1 / 17Hadrians Wall Escape
Irthington, Cumbria
A lodge pod for two at Irthington on Hadrian's Wall, with its own decking and hot tub, a shower room and open country in front of it, one dog welcome.
One room, one dog, and Hadrian's Wall running across the country in front of the window. Hadrians Wall Escape is a lodge pod for two at Irthington, dog friendly with one dog welcome, standing in enclosed ground with its own decking and a hot tub on it. The Wall path passes close enough that a day begins by walking out of the gate instead of driving to the start of something.
Inside is one space used properly: a double bed at the back, a lounge with a television, a dining table for two and a compact kitchen, then a shower room larger than the outside of the pod suggests. The decking is private to this lodge and carries the tub and the seating. The enclosed ground around it is shared with the other pods, which is worth knowing before a dog goes off the lead in it.
Couples who want to walk the Wall without a fort's worth of house around them are the audience here. The pod does what a cottage does at a fraction of the scale, and what it adds is that deck: a dog flat out on the boards, the tub going, and open country in front where deer, hares and red kites keep turning up as the light goes.
Brampton is the near market town and Carlisle sits west with a castle and a cathedral in it. Lanercost Priory stands a few miles off in the Irthing valley, Birdoswald's Roman fort holds the Wall above the river gorge, and Gelt Woods and Talkin Tarn both give a dog a proper walk. The Lake District and the Scottish border are each inside an hour, which makes this an unusually flexible base.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Hadrians Wall Escape dog friendly?
Yes, Hadrians Wall Escape welcomes dogs — one dog per stay. The lodge pod has its own private decking and enclosed ground around it, and the Hadrian's Wall path runs close enough that you can head straight out for a walk from the gate without getting in the car.
Are dogs allowed at Hadrians Wall Escape year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the host directly to confirm availability for your dates. Given the nature of the pod as a couples' retreat built around walking the Wall, it's set up with dogs in mind throughout.
What should I know before visiting Hadrians Wall Escape with my dog?
One dog is welcome, which is the stated limit, so it's not suitable for households with more than one. The ground surrounding the pods is enclosed but shared with the other lodges on site, so it's worth bearing that in mind before letting your dog off the lead — the private decking is your guaranteed dog-friendly space to yourselves.
