“If you have difficulty walking up hill or have a large car, this is not the cottage for you.”

The cottage itself is superb with a wonderful garden to relax in with amazing views. However the parking is restricted and on a hill with roadside parking up a further hill. The old bowling green pub only opens at the weekend but the miners standard at the top of the hill does fabulous food and is popular so you need to book.

“There was no drying machine - as this is a walking area which is frequently wet, a drier would be expected and is usually provided in rental properties.”

We were surprised to be asked to dispose of recycling! In the cottage rented the following week, the owners dealt with recycling

“Walton Cottage is excellent, spotlessly clean and very comfortable with everything you need for a great break.”

Jean and Roger are brilliant hosts and take great care to ensure that you have everything you need for a lovely stay.. They took time to make sure that we were aware of local road works so we didn’t have long diversions, which was very helpful. The beds are really comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the open fire was enjoyed and made chilly evenings outside, warm and cosy inside. The central heating and hot water were set so the cottage was warm and there was always plenty of hot water. The garden and views were delightful and just the right size. Overall I could not recommend the Cottage more highly.

Mrs Mercouris July 2018

“Sykes made the booking process straightforward and automatically debited monies when they were due which was helpful.”

I loved Walton Cottage. It was perfect for our stay; peaceful and quiet, very clean, well equipped and ideally situated near Matlock. The cottage's owners were reassuringly available (living nearby in the village) but at the same time the cottage felt like 'ours' for our week there. I miss it already!

Mrs Pugh June 2018

“Walton Cottage is a delight.”

The owners have gone to great lengths to ensure that it really is a home from home. Overall it's exceptionally clean, very well appointed and extremely comfortable whilst retaining the character of a traditional Peak District cottage. We were particularly impressed by the cosy, comfortable lounge, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and excellent shower but the real highlight was the charming garden where we could enjoy our breakfast and our G & T's(not at the same time!) whilst enjoying the terrific views of Winster and beyond. Winster itself is a small and friendly village that has two excellent pubs and a very useful village store. It's very close to Matlock where you'll find a plethora of shops including a large Sainsburys. This was our first trip to the Peak District and we found it really easy to drive to the major attractions and particularly recommend Haddon House, Buxton, Bakewell, Dove Dale and the easy cycle tracks which have been created along disused railway lines. There's so much more to explore and we will most certainly visit again and hope to be blessed again by glorious weather! Very many thanks to to our hosts, R & J, who really have thought of everything!!

Mrs Mccree June 2018

“Never stayed in such a spotless and well organised cottage before!”

Really great.

- Mrs Mccree, June 2018
Mrs Lee May 2018

“Well equipped, clean and very comfortable cottage.”

Winster is a lovely quiet village with an excellent community shop.It is an ideal location within easy reach of Bakewell, Matlock, Dovedale and Carsington Water, and is on the bus route between Bakewell and Matlock. There are good walks from the cottage.

- Mrs Lee, May 2018
Mrs Ryder April 2018

“Walton Cottage was just as advertised - a lovely, cozy cottage set in the middle of a beautiful, but relatively unknown Derbyshire village that is in itself a must see if you are in the area.”

The cottage has a lovely terraced garden in back from which you have wonderful views of the Derbyshire hills. The cottage is meticulously maintained and scrupulously clean while at the same time being very much in character. Roger and Jean made an effort to help in any way giving us ideas for pubs, places to go and even extending an invitation to a local meeting on the customs and traditions of Winster! We would highly recommend the cottage and the village to all those planning a trip to Derbyshire!

- Mrs Ryder, April 2018
Mrs Butler September 2017

“Lovely, cosy, very well-appointed cottage in a picturesque and interesting (but not touristy) village, and good value for money.”

- Mrs Butler, September 2017
Beard August 2017

“Beautiful cottage in a stunning little village, we did not know what to expect but it was absolutely perfect.”

The owners were there to meet us and show us around and were lovely hosts.

- Beard, August 2017
Mr Wilson August 2016

“The parking at the front of the cottage could be a problem for anyone with a larger vehicle than say a Ford Focus.”

Also, if you do not park correctly it can cause an obstruction to the neighbouring properties access as the space is quite tight. Apart from that excellent residence.

- Mr Wilson, August 2016
Ms Davey July 2016

“The location was beautiful, really picture post card and it was easy access to visit the surrounding areas.”

The owner met as at the cottage and explained where everything was and how it worked. The cottage is in an excellent location and was so clean.

- Ms Davey, July 2016
Mrs Goulding June 2016

“We loved the village of Winster, it was so friendly and so close to all the other villages, so there was not loads of driving.”

The cottage is an absolute delight - a real home from home. The garden is so pretty with views in every direction. The owners can be very proud of Walton Cottage.

- Mrs Goulding, June 2016
Ms Johns February 2016

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.
