Ivy Cottage

A very comfortable cottage in a delightful village.

Beautiful views from the garden. Would be a good idea to find the cottage on foot first, as Winster is a maze of little roads and paths. Access by car for unloading only near the cottage is feasible, but there is plenty of parking elsewhere. Highly recommended as a base for walking in Derbyshire.

Lovely stone cottage in Peak District village of Winster with community shop, cafe and local pubs.

Excellent base for walking from the house and easy access by bus or car to nearby towns. Well equipped house for cooking. Very helpful owner who provided clear information.

We had a great few days in a lovely village setting.

The house was great, in an ideal location. Would highly recommend.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the enchanting Ivy Cottage in Winster, and it was truly a delightful experience from start to finish.

Nestled in the heart of this charming village, Ivy Cottage provided the perfect blend of comfort, tranquility, and rustic charm. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the cottage's idyllic atmosphere. Stepping inside, we found a warm and inviting interior that combined traditional features with modern comforts. The decor was thoughtfully curated, creating a cozy yet stylish ambiance that immediately made us feel at home. The cottage was impeccably clean and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights of our stay was the little garden, a private oasis where we could unwind and enjoy the serene atmosphere. We spent several evenings lounging at the table in the garden, soaking up the sun, and taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. It was the perfect place for outdoor dining. The location of Ivy Cottage was ideal for exploring Winster and the surrounding areas. The village itself is charming, with its historic buildings and friendly locals, and there are plenty of scenic walks and trails to discover nearby. We loved being able to stroll to the local pub and shop, both just a short walk from the cottage. Overall, our stay at Ivy Cottage was nothing short of magical. It provided the perfect setting for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway, and we left with wonderful memories that we will cherish for years to come. We highly recommend Ivy Cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in a beautiful and welcoming setting. We can't wait to return!

One of the best cottages we’ve ever been

Impeccably clean, cosy and inviting cottage.

A lovely welcome pack which includes decent red wine! Thank you Tom and partner. The twin bedroom bit small, storage is mostly in main bedroom. Main bedroom is spacy and comfy. Kitchen very good and clean, a bit rustic. Bathroom is brand new and fantastic. Views amazing, the Nature is breath-taking. As a birder, I was blown away by the variety of birdsong ! Lovely compact garden, but well kept. The veranda was wonderful, spent lots of time in there relaxing. If you want a high octane, extreme sport, theme park type holiday, this isn't for you. If you just want some me-time, to reconnect and recharge in peace and quiet, to get back to Nature, this is most definitely for you! One small advisory note- try to park the car in village main street if possible. (5 mins walk. ) The hill (West Bank) is alarmingly steep and very busy! Not at all quiet from a traffic point of view. Something which surprised us somewhat. Everything else is full on sleepy, however.

We had a lovely stay at Ivy Cottage and would definitely stay again.

Laura was very friendly and provided lots of useful information over email. We really appreciated how clean, comfortable and well equipped the cottage was and the views were stunning. The wood burner was really cosy and warmed the whole cottage. Worth noting for anyone tall that the ceilings are quite low downstairs - my other half is 6ft 5in and he did have to duck under the doorways and the main beam in the living room! Ceilings upstairs are much higher. Thanks again, Laura for a lovely holiday.

We really loved the cottage, which was tasteful, cosy and well-equipped.

Nicely positioned in the village - central, but v quiet, as up a (very steep!) lane off the street, with lovely views. Would definitely stay again.

A lovely, clean, warm and homely cottage.

It’s beautifully furnished with everything you could need provided. We would definitely stay at Ivy Cottage again.

We had a great time.

It was a wonderful place to stay. Clean and cosy. Well equipped and the welcome pack was lovely. Would recommend to anybody.

A lovely traditional Derbyshire cottage nestled on a hill with spectacular views across the village.

Tastefully decorated throughout, equipped with everything we needed including fun board games for the kids, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Location is excellent being only a short drive away from many attractions namely Heights of Abraham, Matlock Farm, Monsal Trail, Bakewell, Chatsworth House, Buxton and various country walks. Two pubs within walking distance and a small village shop - what more do you need on a holiday in Derbyshire?! Thank you Laura & Tom - we had a wonderful stay x

Very nice and well equipped cottage, ideal for 2 people but a bit snug for 4.

Access slightly problematic like many Winster cottages but reward is lovely views and setting We would go back

We loved the cottage, but as we’re in our late 70’s we found the pathway up to the property more of a challenge.

But it’s situated in a beautiful area, and we loved Winster, and once in the cottage and the garden, it was worth the climb.

It was lovely to find such a comfortable and pretty cottage at quite short notice.

We both loved the Derbyshire country side ands charming villages and towns. Se hope tp be able to come again.

Lovely, tastefully refurbished cottage.

We had a very comfortable week.

A superb cottage, can’t fault it, lovely welcome pack and communication from the owners.

Highly recommend and would love to return.

Lovely cottage in beautiful setting.

Freshly decorated with good quality furnishings, towels etc Let down by only one toilet roll left for family 4 for three days, no bin bags, no matches to light wood burner, no cafetière, no coffee pods )and note to purchase them from supermarket in nearest town) and no salt and pepper. If these things are not going to be provided (and at price of holiday let I would expect them) advance warning would be helpful.

Had a wonderful stay at Ivy Cottage.

Beautiful setting and everything you need for a relaxing break was right there. Thoughtful welcome pack on arrival and immaculately clean. Thanks Tom and Laura.

The closest parking is on a steep slope and the mentioned car park is further up the steep hill.

We found best parking in the village on the main street. The cottage,furnishings,facilities and welcome pack were super.

The kitchen was described as having a freezer but I couldn't find one.

The description about the location could have made it a bit clearer that it was up a very steep path from the road which would not be suitable for some people .
