Enjoy watching your delighted dog explore the charming garden at this handsome stone cottage in the Peak District. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom retreat nestles in Longnor, 6.5 miles from Buxton. Grab the dog lead and step straight out from the doorstep to wander your rural surroundings with your faithful friend by your side.
Open the stable door and follow your chum’s wagging tail into the kitchen. Top up his food and water bowls on the beautiful slate floor and unpack any delicious local produce you have bought. Set the wooden table in the cheerful dining room next door. Linger long over your meal while your contented canine flops down nearby. Amble through to the sitting room afterwards to light a roaring open fire and surf the Smart TV as your dog dozes on the rug. The adjoining conservatory is a lovely, quiet space for you and your chum to enjoy together as you look out onto the greenery. Open the doors here during the warmer months to bring in a cool breeze. Give soft ears a last stroke before bed, then make your way up the stairs to the first floor of the Staffordshire cottage. Here you will find two double bedrooms, plus a bunk room that the children in your party will adore. The family bathroom is also here. Enjoy morning coffee on the covered bench while your paw-some pal pads about the garden. There is private parking for two cars and a handy outside tap for muddy paws.
Take your energetic pal to accompany you along sections of the Tissington Trail. This meets the High Peak Trail, another great dog-walking route, at Parsley Hay, 4.5 miles away. Venture 13.5 miles to spend an afternoon discovering the splendid gardens and grounds at Chatsworth House with your four-legged friend.
