• "An amazing property with a great history back to the 1600s and lead mining."

  Set an a beautiful village with PO, general store and 2 pubs close to Matlock and access to the Peak District. Everything was beautiful with the house and really well kitted out with all we needed. Lovely welcome box and good house instructions. Warm and cosy. Catered for all ages and abilities. Good outdoor space though we did not use it re time of year. We loved it and the Christmas decorations were up.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are very lucky to have such a great village surrounding us with such a fascinating history full of amazing people. I’m thrilled your enjoyed your visit and you are very welcome to return during warmer months when the beautiful Peak District has so many more things to offer. Property Owner

• "A stunning property in which to celebrate my Father in Laws 80th birthday for the weekend (18 of us in total, including 2 babies)."

  Plenty of space for everyone, the beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped (some plastic plates for the young ones would have been handy). The garden and outside space is lovely, perhaps we will return in the Summer to make better use of it next time! We had a caterer come in and cook for us one evening which was fantastic. Thank you to all the people that make this place so wonderful, we will cherish our weekend memories for a long time!

  Thank you for taking the time to let us know that you enjoyed your celebration at Winster Hall. We would love to welcome you back so that the family can enjoy the garden as well as the house. Property Owner

• "Great holiday with our families sharing Winster Hall."

  Everything was excellent and could ask for no more. We did find the access for cars was not great as the entrance was not wide enough, therefore parked either on the road or at the side of the building.

  Thank you for your feedback I’m really pleased that you and your guests enjoyed Winster Hall. We agree that the gateway is tight as it was designed for horses and hopefully it will still reflect this in another 400 years’ time as it is a Grade 2 listed building and protect by planning. Thankfully the road has no parking restrictions and there are free car parks at either end of the village. I hope you will come and stay again as we agree that it is a great space for several families to get together. Property Owner

  It’s a very happy place with beautiful gardens and everything you need for memorable shared moments. We enjoyed every minute of our visit and appreciated the opportunity to share this marvelous house. We played croquet, lawn Bowles, cards, dominoes and did lots of jigsaws. Beautiful views and amazing peaceful location ❤️

  We made full use of the large and well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the formal dining room. We were able to relax together in the large and very comfortable lounge for our poetry, quiz and games evenings! It was an excellent week.

  There are some fabulous walks, right from the front door, you couldn’t have chosen a much better location for a walking group. Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback and I hope we can welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

  It didn’t disappoint!! It’s a beautiful house in a very pretty village. It’s very spacious, well equipped, clean and very comfortable. It suited our group of 12 perfectly. The basket of ‘goodies’ was very welcome. There are lots of easy walks nearby, two local pubs and a village shop. We had a fabulous weekend and I’m sure we’ll all be back!!!

• "Excellent. The only problem was the main oven not working although there was an aga."

  Otherwise this was a great location for a special occasion family get together. The ability to host a birthday dinner party for twelve with matching crockery glasses and cutlery (with a caterer recommended by the owners) was exactly as we hoped for. The completely wall enclosed garden was a real benefit for letting our energetic puppy run free.

  Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. I’m pleased you enjoyed your birthday get together and your dinner party was a success. Apologies for the oven, unfortunately we could not get an engineer to the property before your arrival, but I hope the AGA sufficed. Our garden is perfect for lively pets and children alike to burn off some energy. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

  The Hall was trimmed up for Christmas which was a bonus. We loved the space, everyone got a lovely bedroom. We lit the fire in the Dinning room and had a wonderful meal, played games in the Lounge. The weather was awful and got soaked visiting Buxton and Haddon Hall but there is plenty to do in the area. We really liked Winster village and went to both pubs. Had a meal at the Miners Standard it was just ok. Thank you for the lovely welcome basket. Jane

  Thank you for your lovely feedback. I thrilled that you enjoyed your time at Winster Hall for your birthday and managed to explore the surrounding area despite the weather. Winster is a beautiful village, and we are very proud to be a part of it.

• "The house is in a really convenient setting with a great little shop 20 yards away."

  The welcome hamper has all the basics needed to start the week. It has a full set of the necessary kitchen utensils and some to spare. The bedrooms are comfortable and the showers work well. The setting is excellent for all the main towns and visitor spots and for some great walks out of the front door. The communications from the housekeeping team are really useful and help with the stay. Highly recommended.

  Thank you for your great feedback. The team are all very happy that your group enjoyed half term with us. You are absolutely right; we are very spoilt by our setting in the middle of Winster and the walks we have right from the front door plus the volunteer run shop is one of the best resources we have in the village. We hope you will all come and stay with us again. Property Owner

• "We loved the property."

  Its location was excellent, it felt clean and warm and there was nothing that it lacked in terms of equipment. We had to think hard to offer anything that we thought could improve it. However, not being able to use the open fire in the lounge was a shame and a shower attachment to the bathtaps in Haddon's en suite would have been helpful. As I said, both very minor points. I was also very pleasantly surprised by the welcome basket upon arrival. We would definitely recommend.

  Thank you for giving us such lovely feedback, I hope the birthday celebrations were enjoyed by all. Thank you also for your suggestions, something the team will consider as we always appreciate ideas for how we can improve. We would love to welcome you back to Winster Hall soon. Property Owner

• "Everything excellent, great holiday."

  The parking was a bit tricky at the front but I suppose the gated entrance is covered by the grade 2 listing.

  I'm thrilled that you enjoyed your holiday. You are right thinking that the gates are part of the listing and character of the building. For larger vehicles it can be more convenient to park on our drive to the side of the building or on the road which is unrestricted. I hope you will come and visit us again. Property Owner

• "Excellent property only thing we missed was a wine cooler which would have been useful and possibly some tin foil."

  Loved the idea of entering the property to the sound of Radio 3. Just one suggestion and that in Hartington with such a good shower the water tends to go over the shower lip and over the bathroom floor which either means the lip is not high enough or the outflow of water is too slow.

  Thank you for your comments. Following your suggestion, a wine rack has been added to the fridge. We appreciated knowing about small maintenance issues before they can turn into large ones so thank you for letting us know about the shower. It’s good to know that we are getting things about right for our guests. Property Owner

  The walled garden was a great boon and would have been even better if the weather was kinder to us. There was plenty of space so we didn't get on top of each other. The beds were comfortable and the rooms attractive. The welcome hamper was filled with local products and much appreciated. The area was full of lovely walks and attractions.

  It was excellent - a huge dining table to seat 16 with a gorgeous woodburner and a massive upstairs living room. It was a very cold week but the house was kept at a comfortable temperature so it was extremely cosy. The kitchen was superb with the Aga providing extra heating and cooking. The local shop is well stocked and run by volunteers and the pub, a 2 minute walk away, is well worth visiting.

• "We all really enjoyed our stay in Winster ."

  However, we had two showers leak and one wash basin ( all uncovered immediately on usage), I cannot believe this wasn't picked up by other tenants ? We also had the electricity in the dining room and kitchen lights trip on three occasions ? No tool box . TV's are very outdated and not SMART only one with HDMI which I had to buy. Conservatory needs a good fan ( which we brought ) for the winter months as there is no heating in this room.

  Thank you for your feedback, I am very pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. One of the showers reported was completely refitted just before your stay and so believe me when I say we are both disappointed and frustrated. Please be assured that this will be addressed. The other shower reported has leaked occasionally, usually when the door hasn’t been closed properly, but this has not been reported by other guests for some time. Thank you for letting us know about the electrical fault, we would not expect guests to use tools on any of our electrical circuits and if it had continued our property manager would have come out to try and solve the problem. Fortunately though we understand the fault did not persist once you had spoken to him. Please be assured that all circuits and appliances at Winster Hall are tested in accordance with all relevant regulations. Regarding the TVs, I did reply to an email from Sykes on the 18th October explaining that we do not have smart TVs at the property and therefore Chromecast or other devices should be brought if needed. I am sorry if our reply did not reach you. We do have a central heating radiator in the conservatory. If we had known it had been turned down, we could have provided instructions on how to turn up the heat. Once again thank you for reporting the issues you have experienced which we rely upon to focus our ongoing maintenance and efforts to achieve the best possible guest experience. Property Owner

One point for future guests is that the glorious bedroom with the painted ceiling is the downstairs room with access to the shower through the dining room. This was not a problem for us. The village is charming and well worth a wander around. The local community shop stocks everything you could need and is open every single day AND is just 20 metres away! Add all this to the fact that you are in a stunning area of England and you have the perfect holiday rental.

  Exceptionally equipped for all comforts and requirements . We have just returned from a birthday weekend there with full occupancy. The standard of everything is exceptionally high without being too starchy. Fabulous garden and outside patio area when the weather is good..we were warm and cosy with log burner, aga in kitchen and fire in lounge. Just so much space to choose... Management have been very friendly ,professional and courteous throughout and we were left to enjoy our time but knew there was someone on standby if help was needed. Winster is a super friendly village with good local amenities...the shop stocks everything and the local pub is only a walk away. We also had a party meal at the Druids Inn in Birchover the next village along which the food and service is fully recommended. Lots of great Band Bs around for additional accommodation. Winster is so adaptable to whatever you are looking for... There isnt anything negative I could say... and I am very picky... 6 stars all a round...

• "A whole family gathering for our Golden Wedding celebration."

  The hall felt like a touch of luxury to us all.The area is gorgeous for walking and the local shop is a treasure.My only quibbles are No1 I had to bring my own coffee machine, and no 2 having to get out by 10 o'clock is almost impossible. Everyone was out of bed between six and seven but as we were five different family units, including a toddler, it was fairly chaotic. I certainly didn't have time to do my last minute room inspections.I appreciate this is a large property but even half an hour would have made a difference.

• "The Coe family 80th birthday gathering went extremely well as the Hall not only was everything it promised, it had such a happy feel to it."

  We had great weather so the two terrace areas were much used for eating out - we used the magnificent formal dining room less, as the conservatory was also very popular. The kitchen was superb, everything we could ask for. The drawing room is fabulous and enormous. The bedrooms were really good, as were the en suites. The top floor did get rather hot overnight sometimes, but the weather was exceptional. The garden and summer house were also well liked and used. The weather broke with heavy rain on the day we left ( Friday 13th !) but we didn’t mind because of all our lovely shared memories of 6th to 13th July 2018 at Winster Hall. PS the community suprmerket 25 yards away is wonderful and deserves everyone’s custom.

• "Winster Hall is a great place for a family and friends celebration."

  The history of the building and indeed of Winster village itself is really interesting. The Hall's facilities are superb and there is plenty of room for everyone. The garden is a delight on a sunny day,and the large dining table makes every meal feel like a special occasion. However, the broadband speed at around 10Mb/second leaves something to be desired. This, coupled with the lack of mobile signal, made communication with more far flung family members tricky.

• "I booked this holiday for an annual family reunion."

  It was a lovely venue, particularly the light, huge first floor sitting room. The location was excellent for all our different interests from walking, cycling and visiting National Trust properties and of course Chatsworth. We also enjoyed Cromford and Masson mills and their history. The hall was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. We were able to use the garden for badminton and the summer house was very relaxing. The local shop was well stocked and the staff were very friendly. We ordered some food from the shop before arriving which was very tasty. All in all a most pleasing experience for everyone.

  Very picturesque village. With a some adaptions the downstairs bedroom and downstairs bathroom could be made wheelchair friendly which would be really beneficial to the house I think.

• "We had an amazing stay at Winster Hall."

  Wow what a find, the property is beautiful, extremely well kept and fitted out, it catered for all our needs. We had a family gathering, 17 of us in total ranging in age from 1 to 75, for a special occasion and we all had a great time. The rooms are perfect well presented and clean, the beautiful dining room seated us all at the amazing long table, the kitchen is very well equipped and we had no problem catering for such a large family. The sitting room on the first floor is large and comfy with plenty of seating and room for all to enjoy time in it. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone and would be delighted to stay there again in the future and would love to be able to spend time in the lovely outdoor space and enclosed garden at a warmer time of year. Thank you to all your team for an easy booking and for the lovely welcome cake and bottle it was a lovely touch Kind Regards Su Battye

• "Property exceeded our expectations on standard of cleanliness, layout and equipment."

  The management had left welcome gifts for us which was much appreciated. There were 15 close family members staying and everyone enjoyed their stay. Communications from the management of the property were good and they were very helpful over our particular bed arrangements and with questions that we had raised. Our group were celebrating a special family birthday and I think we did really well with Winster Hall as our choice.

• "Winster Hall blew us all away."

  It is beautifully decorated and is full of lovely little touches that really go above and beyond. We were staying for a weekend celebration, and every single member of our party said they didn't want to leave. It is so spacious, we were joking that we were going to put bells on each other so we could find people, as we kept losing members of the party to the sumptuous bedrooms! The views are breathtaking, perfect if you want to sit, wrapped up, looking at the view whilst reading a book. The location is fantastic, you can wander to the local pubs, or go for a countryside walk with your four legged friend or go for a short drive to the local market towns such as Matlock or Bakewell. I really tried hard to think of something that could improve the property, the only thing I could think of was some DVD's to watch all together, only to be informed by my friend that there are some in the living room, I just hadn't looked in the most obvious place, under the TV! We all loved Winster Hall, and hope to return at some point.

• "This was a wonderful venue for my 60th birthday."

  Winster Hall was the central house in the village of Winster and it was very useful to have a community run village shop a couple of doors away. There was so much to do in the area and lovely walks around the village itself. Our age range was 70 years down to two and there were activities that suited us all. The house itself was so comfortable and spacious with a lovely garden. We could not have had a better place to stay. I would love to book another holiday like this but would I ever find somewhere to equal it?
