  • "Lovely stone cottage with far reaching views and the sound of sheep and chickens from the window."

    Clean and recently renovated. Comfy beds and sofa. Lovely over-bath shower with plenty of hot water. The cottage warms up quickly when needed. Points to note: parking directly outside the property is up a narrow, steep road. Luckily we only had a Fiat 500 but if you have a larger car I would not advise going all the way to the cottage, as the road gets narrower. Access to the garden is up steps via the snug, not the kitchen, so bear that in mind if using the snug as a third bedroom. The Jack and Jill bathroom worked for us as it was just me and my adult kids. You just have to remember to lock and unlock both entrance doors before and after using. The village is absolutely beautiful. The pub closest the cottage is not open Mon-Wed (ie when we stayed!) but the other pub is still walking distance away and food was delicious. Local ale brewed ten minutes away from the pub. Village shop open 8-6 every day and well stocked. Lots of lovely places to visit and take aways in Bakewell and Matlock within 10-15 mins drive. A peaceful break in a charming little cottage in a charming village in a beautiful area. It was interesting to read about the history of the village in the book on the lounge table - every shop you can imagine and over 20 pubs at one time!

    Thanks for the very kind review - we’re really glad that you enjoyed your stay. The cleaners just let us know that you left some shoes behind. You can contract the guest services team to arrange their return. (Email address is in the information pack.) On parking - anything up to and including a transit van can make it to the house!

Your home away from home

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

WINSTER

Bakewell 6 miles; Matlock 4.5 miles.

The conservation village of Winster is situated within the White Peak area of the Peak District National Park and is an extremely pretty place, with a charming 17th century market house at its centre, and other imposing 17th and 18th century houses, many three storeys high. The three main streets - Main Street, East Bank and West Bank are interconnected by alleyways known as ‘ginnels’, which are well worth exploring. The village of Winster is famous for its Morris dancers, the annual Shrove Tuesday pancake race, Wakes festivities in June, and the Secret Gardens of Winster event in July. Within the village there is a well-stocked, community-owned general store incorporating a Post Office. There are two pubs, both serving food and traditional beer. Bakewell, Matlock, Chatsworth House, and the Peak Rail Steam Railway are all nearby and, for keen walkers and cyclists, The Limestone Way runs along the edge of the village. The Tissington and High Peaks walking and cycling trails, with bike hire available, both lie less than 5 miles from the village, a wonderful base for exploring the Peak District.
