If you’re keen for a restful break with your family and pet, stay at this charming cottage in the heart of the Peak District National Park for a trip that’s sure to please everyone. It’s in the scenic village of Castleton, at the head of Hope Valley, and surrounded by stunning landscapes all ripe for exploration with your beloved canine. You’ll also have a shop and pub 0.5 miles away for convenience.
You’ll enter straight into the lounge of this beautifully presented home, which has lots of original features including a beautiful stone fireplace and elegant ceiling wooden beams. Fire up the flame-effect electric fire to present a cosy relaxation spot for you and your dog, all set for unwinding after a long day out in the hills. The dining room is flooded with natural light, providing a lovely spot for meals, while the country-style kitchen is fully equipped for cooking up a feast using tasty local produce. Head upstairs and you’ll find a twin and a double bedroom, both featuring exposed beams for a cosy feel. The spacious family bathroom completes the indoor space. Outside, you’ll have a tiered patio garden set across three levels and connected by stone steps – your doggie may need to take care here. Guests can also benefit from one on-street parking space.
There’s so much to see nearby – you’ll be just 200 metres from the ruins of Peveril Castle, where dogs on leads are welcome to join you, and 500 metres from the mysterious Peak Cavern – all accessible without needing the car. For more adventurous pups, the Mam Tor circular walk (2 miles) promises fantastic views over Edale Valley, with plenty of space for a good run for any four-legged guests among you.
