Sleeping two in one king-size bedroom and with one canine companion also welcome, this cottage is perfect for a romantic break in beautiful County Durham.

 

Inside, this single-storey property, part of a small complex of three, has been superbly designed with chic, stylish furniture and contemporary colours. The spacious, open-plan living space is light and airy, with a smart, bright kitchen and dining table and a comfortable lounge area, complete with a cosy rug and a fire, in front of which Fido can toast his toes while you relax with a drink on the sofa. At night, if you wish, your four-legged friend can keep you company in the stylish king-size bedroom. In the morning, throw open the large patio doors and stroll out onto the lovely, private patio where you can enjoy a morning coffee in the sunshine while your four-pawed pal snuffles about on the shared lawn.

 

With plenty of walks straight from the door, the cottage is also within a short drive of the beautiful North Pennines.

For a spot of culture, head to the historic city of Durham (12 miles) where you can stroll around the pretty cobbled streets or wander along the banks of the River Wear and admire the views of the cathedral and castle before heading for lunch in one of the city’s many dog-friendly eateries.

A lovely cosy ,comfortable, and very well equipped cottage. Beautiful views and an ideal base to explore Co Durham. The open plan living style made it easy for my husband who at the time of our visit used a walking stroller to get around inside. The welcome goodies were very much appreciated.

A lovey cottage in a tranquil setting. If you are looking for a spacious one bed cottage then this is perfect. Very clean modern and tidy. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need. There was a welcome pack including home made bread made by Malcolm which was a lovely treat. I dont own a dog but they would be happy staying here and Read moreeven have an exercise area to have a run about. The views from the cottage are amazing. I would definitely love to return to this wonderful cottage Hide
