please help! dog friendly ideas

[Bushcraftsman]

Afternoon folks,

Ive been scanning theough googpe for the past few days now trying to find what im looking for but keep coming up blank. Basically, it's my girlfriends birthday on the 19th april and I wanted to surprise her by taking her away for the weekend with her new puppy and go walking somewhere, ive been looking for like self catering cabins or lodges and stuff like that in the peak district and sherwood forest etc but they all seem to be mega expensive! Like 300 quid for a weekend!?

My criteria are:

Under 150 quid for a weekend
Dog friendly
Ideally a little scenic/picturesque but thats becoming less important now I just want to find somewhere
Within a 2 hour drive of derby
Close to somewhere we can go with the dog!

Any help really would be appreciated! I know im asking a lot here

Thanks in advance
Jordan

You won't want a great deal of walking space for the dog if it's a new puppy; people don't realise how harmful it can be to let them walk/run too much at a young age, but I'm sure you know all that.

Sorry I don't know the area you mention, but I hope you find somewhere nice and have a great weekend

Problem you have is easter mate. Everywhere is bumping up the prices

I know, nightmare! 225 is still a bit steep to be honest, that place looks absolutely perfect but still being an apprentice I have to be a tight ****

Tent and a campsite? Travel further to Scotland and camp for free? or a bothy?

or you could try campinmygarden.com?

Yes mate but ive just noticed they charge £25 for the hound lol so its 250

How about somewhere like Llandudno in North Wales?

Thats only 2hours and a bit from Derby.

Something like THIS is only £262 for 7 nights, so give them call and ask them if you can just book it for a weekend. Or THIS. It says they'll do weekend breaks.

Lots of useful info here. i think you!ll struggle to get what you want within your budget tbh. Have you thought of glamping? Maybe a yurt or tipi would be a bit cheaper?
