The conservation village of Winster, located in the Peak District National Park's White Peak region, is a very picturesque place with a charming 17th-century market house at its centre and several large 17th- and 18th-century homes, many of which are three stories tall. Ginnels, or the alleyways that connect the three main streets of Main Street, East Bank, and West Bank, are definitely worth investigating. Winster's Morris dancers, the yearly Shrove Tuesday pancake race, the Wakes celebrations in June, and the Hidden Gardens of Winster celebration in July are all well-known attractions. A well-stocked, locally owned general shop with a Post Office is located in the settlement. There are two pubs, and they both provide traditional beer and food. For avid walkers and bikers, The Limestone Way runs along the edge of the settlement. Other nearby attractions include Bakewell, Matlock, Chatsworth House, and the Peak Rail Steam Train. Less than 5 miles from the village are the Tissington and High Peaks walking and cycling paths, which provide for excellent starting points for exploring the Peak District. Bike rentals are also available at both locations.

When we arrived the cottage hadnât been cleaned from the previous renters, but we spoke to Vicky, and the cleaners were there within 10 minutes. Seems there had been a little confusion about our arrival time! Storm in a teacup, and sorted out very efficiently. The views from the cottage were amazing, and the local walks equally so. The parking is a little tricky, and we ended up parking in the high street (not in the car park as recommended) and walking. This had the daily benefit of allowing us to stop at the excellent and friendly village shop after a day out (or the pub from a quick pint if it takes your fancy!). The cottage is well equipped and comfy and a great base to access local attractions. We spent wonderful days at Dovedale, Heights of Abraham and Alton Towers amongst overs. All within a 35minutes drive. Couple of points that may help improve the enjoyment for others⦠A lamp in the dining room would be great, as it is either full ceiling light or no light at all. We werenât sure what to do with rubbish, recycling or composting. Clearer instructions would be a really helpful. Oh, and look out for the hot air balloons, we saw them two days runningâ¦

Good sized accommodation with 3 decent bedrooms and good downstairs space. Limited outdoor space, but very easy access to a number of open areas within minutes of the front door, and a number of excellent walks ranging from 1 mile to 5-6 without having to drive anywhere. Only one bathroom / toilet is the only minor challenge. 2 very welcoming pubs in the village for refreshments / food and easy access to Bakewell, Matlock for alternatives Limited parking space, but good instructions provided as to where to leave the car once unloaded.
