1 / 20Fox House
Bakewell, Derbyshire
A detached character house for ten in Bakewell, within walking distance of the town, with a fully enclosed split level garden, a wood burner and two dogs welcome.
Fox House is a gorgeous detached character property within walking distance of everything Bakewell has to offer, and it sleeps ten, with two dogs welcome to join them. The garden here is fully enclosed, the Monsal Trail begins in the town, and beautiful rolling hills surround it, so this dog friendly house suits anyone who loves the outdoors as much as the dogs do.
The front door opens into a bright and airy kitchen/diner with a welcoming feel, a range oven, a breakfast bar and a dining table set in front of bi-fold doors overlooking the garden. Muddy boots and wet coats go in the utility room, where there is room for all of them. The lounge has a real sense of grandeur, with its high ceiling and bright bay window, and the wood burner crackling away is where both dogs end the evening.
On the first floor the attention to detail continues, with four king-size bedrooms dressed in pretty soft furnishings, a twin for the children, a stylish bathroom and a further shower room. Outside, the fully enclosed garden is split level, with patios for sitting out and areas of lawn for the dogs to explore, and a table tennis table waits in the garage.
Bakewell's shops, galleries, cafes and restaurants are all a walk away, and the River Wye meanders through the town with pretty waterside views and plenty of wildlife. The Monsal Trail, one of three car-free trails in this part of the Peak District, sets off from Bakewell, Chatsworth and Haddon Hall are within reach, and the footpaths and open access land of the White Peak and the Dark Peak give two dogs endless ground to cover.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Fox House dog friendly?
Yes, Fox House welcomes up to two dogs. The property has a fully enclosed garden, which means your dogs can roam freely outside without you needing to watch the gate — a genuine plus when you're sharing a house with a group of ten.
Are dogs allowed at Fox House year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your dates. What is clear is that the setup — enclosed garden, utility room for muddy kit — suits a dog-friendly visit in any season.
What should I know before visiting Fox House with my dog?
Fox House takes a maximum of two dogs, so if your group is bringing pets, bear that limit in mind when planning. The fully enclosed garden gives dogs a secure space to let off steam, and there's a utility room off the kitchen for drying out after wet walks. Nearby, Magpie Mine at Sheldon — around 4 miles west — offers open, largely empty high ground that's well suited to a good off-lead walk.
