Bring your delighted dog with you for a family stay at this lovely Derbyshire retreat. Situated in a complex of attractive stone buildings near Over Haddon, 2.5 miles from colourful Bakewell and 10.5 miles from Buxton, the three-bedroom, single-storey cottage sleeps five guests and has its own courtyard garden. In addition, guests have access to a shared games room, two dog exercise paddocks and a BBQ area.
Make your way inside to emerge in a light-filled, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Lose yourselves in the incredible view through the picture windows as you unwind with a cup of tea after each excursion. Find a good film on the TV to enjoy together in this beamed space before whipping up a delicious feast in the kitchen for your party to sit down to at the table. When eyelids begin to droop, amble through to your bedrooms. These include a double, with an en-suite shower room, a twin and a single. The family bathroom is also in this part of the cottage. Spill out into your enclosed garden to enjoy the summer sunshine. Take your pets for a run in one of the paddocks or cook supper in the fresh air as you absorb your picturesque surroundings from the shared viewpoint and BBQ area. There is an on-site laundry room, plus a group dining space that can be booked in advance. There is ample parking in a shared car park.
Head into Bakewell to explore the town and buy delicious pudding to bring back and enjoy at the cottage. Buxton, with its beautiful Pavilion Gardens, is also a great day out. History lovers will wish to visit Haddon Hall, 4 miles away, and Chatsworth House, 6.5 miles away. Those with children may be keen to consider a day trip to Alton Towers, 23 miles away.
