Pet-friendly summary
Broadwood Farm is a spacious Peak District farmhouse that works especially well for big groups bringing their dogs. Its standout feature is the garden: the main lawn is properly fenced, there is a separate enclosed area just for dogs, and the whole space looks out over the Hope Valley. It earns a 4.6/5 paw rating from guests who stayed with their dogs.
Up to two pets can stay, and families regularly describe arriving with two dogs, children and several generations under one roof without feeling short of space. Guests say the secure garden was a deciding factor in choosing the house, giving them peace of mind while dogs and children played outside. Dog beds are kept in the utility area.
Inside, the farmhouse is well equipped and comfortable, with an Aga that copes with a full Sunday roast, two log burners and good-quality bedding. Hathersage village is a short downhill walk, with pubs, cafes and an open-air swimming pool, and there are footpaths into the surrounding hills from the area around the house.
The main drawback is noise. The house sits right on the main road, and traffic, along with the nearby railway line, is audible from some rooms; most guests found it bearable but it comes up often. There are several gates around the garden, and they need to be kept shut for the space to stay dog-safe. Housekeeping has been uneven at times, with reports of chipped crockery, dust and a kitchen that some felt was small for the size of the house.
For a large group with one or two dogs that wants a secure garden, big views and an easy stroll to village pubs, Broadwood Farm is a strong pick in the Hope Valley.
