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.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The rooms that take dogs, and where they sleep.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
What a night actually costs, so nobody has to ring to find out.
How many dog-friendly rooms, whether they are ground floor, where the dog sleeps.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
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.
Stone inn on Hartington's market place, minutes from the walk down into Beresford Dale. The pub is unusually clear about it: all dogs are welcome in all areas, bedrooms included, and there are water bowls, snacks and dog beds laid on. Three en-suite rooms upstairs, so book early in summer.
Jacobean manor turned hostel on the edge of the village, with bell tents and Landpods in the grounds. Dogs cannot stay in the hostel bedrooms, only in the camping and cabin accommodation, at £10 per dog per night payable on arrival. Camping guests may bring dogs into the hostel's public areas, though not the kitchens.
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.
