About this cottage rental

Nestled in an idyllic situation by a riverbank on the edge of the Peak District. A beautiful character cottage with beamed ceilings, stone floors and handmade wooden doors throughout. All mod cons; log burning stoves; aga and cosy rooms to relax. Also the perfect place to relax after the 'thrill seeking' at Alton Towers! This place is really home from home and perfect for a friends or family gathering.

We loved our stay at Winkhill Cottage. I felt as if I were in a cottage from the books I’d read as a child complete with a rocking chair, AGA cooker, wood burners and even a river flowing at the front. It was a cosy stay surrounded by rolling hills. Perfect location to explore the Peak District from. My puppy absolutely loved his first holiday and we couldn’t recommend staying here enough.

Lovely cottage in an ideal location for accessing Dovedale, Ilam and Manifold trail. The inside of the cottage was spacious with large dinning table and sufficient sitting in the lounge. The arga kept the cottage warm particularly when returning from walks. There was an outdoor area next to the river which would have been lovely if we had visited in the summer. Good communication with Eleanor and the complimentary basket of goodies was appreciated. Would highly recommend Colourmill cottage as a base to explore the Peak District

A chance for our family to meet up, relax and have a great time. Lots of space to spread out, the bedrooms were clean and very comfortable however, the dining table was probably where we spent most of our time together. Quiet location and we loved the riverside space a couple of steps across the road. An easy place to keep clean with our two dogs as the only carpeted area was on the stairs.

It was a lovely cottage in a lovely location. Eleanor was very helpful. She brought kindling over to us when we realised we were out. There was also plenty of wood for us to burn on the Woodburner - fantastic in the cold weather. She also left a generous hamper of goodies.

We had a lovely time at Colourmill Cottage in Winkhill for a reunion catch up of 2 families with young children. A very relaxed, comfortable setting and easy to get around to all of the great places on offer in the Peak District.

A beautiful cottage from which to explore the Peak District. Eleanor was very helpful at all times by phone and text. Be careful of your head if you are very tall, our 6'2" son hit is head several times on low beams and doorways! We had a lovely time, thank you

Great Location for Alton Towers Visit, however property needs some work to improve

Location was great for our families visit to Alton Towers. Personally I felt the property was in desperate need of some maintenance. There is a strong smell of damp, ridiculous amount of cobwebs all over, the jacuzzi bath didn’t work, furnishing seem very old and not comfortable. Reading the guest book many people have had pleasant stays though, so maybe it’s just my expectations that were not met

Disappointing.

Disappointing.

Colourmill Cottage is a lovely cottage. We read the reviews and apart from one they were all good. The location is superb and when we drove onto the drive all looked good. I went in and my son, his wife and grandchildren had already arrived. They commented that it looked nice but it wasn’t very clean. I looked in the dishwasher which was full of greasy water. I cleaned the filter which was so greasy and also had broken glass in which I cut my thumb on. The kitchen generally was not very clean. The fridge isn’t quite big enough if you plan to do self catering. If any food gets near the back of the fridge it freezes. The sofa in the tv room looked scruffy. It also had dirt under the cushions. I took the rug outside to shake as that was also dirty. We did not use this room as the first impression put us off. The conservatory was also dirty. When Eleanor arrived I pointed out the problems and she said that she would come the following day to perform a deep clean. Even the vacuum cleaner provided was dirty. It was a lot better after the deep clean but it should have been like that to start. I can only think we were unlucky as most of the reviews are full of praise. Do not be put off by my review as the positives outweigh the negtives.

We had a very comfortable stay in Colourmill Cottage, with 6 adults, 2 kids and a baby.The cottage is old but very clean and full of character, we also had all of the amenities that we needed during our stay. The Aga in particular was a nice surprise!Eleanor kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed and all in all we had a great stay. The cottage is also in a perfect location for Alton Towers, being a 10-15 minute drive away.

My family enjoyed our short stay in this very quaint cottage. It was ideally situated for us as it was close to Alton Towers theme park. The house had plenty of room and was cosy and warm. Eleanor was extremely helpful in settling us in, showing us how to work the aga.I would recommend this property.

Christmas at Colourmill Cottage

Christmas at Colourmill Cottage

Comfortable, spacious cottage, (6 adults, 1 four year old and two dogs) over Christmas. Everything was really good and we had a great time, we all arrived in the dark, on different days but found the cottage following Eleanor’s directions.Good place to spend time and central for all kinds of activities. Lovely Christmas decorations and welcome pack were very much appreciated and James was amazed by the present from Santa.

Beautiful stay

Beautiful stay

We had a lovely, relaxed stay at Waterhouses. The cottage was beautiful, big enough for all 8 of us (all adults) and the garden backing onto the beck was great place to sit and watch the sun go down! The house as everything you could want, including a BBQ which sadly we didn't get to use because of the rain - but oh well! Eleanor was incredibly welcoming and helpful - and we are very grateful to her for our stay (and the hamper!)

Fantastic stay! Ample space for 6 adults, 2 Children and a dog! The two living rooms were brilliant for us. Spacious bedrooms and bathrooms..... the jacuzzi bath with music was a huge hit with everyone! Dining room was great for family meals! The absolute gem though was the outdoor space, we were very lucky with the weather and the river garden was amazing for us and the children!! Ideally located for days out and an all round brilliant stay! Thank you Eleanor.

Lovely cottage, great location

Lovely cottage, great location

We had a fabulous stay in this perfectly located cottage. Set close to a beautiful stream, the cottage is traditional and cosy but with all the modern accessories and appliances. We had snow the entire weekend we stayed so were in the cottage (apart from a few snowball fights!) most of the time. We had everything we needed and the wood burner and aga kept us nice and snug. Eleanor the host, was very friendly and accommodating and even despite the weather, came over to show us how everything worked. The cottage is really well located for so many local attractions and of course amazing views. We were a family of 4 adults and 2 children; 9 & 12 and a large dog. We all had a great time. We ate at the Lazy trout, leek which was superb (15 mins) . Visited the roaches (15mins), and although we didn’t go it is minutes away from Alton Towers and within 30 mins of Bakewell & Buxton.

Luxurious property, perfect location!

Luxurious property, perfect location!

My partner and I stayed at the cottage for one night and had a fantastic stay. The hosts are amazing, very hands on and so helpful as we had never stayed in this location before. We felt incredibly welcome, it felt like we had never left home! The property was immaculately clean and wonderfully decorated throughout. Personally I loved the little touches from luxurious toiletries through to clean and comfortable bedding. The kitchen was very well equipped to accommodate our self catering needs. I couldn't recommend the property highly enough, its an absolute amazing find. I would definitely recommend this for a perfect get away!

A very Clean, Cosy and Comfortable stay in what has to be one of the best cottages i have been to which oozes character. Not only is it very homely, it is situated in a stunning location. Whether it is a quiet weekend or one full of exploration it is a must. Extra touches such as high end toiletries, good quality towels and bed linens, well equipped kitchen didn't go unnoticed and made our stay that bit more special. We will 100% stay again, and look forward to next time.

Full of character but needs some attention.

Full of character but needs some attention.

Pros: lots of interesting features and character; nice and warm; ample kitchen equipment; good parking; good wifi; nice conservatory,even usable in colder weather; great family size dining table; owner responded well to early requests. Cons: poor fridge, too small for 6/8 people on a self catering break; sitting room furniture shabby and uncomfortable; many curtains need a wash/refresh; lots of dust and cobwebs on light fittings, beams and ledges, this led to 3 members of the party having allergic reactions and one couple leaving early.

Incredible property with incredible hosts

I stayed at the cottage for one night and had a fantastic stay. The hosts were always on hand to answer any questions we had about the surrounding area and helped us to get checked in (with some treats on arrival!). We felt incredibly welcome but were also left alone to enjoy our stay in total privacy. The property was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated throughout with all the mod cons anyone would expect to have. I couldn't recommend the property highly enough and it's absolutely perfect for a family or group of friends.

Stayed with another family so cottage spacious enough for 4 adults and 4 kids. Period cottage but with all mod cons. Garden with river access great for school age kids to play and explore. Loved the big dining table and extra reception room with TV games and toys useful for the kids. Owner friendly and helpful. Plenty of towels supplied. Clean and cosy. Parking for two cars. Plenty of walks and cycle paths nearby. Would definitely return.
