The Croft is to be left clean upon vacating the property. We reserve the right to charge a 50 pound cleaning fee should it not be left clean and tidy. Any damage is to be reported prior to vacating to allow replacements to be bought.
Anyone bringing pets must have them under their strict control and not let them use the upstairs area. Pets must have their own bedding and cleaning up after your pets is required prior to leaving the property.
Lovely cottage in a lovely village. Amazing views from the garden (we loved the swing seat!). Many great walks nearby.
Parking in front of the cottage can be a bit difficult, but there is more parking space nearby.
Booked a 4 night stay with dog. Cottage was spotless, had amazing views and the welcome pack was appreciated. Parking could be an issue but there is another place to park nearby. Lovely location would definitely book again.

Hi Thanks for the review,
Glad to hear you had a great time.
Apologies about the lights, they all seem to have gone at once, but they have been replaced. The kitchen equipment points have also been noted.
Thanks

Winster Village was once a thriving lead mining village that boasted 20 pubs and 2000 residents. Today it is a popular tourist destination which still retains its village community. The age old tradition of the Winster Wakes, complete with Morris dancing, still continue today.The old part of the village contains some fine historical buildings such as the Market House and the poorhouse. The hillside to the north has many of the old lead mining cottages for which the village is renowned. The roads of East Bank and West Bank are bi-sected by footpaths, known locally as gennels, that allow walkers to view beautiful cottage gardens. Winster opens these gardens to the public when it hosts the Secret Gardens of Winster weekend.The pubs at Winster include the Miners Standard and the Bowling G...
Getting around
The best way to get around the village is on foot and the Croft is centrally located making it easy to access the shop and pubs. The pathways also provide some stunning views of the beautiful gardens in Winster. In and around the peak district, a car is the best way to get around. However, Winster is served by a regular bus service to Matlock, which has a railway station that connects to the Midlands.
