You’d be barking mad to miss out on a stay at this superb barn conversion, set in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Located on a working farm in the quiet hamlet of Heathcote, this stone barn is as atmospheric as it is stylish. Six humans and one lucky pup have the run of this place, which includes open-plan living areas and a courtyard with a hot tub beneath the stars – ideal for easing weary muscles after days roaming peaks and moorland.
Set in a beautifully converted stone barn, this ground-floor apartment has bags of character with exposed stone walls, wooden beams and polished wooden floors. High-quality furnishings and appliances combine to create a warm and inviting space, filled with creature comforts. Ideal for socialising and snoozing, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner forms the heart of this abode. Curl up with your pup in front of the wood burner after days of adventuring, then whip up tasty meals for all with local produce before gathering the pack around the dining table to feast together. When night falls, retreat to one of three peaceful bedrooms, a king-size, a double and a twin, each with their own en suite. Doors lead out to the garden from the lounge and one bedroom, where a picnic table and BBQ invite al-fresco meals and a hot tub allows you to unwind beneath the stars. Private parking is available for three cars.
The delightful village of Hartington is just over a mile away, home to pubs, cafes, village stores and a local cheese shop that’s sure to set noses twitching! Let Fido lead the way to adventure with a selection of wonderful walkies from your front door, including Wolfscote, Beresford, and Biggin Dale. The market towns of Bakewell, Matlock and Matlock Bath, and Ashbourne (within 12 miles) offer charming days out, while your pup can explore the historic gardens and parkland of Chatsworth House with you (13.5 miles).
