This was a lovely cottage, which had everything required for a stay with dogs. The enclosed garden was a plus as it meant the dogs could be safely let out.I would highly recommend this cottage for couples or a family to enable you to explore the Peaks National Park.

Lovely cottage full of character in a stunning location. Very central for visiting the Peak District towns and attractions and it's stunning countryside. The cottage is well equipped and was very clean. Very pet friendly with an enclosed garden and yard. There is also an enclosed field for dogs to use, but unfortunately the grass was too long for our scottie/westie cross to negotiate. She enjoyed her walks down the lanes though.There is a brewery /bar just down the lane at a local farm, which is open on Saturdays and Sundays during the summer season, which was an added bonus!Nigel is a very helpful and attentive host and answered any queries we had very promptly.

A lovely week in a neat little village.

A lovely week in the Peak District countryside in a small country village. The cottage was everything we wished for, centrally located between the larger towns that we visited over the week that we stayed. Wonderful hosts that made us welcome.

We had a fantastic weeks stay in the Old Coach House. The cottage is set in a beautiful location with a beautiful courtyard and garden, which I can confirm is indeed FULLY SECURE! The cottage had everything in it we needed and everything worked perfectly. It was a comfortable stay and probably the best set up for our two dogs to enjoy as they settled in from the moment we arrived. Nigel, the host, was there to greet us on arrival. He was very friendly and ensured we had everything we needed during our stay. The wider family live around onsite, who too were very friendly. They had lovely children who my children made friends with very quickly. The cottage is perfectly located, being centrally placed between The Peak District and the Derbyshire Dales. We covered 180k steps that week, with plenty around to see and do, it truly was a fantastic holiday! If you want a comfortable and central ‘base’ in this area, then pick The Old Coach House. We will definitely be back, thanks again Nigel!

Just had a wonderful stay at this cottage. Nigel and family were so friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, but also enjoyed the owls hooting and cows mooing. It was perfect. We visited the brewery in the village and really enjoyed it. Lots of places to visit including Bakewell, Matlock, Buxton, Stepping Stones at River Dove.

Brilliant stay, top host

We had a really enjoyable stay and Nigel is a brilliant host. Everything that you need is in the property and Nigel is very helpful. The children loved the 'walled garden' and the dog loved the private field. Will definitely return..

Home away from home.

Lovely cottage, has everything you need for a quiet getaway. Host is really nice and the area is lovely. We had two dogs with us and they loved the enclosed field to run around in. The surrounding villages are nice to visit and plenty of pubs and public trails to check out. All in all a perfect holiday. We Will be coming back.

The Coach House

Lovely old building in a fabulous location with everything we needed inside and enclosed garden outside plus use of the grass field behind for the dogs to walk and play in. Nigel the owner and all of his family there on the surrounding farm were very welcoming and friendly, good communications prior to arriving after booking, thank you for an enjoyable stay.

Fabulous Family Break In the Peak District

We had a wonderful time at Nigel's cottage in Aldwark A week in the October half term with our 2 boys, 10 and 12 and the dog. Nigel and his family made us feel so welcome, loaded us up with firewood for the wood burner and gave us great tips for dog friendly walks We had brilliant weather and did a couple of big hikes on the Peaks as well as just enjoying the cottage and the fields behind Thank you Nigel, we will be back, Anna and Family

Aldwark stay

Property was as listed and had read several reviews . Perfect for 2 adults and our dog, fenced off garden so we relax knowing our dog was safe. Rural location but only 20 minutes or less to Buxton, 15 to ashbourne, matlock or bakewell. Several local pubs but check online opening times especially if you would like food.
