Blackbrook Lodge
Turnditch, Derbyshire
A dog friendly 12 acre site in the Derbyshire Dales at Turnditch, with a leisure fishing lake, glamping pods and lodges, and walks to local pubs and restaurants.
Blackbrook Lodge is a spacious, dog friendly 12 acre site in the Derbyshire Dales at Turnditch, close to Carsington Water and the market towns of Ashbourne, Bakewell and Matlock. Open all year round, it offers seasonal pitches, glamping pods and self catering lodges in unspoilt countryside, with a leisure fishing lake and two ponds full of carp for lazy days with the dog. The lodges have private balconies over the fishing lake, and the Duck pod sits right beside it.
Of the four pods, each sleeping two, Owl has its own wooded area near the lake that the site picks out for kids and dogs, with a picnic table and a giant firepit. Dog walks around Derbyshire and walks to local pubs and restaurants are among the things the site recommends, and there is an on site shop, free hot showers, and firepits and logs to buy. After dark the unspoilt surroundings make for good stargazing, with the dog curled up beside you.

Check availabilityFrequently Asked Questions
Is Blackbrook Lodge dog friendly?
Yes, Blackbrook Lodge is genuinely dog friendly and earns a solid 8 out of 10 on our rating. Dogs are welcome throughout the site, which spans 12 acres of open Derbyshire countryside, and there's a dedicated off-lead exercise area so your dog can stretch their legs properly. The relaxed, rural setting makes it a great base for a break with your four-legged companion.
Are dogs allowed at Blackbrook Lodge year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the site's setup — with hardstanding and grass pitches, glamping, and cabin options — suggests it caters for visits across different times of year. We'd recommend contacting Blackbrook Lodge directly to confirm availability and any seasonal conditions before you book.
What should I know before visiting Blackbrook Lodge with my dog?
The site has a dedicated off-lead exercise area, which is great for letting your dog burn off some energy, and the 12-acre grounds offer plenty of space to wander at a gentler pace too. Walks start directly from the gate, and if you're after something longer, the Tissington Trail is a short drive away and offers traffic-free routes ideal for dogs. Parking is right next to your pitch, so unloading with dogs in tow is nice and straightforward.
