Cross Cottage

Crich, Derbyshire

A traditional stone cottage for four in the Derbyshire village of Crich, with wooden beams, an original multi fuel stove, an enclosed side garden and two dogs welcome.

Cross Cottage is a traditional stone cottage exuding charm in Crich, a pretty village at the edge of the Dales in Derbyshire, where the Crich Tramway Village and Crich Stand can both be found. Two dogs come along with up to four guests, and glorious walks begin right from the doorstep of this dog friendly cottage.

Step inside under wooden beams overhead, with a neutral colour palette throughout, and leave coats and boots in the handy cloakroom. The kitchen is a generous size, with room to cook a home made meal and eat it at the kitchen table. Through in the lounge an original multi fuel stove sits at its heart, with the first supply of fuel provided, and the dogs will be curled up in its warmth long before anyone picks a film on the Smart TV. A selection of games and books is there for an evening in. Up the stairs are a double and a bunk bedroom, plus a bathroom for a hot soak after a long walk.

The enclosed garden is to the side of the cottage, with a lawn and patio furniture, a lovely spot for children and for the dogs. Light the charcoal BBQ on a summer's afternoon and enjoy the peace of the countryside, and a welcome pack is provided for the first evening.

Matlock and Matlock Bath are close by, and the cable car climbs to the summit of the Heights of Abraham for panoramic views, cavern tours and walking trails. Gulliver's Kingdom is there for younger guests, and a little further away are the lovely town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House. Back in Crich, the walks from the door will have the dogs ready for an early night.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is Cross Cottage dog friendly?

    Yes, Cross Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. The cottage has an enclosed garden with a lawn and patio furniture, so your dogs have a secure outdoor space, and walks leave straight from the door in three directions.

  • Are dogs allowed at Cross Cottage year round?

    The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the details suggests otherwise. If you want to confirm this for a specific date, it's worth checking directly with the owner when you book.

  • What should I know before visiting Cross Cottage with my dog?

    The maximum is two dogs, so bear that in mind if you're travelling with a bigger pack. On the practical side, the cottage has a washer dryer, which is genuinely useful after muddy walks, and the enclosed garden means dogs can decompress safely after the journey. The surrounding countryside is quiet, particularly on weekdays, with routes up to Crich Stand and down into the Derwent valley all reachable on foot from the cottage.
