Stretch furry legs with long hikes and exhilarating hill climbs when you retreat to the magnificent Lake District. This handsome three-bedroom stone barn at Tideswell, 9 miles from Buxton, is surrounded by superb dog-walking countryside. Sleeping six guests, and with a private garden and hot tub, it is quite simply heaven on earth for hounds and humans.
Arrive to discover this Derbyshire escape offers largely reverse-level accommodation. Two of your sumptuous bedrooms, each with bi-folding doors within the original barn entrances, are ideal for those who like to step straight out into the sunshine on fine summer mornings. They feature super-king-size beds that have zip-and-link beds that be made up as singles if discussed in advance. A wet room and a shower room are also down here, ensuring convenience and privacy. Your third bedroom, a king-size, is on the first floor, together with its en-suite bathroom. This is the level of the barn that your four-legged friend will spend most of his time on. Here you have a capacious, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with exposed stonework and a vaulted ceiling. Let your pal pad about, then flop down beside the roaring wood burner to warm his paws. Prepare his meals and yours here. Dine together in this lovely space then give him some puppy love as you watch the Smart TV. Spend as much time as possible outside on summer days. Dine on the patio, soak in the hot tub and throw a ball for your hound. There is private, off-road parking for three cars.
