Overview
Property code: 81043

This is the perfect place to call home for those looking for a quaint village escape surrounded by unspoilt countryside with plenty of village amenities to sample within walking distance of the cottage.

Surrounded by the delights of the Derbyshire Dales countryside, there’s a plethora of walks to indulge in which are perfect for walkers, stick chasers and cyclists alike. Welcoming all the family including the two four-legged members, this cottage sleeps four in two cosy bedrooms. Explore plenty of stunning, hilly footpaths through the village to find outstanding views before returning to clean off muddy paws and dirty boots in the handy utility room. At the end of the day, cook up a storm in the kitchen or potter to the dog-friendly pub in the village for a hearty meal.

With exposed beams and original stonework this warm and welcoming farmhouse is full of character. Relax amongst country cottage styling, dining at the table and snuggling on the sofas by the light of the wood burner, as your furry friends curl up for a snooze in the warmth. Wake to the sound of birdsong in the pastel first floor bedrooms decorated with floral wallpaper, before enjoying a morning cuppa in the split-level landscaped patio garden. Ideally placed to take in the far-reaching views over the village, let your pup scamper in the garden as you fire up the BBQ for al fresco dining.

An excellent base for walking, your pup will be in heaven! Head to the wooded valley of the Deep Dale Nature Reserve (9.5 miles), or climb to the imposing ruins of Peveril Castle (20 miles) to enjoy the breathtaking views over Hope Valley. Explore gardens and parkland (on lead) at the beautiful Chatsworth (9 miles), explore an array of eateries and independent shops in Matlock (4.5 miles) or visit The Heights of Abraham (6.5 miles) another great dog-friendly attraction.

Comfortable cottage - great having a real fire given the change in weather. Good location for walks and attractions. Bowling green is a great pub for drinks and the village shop is fab. Everyone we met in the village were super friendly. Road parking not an issue - got parked very near cottage each time.

Compact, with most things you need except consumables (no welcome pack provided and not even a solitary stray teabag lurking in the back of a cupboard, so you know it is well cleaned).
