Gorgeous romantic cottage retreat, gardens & Peak District views
Welcome to Lancaster Cottage, Winster - possibly the best situated cottage in the Peak District - utterly peaceful yet an easy stroll to pubs and fantastic walking trails from the doorstep.
Built in 1701 out of local limestone & Grade II Listed, it oozes character and is the ideal retreat for a luxury romantic escape for 2.
Cosy fireplace & beams, huge settee & a dreamy, romantic bedroom with king-sized comfy bed with lovely views over the hills, 2 outdoor seating areas & tranquil garden.
THE PERFECT COSY HIDEAWAY
Step into a beautifully restored cottage full of character, from the exposed wooden beams and stone walls to the unique gritstone fireplace with a cosy wood burner. Designed with cosy luxury in mind, it features a large, comfy sofa by the fire – the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploration. The dreamy king-sized bedroom offers a peaceful sanctuary, complete with lovely views over the rolling hills.
For those special occasions – birthdays, anniversaries, marriage proposals or mini-moons – Lancaster Cottage is a memorable setting that provides a wonderful romantic haven all year round .
Enjoy the best of both worlds with two outdoor seating areas and a tranquil garden. The front of the cottage is car-free, offering a peaceful place to sip your morning coffee and enjoy the view, while the secluded, private rear garden is a true hidden gem. Take a walk along the secret path to discover the garden room, complete with day beds and beautiful views of the countryside – the perfect spot to relax with a book, nap, or simply watch the birds and bees at play.
As evening falls, enjoy clear, star-filled skies thanks to low light pollution. Light the firepit, wrap up in blankets, and indulge in an unforgettable night under the stars.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Katie Squires

Hi, I'm your host Katie. Lancaster Cottage was formerly my home and is a very special place. I now live in the next village and am close at hand if you need anything during your stay. The Peak District is a beautiful place to live and work. I am lucky enough to be a professional gardener and planting designer in the local area. In my spare time I spend A LOT of time hiking and exploring the Peaks.
Why they chose this property
This area has everything - the scenery is fantastic, it is rural whilst still being accessible, the locals are very friendly and the pubs are great. The walking is varied - hills, dales, Derbyshire's dramatic gritstone edges, lakes - there is something for everyone. It is also an uncrowded part of the Peak District, which is an added bonus.
What makes this property unique
I love being immersed in nature and despite being in a village, my cottage is off the beaten track and surrounded by beautiful plants, trees and open countryside. It is utterly peaceful - you can only hear birds and bees and at night lots of owls.The garden and garden room have views to the hills and are very special indeed.
