That’s our way of flagging the places that go further — beyond “dogs allowed”, with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs inside.

Set inside a beautiful riverside house hotel just outside Bakewell, Rafters is the kind of place that turns a post-walk meal into a proper occasion. The restaurant has a polished, food-first feel, with seasonal cooking, elegant surroundings, and that lovely sense that you can settle in rather than rush through.

What makes it especially useful for dog owners is their dog-friendly Garden View Snug. It means you still get the full Riverside experience, just with your dog included in the plan rather than waiting outside while you have the nice bit.

Ideal for those Peak District days when muddy paws meet grown-up lunch plans, and you want somewhere that feels a little special without losing the comfort of having your dog with you.

Good to know:

Water bowls available

Treats available

Doggy Menu available

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome inside in the Garden View Snug, so everyone gets the full Riverside experience without the pavement-waiting shuffle.
