Get your friends and family together for a glamorous getaway in this stylish holiday home on the edge of the village of Cromford. Sleeping eight people over four bedrooms and welcoming four canine companions, it’s the ideal accommodation option for families or groups of friends that want to sample a slice of village life with their pups by their side. Spend your days exploring the glorious Peak District and your evenings soaking in the outdoor hot tub.

After a fabulous day rambling around the Peak District, return to your village retreat and cook up a feast for your nearest and dearest. Gather everyone together to eat at the table in the dining room, or step outside, fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco - your pups can run free in the enclosed garden while you eat. After dinner, treat yourself to a soak in the eight-seater hot tub, or make your way inside and watch your favourite TV shows while your dogs stretch out in front of the wood burner. At the end of the day, there are three bedrooms upstairs and one in a converted outbuilding to choose from.

Take your pups for a stroll at the Heights of Abraham (1.5 miles). Dogs are allowed to travel with you on the cable car up to the estate, and they’re welcome to dine with you on the terrace at the cafe and restaurant. Alternatively, take your pups on a steam train journey with Peak Rail. The route runs from Matlock Station (3 miles) to Rowsley South Station, showcasing some of Derbyshire’s prettiest landscapes along the way.

Great location, however the garden with large lawn is not enclosed. There is no downstairs toilet in the house its the en-suite that is in the bedroom across the patio area. There is also mould on the blind and lampshade in this bedroom. The kitchen tiled floor is very dirty.

Lovely cottage on the edge of Cromford. Great location for walks with the dog. Beds very comfortable and a lovely shower. Well equipped kitchen. Hot tub was brilliant. Lovely grassy area for our dog, although there wasn't a side gate to prevent her getting on to the driveway.

Lovely property in a good location. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and the hot tub is a perfect way to relax your tired leg muscles after a day walking. The close proximity of the canal tow path makes a perfect way to end your day.

The cottage is beautiful and the kitchen very well appointed. The position is very handy for Buxton and Bakewell and is in a beautiful area. Storage space is very limited especially for 8 adults.

Great stay in a super area with good walks and attractions around it ! Few little snagging points on the house but generally clean tidy and comfortable! The garden area is dog friendly and secure ! If your dogs are likely to go upstairs there is no barrier at minute so just check that with the owner !

A little bit snug down stair but that was probably because we had 5 large dogs with us. Patio well fenced which was great to be able to let the dogs out without needing leads on all the time.
