Escape to the picturesque village of Hamsterley with your furry companion and enjoy a delightful stay for two in this lovingly restored former barn. Nestled in the Durham Dales, this cosy cottage retains its old-world charm while offering modern amenities and its own private cottage garden.
Step inside and enter the welcoming hallway, providing ample space for coats, hats, and all your dog's essentials. The south-facing living/dining room boasts exposed beams, stone walls, and a magnificent inglenook fireplace with a wood burner, creating a cosy atmosphere for you and your hound to unwind. The hallway leads to a well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances and a charming antique pine cabinet and dresser. Enjoy home-cooked meals at the dining room table or dine outside in the garden on sunny days. The ground floor is completed with a convenient shower room. When it's time to rest, head upstairs to the tranquil king-size bedroom finished with natural plaster walls, providing a serene environment for a peaceful night's sleep. Dimmable overhead lighting allows you to create the perfect ambience, and the pretty views of the hills beyond the village add to the rural charm. The private garden, accessed from the kitchen, offers a delightful space for you and your pup to enjoy. With its tiered layout, shingle flooring, and well-stocked shrub and flower borders, the garden provides a peaceful setting for outdoor dining. Take a seat at the garden table and benches while your four-legged friend explores their new surroundings.
