Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 6 - Hartington (1.5mls S), Derbyshire

Set in a scenic, rural area of the southern Peak District National Park, this elegant and characterful three-bedroom cottage is perfect for escaping the crowds with family or friends. Up to six guests and two canine companions can stay in this property with wooden beamed ceilings, chic decor and a garden. Spend your time away discovering the surrounding hiking trails, historical attractions and quaint countryside villages.

Enter the stone-built property and climb the stairs of this reverse-level cottage to reach a charming open-plan living space with a vaulted, wooden-beamed ceiling and brown and neutral decor throughout. Natural light fills the lounge/kitchen/diner with wooden flooring and a rustic feel from the mix of contemporary and traditional cottage furnishings. To one side of the room is a wooden, one-wall kitchen with stylish appliances.

In one corner is a wooden dining table with bench seating which sits adjacent to a cosy lounge area with two plump sofas. Also on this level is an en-suite king-size bedroom. Downstairs is a bathroom with a shower over the spa bath plus a super-king-size bedroom and a twin room.

There is ample off-road parking at this cottage. While staying in the Wolfscote Dale hiking area, start your day with a wander along the River Dove until you reach Wolfscote Hill Trig Point (less than 0.5 miles). Also nearby is the historic Thor's Cave (6.5 miles) and the neolithic limestone site, Arbor Low Stone Circle (6.5 miles).

Take a picnic to the wooded Dovedale Valley (10 miles) or walk along Limestone Way (10.5 miles). Pop to the pretty village of Ashford-in-the-Water (11.5 miles) or Tissington (7.5 miles).
