The Moon Inn, a dog friendly inn in Stoney Middleton1 / 8

The Moon Inn

Stoney Middleton, Derbyshire

Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms.

A freehouse since 1821 in the Peak District village of Stoney Middleton, near the Chatsworth Estate, with dogs on a leash welcome in the bar.

Nine en-suite rooms make up The Moon Inn, from a garden cabin to superior and deluxe kings. All of them take dogs. A freehouse since 1821, it is surrounded by the countryside of the Peak District National Park near the Chatsworth Estate: a dog friendly inn for days in the national park with your dog.

Rustic and modern interiors meet in the rooms, several named after local streets such as Black Harry and Trinkey. The Moon asks for fully trained, well-mannered dogs, on a leash and with you in all public areas, outdoors included, and off the furniture in your room and around the inn. Please don't leave yours unattended; reception will arrange a time for cleaning. The Moon doesn't say how many dogs a single room takes, so check that while booking.

Leashed dogs may join you in the bar area. For meals elsewhere in the inn, The Moon doesn't say whether a dog can be at your side, so ask about it ahead of booking a table. The kitchen sends out freshly prepared, locally sourced, home cooked pub classics with an ever-changing specials board, and the bar pours real ales, fine wines and over 50 specialist gins.

The Coach House Family Suite is a standalone cottage style room with its own private entrance, and the Garden Suite sits separate from the main building. Eyam Moor and Village Circular Walk lies 1.7 miles from the inn, with Curbar and Froggart Edge at 2.1 miles, both on Wildpack's map for walking with your dog.
