Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in this charming cottage for two in the unspoilt Derbyshire village of Elton. Nestled on the edge of the Peak District National Park, this retreat is a fantastic base for walkers and four-pawed explorers, with the long-distance Limestone Way passing just outside the village. After a long dog walk, return to your cute cottage to share a romantic dinner and snuggle up in front of the wood burner.
The adorable stone cottage is warm and inviting; enjoy cosy nights in watching the TV in the lounge, which features a beautiful stone floor, a fluffy rug for the pup to curl up on, and a roaring wood burner for chilly evenings. The compact kitchen has been cleverly designed to include everything you need to create delicious meals for two, to share together in the bright dining room. Next to the kitchen is a sunny conservatory, where you can sip a morning coffee overlooking the garden. Upstairs, a relaxing double bedroom awaits with an adjoining dressing room with a single futon chair/bed, and an elegant bathroom. The walled courtyard garden has lots of little nooks and crannies for the woofer to explore and is also a lovely sunny spot for relaxing with a glass of wine.
The tourist town of Matlock Bath (9 miles) is well worth adding to the itinerary. Spend a relaxing afternoon perusing its independent shops and boutique, before enjoying a peaceful walk with Fido along the river or hopping on the paw-friendly cable car to investigate the stunning hilltop estate at The Heights of Abraham. The pretty town of Bakewell (7 miles) also makes a fun doggy day out, with a great choice of woof-friendly eateries, as well as a popular open-air market and access to the traffic-free Monsal Trail.
