Dog-friendly Derbyshire

Enjoy a dog-friendly escape in the Peak District with this first floor one bedroom apartment.

This delightful farm holiday cottage dates back to the 1640s and adjoins the owner’s impressive home which stands in its own grounds and mature gardens.

The cottage is situated on the edge of the unspoilt Peak District village of Monyash, just 4 miles from Bakewell; the delightful market town at the heart of the Peak District. During your stay be sure to add a meander around the picturesque village of Monyash and an afternoon exploring the shops and eateries in Bakewell to your agenda. Whilst this isn’t a coastal destination, you may think twice if you stumble across Matlock Bath, with its seaside-like row of amusement arcades and fish and chip shops.

Not forgetting about the sheer beauty of your surroundings; walking and cycling in this area proves to be popular and there are lots of unique country pubs around to finish your adventure with a reward.
