  • "Excellent property, we went there after a last minute change of our plans."

    Quiet location but very easy access to the village and its well stocked community shop. Great walks from the door. Spacious and well appointed. Only improvements would be better pillows on the bunk beds and also a bath mat . Thankyou

    It was attractively decorated and retained its character. The only issue we had was with the parking. We found parking at the cottage very tight. We parked on Main Street which was not a problem.

    The only improvement would be a washing machine but not a major issue. The property was clean and tidy. The toy cupboard was extremely useful, keeping our 3 year old granddaughter occupied. Would definitely visit again and happy to give it a top class rating.

  • "We found this property when we were looking for a last minute getaway to the Peaks and it did not disappoint."

    The cottage is just beautiful and set in a perfect location, a stones throw from the village shop and local pub. The cottage itself was beautiful and clean and a very good size. This was very well catered for children too with booster seats and lots of games, which we enjoyed in the evenings. The cottage is set a 30 second walk from a small playground and also includes parking for 1 car, although probably more suited to a small car due to the narrow lane and turning. Overall, we had a very lovely stay here and wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

    Dear Natasha We're so pleased to hear that you all had a lovely holiday at Daisy Cottage and that the children enjoyed the toys and park across the lane. Thank you so much for your review, we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards Sharon and Mark Heaven Property Owner

  • "Cottage is largely as described, of good size and located in a nice quiet village."

    There are lots of books and games to keep kids entertained. The cottage was clean on the surface but not been thoroughly cleaned as lots of cobwebs and items under furniture etc. The bathroom window and 1 bedroom window catches were broken and could not be closed making those rooms cold. The property is damp which has a lingering smell and black mould can be seen on some cushions. The main bedroom has no blind and the curtains do not fully cover the window. There is a stairgate at the top of the stairs but not one at the bottom. The cottage lacked essentials such as bathroom soap and spare bin bags. 1 sofa is particularly uncomfortable as you always fall into the middle. Bin day is wrong in the guestbook so we missed putting the bins out. Could be lovely but needs some running repairs.

    Thanks for your very thorough review,we rely on guests feedback to keep our cottage at a high standard for our guests, as you can judge from our overall satisfaction rate to date of 4.6.Really pleased you found it as described & that the children’s amenities were appreciated & the wonderful village.We clean the property ourselves as we prefer not to rely on third parties,it helps us keep track of repairs.I am very surprised therefore that there were cobwebs,though it is possible that these are new cobwebs,a sign of nature rather than a lack of cleanliness.The cottage had been unoccupied for a week before you arrived. We will keep looking for & removing cobwebs in the future. We keep two of the windows open on the smallest setting to allow a flow of air through the cottage, this keeps the possibility of condensation forming on the 17c cottage stone walls. We have never had any feedback that this has caused guests to feel cold.There is some old mould on one of the cushions in the master bedroom, this is a very old mark,mould is impossible to wash out, the cushion in question is a lovely window seat offering soothing views across the dale & is washed regularly.Blinds or curtains - personal preference,as we have never had such feedback,we will now consider fitting blinds.Spare bin liners are under the sink along with other amenities such a washing up liquid,dish washer tablets. The white sofa should be OK if you keep plumping up the cushions,it is a bed settee in case guests want to have friends or family over,so naturally not as comfy as the new one opposite but again this is the first time this issue has been raised so we will consider a replacement. The bins are not collected by the council,we remove them after each visit,so no need to worry about that. I have to say you have raised some thoughts for us,but I have to disagree with your final comment,this is a beautiful, well maintained cottage that we love,located in a beautiful village in the peak district. Thanks. Property Owner

    Owner came next day to clean , which should have been done ready for our stay , no excuse for it not being clean . The smell was in the carpet which never went away ,it was so bad it made us feel sick. Consequently spending very little time in the cottage . Owner never followed up to see if the smell had gone , we got the impression she didn't care how it had affected the start of our holiday . . I would recommend staying in the village , it is a lovely place to go for walks and explore the surrounding area . I have photographs of the mould on the skirting boards.

The parking was tight but we got our estate on with relative ease, some patience required at first but as the days went on it became second nature. The park being so close was great with a toddler - we even made friends with a local cat, which we named park cat.

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Daisy Cottage."

    It was very clean, bed comfortable and great shower. The cottage is in a nice little village with a great community shop just a minutes walk up the road. There are two pubs, the Old Bowling Green, which is lovely, and does food (at the time we stayed) on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but take away only. Which we tried and enjoyed. The other pub The Miners Standard, is up the hill about a 10 minute walk and did good food too. Both pubs made us welcome. The cottage has a large selection of games, books, toys, plenty of towels, a little courtyard garden out back and parking out front. I noted that a lot of people commented on the parking being tight, and it is but we got used to it and I was able to park my Focus Estate in the parking space each night. Some lovely walks from the cottage too, right outside the door turn left. The accomodation was comfortable through out and we loved our stay. Its located for easy access to the rest of the Peak district and I believe the bus also travels through the village, but we used our car.Great communication from the owner before arrival, helpful suggestions on area and a welcome bottle of wine and cake, very appreciated. Kitchen has lots of utensils. Great stay.

  • "We had a wonderful stay - 2 adults, 2 children (2 & 5 years old)."

    I researched and deliberated but super glad on the choice. The location is idyllic, quiet and lovely. Local shop has everything you need - we did a click & collect at Matlock for main supplies. The little park/playground is fab which is opposite the cottage. The house itself is very cosy but spacious - has all the bits you need. The children loved the toys. There is absolutely everything from toys, books, games, smart tv, comfy beds and kitchen utensils. I was grateful there was a bed guard for the lower bunk. Heating is efficient and quick to warm up (shower also amazing). Overall the cottage felt homely as soon as we walked in. The local pub (Bowling Green) has great food and it is possible to walk to the other pub (Miners Standard). We went to the Tram Museum, Heights of Abraham, Gulliver's Kingdom and Matlock Bath - so plenty to do with kids. There are also some lush walks but with a toddler this wasn’t possible for us. The parking is tight but if you drive past the cottage there a turning circle and you can then reverse in. It’s possible to park on main high st and just walk down lane if you have a larger car. I would not hesitate in rebooking - we all had a brilliant time.

    This one is up there with the best, get it booked you wont regret it. Overall very good and I would book again. However Some indication of just how awkward the parking is at the property should be mentioned . I struggled to get a Mazda 6 into the parking area, and after the first day started leaving it on the High Street and walking down, anything bigger than a small SUV would be a tight fit. anyone arriving in the dark would should watch out and get someone to guide them into the bay Best bet would be to unload and then move car to High Street, which is free parking anyway and is only a 100yds away from the property. This by the way wouldn't stop me from booking here again, it,s a negative, but a very small one.

    So pretty. The owner Sharon provided everything you could ever need. The children were so happy with the huge number of toys and books for them and the bedroom was set up beautifully for our little boy. The park is so close as well and a really lovely one too. There was also a baby carrier, stair gate and changing mat in the house laid out ready ....literally everything we needed for the kids which made it much easier for us. The cottage is beautifully decorated and in such a great central location. We were able to get to lots of places including family in Nottingham in less than an hour. Further to previous comments we have seen about the parking at the front of the house...we parked our very long Passat estate easily in the space! Reversing in is the key and knowing how to park! The village of Winster is really lovely to stroll around. The houses are all in beautiful stone and lots of little lanes and pathways. There are footpaths straight from the house into stunning fields and countryside. We also had a meal at The Miners Standard up the hill which was really yummy. We will definitely stay here again in the future when visiting family and the Peak District. Thank you Sharon for the lovely cake and wine on our arrival too. We give Daisy Cottage 10/10.

  • "Cottage was clean and comfortable - very well laid out."

    However, the listing claimed off-street parking. This is quite misleading as the walled space at the front of the cottage was far to small for our Skoda Octavia Estate. The space would probably be OK for a small car but even that would need to be parked carefully as the uneven entry might damage underneath. We parked on-street in the village and in fairness there was always somewhere to park there although I am sure the locals are not too happy about visitors parking where they might want to park! We always look for cottages with off-street parking and this would have been a deal-breaker for us had the listing been more accurate hence this posting that might warn other visitors of the potential problem. Other than this the area is beautiful, quiet and picturesque. Plenty of walking and great pubs such as The Druid in nearby Birchover within walking distance. The Miners Standard was a good drinking den but we were not impressed with the food so probably better to avoid. Matlock Bath Hotel Spa was a disappointment after we booked a morning Spa there so do not expect a lot.

    We both suffered from aches and pains in the day time due to the mattress. Also, we didn't think the sofa's were comfortable.Although towels were provided they were not pleasant to use. They were certainly not washed with conditioner or fluffed in a tumble dryer. However, we think it is a beautiful cottage and was surprisingly spacious. It was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. We were very grateful to find a pint of milk in the fridge, some delicious biscuits and beers. It is perfectly located for local attractions. Although there is parking at the front of the cottage (and we were given instructions re the turning space at the end of the lane) it is very difficult to park unless you have a small car.

    Thank you for your feedback. We very much appreciate our guests feedback and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay, thank you for your very positive feedback overall. Regarding the issues raised we are sorry for any inconvenience caused. Unfortunately just prior to your visit we discovered that the humidity extractor fan in the bathroom was not functioning. In old stone walled cottages humidity from showers and baths quickly condenses onto cold walls. To try and control the humidity before we could arrange for the extractor repair we left the bathroom window fixed open by approximately 1.25cm. We have now arranged for the bathroom humidity extractor to be repaired or replaced in time for our next guests arrival. Property Owner

    The whole experience was a dream, booking was easy, the owner was very helpful sending us great information prior to our visit to help us make the most of our short break. Daisy Cottage itself is a slice of Derbyshire heritage, cosy welcoming and very well equipped. Our children loved the children's books, toys and bath toys. We found the wifi to be rapid, useful for all our devices and the cottage had everything we could have possible wanted. Granddad loved the wood burner! Winster is a beautiful Derbyshire village full of interesting nooks and crannies and the National Trust's first property purchase in Derbyshire. We ate out at both the Bowling Green and the Miners Standard, both very delightful but very different, we would recommend the Miners Standard for children and we took over the bar. We explored some of the area, taking a lovely walk (to a fantastic pub) to the nearby village of Birchover and the Nine Ladies Standing Stones. We visited Matlock and Bakewell, both beautiful, bustling market towns. Only one complaint from my family - we were only there for a weekend but we will definitely be back!

Electrical fault with bathroom extractor fan notified to owner by email (no mobile phone reception in cottage) but no response or acknowledgement from owner.

  • "The cottage was lovely, quirky and quaint but well laid out, with good facilities and extremely comfortable and cosy."

    I loved the log burning stove!! The village is picturesque with easy walks all around and though the location is very quiet, the village shop was 1 minute walk away and the pub 2 minutes away, making it an ideal hidey hole to have a relaxing weekend away...I will go back for a week next time!

About the location

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.
