Charming 18th-century character cottage with a private courtyard garden and boasting an enviable location in Derbyshire’s Bakewell. Offering cosy accommodation for up to four guests and one canine companion, this spacious holiday home provides a lovely base for families seeking a relaxing break.
Usher the two-legged and four through the door of this stunning cottage to find a beautiful oak floor that sweeps you through to the lounge. Dating back to 1731, the oak fireplace is stunning – enjoy the glow from the wood burner, which the pup will love dozing in front of. Rustle hearty breakfasts, lunches, and dinners in the open-plan kitchen/diner and come together with good company and good food around the nearby dining table. Enjoy cuddly nights with your canine friend before settling them in for the night, while you head upstairs to one of two delightful bedrooms. Both with en-suites, including one with a lovely roll-top bath, this is a gorgeous space to get ready in the mornings. Outside, relish in an al fresco breakfast whilst your happy hound stretches their legs in the pretty enclosed courtyard.
Perhaps best known for its unique pudding, Bakewell has plenty more up its sleeve to wow you during your stay. Stroll into the village for an early evening pint at one of the dog-friendly pubs or browse rows upon rows of shops, picking up produce for your culinary creations back at the house. Roam along the banks of the River Wye with the pooch by your side, admiring mellow stone buildings and quaint courtyards as you go. Keen walkers will be itching to try the Monsal Trail (3 miles) which offers 8.5 miles of breathtaking pathways along the former Midland Railway Line. Alternatively, spend a day at the film-famous Chatsworth House (5 miles), where 105 acres of garden provide ample picnic spots to share a sandwich with your canine pal.
