Close to the popular walk to Jacob’s Ladder, this pub is a lovely dog-friendly choice for a home-cooked style meal with a pint of ale. Locally sourced ingredients combined with an expert touch make this a good post-walk pub to get tails wagging and enjoy lunch or dinner with your pooch.

The Sunday roast at the Packhorse Inn is phenomenal, and with its large garden, there’s room for multiple mutts to spread out and enjoy the sunshine. It’s close to 13, yes 13 different golf courses, so watch out for stupidly bright coloured jumpers and golf talk! Cosy and characterful, this is a great pick if you love big pub gardens - which we're sure your canine companion will - with countryside views.
Stay at: Golf Course View | Sleeps: 2 dogs and 6 humans

This traditional countryside pub is also home to a restaurant. Dogs are welcome in the bar to patiently await a titbit to come their way. Accomplished chefs concoct delicious dishes from quality ingredients; these are complemented by a bold selection of beers, wines and spirits. It’s close to the reservoir walks at Yateholme Woods and Digley, for you to investigate with your hound after a spot of lunch.
Stay at: The Corner Post House | Sleeps: 3 dogs and 10 humans

This traditional Peak District pub, in the south of the National Park, is a wonderful refuge from the elements if you are in need of sustenance and cosy shelter after a strenuous walk with the dog. A dog-friendly choice for foodies and lovers of English staples like a roast and steaks; cooked breakfasts are available too for the early birds.

Blazing fire...tick! Cosy seating...tick! Cheery welcome...tick! All you need now is good company and a generous choice of ales, spirits and wines to go along with your dinner and the picture is complete. The Bulls Head in Monyash ticks all the boxes and being one of the oldest establishments in the region, you know they’ve had time to practise and get their trade perfected. With a lovely, warm atmosphere, we thoroughly recommend dinner and drinks at The Bulls Head.
Stay at: Chapel Cottage - Peak | Sleeps: 2 dogs and 2 humans
