Stretch furry legs with exciting walks along the Manifold Trail when you stay at this dog-friendly cottage in the Peak District. Sleeping just two human guests, but also welcoming their paw-some pal, this delightful, one-bedroom hideaway is a great option for a pet-loving couple on a romantic break. Ideal at any time of year, it comes with a wood burner for winter and a garden where you and your chum can enjoy the summer sun.
Step inside the stone cottage to feel the warm embrace of this character-laden bolthole. Stoke up the wood burner while your contented canine noses about, then find a film on the Smart TV to enjoy as you dish out some puppy love. Climb two steps up to the kitchen/diner, which also has an abundance of rustic charm, to replenish food and water bowls and prepare romantic meals to enjoy at the table. Open the stable door in here on bright, summer days. Find a corner downstairs for your furry friend’s bed then climb the open-tread stairs up to the mezzanine level. Here, you will find an additional lounge or reading area, where you can unwind with your book for a spell. Three more stone stairs lead up to your charming bathroom, where you can soak in hot water in the freestanding bath before ambling up one more step to the king-size bedroom. There is also a shower room here. Take in the views from the front garden over morning coffee as your chum waits patiently for his first walk of the day. There is private parking here for two cars.
Drive 9 miles to the famous stepping stones across the River Dove. Water-loving pups may wish to take a swim here. Dogs can also accompany you along the footpaths to Thor’s Cave, 8 miles away.
