The home is full of character with all modern amenities to make the stay very comfortable. Clean, cosy, constant hot water. Winster is a lovely village with two great friendly pubs, fire places & local beer. The shop is well stocked. A great place with some really good walks straight out of the village.

Would definitely recommend Winster for a break. Lovely comfortable little cottage with everything you need. Great walks available. Steep stairs if you are not mobile and steep steps to garden area. But no issue if you are fit.

Everything you need for a few days away. As a family of 4 with a dog we really enjoyed our stay. The village of Winster is stunning and so peaceful to just walk round and explore. Tom the owner sent all information through and messaged during the stay to check we were settled. The one thing that was missing, particularly as Autumn approaches is a fire. It's been taken out so drying clothes, even on the maiden was tricky. There are lots of blankets to snuggle up in so it's warm and cosy... just the drying of clothes was tricky. There's ample hot water and the cottage is well stocked with everything you could need ! We loved the cottage and would definitely book again.
