1 / 24The Barn - Brassington
Brassington, Derbyshire
Two dogs are welcome at this characterful stone cottage for six in the centre of Brassington near Matlock, with a wood burner, an enclosed lawn and walks from the doorstep.
Walks lead straight from the doorstep of The Barn into the Peak District National Park and down to Carsington Water, and the two dogs on the booking can join every one. This characterful, dog friendly stone cottage sleeps six in the centre of Brassington, a village with a Norman church and historic streets, and it pairs original features with beautiful styling.
The large dining hall has room for coats and boots, so it is where the dogs come in from their walk, and its large dining table seats the whole group, staying busy after dinner with board and card games. In the snug lounge, light the wood burner and settle into one of the comfy sofas while the dogs take up position before the fire. Sleeping is split four ways, between a king size room, one double and a pair of singles, one of those downstairs with a trundle bed and an extra pull out mattress for children, plus a downstairs WC and a bathroom with a bath.
Mornings start with a coffee on the outdoor furniture, and the enclosed lawn area is ideal for children and for two dogs. The patio seating is there for the end of the day too, and a welcome pack greets the party when they arrive.
Carsington Water offers windsurfing, canoeing and fishing, plus an 8 mile mountain bike course, and the footpaths from the village give the dogs lots of country walks. For a family day out, Alton Towers, Matlock Farm Park, Chatsworth House and Kedleston Hall are within an easy drive, along with the pretty towns of Matlock Bath, Ashbourne, Bakewell and Buxton.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Barn - Brassington dog friendly?
Yes, The Barn welcomes up to two dogs. Outside there's a small enclosed lawn and a patio where your dogs can settle, and the surrounding area — including Harborough Rocks just 0.2 miles away and Carsington Water at 1.7 miles — means they'll have no shortage of good walking on the doorstep.
Are dogs allowed at The Barn - Brassington year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the description paints a picture of year-round stays — a wood burner with a first basket of logs waiting suggests it's well set up for colder months too. It's always worth confirming directly with the owner if you're planning a winter visit.
What should I know before visiting The Barn - Brassington with my dog?
The barn accepts a maximum of two dogs, and there's a ground floor bedroom specifically noted as the right place for a dog who has given up on stairs — handy if yours isn't keen on climbing. The enclosed lawn gives them a safe outdoor space, and with Harborough Rocks, Carsington Water and the High Peak Trail all reachable on foot, you won't need to load them into the car to find a proper run out.
