1 / 24School View Cottage
Brassington, Derbyshire
A five bedroom cottage sleeping nine in the middle of Brassington, with an enclosed garden looking out at open country and two dogs welcome.
Nine is an unusual number for a house to sleep, and it decides who books this one: a family with a spare, or two with an odd child between. School View Cottage sits in the middle of Brassington, dog friendly, five bedrooms to three bathrooms, with an enclosed garden looking straight out at open country from the back of a street. Two dogs come with it. That garden earns its keep, because nine people and a pair of dogs generate a great deal of traffic through one door.
Downstairs there is a bedroom as well as a bathroom, which takes the stairs out of the day for anybody who wants them out. The wood burner is where nine people end up after dark, a fire being the only reliable way of getting that many into one room. Two dogs at this size means the allowance is the constraint rather than the beds, so it suits one household bringing its own pair.
It suits people who want a village that is still a village. Brassington has gritstone streets running at odd angles, two pubs still open, and a church with a carved figure set into the tower wall from before the Normans rebuilt it. Two dogs get a village that expects them and lanes that go straight out into fields.
Ballidon, 2 miles north, is a chapel alone in a field with a farm for company and its village long gone, reached over pasture rather than by road. Minninglow stands on the skyline the other way, a ring of beeches on a hilltop visible across three counties, which is how everybody here navigates. Two dogs get quiet walled sheep country, short grass most of the way.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is School View Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, School View Cottage welcomes dogs — up to two. It's well set up for them too, with an enclosed garden at the back of the property and a village location that expects dogs as part of daily life.
Are dogs allowed at School View Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so there's nothing to suggest they're limited to certain times of year. It's worth confirming directly with the owner when you book, as availability and any house rules can vary.
What should I know before visiting School View Cottage with my dog?
The cottage allows a maximum of two dogs, so the dog allowance is the deciding factor rather than space — it suits one household bringing its own pair rather than multiple groups combining. The enclosed garden gives dogs a safe outdoor space, and Brassington itself has lanes leading straight out into fields, with quieter walking country nearby at Ballidon and Minninglow for those wanting to head further afield.
