“Pump cottage was lovely accommodation, but was slightly let down with one issue.”

The cottage is a 3 bedroom house which probably means when in use it will probably have at least 2 adults and 2 children as a general average. It's in the Peak District and it rains a lot. The cottage does not have a washing machine which was not really advertised very well, we were informed what was in the cottage, not what wasn't.

“Very cosy , characterful cottage in a lovely location.”

However, although it sleeps 6 people this makes the accommodation quite cramped. The details state that there is a sitting room with a dining area, but there is not a separate dining area and to sit 6 people around the table leaves very little room to move. We were also disappointed by only being supplied with a few logs for the fire, only 1 undersized towel per person, only 1 normal sized teatowel and 1 tiny teatowel and only 2 black bags for rubbish: all of which were inadequate for 5 people for a week's stay.

Would definitely book again.

The fridge in the kitchen needs to be bigger ( More door shelves and another shelf) Lovely cottage with character and lovely area, comfortable and cosy

Mrs Lewry July 2018

“A great little cottage with everything provided by the owners, a home from home, and in a lovely village with two pubs, both serving food.”

The cottage is in a fabulous location for visiting Chatsworth and Bakewell too. Would definitely return.

Mr Cross May 2018

“The cottage was very quaint but really too small for 6.”

The mattress in the attic was very uncomfortable. The place could do with a good clean. Not up to the standard expected.

- Mr Cross, May 2018

*** Owner Response *** Thank you for your comments. I am sorry to hear you felt the cleanliness of this property was not of a good standard on this occasion. We would have loved the opportunity to rectify any issues should they have been brought to our attention during your stay. Sykes owner relations

Mr Greer February 2018

“Pump Cottage is a cosy and characterful little cottage which sits on narrow lane in the centre of Winster.”

The useful and friendly village shop is 20 metres from the front door and the better of the two village pubs is another 20 metres away (beware: the pub is closed Mondays and Tuesdays). There are nice walks straight from the front door. The cottage can sleep 6 in 3 bedrooms. We were 2 adults and 4 children which was fine but it would probably be a bit too cramped for 6 adults. A wood burning stove in the living cum dining room works well and adds to the cosy charm. The compact kitchen was well stocked with utensils and worked well. The living room converts into a dining room when the folding dining table is extended and the room is a nice spot to relax at the end of a day’s walking. But it is compact so wouldn’t work so well if a larger party was intending to spend a lot of time indoors. The owner was very helpful and was kind enough to leave wood for the fire. The cottage makes a great base for exploring the Peak District and has a lovely vibe. We would definitely consider returning.

“A cosy cottage in a great location.”

Close to all the places we wanted to visit. We also loved the village shop, which was a great asset.

Mrs Gyimesi July 2017

“Maybe a few more towels and a iron would be helpful”

- Mrs Gyimesi, July 2017
Doy September 2016

“Very nice cottage and great location.”

Is quite small and quaint. But more reference to this should be made on booking as we have a few rather tall family members who struggled

Dr Pelech December 2015

“A lovely cottage in a beautiful area.”

The cottage was kept to a very high standard and had everything you could wish for. The owners were very helpful and gave us lots of information about the cottage and the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend.

- Dr Pelech, December 2015
Mr Frosst September 2015

“We all had a great time at Pump Cottage in Winster.”

This was a terrific location to explore the Peak District, with a store and pub within short walking distance, right on a walking trail, and a very short driving distance to many key attractions. Would definitely stay here again.

- Mr Frosst, September 2015
Mrs Kofmel May 2015

“Winster is a charming village and the area has alot to offer.”

We had a lovely holiday, the cottage was nice and warm, with plenty of hot water and in a great situation in the middle of the village. Had 2 good traditional pubs each serving tasty food.

Mr Vadher June 2014

“Pump Cottage is very cosy and homely, with original character but with modern facilities.”

My family of 3 generations enjoyed our stay very much. Furniture layout in the lounge/diner was great as it was suitable for TV dinner or sitting round the dining table. We enjoyed the long evenings in the cosy room.

- Mr Vadher, June 2014
Mr Harlow February 2014

“Very cosy and comfortable, especially with the log-burner going!”

The cottage has been cleverly modernised without losing its original character. The position of the cottage is very convenient - off the main road, with a very good local shop and post office at the top of the lane. The other end of the lane opens out to fields and there's a children's playground, a hit with the kids from 2 to 27! We all really enjoyed our stay and would thoroughly recommend Pump Cottage, Winster and Derbyshire.

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.
