1 / 17The Stables At Lintz Green House
Lintz Green, County Durham
A single storey Grade II conversion for four near Rowlands Gill, with a walled garden over the Derwent Valley and the Derwent Walk from the gate, two dogs welcome.
12 miles of old railway line begin at the end of the track. The Derwent Walk leaves from the gate of The Stables At Lintz Green, runs through the country park and past Gibside, and for a dog friendly stay that allows two dogs that settles most of the argument before you look inside. The cottage is Grade II, single storey, and has no stairs in it anywhere.
The dining room was built as an orangery and keeps a bare stone wall down one side, with the garden and the valley beyond it through the glass. A step leads into the open lounge and kitchen, where everyone gathers at the island and a dog spends the week underfoot. Each bedroom carries its own bathroom, and the twin opens off the dining room, which puts a wall between the early risers and everybody else.
What this fits is two couples, or a small family, who want the walking to start without a car being involved. The garden is walled and enclosed with loungers on it and open country in front. Horses graze the field next door and riders come along the track, which means a dog meets livestock in the first hour and is steadier around it for the rest of the week.
Lintz Green stands above the Derwent Valley with Rowlands Gill below it and Gibside's Georgian estate a walk along the old line, where the woodland paths take dogs from end to end. Beamish is close for a day of trams and pit cottages, Newcastle and its quayside a short drive east, Durham the same going south, and Hadrian's Wall country opens west into Roman fort and moor.

Is The Stables At Lintz Green House dog friendly?
Yes, The Stables At Lintz Green House welcomes up to two dogs. It's a genuinely good base for them too — the garden is walled and enclosed, and the Derwent Walk starts directly from the gate, giving you 12 miles of old railway line through country park and woodland without needing to get in the car.
Are dogs allowed at The Stables At Lintz Green House year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability and any conditions for your dates. What's clear is that two dogs are welcome, and the walking from the door works in any season.
What should I know before visiting The Stables At Lintz Green House with my dog?
The cottage is single storey with no stairs, which makes it easy for dogs of all ages and sizes. It's worth knowing that horses graze the field next door and riders regularly come along the track, so your dog is likely to encounter livestock early in the stay — something to keep in mind if they're still getting used to that. The walled garden gives them a secure outdoor space, and the Derwent Walk through Gibside's woodland is accessible straight from the gate.
