Dog Friendly Holiday Cottages In Derbyshire

Leaving your dog behind when you go on your holiday can be heart-breaking, but by booking your stay at Knockerdown Cottages, there's no need. We offer four dog friendly holiday cottages out of the sixteen self catering cottages we have on site, so your four-legged friends are more than welcome.

Each of our dog friendly cottages welcomes up to 2 well behaved dogs, with a small charge of £25 per dog per stay, so everyone in the family can enjoy a relaxing break together.

With scenic walks right from your doorstep with miles of footpaths around Carsington Water and traffic-free trails across the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District there's no shortage of outdoor adventure for you and your dog.

One of the many perks of staying at Knockerdown Holiday Cottages is that you're just a short walk (literally across the road) from the welcoming Knockerdown Inn - a charming, dog friendly county pub that's perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the Peak District. Whether you're after a hearty meal, a refreshing drink, or simply a relaxed evening in good company, this local favourite offers a warm, friendly atmosphere just minutes away from your cottage.

Best of all, your four-legged friends are more than welcome, both in the pub and its spacious beer garden. With water bowls, treats, and plenty of fuss on offer, your dog will enjoy the visit just as much as you do.

You're also just a scenic walk away from Carsington Water, where you'll find several dog friendly cafés with stunning reservoir views. From light bites to homemade cakes and barista coffee, it's the perfect place to pause during a lakeside stroll. Dogs are welcome at outdoor seating areas, and there are plenty of open spaces and walking trails to explore.

If your dog's love to stretch their legs, you'll find a great choice of secure dog exercise fields just a short drive from your stay at Knockerdown Cottages. These enclosed spaces are ideal for off-lead play, training, or simply giving your dogs the chance to burn off energy in a safe and stress-free environment.
