Bring your doggos to Derbyshire for an unforgettable getaway with those you love most. Accommodating eight guests and up to five dogs, this incredibly spacious and well-appointed property offers plenty of room for paws and people to spread out – a great choice for families or friendship groups looking to celebrate special occasions. The star of the show is its large, tiered garden, an enviable outdoor space filled with unique features, best enjoyed while your canine companions chase tails on the lawn around you. Discover the tiki bar, hot tub, domed outdoor seating area and enclosed games room, all while Rover, Fido and co. roam to their hearts’ content.

Maintaining plenty of its original charm, this 17th-century cottage has been thoughtfully updated to create an unforgettable place to stay. Let your pups lead the way inside, exploring the spacious shared areas on the ground floor. The kitchen and dining room offer convenience at mealtimes, while two separate lounge spaces invite you to put feet (and paws) up in the utmost comfort. Let the warmth of the wood burner wash over you as you listen to the gentle hum of Fido snoozing nearby. When it’s time for bed, carry dog-tired bodies up to two separate bedroom wings, each featuring two double bedrooms. Outside, along with the exceptional, canine-compatible garden, you’ll find private parking for up to four cars.

Let those cars connect you to Derbyshire’s many beauty spots, strapping your pups in to set off in search of endless walkies. Explore the Derwent Valley and Stanton Moor (4 miles), both filled with winding footpaths and wildlife-rich trails that traverse rolling hillsides and fascinating rock formations. Hike up to Robin Hood’s Stride (6 miles) or the Nine Ladies Stone Circle (4.5 miles) in search of marvellous views.

Fab cottage and location - great views. Short walk to local pub and shop. Bedrooms were lovely with comfy beds. Two lounges catered for everyone. Extra food fridge and beer fridge was handy. The jacuzzi was great and the pod came in useful in the evening. Games room would be well used by the kids. Great location for Matlock and walks in the peak -Read more Black Rocks walk and Chatsworth House close by. Park run 18 mins away. Id stay again. Owners had a helpful app with all the key info so communication was easy plus a WhatsApp number for a really quick response. Hide

Beautiful location in well presented cottage, had a wonderful relaxing stay. Great views from the property. Would have rebooked as soon as we got home but unfortunately the dates are not available in July. Would gladly recommend to anyone who wants a brilliant space ideally situated to do as much or as little as you want to.

A beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting. Plenty to do on the terraces - great for family competitions - and really comfortable both inside and out. Highly recommended.
