Offering so much room for you and your four-pawed pal, this Staffordshire barn conversion offers an opportune place to get away with man’s best friend. Extremely spacious and filled with natural light, this handsome holiday home accommodates a pack of four guests and two puppy pals, ideal for families or friends. Care has been taken to ensure that pets are as welcome as people, with a large, enclosed garden, a welcome pack of doggy treats and a handy (and warm) outdoor tap creating the perfect destination for your doggo.

When coming home from a long, rewarding walk, stop off in the external doggie shower before venturing into the utility room to dry off, throwing towels straight into the wash as needed. Once clean and dry, you’ll no doubt find Rover and Fido plodding on into the lounge to find the electric wood-burner-effect fire, curling up and warming their paws whilst the rest of the pack settles in for some uninterrupted TV time. Once evening falls, sleeping dogs can settle peacefully downstairs whilst you head up to the first floor, home to two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. In brighter weather, spend time outdoors making use of the spacious, enclosed patio and lawn space, lighting up the fire pit to extend the evening as the night closes in.

Spend each day exploring the surrounding area far and wide, ensuring you’ve got plenty of tennis balls in stock for never-ending adventures in the Peak District National Park (10 miles). Within the vast, rural countryside of the National Park, enjoy walks along the River Dane (11.5 miles) and the River Dove (13.5 miles), spend time watching the climbers on the area’s craggy rocks and walk through undulating fields, letting your energetic doggos fetch endless sticks along the way.

  • 2 en-suite bathrooms – 1 shower over bath and WC and 1 walk-in shower and WC; separate downstairs WC

Accommodation has been rebuilt and equipped to a very high level and the owners seem to have put a lot of thought into what is provided, everything was like new. The online app/guide was very useful. Very dog friendly with an enclosed lawn area and outside dog shower plus good walking to the Caldon canal. Pod coffee machine was a much appreciated tRead moreouch. Lovely views over the valley and a great location for Rudyard Lake, Tittesworth Water and The Roaches. Lazy Trout pub is highly recommended. Hide
