Property code: OC-S29699

Engulfed by the verdant fields of the Derbyshire Dales, this stone cottage offers a remarkable place to escape in the company of man’s best friend. Made for days filled with long walks and nights filled with good food and even better company, this dog-friendly place is a true home-from-home packed full of creature comforts. Whilst this farmhouse cottage sleeps four guests and three dogs, it’s also located on a wider complex of properties set around a charming courtyard, an ideal choice for groups travelling together. Each accommodation choice is pet friendly as well, overall making it a real haven for dog lovers.

Owing to the pet-welcoming surroundings, it’ll come as no surprise to find two exceptionally spacious dog paddocks and a generous allocation of gardens on the grounds of this estate. Shared facilities include a games room, bike store, laundry and BBQ area. As well as this, the cottage offers its own enclosed terrace for your (and your dog’s) sole use. Stepping indoors, find the well-equipped kitchen diner, with family bathroom off this space. Up five steps is the lounge, with cushy sofas, sloping ceilings and a TV/DVD, allowing you to put your feet up with Fido and Rover gently curled up, snoozing by your side. Whilst your pups dream of chasing cats and Derbyshire wildlife, you can venture down the steps from the kitchen/diner to the two pretty bedrooms.

Popular Peak District destinations including the towns of Bakewell (2.5 miles) and Buxton (10.5 miles,) and the village of Ashford-in-the-Water (3.5 miles) is located close by, keeping you well-connected to the main appeals of this National Park. Set off with pockets full of treats and your dogs on leash to explore the footpaths that surround the estate, easily reaching the rivers Lathkill (2.5 miles), Rye (3 miles) or Derwent (6.5 miles) for the chance to wander along picturesque riverbanks and let your dogs fetch sticks to their heart’s content.

We had a lovely stay in April 2025. The cottage was very comfortable and well-equipped. Our children loved the games room and enjoyed playing football in the garden. The location was ideal for visiting other places in the Peak District and we enjoyed the walks from the door.
