1 / 24Woodland Cottage
Bakewell, Derbyshire
A two bedroom cottage for four in Bakewell itself with an enclosed garden, a hot tub on new decking and two dogs welcome, moments from the Monsal Trail.
New decking, and the hot tub sits on it inside the enclosed garden instead of off in a corner of something shared. Woodland Cottage takes four in Bakewell itself, dog friendly and five star, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Two dogs are welcome. Being in the town rather than in a field outside it is the genuinely unusual part.
Almost every dog friendly stay in this corner of the Peak is a lane and two gates away from anywhere. This one puts a working market town at the door, so a day can start on foot and finish the same way, and nobody has to leave two dogs behind in order to go and find something to eat. Behind the cottage the garden is enclosed, seating and a barbecue set out alongside the decking.
Bakewell still does the job rather than performing it: shops selling things people need, places to eat that will take a dog, and the river running through the middle with a path along the bank. The cottage stands within a small group of properties, but the enclosed garden and the decking belong to this one alone. Two dogs get it every evening.
The Monsal Trail begins 0.2 miles from the door, the old Midland railway driven through the limestone and now a level track running 8.5 miles between Blackwell Mill and here, with four lit tunnels along the way. It leaves from the edge of Bakewell, so reaching it involves no driving at all. Two dogs on a former railway will go a good deal further than anybody intended.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Woodland Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Woodland Cottage is fully dog friendly and welcomes up to two dogs. The enclosed garden is private to this cottage alone, so your dogs have their own outdoor space each evening without it being shared with other guests.
Are dogs allowed at Woodland Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions, and nothing in the details suggests dogs are limited to certain times of year. If you want to confirm availability for a specific date, it's always worth checking directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting Woodland Cottage with my dog?
The cottage accepts a maximum of two dogs, so it's worth confirming if you're travelling with more. One of the real practical advantages here is that the Monsal Trail starts just 0.2 miles from the door, so you can head straight out on an 8.5-mile traffic-free route without loading the car first. Bakewell itself also has places to eat that will take a dog, which means your dogs can come along rather than being left behind at the cottage.
