Cow Shed Cottage

Within easy reach of Bakewell (2.5 miles) and Buxton (11 miles), this Derbyshire holiday home offers you a new leash of life, hosting dog-loving couples on a romantic getaway. Surrounded by spectacular, panoramic scenery, two guests and two dogs are welcome to escape to this place with outdoor adventure in mind, discovering so many opportunities for walkies close by. Long-distance walking trails, pretty estates and peaceful, quintessentially British villages are on offer all around it, so pack up your tennis balls and prepare for some quality time with your loved ones – canine companions included, of course.

This handsome stone cottage has been lovingly decorated with couples and their pets in mind, complete with cosy features including a wood burner-furnished lounge where you can curl up with a good book and your beloved pooch beside you. You’ll find this fire in the open-plan living space, along with comfortable sofa seating, a compact kitchen and a dining space for two. The double bedroom (complete with generous dressing area which can host an additional single put-up bed on request) and family bathroom are adjacent, accessed via a characterful archway. Outside, find a selection of spaces to sit and enjoy the sunshine in a dog-friendly setting. The cottage is surrounded by 20 acres of grounds with dog paddocks, gardens and fields, and you’ve got your own enclosed patio space with dining furniture directly outside the property too. Shared facilities include a well-equipped games room, bike storage shed and a laundry room.

Set tails wagging with some long, rewarding walks throughout your stay here. Snaking through the Peak District, the Monsal Trail (5 miles) and the Derwent Valley Heritage Way (6 miles) provide exceptional pathways throughout the Derbyshire Dales. Let Fido sniff out wildlife and fetch sticks along the way, following the incredible scenery of the River Derwent or the River Wye en route. Sights including the Headstone Viaduct (6 miles) and the Water-cum-Jolly (7 miles) lie waiting to be admired, best enjoyed with the loyal pitter-patter of paws trotting ahead in front of you.
