About this property
Winster 1.5 miles. A charming semi-detached barn conversion, situated on the owner's working sheep and cattle farm close to the village of Winster, 6 miles from Matlock.

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.

Louise
All spotless and the kitchen extremely well equipped with good quality equipment. Great location for walking - we walked from the door on one of our days and a short drive will bring you to many great options. Owners were friendly and very responsive when we had a small unforeseeable problem during our stay (thank you). If Wi-Fi is very important for you, then I suspect it may always be patchy due to issues outside of the ownersâ control. Also, it wasnât obvious to us in advance that the garden terrace is only accessed from the single bedroom as itâs on a higher level. Not a problem for us though.

The best equipped kitchen we have stayed in, which is many. Lovely patio with smashing views. Couldnât fault the accommodation and the hosts who lived on the farm were helpful & friendly. Added bonus was the new micro brewery within a short walking distance ,which is open at weekends. Well worth a visit. Can recommend a visit to Carsington Water 20 minutes away. We would definitely visit Aunt Janeâs cottage again.
