Book a stay at this delightful retreat for couples and you’re sure to find it a paws-down winner for pups as well as people. Sleeping two guests, the one-bedroom stone retreat nestles in beautiful surroundings at Biggin, 9.5 miles from Ashbourne, deep in the magnificent Peak District. Roam the undulating landscape with your delighted dog, then return to play with him in the lawned garden or to relax in the hot tub.
Head inside to find a friendly, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Fire up the wood burner so it throws a cosy glow across the room, then head over to the country-style kitchen space to dish up dinner to your hungry hound. Whip up tasty dishes and sit down at the table to enjoy meals together with lovely views. Settle down on the comfortable seating in the lounge space and find your favourite show on the Smart TV. There is also a handy utility room downstairs, which is the ideal spot for drying damp dog fur after drizzly walks. Bid your sleepy pet goodnight and climb the wooden staircase to the lovely super-king-size bedroom, which has beds that can also be made up as singles by request. Soak in the free-standing bath under the skylight windows in the bedroom or have a steaming shower in the en-suite wet room. Take your pup out to nose about the garden in the early morning sunshine. It has seating for dining out and a wonderful hot tub for relaxing under the stars. There is parking for two cars.
Treat yourselves to a day at Chatsworth House, 15.5 miles away, where four-legged visitors are welcome to explore the 1,800 acres of estate with their owners. Venture 8 miles to follow a section of the picturesque Manifold Valley Walk with your canine chum.
