Winster 3.1 miles. The Beeches is a lovely, contemporary, detached dormer bungalow next to a working dairy farm and surrounded by beautiful countryside in the village of Aldwark, near Winster in Derbyshire. The Beeches is tastefully-finished throughout, making it perfect for a group of friends or family to enjoy this fabulous area of the Peak District National Park. The two double bedrooms are situated on the ground floor with a bathroom next door, making it suitable for a member of the group who is less mobile. The twin bedroom is on the first floor and benefits from an en-suite shower room as well as lovely views across the farm and surrounding countryside. The sleek kitchen has everything you need including a very useful breakfast bar with stools ideal for feeding little ones (and big ones for that matter!). There’s an inviting sitting room with a tasteful, glowing woodburning stove and a large dining table ideal for a banquet. From here, patio windows open out to the enclosed garden that wraps around the cottage so there’s always a chance to catch the sun wherever you are. There’s a porch for hanging kit and boots or drying off Fido and there’s also a secure shed if you wish to take bikes with you. It’s a perfect place to chill out, however there are loads of choices to make your stay action packed with plenty of walks including the High Peak Trail and the historic Minninglow planting, just a short hop from the property. The beautiful village of Winster and the heritage rich Cromford are easily reached by car, whilst the activities of Carsington Water are also located just a few miles away. Alternatively, for a good day out, head to Gulliver’s Kingdom at Matlock Bath, as well as Matlock, Bakewell, Monsal Head, and the picturesque town of Ashbourne, known as the Gateway to the Dales. Other places nearby and well-worth visiting are Haddon Hall, Chatsworth House, and Kedleston Hall. For even more enjoyment, a little further afield you’ll find Alton Towers, which will provide fun for all. The Beeches provides relaxing accommodation in a splendid part of the country, making it a great base for a family holiday any time of the year.
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.

Clean comfortable, ideally located and charming with well kept gardens, we really enjoyed our stay and the dogs were happy with enough garden for them.
Alan
Very spacious for a small cottage with my wife, daughter and 2 dogs. My mother stayed with us for a couple of days during the stay. Location is perfect for peace and quiet as well as visiting all the wonderful attractions the Peak District has to offer. No more than 20 minute drive from most places. On arrival, key collection went perfectly and even had a bottle of wine waiting for us and a few snacks for the dogs. We minimise contact with the owners but when we did contact them, they responded immediately and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again, given the opportunity and would highly recommend.
Stuart Henry
All essentials available and ready for use. Just what we expected and more. Regrettably the weather wasn't too kind so we had little opportunity to enjoy the outside areas. On saying that plenty of places to visit within a 20mile (30 min) area. Really enjoyed our short stay.
