Property code: OC-81043

Surrounded by the delights of the Derbyshire Dales countryside, there’s a plethora of walks to indulge in which are perfect for walkers, stick chasers and cyclists alike. Welcoming all the family including the two four-legged members, this cottage sleeps four in two cosy bedrooms. Explore plenty of stunning, hilly footpaths through the village to find outstanding views before returning to clean off muddy paws and dirty boots in the handy utility room. At the end of the day, cook up a storm in the kitchen or potter to the dog-friendly pub in the village for a hearty meal.

With exposed beams and original stonework this warm and welcoming farmhouse is full of character. Relax amongst country cottage styling, dining at the table and snuggling on the sofas by the light of the wood burner, as your furry friends curl up for a snooze in the warmth. Wake to the sound of birdsong in the pastel first floor bedrooms decorated with floral wallpaper, before enjoying a morning cuppa in the split-level landscaped patio garden. Ideally placed to take in the far-reaching views over the village, let your pup scamper in the garden as you fire up the BBQ for al fresco dining.

An excellent base for walking, your pup will be in heaven! Head to the wooded valley of the Deep Dale Nature Reserve (9.5 miles), or climb to the imposing ruins of Peveril Castle (20 miles) to enjoy the breathtaking views over Hope Valley. Explore gardens and parkland (on lead) at the beautiful Chatsworth (9 miles), explore an array of eateries and independent shops in Matlock (4.5 miles) or visit The Heights of Abraham (6.5 miles) another great dog-friendly attraction.

This cottage was very clean and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. The location is excellent with plenty of local walks and a very good village store and local pubs. Although parking can be a bit difficult we manged ok and there is a car park at the top of the village.

A very comfy and well equipped cottage in a great location. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We did 3 walks from the cottage and had a lovely evening at the very friendly pub - at the top of the hill. The village shop was well stocked and very friendly.

Cute cottage in a beautiful village. The cottage was very clean and well equipped although we didn't do a lot of cooking. Comfy beds. The neighbours are very friendly and helpful. Great village shop and 2 lovely pubs with friendly staff. I would definitely book again.

Nice property in the heart of the Peak District. Well situated within the village for local amenities and places further afield. Parking in front is an issue but we settled for the road in any case. The garden is safe for a dog but not particularly dog friendly. The house caters for everything you will need during your stay.

We had a wonderful few days at yew cottage while enjoying the peak District! It is set in a lovely village with beautiful views from the little garden terrace which was great for a morning coffee and breakfast while the sun came up and the birds were singing! The cottage was perfect for us with two children and our dog and had everything we needed!Read more There are lots of paths and walks directly from the cottage as well as further afield! We enjoyed our stay! Hide

What a great property. My 4th stay in the peaks this year and this one was by far the best and a great price for the week we stayed. Would definitely book this one again next year. Very spacious and comfortable. Just couldnt find a fault. Top marks to the owners on having such a special place.

A well-equipped, clean and pretty cottage. Winster is a stunning village with very friendly villagers. Parking is on a steep hill, but we always had a spot outside the house, so not an inconvenience at all. A really lovely find.
