Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Alton

We have just returned from a week in Dalemore Cottage and could not have wished for more. The cottage itself is set in the most glorious location and the inside is just as good. Comfy bed, well equipped kitchen and beautifully furnished. Pru and Chris were the most welcoming of hosts and Pru’s home cooked meal service was excellent, I even asked for some of the recipes. If you are looking for a quiet spot, in a fabulous location with excellent hosts this is the place for you.

The property is beautiful and exquisite in design. Large TV’s in every room and all mod-cons. There is plenty of space for 4 adults to move around. There are also plenty of little extras in the kitchen like condiments and spices, tea, coffee etc. There is a large gas BBQ that we used and a fire pit in the centre of a large table. Fortunately one of us thought to bring wood as there wasn’t any provided and it’s such a lovely feature to have a blazing fire late at night whilst drinking & having good conversation. Maybe it’s an idea for the host Ash to either provide wood or to make note on the booking that guests are to provide their own. The pub next door is also really nice. I honestly didn’t want to leave and would say that a one night stay is not enough. My only negative would be that as check-in is not until 4pm & check-out is 10am that when you consider maybe 7 hours sleep you’re not actaully getting much time to enjoy the place especially if like us you go out for a few hours.

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our stay at Marylise’s place. The home was spotless, exactly as described, and located in a wonderfully peaceful and private area—while still being easily accessible to the city. Marylise was incredibly accommodating, kindly allowing us a late check-out due to remote work commitments, which we really appreciated. This was genuinely one of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed at, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!

The cottage was beautifully and tastefully decorated and equipped with modern kitchenware and thoughtful touches. Lucy was very flexible regarding our early arrival time and talked us through our concerns about the hilly nature of the walk down to the river. Our neighbours and everyone in the village was friendly with tea rooms and pubs and shops all within walking distance. The 10 minute drive to Bakewell and larger supermarkets was easy. Parking was not always easy but we usually found a space and if not, found the Car Park available about 5 mins walk away for a suggested contribution. June 21-28 was Well Dressing week - same time of year every year - and we wish we had been aware of this when we booked. We loved our trips to nearby Eyam, Edale, Haddon Hall, Bakewell, Buxton and Matlock. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

What a lovely cottage! The views were spectacular! My daughters and I took many pictures of the countryside and of the adorable sheep grazing nearby. The cottage was perfect for resting up and refreshing between our trips to the Chatsworth House and Gardens. We really appreciate the opportunity to stay in this beautiful home—and in such a spectacular neighborhood. Thank you for your hospitality! Blessings, Laura

Pigeon Loft Cottage was just as described, a very cute and cosy home away from home. The cottage was very easy to find following Susie’s directions and there is ample parking at the property as well as around the area. The check in was delayed by an hour or so due to us booking an extra night but Susie was extremely apologetic and did her best to get the cottage ready as quick as she could and allowed us to leave our shopping in the fridge during. Although she was trying to get it ready quickly, the cottage was still very clean and tidy when we did check in. The rest of the trip was perfect and we really enjoyed our stay :)

The house was beautiful, and if possible exceeded our expectations. We were blessed with weather much better than that predicted, and were therefore able to take advantage of the close proximity of the property to Bakewell town, the Monsal Trail and enjoy the views from the patio at the property. We look forward to visiting again.

Beautiful location no problems everything you need loved our stay

Beautiful caravan in a stunning location Ashbourne heights caravan park is lovely, very well maintained. Spotlessly clean throughout, comfortable and cosy, decking with chairs is a great addition especially with the weather we had. Walking from the door step, we did Thor’s cave circular and stepping stones, tissington trail is just off the site entrance so no need to drive anywhere. Honestly one of the best family weekends we have had will be booking again in the future ❤️

Beautiful cottage set in wonderful grounds with a playhouse for the little ones. The pool was great too. Such a great place to stay, and under 10 minutes from Ashbourne. Around 30 mins to kid friendly hiking/walking in the Dales. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful weekend here. Beautiful cottage in a gorgeous, tranquil setting with superb hosts, very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. They had thought of everything from a welcome bottle of wine and sweet treats to robes, sliders and even treats for the dog! Comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, lovely pool and hot tub. We will definitely return. If you’re looking for rest and relaxation in quiet and peaceful surroundings this is the place for you.

We had a wonderful stay at The Shippen. The property was perfectly located for a peaceful few days away from busy life but had amenities close by. We had access to the great pool and a private hot tub that the kids loved. I would definitely recommend The Shippen for families looking for a getaway that has lovely surroundings and accommodation that has everything you need, including games and activities for entertainment. Thank you Sara and Phil for having us, we loved our stay.

Outstanding in every way. This cottage is worth more than 5* it simply cannot be beat. We have been to a lot of nice properties but Richard and Jo have made this property and their 16 acre land simply beautiful. Very nice people as well.

Lovely place to stay, house and location was beautiful. Host was so welcoming and friendly. The animals on the little farm was such a lovely touch. We had an amazing time, highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Annabel’s and will definitely be going back asap! It was perfectly peaceful with gorgeous surroundings and was even better than the pictures! The pool was much bigger than we thought and was such a joy to have, the decking area was huge with stunning views and the garden truly magical! This was great value for money! Annabel was a fantastic host and very helpful and friendly and the animals were all very friendly too! The cats didn’t come to close though as we had our dog, who had a dream just roaming free! Thanks Annabel, be back soon !

The Chapel is stunning and beautifully decorated. So many different lovely spaces in the house, and all comfortable and inviting. We just wish we could have stayed longer. The pool is great too. A really special spot.

Jazzy was very quick a responding to messages. Always replied in a friendly manner. Her home is lovely and had helpful information inside. Great location. If we are ever in the area again, I'll be hopefully staying here if available.

Charming accomodation with stunning views and the perfect set-up for you and your pup! We had a wonderful time staying in the Annex. Melissa and Steve were so friendly and even treated us to some vegan goodies when we arrived (after thoughtfully checking our doetary requirements ahead of time). They shared plenty of helpful recommendations - including a wonderful hike around Black Rocks and a tranquil canal. Plenty of dog friendly activites a short drive away and excellent walks from the doorstep. Thorouhly recommend the Annex as a base to explore the Peaks and Derbyshire Dales.

James was very helpful both before and during our stay. He was able to accommodate our requests. You definitely need a car get around We would not hesitate to stay there again. The accommodation was well equipped and had everything we needed for a family get together. Thank you James

I visited chee dale lodge with my partner and our young Labrador, and we had a lovely week long stay. The lodge is comfortable and well-equipped with an oven, stove, microwave, and fridge freezer. There were plenty of pots and pans, and salt and pepper to cook with, but no oil (I'd recommend bringing your own). For the dog, there was a good sized grass area, with a bin, a short distance from our doorstep. There is lots of nature to enjoy in the local area. In particular, we enjoyed visiting Luds church, three shires head, and the monsal trail. This was a great base, with most places we wanted to visit being 20 mins away or less. Highly recommend!

Second time of staying in this lovely cottage. The perfect weather allowed us to fully enjoy the brilliant garden. A short stroll into Hartington village and superb walks from the doorstep. We’ll be back!

Our one night stay at Pauline's place was ideally suited for an event at Darley Moor. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy and the shower was particularly good. Pauline communicated well with us and even let us know we could arrive a little bit earlier if needed. We were on the edge of what looked like a lovely village so it was really nice and quiet.

We loved every second of our stay, the only disappointing thing was not being able to extend as it was booked! The perfect space with incredible views in a beautiful location so peaceful and calm. Exactly as described and lots of great recommendations to fill our time whilst we stayed. We will definitely be returning sooner rather than later!

We had such a wonderful stay at the bakehouse. It’s clear this is this is a much loved family retreat, not an Airbnb that cares only about the margins and provides the bare minimum. The house is so well appointed: it makes it so easy to self cater when there is everything you could possibly need. Homemade pizza at dusk on the terrace listening to the birdsong was a highlight for us: how wonderful to have a pizza oven! We were also very grateful for the amount of items available for our baby which meant we could travel light. The hosts provided a very helpful manual and were responsive to any questions. It’s an ideal base to explore so many beautiful places close by and we certainly hope to return.
