1 / 18Hillhead Cottage
Buxton, Derbyshire
A three bedroom house for six, 3 miles from the centre of Buxton, with an enclosed lawned garden looking out to the hills, miles of walks on the doorstep and two dogs welcome.
Hillhead Cottage is a welcoming, dog friendly home surrounded by rolling hills, with miles of walks on the doorstep and the centre of Buxton just 3 miles away. It sleeps six across three bedrooms, with a sofa bed in the lounge for the sixth guest, and two dogs are very welcome.
There is space in the entrance hall to hang the coats after a day exploring. In the modern lounge, feet go up in front of the TV, and the sleek kitchen and diner has a table for six and French doors out to the lawned garden. The house rule for dogs is no furniture and no going upstairs, so evenings find the two of them stretched out on the floor beside everyone else.
On the first floor are the three bedrooms (king, double and single), two of them with lovely views over the surrounding hills and one en suite. Outside, the secure, enclosed garden has dining furniture and a lawn looking out to the hills, and the dogs are out on it the moment the French doors open. A garage takes the bikes.
The walking starts right outside, with miles of it across the hills for two dogs. Buxton has its famous Opera House, a wide array of pubs, cafes and restaurants, and the Pavilion Gardens, with beautiful parkland, a boating lake and a miniature railway. Go Ape Buxton is close by for anyone after big adventures high in the trees.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Hillhead Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Hillhead Cottage welcomes dogs — up to two are allowed. The garden is enclosed, which makes it a relaxed base for dogs and owners alike, and the French doors from the kitchen mean the outside feels like a natural extension of the living space rather than somewhere you have to make a deliberate trip to.
Are dogs allowed at Hillhead Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, but we'd recommend checking directly with the owner when you book to confirm availability and any conditions around your stay.
What should I know before visiting Hillhead Cottage with my dog?
The property takes a maximum of two dogs, and the enclosed garden gives them a safe space to settle in from the moment you arrive. One of the best things about the location is that moorland and limestone paths are accessible directly from the house, so morning walks don't require loading the car — which tends to suit dogs (and people) rather well.
