We loved our stay at Lancaster Cottage and are thankful for the fond memories of it I'm sure we'll cherish for many years to come. The cottage itself is very cosy and it's clear Katie has put in a lot of attention to detail into making it the warm and accommodating space it is. We especially loved the fire and secret garden. Katie was always responsive and the guidebook she provides is thorough and very helpful ☺️

What an absolutely lovely place to stay!From the village itself to the quiet and relaxing cottage. It was everything that we needed for the weekend. Lots of lovely walks from the doorstep, for the dog and us to enjoy 😊

Thanks v much Mark - I'm so glad you loved the cottage and had a great stay. hope to see you again! x
I cannot recommend Lancaster Cottage more highly. If you are in need of a true, restful break, and the feeling of stepping back in time where life had a slower place - this is the cottage for you. The secret garden is a true highlight for soaking in the English countryside and letting time pass you by...

Thank you Olivia - that is exactly the feeling I want my guests to have when they are at the cottage - hope to see you again! xx
A magical little hideaway. The cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The outside spaces were stunning, packed with flowers which sat alongside the the gorgeous Derbyshire landscape. Katie was great at communicating and was very proactive in anticipating our needs. We actually didn't stray far, because the local area provided beautiful walks from our doorstep, and the village shop provided all the goodies we needed for our 4 night stay. We would definitely book again if we were in the area. thank you Katie.

Love that - magical little hideaway! A perfect description. Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. xx
Lancaster Cottage was the perfect hideaway for our bank holiday weekend getaway. Pleasingly cool inside the stone cottage (those 300 year old walls definitely kept out the heatwave!) with all the amenities you could need inside. The bed was super comfortable too. The real standout is the garden which was in full bloom for our stay - as was seemingly every garden in this beautiful village! We spent some wonderful afternoons reading in the peaceful secret garden whilst the dog sunbathed outside. And in the evenings when it was cooler, there were plenty of lovely walks from the doorstep. We really loved Winster as a walkable village with lots of life - special mention to the Miner's Standard pub and also the food at the Red Lion in Birchover. Thank you Katie for being a wonderfully friendly and responsive host. I'm sure we'll be back here soon!

What a lovely review! Yes, the cottage is a real retreat on hot days isn't it - those huge stone walls keep it cool when it's hot and cosy when it's cold. I'm so pleased you got to enjoy the secret garden too - wonderful! xx

Thank you so much Katie - that is a FAB review! The cottage is wonderfully cool on these hot days isn't it! Glad you enjoyed the garden at its best too. Look forward to hosting you again! x
Such a beautiful cottage in a really quaint village. The secret garden was perfect for evening drinks and morning coffee. We just had a 1 night stay but would definitely come back when we’re in the area.
Instructions to get there were super clear, house was spotless and amenities were great.
Thanks for the lovely stay

We had such a wonderful relaxing stay in Katie's cosy cottage. We had everything we needed for our break and we loved how quaint the cottage was. We enjoyed snuggling up by the fire, as did our dog after exploring the beautiful area. We also enjoyed the little walk to the garden which was abundant with flowers. The bed was really comfy too! This cottage is a gem and we will definitely return if we're in the area again. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay.

We had a lovely stay at Lancaster Cottage.It was perfect for a little get away, in the heart of the Peak District with it's beautiful scenery and tranquility. The cottage was gorgeous, and had everything we needed, as well as a beautiful garden to soak up the sunshine. Katie was a wonderful host and kept us up to date with information both before and during our stay. Katie also recommended many local things to try, such as the pub Miners Standard, which served delicious food.We look forward to coming back!

Lancaster Cottage was a lovely place to stay, cosy with much attention to detail and with the bonus of a quiet and private garden space. Lots of options for walks from the cottage, with Clough Woods in particular very special in April with a mass of bluebells. Katie was very proactive with lots of helpful recommendations - would definitely stay again.
An idyllic cottage in a lovely historic village which offers peace and tranquility. Slept like a baby in pitch darkness and a very comfortable bed.
Easy access to Bakewell & Matlock and some nice pubs & dining within walking distance.
Katie communicated brilliantly throughout and the cottage manual was full of information from walks, to pubs/food and local history and sites of interest.
It was home from home, very chilled and relaxing.
Highly recommended.
