Situated within the Peak District National Park is the conservation village of Winster - an extremely pretty place with a charming 17th Century market house at its centre. With a variety of other imposing 18th Century houses within the settlement - nearly all of which are three-storeys high - this is an incredibly elegant town. Just off this stylish main street, however, are a number of endearing little alleyways known locally as 'ginnels', which provide the village with a very charming atmosphere. Most famous for its Morris dancers, June Wakes festivities and its annual Shrove Tuesday pancake race, this is a fascinating place to visit to enjoy a number of past traditions. There is a well-stocked grocers within the village as well as a post office and gift shop and two good pubs which serve food and local beers.
Reviews
"We spent the weekend at Aunt Jane's for a family wedding. To start with, the location and views are beautiful. The cottage was lovely and clean, and so well equipped - even tea, coffee and biscuits were waiting for us in the kitchen. The owner stopped in and we had a nice chat, and she was on hand for any questions we had. My son was thrilled with the toys and games provided. Great wifi service as there is no phone service - however I liked having time away from my phone. We hope to return when the animals are there and I will definitely recommend"
"Aldwark near Cromford in the Peak District. Found cottage easily followed the instructions from the owners. Converted barn, clean, comfortable, and very well equipped. Jill and Mike friendly and helpful and the welcome tea, coffee and biscuits were very much appreciated. No Mobile phone signal for EE but my friend had signal for he company. Very good WiFi signal. Cottage situated within easy reach of of Chatsworth House, Abraham Heights, Cromford Canal, Crichton tram Village, Bakewell (very busy on Monday market Day) several Shopping outlets and some lovely tea rooms and craft Centres. Lots to do and see, we will be back to see more. Great place to stay."
"Fantastic two bedroom barn conversion, located between Ashbourne and Matlock. Fantastic for couple or small family with all amenities. Quiet location, ideal for walking and touring the Peak District."
"Fabulous cottage, the best equipped I have ever rented. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Located in a very quiet hamlet, but only ten minutes from Matlock Bath, great for all the local attractions. Would recommend totally. Be prepared, though, very poor phone signal and intermittent wifi if you can't live without that sort of thing! "
"The owners of this property live on site and were really helpful yet not intrusive. The rural setting is perfect."
"I almost don't want to say how good 'Aunt Jane's' was in case it gets booked out and we can't stay there again when we want to! We stay at two or three (reasonably priced) cottages a year on our travels, and this was up there with the best. A lovely welcome by the hosts, Jill and Mike, set the tone, friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The cottage was very clean and neat, the kitchen well supplied, and a 'welcome pack' of coffee, tea and biscuits was a nice touch. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of storage for our clothes. The bathroom had a very efficient shower over a nice deep bath. Whilst there we visit both the Ecclesbourne Valley and Peak Rail heritage railways and can recommend them too. Well placed to visit the wonderful Derbyshire Dales I have no hesitation recommending this cottage. We will certainly be back!"
"We had a very warm reception from Jill, the owner, on the day we arrived. She also gave us a welcome pack of tea, coffee and biscuits. The kitchen was well-equiped and clean. The standard of cleanliness in the whole house was very good. The decor of the house was very pleasing and the beds were comfortable. The house is set in a peaceful location but is not too remote. All in all, we had a very pleasant stay and an enjoyable holiday in this part of the country."
"My Sister & I have just returned from 'Aunt Janes' Cottage. We had a 3 night stay, the snow fell heavily on the day we arrived but the cottage was so warm and cosy, the weather really didn't bother us. The cottage is in a perfect location for visiting nearby attractions and beautiful walking countryside. We were very pleasantly surprised at how clean, comfortable, cosy & well equipped the cottage is. We returned home very relaxed and would love to return again and reserve both properties for the rest of the family to join us."
"The cottage was perfect. The location was 'off the beaten track' in a quiet hamlet yet not too far to drive to attractions such as Dovedale and Carsington Water. It was lovely to sit in the back garden with a wonderful view of the countryside. The owners were welcoming yet didn'tt intrude. Inside it was modern yet cosy, we didn't want to leave! Great value for money."
"Good value for money. Generally met our expectations (ie your description did not over sell it) Main bedroom great character. Stairs need a little care (my mother in law had to be taken to hospital when she slipped and hurt her finger). Kitchen well equipped."
"Service was very goiod Really enjoyed living on a farm , the dogs were adorable. The cottage was positioned so you weren't to far off the like of Buxton, Matlock and surrounding areas. The whole holiday was one enjoyed by us all without any dislikes."
"The cottage was in a quiet location. The fascilities were excellent with thoughtful extra touches to welcome you. (It was almost dark when we arrived & the lights were on to greet us). Ideally situated for exploring the Peak District's natural & industrial past. So much to see & do' whatever the weather."
