Sitting on a quaint complex of properties next door to the owner’s dog-friendly pub, this lovely first-floor apartment in Meltham sleeps two people in one bedroom and welcomes one faithful friend. Located on the edge of the Peak District National Park, it’s the ideal romantic retreat for a couple who want to spend their days watching their pup’s tail wag on long country walks, and their evenings relaxing over a well-earned real ale in the cosy pub next door. You and your pup will adore long walks on Marsden Moor, and lazy evenings in the pub’s pretty beer garden.
Enter the shared entrance and head up the stairs to your first-floor apartment. Make yourself at home in this tasteful open-plan space and then rustle up a romantic dinner for two. Enjoy an intimate meal at the breakfast bar and then slip onto a sofa to snuggle as you catch up on your favourite TV shows. When it’s time for bed, there’s a gorgeous bedroom to retire to. In the morning, you’ll love waking up to wonderful views across the moor.
Head to Meltham (1 mile) and take your pup for a 0.5-mile stroll to the wonderfully peaceful Folly Dolly Falls. The falls are lovely at any time of year, but they are particularly impressive in autumn. Or go to Marsden (3 miles) to let your pup stretch their legs at Marsden Mutts, where there’s a fully enclosed field for them to run wild in. Pack up a picnic and enjoy the views over the Colne Valley while your pup runs free. Afterwards, treat yourself to an ice-cream sundae in the dog-friendly ice cream parlour by the river.
