Book a superb group stay at this farmhouse-style property in County Durham and watch furry ears prick up at the beautiful garden and exceptional country walks. Sleeping up to ten guests, and welcoming two hounds with open paws, this five-bedroom stone property near Lanchester has a beautiful garden and hot tub, and is 9 miles from Durham and less than 4 miles from the fringes of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Enter this high-quality home and wander into the open-plan kitchen/diner to enjoy a glass of chilled wine at the island as you watch the Smart TV and Fido and Fred doze off in the special alcove for hounds. You’ll find you have a washer and a dryer in the utility room. Choose between the conservatory or one of the two lounges, each with a Smart TV, to relax in after dinner with your furry friends. Also on the ground floor is a WC and fairy-tale children’s playroom/bedroom, with a small single bed. Climb the stairs to a family room, with an en-suite shower room, super-king-size zip-and-link bed (that can be arranged as twins in advance) and a day bed. There are also two super-king-sizes, with en-suite shower rooms and beds that can be arranged as twins in advance, and two king-size bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms and one with a freestanding bath. Take the pups outside when you awake. Light the BBQ and firepit later, while members of your party luxuriate in the hot tub or play with the pups. You’ll also find parking for three cars.
Pick up the 9.5-mile Waskerley Way, 10 miles away, or set tails wagging with a walk through Pow Hill Country Park, 12 miles away. Pups will also love to undertake the 11-mile Derwent Gorge and Muggleswick Woods Walk, 8 miles from your base.
