Meadow View House is a luxury County Durham retreat on a country lane, with lovely views over open farmland and a network of walking routes passing right by the gate. This dog friendly house sleeps ten and takes three dogs, and the kitchen even has a purpose built doggy alcove where your dog will love to snooze.

Dogs stay in the kitchen, dining and conservatory areas, and together they make the sociable heart of the house. The kitchen holds a double oven, a wine fridge, a Nespresso machine and a Smart TV to keep the cook entertained, a kitchen island for breakfast and a large dining table for long dinners together. The conservatory has comfortable seating and wonderful views of the garden and countryside beyond, and a warm utility room dries wet coats.

Elsewhere there are two lounges, one with a stone feature fireplace, a piano and a secret Harry Potter style play bedroom with a little bed for the children. Upstairs, every one of the five bedrooms is en suite, and one king has a freestanding bath and another a Juliette balcony. Outside, the three dogs have a spacious enclosed lawned garden with mature shrubs and trees to explore, while the hot tub bubbles beside the side patio and the fire pit waits in an elevated spot made for the views.

Plenty of walks with the dogs start from the doorstep, including connections to the famous Coast to Coast walk. Lanchester village is less than 1.5 miles away, with pubs, shops and restaurants and the Lanchester Valley Walk from the village car park. Durham is a must for river walks.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is Meadow View House dog friendly?

    Meadow View House is genuinely built with dogs in mind — up to three are welcome, and there's a purpose-built alcove beside the kitchen island that your dog will almost certainly claim within minutes of arriving. The kitchen and dining area is where dogs are asked to stay, which works out well for everyone: it's the warmest room in the house, it connects to the conservatory, and the boot room next door means wet dogs and wet coats don't make it as far as the carpets.

  • Are dogs allowed at Meadow View House year round?

    The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, but nothing in the property details suggests otherwise. If you're planning a visit at a particular time of year, it's always worth confirming directly with the host.

  • What should I know before visiting Meadow View House with my dog?

    You can bring up to three dogs, and the house is set up to make life easy — there's a boot room for drying off after walks, and dogs are kept to the ground floor kitchen and dining area rather than having the run of the whole house. The garden is lawned and enclosed, so you can let dogs out without worry, and footpaths pass the gate including a link onto the Coast to Coast route and the level Lanchester Valley line, which is particularly good for dogs that find hilly terrain hard going.
