Exceptionally spacious and filled with natural light, this barn conversion cottage offers an outstanding base for pet-loving families. Sleeping a total of eight human guests and three furry friends, this fabulous holiday home invites packs of all shapes and sizes to enjoy the Staffordshire countryside. Let Rover lead the way to adventure as you discover walkies in every direction, heading towards the humble town of Leek (3 miles) and journeying onwards into the vast Peak District National Park (10 miles). The exterior of the cottage has been thoughtfully updated with adventure-loving canines in mind and features a warm water tap, allowing you to wash off muddy paws before heading indoors.

Inside, make your way through the spacious hallway and into the impressive kitchen/diner to find a welcome pack of goodies, including a treat or two for man’s best friend. Once rewarded with a treat, let Fido venture into the bright and comfortable lounge to curl up and snooze. Upstairs, four exceptional bedrooms await the humans of the pack with zip-and-link beds offering splendid versatility (request your preference at the time of booking) and enjoy views of the surrounding countryside. Three bedrooms benefit from en-suite shower rooms, plus there is a further shared bathroom for added privacy. Finally, the property is complete with a large outside space, including a covered games area in an old hay barn and a furnished patio with steps leading off to a lawned area.

Discover the vast Staffordshire Moorlands surrounding you with new adventures each day. Spend time exploring the scenic Rudyard Lake (2.5 miles) and the wildlife-packed Coombes Valley (5.5 miles) close by. Make your way into the National Park to explore the River Dove (13.5 miles) and admire scenic spots, including Thor’s Cave (12.5 miles) and Bearstone Rock (10 miles), always letting your furry friend lead the way as you seek out thrilling footpaths and picturesque vistas.

What lovely accommodation. We booked both barns for a family Christmas and New Year celebration. With 4 adults, one 3 year old and 1 dog in Dunwood View and 4 adults and 2 dogs in Dunwood Retreat, the accomodation was exceptional. Lovely and warm, with everything you'd need in the kitchen. We hope to be back

Great house with everything we needed for a lovely family weekend away. Rooms were all very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Having the en-suites was great for an all adult group. Great to have options for table tennis and pool when the weather wasn't so kind! All in all highly recommended.

Matt and family were excellent hosts on hand next door in case of queries. The property was spacious, comfortable and well equipped for our group of 7 adults. We made good use of the pool and table tennis tables in the barn and enjoyed beautiful views across the fields beyond the patio. We were ideally situated for exploring the area.
