1 / 21The Cottage - Whittonstall
Whittonstall, Northumberland
A beautiful woodland cottage for four at Whittonstall near Hexham, set within 600 acres of private woods and farmland, with a wood burner, an enclosed patio garden and one dog welcome.
The Cottage at Whittonstall is set within 600 acres of peaceful, private woods and farmland, and the walking for a dog starts right on the doorstep. This beautiful corner cottage is full of character and luxurious touches, a romantic, dog friendly retreat for up to four guests and one dog in the Northumberland countryside near Hexham.
Coats and walking boots stay in the hallway, and the lounge beyond is beautifully presented, with dual aspect windows and French doors onto the garden letting in lots of natural light. Reclining seats gather by the wood burner for film nights on the Smart TV, and the dog quickly settles in the glow of the fire. Meals come out of a fully equipped kitchen and diner, with a separate utility for washing and drying. A king size room off the hallway enjoys a lovely garden view, and the bathroom nearby pairs a freestanding bath with a walk in shower. Upstairs, an arched doorway opens into a luxurious super king bedroom looking over the garden.
The enclosed patio garden has sun loungers and a picnic style table, plus a covered seating area for evenings outdoors. It is a lovely spot for meals in the open air, bird watching and star gazing over the woodland, with the dog content beside you after a long walk.
Guests can walk around the grounds, and the local pub and restaurant is 1.3 miles away for lunch. The North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, has a myriad of walking and cycling routes for the dog, the Derwent valley and reservoir are close by, and the Roman town of Corbridge, 10.6 miles off, has independent shops, cafes and pubs.

Is The Cottage - Whittonstall dog friendly?
Yes, The Cottage welcomes one dog. The patio garden is enclosed so your dog can be outside safely, and there's a covered seating area with a sofa that, going by the sound of it, tends to get claimed fairly quickly. The estate's 600 acres of private woodland and farmland are also open to dogs, so there's no shortage of space to explore.
Are dogs allowed at The Cottage - Whittonstall year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the cottage is presented as dog friendly as a general rule. If you want to confirm availability for a particular time of year, it's always worth checking directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting The Cottage - Whittonstall with my dog?
The cottage accommodates one dog, so it's worth bearing that in mind if you're travelling with more than one. The ground-floor bathroom — complete with a roll top bath and walk-in shower — is noted as the room a muddy dog ends up in, which suggests the owners are well set up for post-walk clean-ups. Beyond the garden fence is the estate's own woodland, and dogs are welcome on the estate tracks and the nearby Derwent valley paths alike.
