Two Fabulous Cottages

It’s clear to see why Westhills Courtyard receives such fantastic reviews! This converted barn offers two gorgeous cottages, each sleeping two people on on the edge of the pretty village of Winster, which can be booked individually, or together for groups of four. Located on a small equine farm, you’re likely to see beautiful dressage horses during your stay. The cottages are surrounded by 50 acres of rolling hills and breathtaking countryside, which can be enjoyed with uninterrupted views from the windows or walks straight from the door – including the nearby villages of Winster and Birchover with a selection of pubs!

Great Location and Walks from the Door

Winster also has numerous listed buildings and plenty of historical interest, making this a picturesque village well worth a visit. A mile and half down the road in the other direction is the ancient village of Birchover on the edge of Stanton Moor. In Birchover you’ll find two lovely village pubs serving great food and beer.

During your stay make sure you also explore the nearby attractions of Rowtor Rocks, Stanton Moor and Nine Ladies Stone Circle, all of which are easily accessible by foot.
