1 / 18The Potting Shed - Peak District
Wormhill, Derbyshire
A cosy retreat for four in the farming hamlet of Wormhill near Buxton, with views to Mam Tor, a fully enclosed rear garden by an ancient stone wall, a bike workshop and three dogs welcome.
The Potting Shed is a cosy retreat in the rural farming hamlet of Wormhill, with views over the Peak District countryside and three dogs welcome. Its rear garden is fully enclosed, lined by an impressive ancient estate stone wall and looking out over a wildflower meadow, and outdoor enthusiasts are most welcome at this dog friendly cottage.
Family meals start in the kitchen, well equipped and with its own breakfast table, a wall mounted TV and a selection of books, where the dogs settle under the table while the coffee machine does its work. A pretty twin bedroom with countryside views and the utility lie one way, the bathroom and the master bedroom the other. Five stone steps take you up to the spacious lounge and diner, flooded with light from its many windows, with views of the garden and mature trees, comfy seating, an electric fire, and room at the table for six.
The rear garden has comfortable seating, a dining table and a charcoal BBQ, and that is where three dogs will spend a summer evening with the wildflower meadow in view. The front garden makes the most of the outlook towards Mam Tor, with decking and outdoor furniture. Cyclists get a bike workshop, locked storage and cleaning kit, and a boot dryer deals with the day's walking.
The Monsal Trail, a traffic free route through spectacular limestone dales, starts at Millers Dale station 2 miles away, and the Pennine Bridleway and Limestone Way are close for walks with the dogs. Tideswell, the Cathedral of the Peak, has shops and pubs, the spa town of Buxton has its Opera House, and Bakewell and Chatsworth lie within 12 miles.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Potting Shed - Peak District dog friendly?
Yes, The Potting Shed is dog friendly and welcomes up to three dogs, which is a generous allowance for a cottage of this size. A key part of what makes it work for dogs is the fully enclosed rear garden, bounded by an old estate wall built around two centuries ago — solid enough to keep even determined explorers in check.
Are dogs allowed at The Potting Shed - Peak District year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the property details suggests otherwise. If you want to confirm availability for specific dates, it's always worth checking directly with the host.
What should I know before visiting The Potting Shed - Peak District with my dog?
The enclosed garden is the heart of the dog-friendly setup here, so your dogs will have a safe space to roam without you worrying about the lane. Nearby walking is steep for the first stretch out of Wormhill before levelling onto the high limestone plateau, and Chee Dale — just below the village — involves stepping stones through the river, so it's worth bearing in mind if any of your dogs aren't keen on water. Up to three dogs are welcome.
