Take your four-pawed pal on a Peak District getaway with you and let him discover puppy paradise. This superb retreat at Alsop-En-Le-Dale, 7.5 miles from Ashbourne, has everything an outdoor-loving pet could desire. Surrounded by fabulous dog walks, it sleeps eight guests across four bedrooms and has a lawned garden for your pet to play in. For the humans of the group, it boasts a hot tub and a games room.
Usher your happy hound into the hallway then take him through into the lovely lounge. Light the wood burner after autumn and winter walks to toast chilly feet and paws. Choose a book from the shelf or watch the Smart TV as your sleepy chum dozes by your feet. The adjoining conservatory, which is a small step up, is also a great place to kick back with your contented canine. There is a handy sofa bed in here too. Wander through to the large kitchen to feed your four-legged friend and prepare feasts for the group. Set the table in the impressive dining room next door and enjoy holiday mealtimes together. A useful utility room and a family bathroom are also downstairs. Bed your pawsome pal down for the night and climb the stairs to your own rooms. These include a zip-and-link super-king-size (which can be made into a twin on request at time of booking), a king-size, a double and a twin. A second bathroom with a freestanding bath completes the internal layout. Spill outside to throw a ball for your pal on the grass. Play air hockey in the games room or unwind in the bubbling hot tub while he explores the enclosed garden. There is ample private parking here.
Call your pet and venture 5.5 miles to follow the picturesque Dovedale Stepping Stones Trail together. Carsington Water, 14 miles away, also welcomes waggy-tailed walkers.
