How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 2 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 12 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.3/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: September 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 policy at a glance
- Up to two pets per booking.
Pet-friendly summary
Squirrel Cottage is a smartly renovated cottage on Jordan Street in Old Glossop, right on the western edge of the Peak District, and it is unusually well set up for people who travel with a crate. Guests have found room for one downstairs and another in the master bedroom, which is a practical detail most listings never mention and one that matters if your dog sleeps in a crate at home. Up to two pets are allowed per booking.
Dogs are welcome inside the cottage itself rather than confined to a boot room or a utility, and guests consistently remark on how clean the place is, with no trace that pets have stayed before them. The finish is high throughout, with good beds and bedding, a well-equipped kitchen with a large fridge freezer, and a private hot tub to come back to.
The honest caveat is the garden: it is not fully enclosed. Guests with dogs have not found that a problem, but if you rely on opening the back door and letting a dog out unsupervised, this is not the cottage for it, and a dog with unreliable recall will need a lead outside.
Old Glossop is a good base for walking. Footpaths climb straight out of the village onto the moors, and there are bars and shops within easy reach for when you come back down. The living room has four comfortable chairs rather than a sofa, which a few guests have wished otherwise after a long day out. No pet fee is published for the cottage, so confirm any supplement with the owners when you book.
Best suited to an active household with a dog that is happy on a lead in the garden and wants proper Peak District walking from the door. On that basis Squirrel Cottage earns 4.6 out of 5.
