Bring your dog if
- You want a whole-property rental - no shared lobbies or corridors to navigate with your dog
- You're basing yourself in Bakewell / the Other UK and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
- The wider guest experience is strong - guests rate this 9.1/10 overall on booking platforms
Worth knowing
- Paw rating is based on 4 reviews - limited sample, treat as directional
- Pet fee: £20 per pet (max 2 pets) - research-verified; confirm at booking
- Shared corridors and common areas mean nervous or vocal dogs may find it harder to settle
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 4 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 947 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.1/10 - 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
Bagshaw Hall is a characterful, genuinely dog-friendly place to stay in the heart of the Peak District, set in a handsome historic hall just a short walk from the centre of Bakewell. Rather than a conventional hotel, it offers self-catering apartments within the Hall - several of them with their own mini kitchen and, best of all for dog owners, direct access onto the garden.
Dogs are made properly welcome here, with none of the long lists of rules that can make a stay feel grudging. The standout feature is an enclosed garden at the rear of the Hall where dogs can run around safely off the lead - a real bonus in a town-centre location. Guests travelling with two dogs consistently report easy, relaxed stays, and the staff earn warm praise for going out of their way to welcome four-legged guests.
Dogs stay for a modest £20 per dog, per stay, with two dogs coming to £40, and there is no size limit. The only firm ask is that dogs are not left unattended in the apartment, which is standard and sensible.
The location could hardly be better for a dog holiday. Bakewell itself is a famously dog-friendly Peak District town, with meadow and riverside walks right on the doorstep and the wider Dales and moors a short drive away. Private parking on site takes the hassle out of exploring.
It suits dog owners after a comfortable, self-catering base with a secure garden and a proper Peak District town on the doorstep - couples and families with one or two dogs will get the most from it, and it earns a 4.7/5 paw rating.
