Escape to this charming stone-built cottage situated just outside the picturesque market town of Barnard Castle. Ideal for small families or couples seeking a cosy countryside base to explore the stunning North Pennines, dogs will delight in a 6-acre pup-walking field alongside an on-site dog agility arena.
The open-plan living area welcomes you with vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams, and traditional flagstone flooring. This cosy hub seamlessly combines a lounge, kitchen, and dining space, making it perfect for gathering together after a day of adventure. Stretch out on the plush sofa in front of the Smart TV, warm the paws on the wood burner, or whip up hearty meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The dining table invites you to enjoy family feasts or take your meals outside to the garden for al fresco dining on warmer days. At bedtime, retreat to one of two beautifully appointed bedrooms – a master double and a snug twin – both with exposed wooden beams and finished in soft neutral tones. A gleaming family bathroom completes the accommodation. Outside, the enclosed garden provides a safe haven for children and your furry companions to roam freely on the lawn. For tail-wagging fun, guests can enjoy the shared dog agility area (extra charges apply) and explore the 6-acre dog-walking field. Private parking for two cars ensures your stay is hassle-free.
With its rugged fells, tranquil reservoirs, and the awe-inspiring High Force waterfall (9 miles), this area is a haven for walkers and their four-legged friends. 2 miles away, enjoy a leisurely wander through Eggleston’s charming village green, lined with quaint stone cottages, or explore the gardens of Eggleston Hall on unforgettable adventures with your furry sidekick. For a mix of culture and retail therapy, make your way to the bustling town of Barnard Castle (8 miles), where you’ll find an array of unique independent shops, pet-friendly pubs, and the medieval castle after which the town is named.
