Felt Barn

Grindon, Staffordshire

A converted hay barn for ten in the Staffordshire Moorlands at Grindon, with an outdoor dog shower, an enclosed private garden with views of the hills and two dogs welcome, though not upstairs.

Felt Barn is a wonderfully converted former hay barn at Grindon, set in rolling hills just inside the southern boundary of the Peak District National Park, with glorious scenery on the doorstep. Ten guests share five bedrooms, and two dogs are very welcome, which makes this dog friendly barn an ideal home for a large family or a group of friends.

Muddy paws are dealt with before anyone comes in, thanks to the outdoor dog shower. The large entrance is the place to shed outdoor wear after a long day in the hills, and it leads straight into the well equipped kitchen/diner, where a large table gathers everyone for a celebration or simply a long supper with the dogs settled nearby. The dining area has its own Smart TV, and a utility area under the stairs and a separate WC complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the sitting room combines character and style with a log burner and Bluetooth speakers, and the five bedrooms lie down the hallway from it, three of them with an en suite shower room. Please note that dogs are not allowed upstairs. To the front, the enclosed private garden and patio have a table, chairs and a BBQ, with amazing views of the hills, and the dogs can sniff the breeze while dinner cooks.

Pretty walks and cycle rides start right from the door, around the Roaches and through the Manifold Valley, and Thor's Cave and the Manifold Trail are nearby. The market town of Ashbourne is 8 miles away, Bakewell and Buxton a little further, and Rudyard Lake, Tittesworth Reservoir and Carsington Water bring the water into a week with the dogs.

We research every description carefully and believe it to be accurate, but details can change. Please confirm anything important, especially dog rules, with the booking agent or property owner before you book.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is Felt Barn dog friendly?

    Yes, Felt Barn welcomes dogs. The property has an enclosed front garden with a patio looking out over the hills, and the surrounding Staffordshire Moorlands offer plenty of quiet walking country, including the level old railway track along the Manifold Valley.

  • Are dogs allowed at Felt Barn year round?

    The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so there's nothing to suggest they aren't welcome throughout the year. If you want to confirm arrangements for a specific time of year, it's always worth checking directly with the property when you book.

  • What should I know before visiting Felt Barn with my dog?

    Felt Barn allows up to two dogs, so it's best suited to a single group with one pair rather than multiple parties each bringing their own. It's worth knowing this upfront if you're planning a larger gathering, as the two-dog limit is firm and worth factoring into your group's plans.
