Tucked away in the heart of Darley Dale, this beautifully presented cottage is a dream escape for couples, friends, or small families – especially those bringing a four-legged friend along for the adventure. With a crackling wood burner in the lounge and a hot tub in the enclosed, private garden, this charming retreat offers a warm and welcoming base for exploring the spectacular landscapes of the Peak District with your canine companion by your side.
Arrive at the ease of private parking for two cars and a thoughtful welcome hamper to start your stay. Step inside to a handy entrance space, then through to the stylish country kitchen. Relax in the open-plan lounge/diner, where the original stone wall and wood burner set the scene for cosy evenings in. The sofa can be converted into a bed to accommodate extra guests. There's also a sleek ground-floor shower room. Upstairs, the vaulted double bedroom comes complete with a gorgeous free-standing bath. Outside, the fully enclosed rear garden is a joy – a lovely spot for your faithful companion to enjoy while you dine at the bistro table. At the end of the day, slip into the covered hot tub with something chilled in hand as you soak beneath the stars.
The nearby towns of Bakewell (5 miles) and Matlock Bath (5 miles) are great for a day out – with scenic routes, dog-friendly cafes and plenty of spots to stretch the legs. Don’t miss the Heights of Abraham, where well-behaved canine companions can join you as you travel by cable car and roam the hilltop estate together. For a touch of grandeur, Chatsworth House (5 miles) and Haddon Hall (3 miles) boast stunning grounds ideal for gentle lead walks and stately sniffs.
