1 / 16The Hind House
Cottam, East Yorkshire
A detached farmhouse for eight on a working arable farm at Cottam near Driffield, with a large enclosed lawned garden, a dog kennel, an Aga and one dog welcome on a lead.
One dog is welcome at The Hind House, and the owners ask for it to stay on its lead the whole time, since this is a working farm in sheep country. With that settled, it is a dog friendly farmhouse for eight at Cottam Warren Farm, near Driffield in the Yorkshire Wolds, and there is a kennel for the dog in the grounds.
The house was built as the living quarters for the farm's workers and sits at the end of a long drive, under big beech trees on the edge of the fields. Outside is a large enclosed courtyard garden of lawn and patio, with a barbecue, placed to catch the evening sun, where the dog can lie out while the children play. Inside, the kitchen has a working Aga, with an electric oven beside it, and the dining room sits in the middle of the house by the sweeping staircase.
There are two living rooms, each with an open fire, one of them kept free of any television, and that is where the evenings go: fire lit, the dog on the rug, a book open. Upstairs are four bedrooms, two of them zip and link beds that split into twins on request, with an en suite and a separate shower room. A stairgate is available, and there is a welcome pack on arrival with doggy extras alongside it.
The Wolds are long, open, rolling country, with the Yorkshire Wolds Way passing nearby and the deserted medieval village of Wharram Percy in a quiet valley to the north west. Sledmere House and Burton Agnes Hall are both close, and the coast at Bridlington and Filey is a straightforward drive east for a day on the sand with the dog.

Are dogs allowed at The Hind House year round?

What should I know before visiting The Hind House with my dog?
