Winnow Stables

Our second visit to Winnow Stables. Lovely cosy, comfortable accommodation. Very clean and lovely linens on the beds. Situated in one of the prettiest and spectacular parts of the country I would highly recommend staying at Winnow Stables.

We were a group of 4 adults staying in Winnow Stables. The accommodation was very clean, spacious and well equipped. The stables were nicely furnished and modern. The beds were very comfortable. There was parking for 2 cars right outside the entrance to the stables. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. I met the goats, and looked at the donkeys and sheep. We were attending the Damgate wedding venue next door which was only a minute’s walk away. Andrea the owner was very friendly and prompt with my email enquiries and the whole booking process went smoothly.

We had a very great time in the lovely and confortable winnow-stables and the owner Andrea was so welcoming. It was the perfect place to discover the beautiful country of Dovedale!

Just returned from a great week at Winnow Stables. Spacious and very comfortable. Beautiful and peaceful location with a homely feel. Lots of friendly farmyard animals that would be especially enjoyed by children. We found Andrea very welcoming and helpful, really enjoyed our stay and we were very lucky with the sunshine.

Very enjoyable 4-day break in the Stable, Winnow Barn. Excellent stylish renovation, comfy beds and nice bed linen. Good organisation and communication with Andrea. Loved all the animals! Great area for walking and beautiful countryside.

Winnow Stables has been furnished and equipped stylishly and is a really comfortable, quiet place to stay. Dovedale is only a short drive away and can even be reached on foot across the fields. There is peace, fresh air and beauty from your doorstep.

Our third visit which speaks for itself. If you are in The Peak District for a walk this place is perfect. You can take a stroll up on the hills or if you are happy to do 5-10 miles in a day you can set off in any direction for great walks including Dovedale and not need to drive. The kids loved making dams in the river at Wetton Mill. We will be back again.

Delightful accommodation in an idyllic yet accessible location. Walks to Dovedale from the front door were a highlight. The welcome hamper was worth the extra with excellent local produce, and we also had a great afternoon tea. Great hosts - including the animals!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Winnow Stables. It was well furnished, warm, quiet and comfortable. Parking was right outside our cottage. A great location for exploring the Southern Peak. Only thing we would have changed was a lowering of the height of the bales stored outside our windows to the north - to improve the view of the countryside.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Winnow Stables. It was a beautiful, well equipped warm and comfortable place in which to base our few days away from home in these unusual times. The cottage was extremely clean and the extra touches were very welcomed. We would certainly recommend to family and friends.

Winnow Stables is a comfortable and stylishly simple cottage in a remarkable location, with a view to the north of Witton Hill and to the south the farmyard tricked out with real goats and chickens! Paths lead in all directions from the door. It is silent and dark at night. A small log stove piggybacks on the super-competent heating system. The beds (and chairs) are comfortable and the kitchen is a pleasure to work in. You are bound to have a happy and memorable stay here in some of the loveliest countryside available to humanity.

We enjoyed a very relaxing and comfortable weekend at Winnow Stables, a beautifully renovated stone farm building. The hosts are very thoughtful and have struck the right balance of giving guests space, but being there if needed. The animals are also a delight and it’s lovely to watch the antics of the goats and the chickens and enjoy a good chat with the donkeys! The location is also gorgeous, with Peak District walks right on your doorstep.

Winnow Stables was very comfortable and we had a fabulous stay. It was wonderful to be able to walk in this beautiful area without having to use the car. The food delivery from Sauced Here (and ale from The Dovedale Brewing Co.) was great and Andrea & John were very friendly and helpful. We would certainly recommend Winnow Stables and hope to return ourselves.

We stayed three years ago and pleased to say the place is still first class, everything you need for a self catering stay. You can take long walks over the back to Ilam or over the hills at the front to Dovedale. The owners give a warm welcome even in these difficult times.

Another really lovely stay at Winnow Stables - we are so pleased to have discovered this little gem - we will be back again it is so relaxing and comfortable and of an exceptional standard - Andrea and John are so friendly and helpful and the cat dog chickens (and chicks) donkey and goats are happy to meet guests too making it special for our two girls to visit - in a very idyllic peaceful spot in the peak with lots to explore on the door step - just perfect for a family chill out and recharge - stylish and beautiful accommodation with lots of luxury

Very stylish and comfortable accommodation and delightful hosts. Great location in beautiful countryside. Good pub and restaurant 5 minutes away in Alstonefield - The George

Lovely relaxing place - in the middle of nowhere which is just what we wanted. Ideal for a New Year's get-together - our second stay here. Great hosts and excellent amenities.
