1 / 24Greenhouse Cottage
Meerbrook, Staffordshire
Greenhouse Cottage is a romantic former cart house near Leek for two, with countryside views from every window, an enclosed rear garden and one well behaved dog welcome.
Greenhouse Cottage is a thoughtfully restored cart house dating back to the 1800s, in a lovely rural setting within the Peak District National Park, just off the beaten track. It is a romantic dog friendly bolthole for a couple and one well behaved dog on a working farm, with countryside views from every window.
The kitchen/diner has a range electric cooker, a coffee machine and underfloor heating, and the dog usually discovers that warm floor within minutes of arriving. Plans for the day are made round the dining table, with the views coming in through floor-to-ceiling windows, and the lounge, with its TV and comfortable seating, is where feet go up after a day hiking the hills.
Upstairs, the super-king-size bedroom has exposed stone walls and beams full of character, with an en-suite shower room for the mornings. At the rear, a pretty enclosed garden looks out over fields where sheep graze with rolling hills behind them, and a BBQ, table and chairs make long evenings out there easy while the dog keeps a watchful eye on the flock.
Walks for you and the dog start straight from the doorstep, and the dramatic gritstone scenery of the Roaches is close by for walkers and climbers. Tittesworth Water is 1 mile away, with kayaking, canoeing, raft building and two hides for bird and wildlife watching, and Leek, the nearest market town, is 4 miles off for antique shops and markets. Alton Towers makes a fun day out for all.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Greenhouse Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Greenhouse Cottage welcomes dogs — one dog is accepted per stay. The cottage has an enclosed rear garden, so your dog has a safe outdoor space, and the surrounding farm lane and the Roaches gritstone edge are right on the doorstep for walks.
Are dogs allowed at Greenhouse Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so there's nothing to suggest the welcome is limited to particular times of year. It's worth noting that the cottage has heating and cooling units throughout, which is a genuine practical bonus for thick-coated dogs visiting in summer.
What should I know before visiting Greenhouse Cottage with my dog?
The one-dog limit is there for a clear reason: Greenhouse Cottage sits on a working farm with livestock, so keeping numbers manageable makes sense for everyone. Your dog will have the enclosed rear garden as a safe space, but you'll want to be mindful of stock over the wall when out in the yard or lane. It's a setup that suits a single well-travelled dog and a pair of walkers who are happy to spend their days out on the hills.
