Property code: OC-DCBOB

Return from country walks and exciting forays into the Peak District with Fido to bask out in the sunshine and take in the views from this exquisite barn near Kniveton. This luxurious Derbyshire barn conversion offers sumptuous accommodation for four humans guests and also welcomes delighted dogs with open paws. Less than 1 mile from the edge of the national park, the exquisite retreat is also just 2.5 miles from the pup-friendly footpath around Carsington Water.

Take four steps up and follow Fido into the beautiful, split-level barn to discover a gorgeous, open-plan lounge, with wooden beams and revealed stone walls. Let your chum pad about the generous space while you light the stylish wood burner on chilly days then switch on the Smart TV. Call him through to the kitchen/diner to serve him the tasty, locally reared cuts you have bought on your latest trip out, then prepare the produce you have sourced for yourselves and call everyone else to the table. Bid Fido goodnight at the end of the evening and wander through to either the king-size bedroom, one step up and with en-suite shower room, or the twin, which has 4’ beds, and its own shower room. There is also a TV in here. Spread out on to the spacious patio on warm days to cook supper on the BBQ and relax over a glass of wine with Fido stretched out close by. There is private parking at the barn.

Visit nearby beauty spots such as Harboro Rocks, 5 miles away, a dolomitic limestone hill with picturesque views, or Minninglow, a mysterious mound, 6 miles away, with a ring of trees. Keen walkers can take Fido along a section of the High Peak Trail from here. This stretches for 17 miles, from Dowlow, near Buxton, to Cromford.

A very well equipped barn well placed to explore the area. The Red Lion is really good and we also had a great meal at The Gate pub in Brassington. Our blind dog coped very well with the open plan design of the barn but was nervous around all the owners dogs who are allowed to roam the farm.

A really lovely stay, the barn has everything you need and is really well laid out making it super dog friendly. We felt at home immediately and will definitely return, its central to lots of attractions and areas to explore but is in a really quiet location which means its super safe for the dog and very quiet and restful when you are there.

Its gorgeous, both the barn and the location. A family of four, 2 adults and 2 children aged 11 and 12 and we just had the best time over October 2025 half term.

Hours of fetch, and exploring, enabling us adults to have well earned guilt free slower starts to the mornings with a fresh coffee watching the kids run around. So much to do in the direct vicinity, we had some brilliant days out. Dovedale and Heights of Abraham being the highlights. We had planned on eating out of a night but the kids keen to get back for more outside play before dinner, so we cooked some lovely family meals in the brilliantly equipped kitchen. Finished with nights in front of the fabulous cozy fire with happy, tired rosy cheeked children. It was the best UK family break. Wouldnt usually book the same place twice but we are very much looking forward to returning. Hide

Bosing Barn was the perfect venue for our weeks holiday in Derbyshire. We really enjoyed looking out on to the rolling countryside in which it is set, and inside the fittings and furnishings are tasteful and comfortable. It is very well equipped and included everything we needed. It is well located with good transport links to the many beauty spotsRead more of the Derbyshire Peaks and Dales, lots of picturesque towns and villages and also many places of historic interest. We very much looked forward to returning to the barn after a days exploration and it was a real treat to have a warm welcome each time from the very friendly dogs. Hide

A lovely presented barn. Lots of character and the layout was ideal for two couples with private fantastic shower rooms. The kitchen was one of the best we'd stayed in with lots of equipment. The lounge area was well laid out with a homely feel. The beds were comfortable and the bedding of good quality. I liked that dogs were not allowed in the bedRead morerooms. We took our dog which slept in the lounge in a pen we had taken. The owners dogs were very friendly and loved to visit. We had a lovely meal in the village pub which was in walking distance. Would recommend this accommodation. Hide

The owner has 8 dogs, all are very well behaved and very playful. Our daughter really enjoyed playing with them. There is a weber BBQ, with BBQ utensils you just need to bring the charcoal. We found the linen and towels to be of very good quality. In fact there was nothing that did not feel premium. The Red Lion pub is a very short walk and has great food. Shops are about 10min drive away. This really is a peaceful place to stay with great hosts. Hide

Sadly this lovely cottage holiday was spoilt by 2 main factors: 1.

The free roaming dogs severely limited our use of the garden as we did not feel comfortable sitting outside with our own dog, just in case the owners dogs came.
