The Hayloft is a well-received cottage in the Peak District, praised for its cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and efficient use of space. Guests appreciate the modern amenities, the proximity to local pubs and shops, and the scenic views. While parking can be challenging, the property's charm and the owners' hospitality, including occasional welcome gifts, contribute to a delightful stay.
Guests consistently note the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'lovely clean', 'very clean', and 'clean and fresh', indicating meticulous maintenance and attention to detail.
The location is highly regarded for its access to the Derbyshire countryside, local amenities, and walking trails. The village setting adds to the property's appeal, although some guests mention narrow roads.
The cottage is frequently described as 'cosy', 'comfortable', and 'warm', with guests enjoying the layout and furnishings. The presence of an electric blanket and the coolness of the ground floor bedroom during a heatwave are noted comforts.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. However, the lack of outside bins for rubbish disposal is a minor inconvenience mentioned by some guests.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident through the provision of welcome gifts such as wine and biscuits, although it is kindly noted that such gestures are not guaranteed for every stay.
A full renovation of The Hayloft has now been completed. A brand new bathroom has been fitted with a walk-in shower, and the kitchen is bespoke featuring quartz worktops. There is new furniture throughout The Hayloft and it has been tastefully decorated in a modern yet cozy style. Tucked away in the sought-after conservation village of Winster, Derbyshire, is this wonderful, detached annexe, Hayloft. Enjoying a superb location within the White Peak area of the Peak District National Park, and an elevated position showcasing breath-taking countryside views, Hayloft is the perfect dwelling for a couple seeking a romantic retreat. Upon entering the property at ground-level, be welcomed into an inviting bedroom, featuring a sumptuous double bed for catching your rest after a day of exploring the surrounding peaks. Climb the stairs up to the first floor, where you will find the sitting room, where you can snuggle up on the plush sofa and enjoy an evening of entertainment, courtesy of the Smart TV. Impress your loved one with delicious meals, whipped up in Hayloft’s second-floor kitchen/diner, ready to be enjoyed at the dining table for two over a celebratory bottle of fizz. On the same floor, you will find a well-appointed shower room, ideal for freshening up before you retire to bed. Take a leisurely stroll into the charming village, where you can treat your loved one to a well-deserved meal at the welcoming pubs of The Old Bowling Green and The Miners Standard, or stock up on essentials at the community-owned village shop. Be sure to visit the remarkable 17th-century National Trust site of Winster Market House, where you can brush up on the local history and information about the local area. The bustling county town of Matlock is just a short drive away, where you can picnic in the picturesque surroundings of Hall Leys Park, hike up to the Pic Tor Memorial where you can expect exceptional views at its top, or hop aboard a vintage steam train at the Peak Rail to sit back and enjoy your surroundings! Other attractions include the Heights of Abraham, where you can take an alpine-style cable car up towards tours of The Great Rutland Cavern and a fossil museum and the scenic High Tor Recreation Ground. Continue on to Matlock Bath, where you will find the Peak District Mining Museum, the idyllic Derwent Gardens and an aquarium. Next stop is Bakewell, where you can try the town’s famous pudding and tour the decadent interior and grounds of the esteemed Chatsworth House. Embark on a two-footed adventure along the 46-mile Limestone Way or enjoy a cycle or hike at Robin Hood’s Stride and Cratcliffe Rocks, there are ample trails to ensure you’re never far from panoramic views and scenery. All this and more awaits with a stay at Hayloft. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1051655, together sleeping up to six guests.
You'll find yourself surrounded by imposing 17th- and 18th-century mansions, many of which are three stories high, in the conservation community of Winster, located in the White Peak section of the Peak District National Park. There are numerous alleyways known as "ginnels" that connect the three main streets - Main, East, and West - and are worth investigating.

The cottage had everything for an enjoyable stay and was close to the village for local shop and pubs.

The slope up to the Hayloft was a little challenging. Really great accommodation. Everything we needed. The only thing we found was that the freezer had a solid bag of ice cubes. In it. Throw out maybe? A bit 'out in the sticks', but really quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Diane
The owners have utilised this unique space so well, making it modern but also very characterful and cosy. Excellent communication and service throughout. Everything you need is there. Parking was not an issue at all. I would definitely return. Thank you Laura! âââââ
