Charles Cotton is one of the B&Bs/hotels wher your dog is welcome too. We stayed with kids aged 6+8 and a 10-year-old lab and we all loved our weekend stay with CC and we're definitely coming back!

The Charles Cotton is a lovely hotel in the beautiful village of Hartington. We stayed for four nights and really enjoyed our stay.
