Seventeenth-century hotel facing the duck pond, named for the angling poet who fished the Dove with Izaak Walton. Only two of its seventeen bedrooms take dogs, so say you are bringing one at the time of booking rather than on arrival. A good base for the Tissington Trail and the head of Dovedale.
Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.
Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Bank House is a place to stay on Market Place, Hartington. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
Beresford Tea Rooms is a place to eat on Market Place, Hartington. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
Six miles and a little over three hours down the Dove through Beresford Dale and Wolfscote Dale, returning over the tops by Biggin Dale or the lane to Hartington. Start from the pay-and-display car park off Hall Bank in Hartington, a couple of minutes from the duck pond and usually with space outside bank holidays. The National Trust owns much of the dale and asks for dogs on leads all year where stock graze and in the nature reserve sections, the Dove gives clean drinking and shallow paddling the whole way, and the stepping stones and narrow riverside ledges are slippery in the wet.
Nobody has written one for The Charles Cotton Hotel. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
Know one we have missed?
Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.
One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
