Description

Chimney Cottage is a charming pet-friendly cottage situated in the picturesque village of Winster in the Peak District.

It is newly renovated and boasts the excellent facilities and sublime countryside views that make it a perfect retreat for a family or group of friends looking for a getaway.

It is one of Winster’s oldest and quirkiest cottages and used to be the village’s sweet shop.

There is on-road parking directly outside the house.

Inside, you'll find a well-equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing home-cooked meals to be enjoyed together around the dining table.

Along with an oven, hob, and microwave, there are plenty of pans and other cooking utensils that take the pain out of cooking.

The inviting sitting room - previously the house’s stable block - comes with plenty of comfortable seating that you’ll enjoy sinking into, plus a smart TV.

It’s an enchanting space to unwind after a day of exploring or for a night curled up in front of the stove.

There is also a separate cosy snug with an additional smart TV - ideal as a second sitting room or for use as a children’s playroom.

There are plenty of children’s books and board games available, as well as some adults’ books.

Outside, the elevated private garden offers the chance to bask in the sun as you look over the sweeping countryside views with a drink in hand.

Once the sun sets for the night, the bedrooms will be inviting you for some rest - a double room, a twin room, plus a further day bed in the snug for a fifth guest.

A Jack-and-Jill bathroom serves the bedrooms - and offers a bluetooth speaker to play your favourite music or podcasts as you relax in the bath.

There is also an over-bath shower.

There is a separate downstairs cloakroom.

The excellent village shop and two village pubs are on your doorstep for any essentials and for dinner and drinks out.

Along with the dozens of beautiful local walking, hiking, and cycling routes, you can head out and about to Matlock to get the little ones excited to see some fascinating creatures at Matlock Bath Aquarium as well as the Matlock Farm Park, or get the adrenaline pumping on the family fun rides at Gulliver's Kingdom.

Just a short drive away, you can explore the magnificent Chatsworth House and have a go at escaping the Chatsworth House Maze, let the kids run wild through the Chatsworth Farmyard and Adventure Playground, or take a trip to the Heights of Abraham for breathtaking views of the Derwent Valley.

Further afield in Derby, visit the Derby Museum and Art Gallery for lots of fantastic exhibits, take a stroll through Derby Arboretum, which is famously the first ever British park, or enjoy the unique displays at The Museum of Making.

Sheffield, with all its cultural and shopping pleasures, is also close by.

Make amazing memories at Chimney Cottage, as the perfect base for exploring the beauty and charm of ther Peak District and beyond into Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and South Yorkshire

Such a lovely cottage, ideal for family of 5.

Amazing views and access to walks with two great local pubs and village shop. Would highly recommend really comfortable and cosy accommodation

A cosy characterful cottage in a peaceful location with spectacular views.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. As other reviews have mentioned, the approach by car is not for the faint-hearted, but we had no problems with our family car. A couple of suggestions for the owner... 1) Some under-cabinet lighting would be an improvement in the kitchen as the room lights are not particularly bright. 2) As we have found with many holiday rentals, the glassware, etc, is artfully displayed in the kitchen wall cabinets but leaving little cupboard space for food storage.

The cottage was beautiful inside and the views were stunning.

However, the parking was difficult. The space outside the cottage was taken by two cars, which made it nearly impossible to maneuver back down the hill to find alternative on-street parking.
