With fetching decor and luxurious features, this contemporary-style cottage at the heart of the Derbyshire countryside invites packs to enjoy unforgettable pet-friendly getaways. The property hosts four guests and one canine companion amidst a countryside backdrop, with an impressive selection of walking routes and outdoor adventure spots right on its doorstep. Stretch your legs in the vibrant Peak District National Park, just 2 miles away, exploring waterfalls, woodlands, and endless scenic viewpoints on a different dog walk every day.

Decorated to an exceptionally high standard, this top-dog property is sure to impress from the moment you step inside. Let Rover lead the way indoors, where you’ll notice the open-plan living space with a lounge/kitchen/diner – everything you need right at hand. Man’s best friend can curl up cosy in one corner while you settle onto the sofa to watch the Smart TV or cook up something delicious in the compact kitchen. Discover two bedrooms – a king-size with Jack-and-Jill en-suite shower room on the ground floor and a super-king-size with free-standing bath on the mezzanine first floor, with a WC and basin for convenience. Completing the property’s offerings, step out into the enclosed lawn and patio garden, safe and secure for your pet to play in.

Among the many enviable outdoor offerings, Holmebrook Valley Park (3.5 miles) and the Linacre Reservoirs (4 miles) are close by, where Fido can chase wildlife and hunt down sticks to their heart’s content. Moving further into the National Park, discover the pretty garden and park around Chatsworth House (9.5 miles), keeping your pooch on a lead while you explore. You can also visit the charming villages of Ashford-in-the-Water (12 miles) and Bakewell (11 miles) for a sweet treat. For an easy-to-follow route with beautiful scenery, follow the Monsal Trail cycle route from the centre of Bakewell.

Donna is a fantastic host. Excellent communication, nothing is too much trouble, adds those extra touches that makes your stay feel special. Location is exceptional, peace and quiet but never feeling totally isolated pub within walking distance. Pet friendly accommodation and secure garden area.
