Property code: OC-58957

This rural Peak District cottage with a garden and an open-plan layout sleeps up to three guests and four canine companions. Spend your time away exploring the walking trails, dog-friendly pubs and nature reserves nearby. At the cottage, you can admire countryside views from the floor-to-ceiling windows and spend cosy evenings relaxing by the fire or cooking homemade meals for your loved ones.

Step inside and find yourself in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with wooden furnishings and tones of grey and orange throughout. Natural light pours through the picture windows onto the sofa seating area surrounding a wood burner. In the corner of the room is a wooden dining table with chairs. Continue into the kitchen area to find traditional wooden cabinets making up the fitted ‘L’-shaped unit with white surface tops. Completing the interior is a contemporary family bathroom plus two bedrooms – a double with an en-suite wet room and a single bedroom. Outside, you’ll find a garden with a BBQ and furniture. There is off-road parking for one car.

While staying on the outskirts of the Peak District’s village of Flash, you’ll be just 6 miles from the spa town of Buxton. Take your four-legged friends for a run around the Three Shires Head (3 miles) hiking area where they can go for a splash in the waterfalls. Step back in time at the Ruin of Errwood Hall (9 miles) or Solomon’s Temple (4.5 miles) – which is also a great spot for far-reaching countryside views. For a challenging adventure, head to the top of The Roaches, a mountain peak 5 miles away.

A lovely setting, and a comfortable loft, we also noted that the loft has a lift access, and wet room. Dogs are very well accommodated, and super walks are on the doorstep.

Great location, comfortable living space, great views! We liked what the owners have done, a lovely little farm with comfy accomodation. No complaints. Very dog friendly but not 'doggy' come with or without your furry friends.

I loved everything about this place; the setting is stunning, and full of interest., What I really liked was that it felt like somewhere where the owners were saying this is what you can do as opposed to this is what you cant .

A great property in a beautiful location. This was just what we were looking for, big enough for 2 plus dog but also super cosy and perfect for coming back to after long frosty walks in the Peak District.

Beautiful location and views with everything a dog and their humans could wish for. So easy to let the dogs out of the property off the lead and without having to worry about anything.
