- Evidence: 9 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 98 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.2/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet-friendly summary
Right beside the Monsal Trail in the Peak District village of Tideswell, the Anglers Rest pairs a friendly pub with a simple self-catering apartment, and it has quietly become a favourite with walkers and their dogs. If your idea of a break is boots on, dog at heel and a good pint at the end of it, this fits the bill.
The apartment and pub are both genuinely dog-friendly, and guests travelling with dogs describe a refreshingly relaxed approach, with several reporting no extra pet charge and no fuss about how many dogs come along. It is still worth confirming the current terms when you book, but the welcome is warm.
What dog owners appreciate most is how practical the apartment is for muddy paws. The flooring shrugs off wet dogs and walking boots and is easy to wipe down, and the open-plan layout gives everyone room to dry off and put the kettle on after a walk. Downstairs, the pub earns steady praise for good food, well-kept beer and staff who go out of their way, even when busy.
The location is the real draw. The Monsal Trail is on the doorstep, with a huge choice of walks straight from the door and the wider White Peak to explore, all in a genuinely beautiful setting.
Only small things crop up. The apartment is upstairs, so bear that in mind if your dog struggles with steps. A few guests mentioned the shower not holding a steady temperature, some condensation in the bathroom, and would have liked bigger towels or a kettle to hand. None of it took the shine off their stays.
This suits an active walker travelling with a dog who wants a no-frills, easy-to-live-with base right on the trails, with a proper pub downstairs. For a dog-friendly Peak District bolthole, the Anglers Rest is hard to beat.
