Plan a romantic retreat to this chic apartment in the Peak District and bring your paw-fect per along with you. This one-bedroom hideaway that was once a hayloft nestles in the village of Snitterton, just inside the picturesque national park, 1.5 miles from Matlock. Featuring all the creature comforts required by a couple and their canine, it is well located for magnificent hikes out across the hills and scenic forays along nearby footpaths.
Climb 10 exterior steps with your pup bounding behind you and make your way into the stylish retreat to discover a very clever balance of contemporary and character features, such as modern furnishings, beams and a vaulted ceiling. Unwind on the sofa for a spell while your cheerful chum noses about to get his bearings. Make yourselves a cup of tea and feed him his supper over in the kitchen area. Here you will also find everything you need to help you rustle up a delicious dinner for two with your own ingredients to enjoy at the dining table. Watch TV or a DVD in the evening before patting your pal goodnight and wandering through to the double bedroom, which also has a vaulted ceiling. Have a bath in the bathroom before bed or on the morning, then sit outside on the patio with your first cup of tea of the day as your eager hound waits patiently for the day’s activities to begin. There is ample parking here.
Make sandwiches and pack dog treats, then venture 8 miles to beautiful Stanton Moor. Here you and your delighted dog will find an array of walks. See the Nine Ladies stones circle or visit Robin Hood’s Stride, an interesting rock formation with far-reaching views across the undulated national park, situated on the Limestone Way, a 46-mile waymarked route.
