Take time out of your busy schedule to holiday at this pretty cottage in the charming market town of Belper. Sleeping four humans and two happy hounds, gather your friends or family and have a memorable stay in this home-from-home property.
Drop the bags off at the door and enter into the serene open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Put your feet up and bask in neutral tones while your four-legged friends doze in front of the roaring wood burner. Prepare delicious dinners for the whole troop, including your pair of canines, and feast around the dining table seating four. After dinner, find yourself in the fresh air enjoying the bubbling hot tub while your pups explore the garden. Hose them down with the outdoor doggie shower before putting them to bed and heading up the stairs to your own. Located across two floors, a super-king-size zip-and-link bed and a double bed boast a great night’s sleep. When morning breaks, make the most of the sizeable garden by brewing yourself a fresh cup of tea and lazing in the sunshine with your dogs.
Add excitement to your morning walkies by exploring the rural trails from the front door. Top up on groceries or dish up fish and chips at home from the attractive riverside market town of Belper (2.5 miles). Artisan bakeries, independent boutiques and delicious delis provide plenty of tasty treats to indulge in while on your walks. Sitting just half a mile from the centre of the town, dogs can roam the gorgeous grounds of Belper River Gardens (3 miles) where waterside peace and tranquillity come in abundance. For the history buffs of the group, Kedleston Hall is well worth a visit (7 miles) – the 18th-century mansion with a colonial history and vast parklands make this a great day out, and even provides access to four-legged friends in the garden and parkland.
