Rinse muddy paws in the special dog shower, then bask in the sunshine out in the courtyard at this dog-friendly Derbyshire cottage. Situated in Matlock Dale, between Matlock and Matlock Bath, the delightful, two-bedroom retreat sleeps four guests and offers excellent access to the incredible landscapes of the Peak District, 1.5 miles away.

Follow furry feet into the charming bolthole and wander through to the lounge together. Let him find himself a quiet corner of the carpet while you kick back on the comfortable seating in front of your favourite show on the Smart TV. Head into the dining room instead to gather round the table for meals or to play a hand or two of cards. Another Smart TV can be found in here, and there is space to hang dog leads. The kitchen, where you can feed your chum and prepare delicious meals for the rest of your party, is towards the back of the cottage. Prop open the door here on fine days so your pet can pad outside. You might also position his dog bed down here. As day turns to night, climb the stairs to your own rooms on the first floor. Each of these is double in size. There is also a lovely bathroom with a gorgeous freestanding bath. Dine outside as often as possible, with your cheerful chum keeping you company. There is an external boot room where you can shower him off after each adventure.

Pocket some puppy treats and head 5.5 miles into the national park to stretch furry legs with a walk on Stanton Moor. Explore the parkland grounds at Chatsworth House, 9 miles away, together too. Dogs are also welcome at the famous Heights of Abraham, 0.5 miles away.

A fabulous cottage which is finished to a really exceptional standard in a great location, Matlock is a lovely town with some really lovely pubs and bars.. also has a lovely park and lots of nice dog walks.

The cottage is immaculate and beautifully designed. Lots of thoughtful touches like blue tooth speakers to make it home from home. Really impressed.

We have just spent 5 days at Fern Cottage and what a lovely place it was. Everything in the property appeared to be new and the owner has thought of everything. It was very comfortable, clean and the kitchen was well stocked with staples plus a lovely basket of bread, scones and milk on arrival. The cottage is in easy walk of Matlock and Matlock BaRead moreth and although on the A6 we didn't notice the traffic once inside. Great place to stay as very easy to explore the area from here plus good walks on your doorstep. Hide

A beautifully decorated and furnished cottage with everything you would need for a short break. Ideally positioned to explore the area, the downside being the busy road and offsite car parking, but minor points.

What a beautiful well equipped cottage. Very clean, cosy and perfectly put together. Everything in working order. I was well impressed with their polite nicely spoken fire alarm speaker, i sprayed deoderant rather generously and set the alarm off for a few moments, very up to date fancy alarm indeed! impressive! i would give the cottage 6 stars buRead moret then too many people would book it and i wouldn't be able to get in there. lol. Absoluetly loved the place. Already recommended to my friends. Hide
