Booked this as a last minute escape from building work for the weekend. Richard was incredibly friendly and quick to respond. The cottage is in an idyllic location with incredible views from the back of the house, and the inside is just as good! Every room was immaculately clean, and furnished perfectly to create a lovely, cosy home for our family. The attention to detail was second to none, and Richard had even left us a fantastic welcome hamper which started our Friday night perfectly! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to get some much needed rest and relaxation. Plenty to do in the local area for adults and children of all ages. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for a brilliant weekend!

The Old Mill Workers Cottage
Milford | Derbyshire
A delightfully quaint two bedroomed, listed, stone terrace cottage in the World Heritage site of the Derwent Valley Mills at Milford. A former millworker’s cottage built around 1850 on the banks of the River Derwent and overlooking woodland and hills. Fronting a street scene of listed cottages providing a quiet neighbourhood with a bygone feel.

The space
Beautifully restored, this cottage has a double and twin rooms, bathroom, dining room and lounge with log burner. Easy walks to pubs and restaurants. This cottage came online in December 2022 so everything is brand new. You enter off the quaint street scene into a cosy lounge with log burner and large comfy sofa. Adjoining is the modern kitchen with oven and hob, fridge freezer , washing machine. Leading off the kitchen down some quite steep steps is the private yard which is a perfect sun trap.
Going up the original stone stairs you find a dining room filled with vintage furniture overlooking the River Derwent and Chevin hills. On this floor is the twin room with its black iron beds, original fireplace and sash window. Also the traditional bathroom suite is on the first floor featuring bath and shower over. Finally up some steep original stairs tucked away on the 2nd floor is the master bedroom with its double bed. We’d advise this room for mobile adults only.
You will have the whole of this three storey cottage to yourselves. There are one foot thick walls between neighbours in this row, so no sounds from next door.
