1 / 17The Stables At Lintz Green House
Lintz Green, County Durham
A Grade II listed stone cottage for four at Lintz Green near Rowlands Gill, all on one level, with an enclosed walled garden, the Derwent Walk from the door and two dogs welcome.
The Derwent Walk Country Park can be reached from the doorstep of The Stables at Lintz Green, so two dogs have woodland trails waiting from the moment they arrive. This attractive, Grade II listed stone cottage offers four guests a luxurious and dog friendly retreat, laid out on a single storey, with stylish interiors and a pretty enclosed garden.
Through the glazed front door is the orangery-style dining room, with a lovely stone feature wall and a view over the garden towards the nearby valley, a fine room for a long breakfast and a plan for the day. Beyond it, light and airy, is an open plan lounge and kitchen with comfortable seating, a large Smart TV and a kitchen island for casual meals and chatting with the cook. The dogs soon find a favourite corner of their own.
The super-king room has an en suite shower; the twin, reached from the dining room, has an en suite bathroom. Outside, the enclosed, walled garden looks across open countryside towards the Derwent Valley, with sun loungers and garden furniture for drinks while the sun goes down. The neighbouring fields are home to horses, and you may meet riders on the track while out walking with the dogs.
The Derwent Walk takes in the National Trust's Gibside, with its Georgian garden, woodland trails, wildlife and birds, and two dogs could walk it for days. Beamish, the Living Museum of the North, is 6.5 miles away, Hadrian's Wall country with its Roman forts is within 15 miles, and Newcastle, Durham and the sandy beaches at Tynemouth and Whitley Bay all make easy outings from the cottage.

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.
