1 / 24Dawn's House
Cromford, Derbyshire
A colourful semi detached house in Cromford sleeping six, with views over Cromford pond, a three level enclosed garden, a hot tub courtyard with a Tiki bar and three dogs welcome.
A tropical forest mural, a Tiki bar and a hot tub in a hidden courtyard: Dawn's House in Cromford is a property with personality, and it welcomes three dogs. This dog friendly semi detached house sleeps six, and from its split level enclosed garden the views reach out over Cromford pond and the valley around it.
Fun fabrics and bright colours lift every room. A beautiful glass balustrade staircase leads from the hallway to the living space, which is all one, lounge, kitchen and dining together, with an island and six barstools for a celebration meal, two electric ovens and a wine fridge, and comfortable seating that gazes out over the water. Three dogs will be flat out by your feet before the first round of drinks is poured.
Two king size rooms and a single with a pull out bed make up the sleeping, and the bathroom offers a soak in the tub or a walk in shower. The enclosed garden steps down over three levels, with outdoor dining furniture, a corner seat, an egg chair and a firepit, all angled at the view, and play equipment on the lowest tier. Round the back the hot tub sits before the mural, a sight guaranteed to make you smile, while the dogs take the garden at their own pace.
Cromford has a fine selection of shops and pubs. Matlock Bath, a couple of miles off, has cafes, ice cream parlours and a cable car climbing to the Heights of Abraham, and in September and October its illuminations bring a Saturday parade of boats and fireworks. The Chatsworth Estate is 10 miles away, an easy outing with three dogs in the back.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Dawn's House dog friendly?
Yes, Dawn's House welcomes up to three dogs. The enclosed garden is split across three separate terraced levels, giving dogs plenty of space to explore, and they're also welcome on the furniture indoors — whichever bed they reach first, apparently.
Are dogs allowed at Dawn's House year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the host directly to confirm availability for your dates. With an enclosed garden and a hot tub, it's the kind of place that works well across the seasons.
What should I know before visiting Dawn's House with my dog?
The garden is fully enclosed, which is great for dogs, but it's arranged on three levels connected by steps — something worth bearing in mind if your dog struggles with stairs or has mobility issues. The village of Cromford is also very walkable straight from the door, with the historic mill, wharf and waterways all within easy reach on foot.
