Watch your deliriously happy dog discover all the magnificent outside space at this paw-some, single-storey holiday home at Hundall, Derbyshire. Situated 7 miles from the edge of the Peak District, the three-bedroom property sleeps six guests and looks out over beautiful countryside. As well as a large lawn for playing fetch on, it also comes with access to a field and wild orchard.

Encourage your furry friend away from the garden and its surroundings and head inside to unwind in welcoming, modern living space, with ample room for all. Choose between the lounge, where you can recline on the soft seating in front of the TV as you give soft ears a good stroke or settle on the soft seating through in the kitchen/diner, where you can pull the glass doors open on to the garden on warm days. Rustle up delicious meals in here too, then feed your pet as everyone else dines at the table. When it is time to turn in for the night, settle your pal before heading through to one of the two double bedrooms or the twin. The property has a family shower room. Dine out on the patio as you gaze out over the fields and watch your waggy-tailed chum race about. Take him over to the field to stretch his legs before bed. There is parking for four cars at this property.

Plan trips into the national park to follow picturesque footpaths and visit dog-friendly beauty spots. Visit scenic Padley George, 12 miles away, with its many woodland trails and places your happy hound can explore freely. He can also dip his paws in icy streams here if he dares. Head to Linacre Reservoirs, 6 miles away, where pups are allowed off their leads as they wander beside two of the lakes.

This is a beautiful cottage in North East Derbyshire, perfect for visiting the Peak District and Chesterfield, with Chatsworth House and Hardwick Hall a few miles away. The nearby Devonshire Arms pub is excellent. The cottage is very well equipped and clean and comfortable whatever the weather.
