"Had a great time at the Beeches."
Very comfortable accommodation, met all our needs. Comfy beds (fab bed linen!), good shower, very well equipped spacious kitchen. Excellent heating and hot water. Good strong dining chairs and table. Generous sofa space and TV (nice to have on the fog day). Lovely location, very practical, secure garden. Useful outhouse and hose for bike. Particularly liked roomy porch for drying dog feet and changing boots. Altogether, couldn't fault it. Really hope we get to come again.

"Fabulous property in great location."
Almost faultless other than hot water in bath and shower not hot enough, also dishwasher a little inaccessible. Had a lovely stay and would easily recommend to anyone.

"The Property was ideal for our needs."
Clean comfortable, ideally located and charming with well kept gardens, we really enjoyed our stay and the dogs were happy with enough garden for them.

"We have a wonderful stay at The Beeches."
Very spacious for a small cottage with my wife, daughter and 2 dogs. My mother stayed with us for a couple of days during the stay. Location is perfect for peace and quiet as well as visiting all the wonderful attractions the Peak District has to offer. No more than 20 minute drive from most places. On arrival, key collection went perfectly and even had a bottle of wine waiting for us and a few snacks for the dogs. We minimise contact with the owners but when we did contact them, they responded immediately and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again, given the opportunity and would highly recommend.

"Ideally situated, very clean and spacious with garden space."
All essentials available and ready for use. Just what we expected and more. Regrettably the weather wasn't too kind so we had little opportunity to enjoy the outside areas. On saying that plenty of places to visit within a 20mile (30 min) area. Really enjoyed our short stay.

"Very happy with our stay at the Beeches."
We had everything we needed in the house, and enjoyed sitting in the lovely garden on sunny days. The secure enclosed garden gave us peace of mind when our dogs were outside. Jane and Colin were extremely helpful in sorting out a couple of problems: nothing was too much trouble.

"Very nice cottage everything you need ."
Would benefit from a welcome booklet with recommendations of places to eat and visit . We tried to leave it spotless but there wasn’t a working hoover or mop and bucket . Also be nice to have a review book to see where other guests have enjoyed to visit and good restaurants. When you aren’t a local nice for recommendations ! Overall a lovely stay and it was spotless

"The Beeches was a great home away from home for a week and we really looked forward to returning to the cottage after a day exploring the Derbyshire Dales."
The cottage was equipped to a high standard in terms of equipment and just some of the small touches made by Jane (such as a box of Maltesers on arrival) just added to the overall impression. The Beeches felt lived in and a home and on a couple of days when the weather was at its worst we were quite happy as a family of 4 watching TV, reading or just relaxing. whilst our SatNAV didn't take us to the precise location, the detailed description and directions got us safely there. A great base for exploring the area and we'd definitely return to The Beeches again

"Cottage was very comfortable well furnished and kitchen equipment good."
Nice bedrooms with good storage for clothes etc and comfortable beds. Only recommendation we would make is that the garden furniture is replaced at sometime it was looking a bit jaded but believe that the garden is a work in progress. Dog friendly garden fully enclosed we enjoyed our stay

"This cottage is fantastic with great views."
The downstairs bedrooms are really useful for people less mobile but the downstairs bathroom has a shower inside the bath and getting leg over to step into bath to stand under shower can prove difficult with people less mobile. Also it states it sleeps 6, which it does, but there are only enough seats for 4, in the living room. One chair and one 3 seated sofa.

The property
Winster 3.1 miles.
The Beeches is a lovely, contemporary, detached dormer bungalow next to a working dairy farm and surrounded by beautiful countryside in the village of Aldwark, near Winster in Derbyshire.
The Beeches is tastefully-finished throughout, making it perfect for a group of friends or family to enjoy this fabulous area of the Peak District National Park.
The two double bedrooms are situated on the ground floor with a bathroom next door, making it suitable for a member of the group who is less mobile.
The twin bedroom is on the first floor and benefits from an en-suite shower room as well as lovely views across the farm and surrounding countryside.
The sleek kitchen has everything you need including a very useful breakfast bar with stools ideal for feeding little ones (and big ones for that matter!).
There’s an inviting sitting room with a tasteful, glowing woodburning stove and a large dining table ideal for a banquet.
From here, patio windows open out to the enclosed garden that wraps around the cottage so there’s always a chance to catch the sun wherever you are.
There’s a porch for hanging kit and boots or drying off Fido and there’s also a secure shed if you wish to take bikes with you.
It’s a perfect place to chill out, however there are loads of choices to make your stay action packed with plenty of walks including the High Peak Trail and the historic Minninglow planting, just a short hop from the property.
The beautiful village of Winster and the heritage rich Cromford are easily reached by car, whilst the activities of Carsington Water are also located just a few miles away.
Alternatively, for a good day out, head to Gulliver’s Kingdom at Matlock Bath, as well as Matlock, Bakewell, Monsal Head, and the picturesque town of Ashbourne, known as the Gateway to the Dales.
Other places nearby and well-worth visiting are Haddon Hall, Chatsworth House, and Kedleston Hall.
For even more enjoyment, a little further afield you’ll find Alton Towers, which will provide fun for all.
The Beeches provides relaxing accommodation in a splendid part of the country, making it a great base for a family holiday any time of the year.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
About the location
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.
