Is Southview Farm Cottage dog friendly?

Yes, Southview Farm Cottage welcomes two dogs, which sets it apart from many one bedroom cottages that will only take one. The enclosed garden is immediately accessible through the French doors, so your dogs have safe outdoor space as soon as you arrive.

Are dogs allowed at Southview Farm Cottage year round?

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

What should I know before visiting Southview Farm Cottage with my dog?

The cottage accepts a maximum of two dogs, so it's not suitable for larger groups travelling with more. The enclosed, patioed garden gives dogs plenty of room to settle, and the surrounding area offers good walking — there's river path access on the Wear from the property, and Hamsterley Forest makes a longer day out if you're after forest tracks.

Southview Farm Cottage is a beautifully refurbished romantic getaway in a quiet country hamlet at Byers Green, with plenty of luxurious touches and a private, wood fired hot tub in the enclosed garden. The dog friendly cottage sleeps two, takes two dogs, and has walks, rambles, cycle trails and fishing on the River Wear, with a day permit, all from the door.

A vaulted ceiling lifts the bright, spacious open plan living space. The kitchen is beautifully finished, with a Nespresso machine and an island with bar stools for casual meals, while the lounge offers comfortable seating and a Smart TV. French doors open straight onto the garden, and the first coffee of the day can be taken out there with the dogs.

Upstairs, the large bedroom is set in the eaves, with an inviting king size sleigh bed, its own Smart TV, and a contemporary en suite with a wet room style shower. Outside, the enclosed garden pairs a patio and garden furniture with a barbecue for dinner. After a day exploring, the hot tub waits, and it can be made ready for your arrival by arrangement. Robes and slippers are provided, and the dogs keep you company from the patio.

The beautiful city of Durham is less than 9 miles away, with its cathedral, castle and river walks, and Auckland Castle and Raby Castle are nearby. The Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle has nature trails, Beamish makes a memorable day out, and the Durham Dales and Northumberland's glorious coastline offer the dogs fresh ground to discover.
