This charming property, situated just 4.5 miles from Buxton, is ideal for avid walkers – including the canine ones! Sleeping four across two tranquil bedrooms with enough space for up to two dogs to stretch out, it won’t be long before you’re off down the local footpaths exploring the area. Head off down the 8.5-mile Monsal Trail that you can join just 2 miles away, taking you all the way into Bakewell (7.5 miles by road) or admire the grand buildings in the Pavilion Gardens (5 miles) while the dogs enjoy the stroll.
The reverse-level property, which is located on the owner’s working farm, is spacious and welcoming. Exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and peaceful decor in the open-plan living area make it a pleasure to relax in on chilly evenings, while the patio at the front of the cottage, bordered by a traditional stone wall, is perfect for sunny days. Downstairs, the bedrooms are bursting with rustic charm; wake up among wooden floorboards and more exposed beams and jump in the shower in the stylish shower room.
Head off to Poole’s Cavern (5 miles) where there are lots of trails for pups to enjoy in the country park; why not send half of the group into the cave while the others experience the film in the visitor centre with the dogs? Slightly further afield, your canine companions are welcome to join you in Blue John Cavern (13 miles) near Mam Tor; even little legs should be able to manage the steps up to the top of one of the most popular hills in the Peak District. Wander the quaint streets of Bakewell and learn about local life in the Bakewell Old House Museum (8 miles), or visit the grounds of Chatsworth House (11.5 miles) to get tails wagging.
