Lovely and clean and warm for November nights . Mattresses were a bit soft but thatâs personal preference rather than a Criticism . Storm Bert was noisy but enjoyed our stay despite the weather . Local Italian restaurant was amazing and horse and jockey pub was good too.

The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and found the house/cottage a very relaxing place to return to after exploring the wonderful area. One thing, the address given just says Buxton with no mention of Tideswell, though the postcode is correct.

Milford House is extremely well placed in Tideswell - a few mins walk to the local co-op which was surprisingly well stocked, as well as the fabulous bakery next door. The kids loved going and choosing a cake each to take out for the day's picnic. Lots of other things/amentiies going on in the village too. Milford House itself was brilliant - clean and extremely well equipped to a high end standard. The beds were very very comfortable and everything worked without any issues. There were helpful instructions on how things worked, as well as local places to visit and eat. Parking was easy all week - we never had any problems getting a spot outside the cottage despite it being half-term and a bank holiday weekend. The cottage was peaceful and spacious. We would definitely return to Milford House were we to holiday in the Peak District again.
