About this property
Nestled in the heart of Castleton, in the Peak District, is this mid-terraced stone fronted property, Millstream Cottage. This character cottage is beautifully appointed throughout and is perfect for couples or small families wanting to explore this popular part of Derbyshire. Be welcomed into the sitting room on arrival, complete with a dining table, two sofas and an alluring woodburning stove set within a feature stone fireplace, perfect for curling up on a winter evening whilst catching up on your favourite TV shows. A low door leads into the fitted kitchen, appointed with a selection of modern appliances, crockery and cooking utensils to meet your culinary satisfaction while also housing a washing machine should you need it. A set of open plan stairs lead up to a mini landing area, with a charming king-size double bedroom at one side and a long twin room at the other. Boasting plenty of character, the ceilings have been designed to reveal the original beams with LED spotlights bringing a modern twist, while the original wooden floors will remind you of the age of this property. Outside you are treated to a stunning rear courtyard area with millstream water running through, providing the perfect spot to enjoy an evening drink on the decking or on the built-in bench with canopy over. The pretty and historic village of Castleton is home to a selection of independent shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy, as well as many Peak District delights with four underground show caves to be explored: Blue John Cavern, Speedwell Cavern, Treak Cliff Cavern and Peak Cavern. There are some spectacular walking and cycling opportunities towards Mam Tor, a landmark hill which is a popular hiking spot and is known for its striking valleys, as well as towards the ruins of Peveril Castle, which stands high above the village. Not far away are the delightful villages of Edale, the start of the Pennine Way, Hope and Hathersage with its seasonal outdoor swimming pool. For a change of scenery, you may consider a trip to the ever-popular Alton Tower’s theme park, which is roughly an hour’s drive from the cottage. With much to see and do from the doorstep, Millstream Cottage is an inviting escape for couples and families, whatever time of year.
The Peak District village of Castleton is nestled at the top of the Hope Valley, on the doorstep of some scenic walks. Castleton is well-known for its visitor caves and has a fabulous array of little gift shops, some food pubs and an excellent Visitor Centre with its small museum explaining life in the Hope Valley, plus the Christmas lights and festive activities are very popular during December.

Sitting out in the pretty patio area listening to the stream, ducks and birds in the morning and late evening while chatting with friends/ family is priceless!! Had a wonderful 2 night stay, great escapism getaway. Will definitely book again.

Highly recommend The George for food⦠Gorgeous cottage to come back to and only more sun would have improved the experience as little opportunity to enjoy the sun trap of a courtyard with little brook running through it. Cottage ideal for small families and couples or friends⦠Parking may not always be directly outside the door however plenty of nearby spaces available in and around the village. Thank you for a super stay!

Promises of a parking space and if not a parking pass. Asked for parking pass and was told it was no longer available. Parked outside the property up to the wall and got frowned at and a few head shakes, then moved to a different spot that the owner suggests in the info book to then get a note on my car one day and grief off a resident the next. The same resident said they had issue with the owner previously telling people they can park there when they canât. Itâs definitely not what you expect when away on a break with an young family and infact it ruined it for us as I donât like confrontation and Iâm a really easy going person but this tested me. As for the cleaningâ¦the cleaner needs sacking! They must just go in wipe the toilet and make the beds. The oven was filthy, the washing machine and dishwasher was even filthy to the point we didnât even want to use them. I removed the shower head for my 2 year old son to have a shower and the black grime that sat in the shower head holder was grim. The fireplace hadnât even been cleaned from the people before using the log burner. The towels had bleach stains on. Mould on the walls. It could be such a lovely place but it just needs more care and attention. Little things like toilet rolls and hand soap, I have never stayed anywhere where you arenât at least provided with hand soap in the bathroom, It costs nothing. Itâs not like thereâs loads of shops in the area where you can get this from either. Overall disappointing :(
