Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"Lovely comfy cosy cottage, actually nicer and more spacious than the pictures suggest."
All spotless and the kitchen extremely well equipped with good quality equipment. Great location for walking - we walked from the door on one of our days and a short drive will bring you to many great options.
Owners were friendly and very responsive when we had a small unforeseeable problem during our stay (thank you).
If Wi-Fi is very important for you, then I suspect it may always be patchy due to issues outside of the owners’ control. Also, it wasn’t obvious to us in advance that the garden terrace is only accessed from the single bedroom as it’s on a higher level. Not a problem for us though.

"Fabulous cottage."
The best equipped kitchen we have stayed in, which is many. Lovely patio with smashing views. Couldn’t fault the accommodation and the hosts who lived on the farm were helpful & friendly. Added bonus was the new micro brewery within a short walking distance ,which is open at weekends. Well worth a visit. Can recommend a visit to Carsington Water 20 minutes away. We would definitely visit Aunt Jane’s cottage again.

"Two super cottages for a family get-together."
They worked perfectly for us, and were within easy reach of some local areas of interest. The weather wasn't great, but as we wanted to spend time as a family we enjoyed staying in, and made full use of what the cottages had to offer. Friendly owners, and everything we needed, even the addition of a well-kitted out utility area with washing machine, tumble drier and clothes racks. Thank you for a lovely stay.

"This is an excellent cottage, lovely hosts, excellent accommodation, well equipped, lovely welcome, very comfortable."
Everything you could want or need. Also available are a small selection of books, puzzles and games. Ideal for a couple or with one child, however next door is a bigger property. The cottage is spacious with parking outside. The countryside around is wonderful and picturesque. This cottage is ideally situated for walkers and if you don’t walk but like to visit places, then this is the cottage for you. It’s situation is in the middle of the countryside, it’s peaceful, but only a mile or so from the main road where within 10 - 15 minutes drive you can be in Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock and Matlock Bath. Also worth a visit is Ashbourne and the wonderful Carsington Water and Cromford and the Cromford Canal. Also worth a visit is Chatsworth House. This is a property that we will definitely return to.

Where you’ll be staying
WINSTER
Bakewell 6 miles; Matlock 4.5 miles.
The conservation village of Winster is situated within the White Peak area of the Peak District National Park and is an extremely pretty place, with a charming 17th century market house at its centre, and other imposing 17th and 18th century houses, many three storeys high. The three main streets - Main Street, 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 are all nearby and, for keen walkers and cyclists, The Limestone Way runs along the edge of the village. The Tissington and High Peaks walking and cycling trails, with bike hire available, both lie less than 5 miles from the village, a wonderful base for exploring the Peak District.
