Farriers Cottage

About this property

This delightful stone cottage is tucked away into the village of Winster, between Matlock and Bakewell. Suited for couples or friends, Farriers Cottage is an upside-down style house, with the bedrooms located on the ground floor, and living room situated upstairs. Be welcomed inside by the entrance hall with its original stone flooring, continuing round to a double bedroom, and a small double, each including a wardrobe, as well as bedside tables. The immaculate glossy bathroom benefits from a shower over the bath, a white suite, with spotlights in the ceiling. You will look forward to getting ready here every day of your holiday. Upstairs is where you will want to be for some well-deserved relaxation, the living/dining room is very spacious, light and airy with attractive stone frame windows over 250 years old, comfy seating and dining space, all wrapped in the warmth of the woodburning stove. Exposed beams rest above, with more in the kitchen, a galley style set-up followed by tasteful units and characterful double windows which really bring the room to life. From here, the patio area can be reached, your own little place to relax with a refreshing drink, making plans for the days ahead. 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, all adding to a unique getaway at Farriers Cottage.

Set within the Peak District National Park is the conservation village of Winster. With a charming 17th Century market house at its centre and other imposing 18th Century buildings - nearly all of which have three storeys, the Main Street, East Bank and West Bank make a wonderful backdrop to any holiday pictures. Less grand but no less endearing are the little alleyways or 'ginnels' which lead off Main Street. The village itself is best known for its Morris dancers, Wakes festivities every June and its annual Shrove Tuesday pancake race. Within the little town there is a well stocked grocer's shop, a post office and gift shop as well as two pubs both serving food and local traditional beers.
