A lovely quaint cosy little cottage, in a beautiful little village. We had a very nice stay celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary.

Excellent Cottage and Location

The cottage was brilliant, very cosy and full of character. The village of Winster was lovely, the Miners Standard a 5 min walk up the road served great food and the Druids Inn a nice walk away on Birchover was also excellent. There's a bus stop a minutes walk from the cottage, 20 mins into Matlock which is worth a visit. We had a great stay!

Cosy cottage stay

We loved our few days away staying in this cosy cottage. It was just perfect for us and the most beautiful walks on the door step. Great location, fabulous and friendly pub in the village, great village shop and the most comfortable bed I have ever stayed in! 5/5 we hope to be back!

We had a lovely three night stay at Lancaster Cottage to see out 2025. The cottage was so welcoming and cosy - exactly what we were looking for. The decor and interiors really add to the atmosphere and make it feel like a home away from home. Katie has truly thought of everything, from games to all the helpful information you might need in the guest manual. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lancaster Cottage and would love to return.

A Pleasant Surprise

Beautiful and well-furnished cottage in a quiet area of Winster. Cosy stay-at-home or enjoy the local walks. Local pubs, Druid Inn and Red Lion, both in Birchover , are nice but for a special treat, take a short drive over to Wiirksworth and visit 'Le Mistral'. Delicious food and fantastic service. Totally relaxing break.

Perfect cosy cottage

This quaint little cottage is the perfect place to stay. It’s small, but so cosy and offers everything you need. The living area with its log burner, the kitchen equipped with everything you need, and a good sized bedroom with such a comfortable bed. There is nothing that I could fault about it. There is a local pub a two minute walk away, also cosy and serves good food, and just a three minute walk away a post office and shop. Would absolutely stay here again . The owner was very accommodating when we had to cancel and rebook, communications with her were fantastic and in the cottage she provided so much information on the cottage itself and all the places you can visit and details on the surrounding area. You have to stay here!!!

A Little Gem!

This is a stunning property, lots of character, beautifully kept, incredibly comfortable and a wonderful location. The host was so fantastic. The bed was beyond comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The sofa was as comfy as the bed! I booked this looking for a retreat from busy and stressful life, and this was so good I didn't want to leave. There are some wonderful walks from right outside the door as well, and the view from the garden was lovely. The book with the walks was a great bonus. The local shop had everything I needed, and the bus to Bakewell was really easy. The food at the local pub was lovely too. Parking was interesting but once I had my spot, I didn't need to move it the whole time. I would absolutely recommend this place.
