This beautifully converted barn, situated within the Peak District National Park, is perfect for your entire family – including the beloved canine! Sleeping four across two peaceful bedrooms, this property is ideal for those looking for a getaway to the country without being completely cut off. Pups will love the walks along the Tissington Trail (14 miles), while kids will enjoy exploring the quirky Tudor house that is home to the Bakewell Old House Museum (10 miles). And when it’s time to go home, you can return to this cosy barn, fire up the wood burner and put your paws up for the evening.
The barn, which is hidden away down a country road and adjoins the owner’s property, is spacious and comfortable. The large contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen has everything you need to cook up a storm, while the ornate fireplace and comfy sofas in the open-plan living area, beckon you to sink back with the dog by your feet. The bedrooms, with exposed beams and crisp, fresh bedding, make for a tranquil night’s sleep; wake up and head to the patio for stunning views. Sizzle up a BBQ out here in the summer for an al fresco bite to eat.
The property is in an excellent position for discovering the Peak District. With walks and cycle routes on your doorstep, it will be difficult to get bored. Start a 4-mile walk from a pub in Crowdecote (1.5 miles), where you can all stop for a bite, and head to Pilsbury Castle for superb views and geological discoveries. Stroll around the grounds of Chatsworth House (14 miles) and stop for some lunch in their cafe that has dog-friendly indoor seating. And don’t forget to visit the quaint village of Buxton (9 miles), where you can sample delicious local produce and take souvenirs home.
