1 / 24Codley Farmhouse
Bardon Mill, Northumberland
A spacious farmhouse for eight near Bardon Mill, within metres of Roman Vindolanda, with a large enclosed garden, a reading room with a telescope and two dogs welcome.
Roman Vindolanda is within metres of Codley Farmhouse, a spacious, charming farmhouse in a peaceful, verdant valley near Bardon Mill, and guests enjoy free entry to Vindolanda and the Roman Army Museum. This dog friendly farmhouse sleeps eight, and behind the house a large enclosed garden is ready for the two dogs who come along.
The front door opens into a stone flagged hallway with a large map of the area, and the utility room across from it is the place for walking gear and boots when the dogs come home from a walk, with a sink and a spare dog cage if you need one. The generous kitchen and diner has exposed beams and a large farmhouse table made for celebratory meals.
In the lounge, a warming wood burner sits in the inglenook fireplace, with garden views and feather cushioned sofas. The dogs must remain downstairs and off the furniture at all times, and they curl up by the fire for board games and a movie. Beyond it, the light and airy reading room has books, a telescope for the dark skies and French doors to the garden, where the patio has plenty of furniture and a BBQ. On the first floor are the bright super-king, a twin and two doubles, one with an en suite.
The farmhouse sits within the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park, so clear nights bring exceptional stargazing. The Sill, 1.7 miles away, has engaging exhibitions and a living roof to wander, and the market town of Haltwhistle has shops, cafes, an outdoor swimming pool, woodland trails and a section of Hadrian's Wall for a day out with the dogs. Hexham has its historic Abbey and Sele Park.

Is Codley Farmhouse dog friendly?
Yes, Codley Farmhouse welcomes up to two dogs. The house is well set up for them — there's a stone-flagged utility room for muddy paws and wet coats after a day out, and a spare dog cage in there if you need one. Outside, the enclosed garden gives dogs a safe space to roam.
Are dogs allowed at Codley Farmhouse year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's best to check directly with the owner when booking if you're travelling at a particular time of year. What we can say is that the house is genuinely set up for dogs rather than just tolerating them, with a dedicated utility room and an enclosed garden.
What should I know before visiting Codley Farmhouse with my dog?
The house has one clear rule worth knowing before you book: dogs stay downstairs and off the furniture. If that's already how your household runs, you'll be right at home. On the upside, there's a utility room designed for exactly the kind of dogs that come back from a day on Hadrian's Wall, and Vindolanda — a world-class Roman site — is walkable from the door, with the Wall path itself welcoming dogs along its entire length.
