There is a footpath accessible from the rear of the property, but did mean walking our dogs through a field of cows - which potentially could be problematic for some people. We ate regularly at the Devonshire Arms in Peak Forest. It is within walking distance, but unfortunately the local council has not maintained the footpath beside the busy main road. We therefore had to drive to the pub each time, which was a shame.

The enclosed garden and adjacent field were perfect for the dog to stretch his legs. The situation is perfect to explore The Peak District, we had some lovely walks and nearby Buxton, Chatsworth and Bakewell are well worth a visit. We'll be back I'm sure!

Parking area spacious but there is a bit of a walk with your luggage. No welcome pack or spare toilet rolls so make sure you have all you need. Huge field at the end of the garden for exercising oneâs dog. The garden is enclosed but not secure, the field is enclosed but not secure. The location described on the Sykes map is totally inaccurate, as is the What3words address given. You canât walk to the pub along the road to the pub as it is very busy. There are footpaths either side but some stiles require fit people and fit dogs. The cottage was quite well furnished but lack of Wi-Fi could be an issue. The beds were very firm and the sofa very soft. The double bedroom was very cramped with a bedside table on one side only . I think with a bit of thought and some smart furniture changes, this could be remedied. We had a fantastic meal at The Bulls Head in Foolow and fish and chips at Tideswell, very dog-friendly area, even got invited into the deli with the dog for a treat.
