Angel Cottage Winster

Alport is very close to Winster, down in the valley over which Winster lies; it also sits on the confluence of Bradfield and Lathkill Rivers (ideal for fly-fishing). Photos are of a lovely early evening walk there in late May.

Angel Cottage currently has a ‘faux’ log burning stove – we think there’s nothing like the real thing, so a new one should be going in just before Easter, making for a cosier cottage!

Angel Cottage is nestled in the Peak District village of Winster, Derbyshire.  The three bedroomed cottage is right at the heart of the ancient lead-mining village, lying opposite the National Trust’s medieval market hall, although set back from Main Street through a gated archway and cobbled courtyard.

It is thought to have been part of the original stables and grooms’ accommodation to the sixteenth century coaching inn, known as the old Angel.   There is a good-sized rear courtyard garden that is safe for young children.   The cottage has been renovated throughout.  Winster is a superb location for outdoor activities, but just as useful for a quiet holiday spent pottering about.
