Fill your days with dog walks and outdoor adventures in the exceptional Derbyshire countryside, by staying in this converted barn abode. The cottage is a tail-wagging delight for up to three guests, a great choice for small families or couples seeking that bit of extra space. Two dogs are welcome to come along too, ensuring you don’t have to enlist the help of the kennels throughout your time here. Just 4 miles from the base of the Peak District, you’re assured an array of incredible walking routes and landscapes to admire close to the property. Closer to home, there are forests, streams and grassland right on the private estate, ready for exploration with an energetic pup or two. Or perhaps take a trip to the award winning Denstone Hall Farm Shop (3 miles), set in the picturesque village of Denstone beside the River Churnet.
Move through the courtyard with its outdoor seating and step inside. The accommodation is split over two floors, with plenty of living spaces downstairs and two snug and cosy bedrooms up a single flight. Let Fido sniff around the open-plan living area downstairs, making themselves at home and finding the very best spot to position their bed. The Smart TV and cushy seating add to the appeal of this room, allowing you to put your feet (and paws) up after a long day. Elsewhere on site, a shared sauna and a gym add to the appealing features of this top dog estate.
Quiet villages, peaceful country lanes and the banks of the River Dove are all accessible within walking distance of home, allowing you to mosey out on a daily dog walk and get to know the surrounding countryside. A little further away, the handsome town of Ashbourne (5 miles) boasts cobbled streets, a regular market and a whole selection of pet-welcoming pubs to spend time in. From here, embark on the Tissington Trail, a 13-mile flat, traffic-free route that really shows off the Derbyshire Dales.
