Set out over three quirky stories, this terraced cottage provides an exceptional base for four guests and one dog. This Grade-II listed destination is set in Winster, a quintessentially British village with peaceful streets, a welcoming pub and plenty of limestone architecture that’s typical of this part of the Derbyshire Dales. Matlock is just a short distance away (4.5 miles), offering spa treatments, a vibrant high street filled with independent shops and a pretty park on the banks of the River Derwent. From here, you can explore Derbyshire’s rich industrial history, visiting Cromford Mills in the neighbouring village of Cromford (5 miles).
Uniquely laid out, this property features multiple floors separated by interior stone steps with cosy nooks and crannies throughout. A lovely lounge with a wood burner greets you downstairs, separated from the kitchen by a stunning stone archway. The kitchen/diner makes mealtimes a doddle, and a handy utility room is just next door with a dishwasher and laundry facilities. Choose to dine in here or take your meals out onto the enclosed roof terrace with patio seating. Continuing the indoor offering, find a twin bedroom with a shower room next door on the first floor and an endearing king-size room with a seating nook at the top of the house.
Set off and start walking from Winster, enjoying the many winding country roads and pretty dales that surround the locale. Follow The Limestone Way (3 miles), a 46-mile route that really captures the splendour of the White Peak. Lace-up your hiking boots to discover unique rock formations in the Harboro Rocks (6 miles), Black Rocks (5.5 miles) and Nine Ladies Stone Circle (4 miles). For those who prefer to explore at a slower pace, visit the medieval Haddon Hall (4.5 miles) and the grand Chatsworth House (8 miles) for guided tours and regular markets.
