Surrounded by 20 acres of wide-open grounds at the heart of the Peak District National Park, this farmhouse offers an exceptional base for holidays with man’s best friend. Set on an eight-cottage complex surrounding a cheerful courtyard, this holiday home is a top-dog choice for guests visiting with extended family or friends. This cottage sleeps a pack of five guests and three dogs, complete with sunny interiors laid out on a single storey and a whole array of facilities, including a bike storage shed, laundry room, and packed games room with pool table, table tennis and children’s area.
Set tails wagging as you step inside this traditional stone cottage and make yourselves at home. The ground-floor abode centres around an open-plan living space, where a kitchen, lounge and diner invite nights of relaxation with your pets gently snoozing away in the corner. Leave your sleeping dogs to rest peacefully here as you find three bedrooms along the hallway – an en-suite double, a twin and a single – plus a family bathroom. Moving outside, find a selection of outdoor spaces to enjoy with Fido off the lead, including your private, enclosed patio with garden furniture, the two separate dog paddocks for exercising your four-pawed pals and the large garden with a BBQ and well-equipped kitchen.
Sniff out every adventure in the surrounding Lathkill Dale, one of Derbyshire’s prettiest dales with sweeping hills, endless routes for walkies and the River Lathkill gently tumbling through (2.5 miles). Take an easy-going stroll up to the picture-perfect village of Ashford-in-the Water (3 miles) to find the banks of the River Wye or visit the vast and spectacular Thornbridge Estate (4 miles) where canine companions are invited to frequent the grounds and cafe.
