so lovely and not to far from any were . So was a brilliant base.

- Mrs Steyn, July 2019
Mr Naylor July 2019

“The bungalow is well equipped and provided fully for our needs.”

Mrs Andrew April 2019

“The cottage is lovely and spacious and the furnishings and contents are of a high quality.”

The kitchen is well equipped with a large fridge and freezer. A large conservatory leads onto a lovely garden with lots of bird feeders that entice plenty of different varieties of birds. We even saw a hedgehog and a squirrel. There is plenty to do around the area and Bolsover is a small town but has most things you need. There are plenty of supermarkets a short distance away and some lovely pubs not too far away. The hosts are friendly and helpful. I would recommend this cottage as it is home from home with plenty of space and everything you need to enjoy your holiday.

It is well equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine etc and has a beautiful garden and is close to some lovely dog walks. It is also within walking distance to shops, take aways, restaurants and pubs and Bolsover Castle. The property has everything you need and the owners kindly leave wine, milk, coffee and tea, which is really appreciated after the journey there. The shower is great and doubles as a Steam Room, so enhances the relaxing break. It is a real home from home and highly recommended.

Mrs Grant September 2016

“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.

- Mrs Grant, September 2016
Miss Hughes August 2016

“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.

- Miss Hughes, August 2016
Mrs Rowe August 2016

Mr Alflatt July 2015

“This cottage was excellent, there was everything you needed and more.”

We used the cottage as a base to visit Derbyshire, but if you just wanted to stay in during the day, there is everything you could possibly want. The conservatory was lovely to sit in and read.

“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.

- JaneandBobby, August 2014
Mrs Edwards July 2014

- Mrs Edwards, July 2014
Mr French July 2014

“Delightfully relaxing.”

Good base for exploring. Accommodating and genial hosts. Excellent accommodation. Plenty of local areas for dog walking. This holiday wouldn't have worked if the dogs had been stressed, but they weren't as the garden area was a lovely retreat haven for them and they enjoyed their interaction with the hosts own dog. Also enjoyed the bird watching sessions and benefited from the host's bird knowledge base.

- Mr French, July 2014

“The beauty of the countryside and the friendliness of the people of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.”

“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.

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!

“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.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, January 2012
paukei November 2011

“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.

- paukei, November 2011

“Retreat of excellence”

Millers Retreat is an excellent cottage. More than we could have hoped for. We only stayed for one week but would have loved to have stayed for a month. Its a beautiful cottage, there is nothing negative to say about it and the owners were really nice and friendly.We loved the garden with all the birds visiting. We were within a couple of minutes walking distance of the local shops and the castle which was really worth a visit. We could buy everything we needed locally. We need not have left the location at all and some days we didn't go too far. We would love to go back for another visit and I hope that we will soon. All in all one the best holidays that we have had.

“The cottage was excellent, furnished & fitted out to a high standard.”

The owners were very pleasant, sociable people and made us feel welcome. Outside, the garden was completely private, being surrounded by trees. Also, sitting on the patio in the morning, watching the many varieties of birds feeding was most enjoyable. To sum up - the best cottage we have stayed at and we will be going back.
