Is The Walled Garden dog friendly?

Yes, and generously so — The Walled Garden welcomes up to four dogs, which is unusually accommodating for a property of its size. The south-facing walled garden is enclosed all the way round, giving dogs the freedom to run at full pace without anyone needing to watch a gate.

Are dogs allowed at The Walled Garden year round?

The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's best to check directly with the property when booking. What is clear is that the setup — underfloor heating throughout, ground floor bedrooms, and a fully enclosed garden — works well whatever the season.

What should I know before visiting The Walled Garden with my dog?

The house takes a maximum of four dogs, so it's worth confirming your numbers when you book. Four of the five bedrooms are on the ground floor with a wet room nearby, which is handy for muddy paws after a day out — and with open country in every direction around Walworth, muddy paws are a fair bet.

At The Walled Garden, the generous south facing walled garden has fabulous views of Walworth Castle, garden furniture, a decked patio and plenty of space for games or for dogs to run free. Four dogs are welcome at this bright and attractive dog friendly house. It sleeps twelve across five bedrooms.

Step inside to an elegantly furnished open plan lounge, kitchen and dining room, with a Smart TV with Sky and floor to ceiling bi-fold doors onto the garden. With the doors folded back, the room opens straight onto the garden where the dogs are playing. The kitchen is fully equipped, with an American style fridge freezer, and underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor.

On the ground floor are four bedrooms, among them a master double that has a TV and an en suite wet room, and a bunk room where a single sits above a double, plus a family bathroom. Up in the spacious loft conversion a large open space holds seating and a pool table, and a further bedroom with four single beds and its own en suite. When the games end, the charcoal barbecue and the decked patio call everyone back outside, four dogs included.

Walworth Castle Hotel is within walking distance, and non-residents are welcome at its bars and restaurants. The rural country around is ideal for walking and cycling with the dogs, and Barnard Castle, Raby Castle, Richmond and High Force are all within reach. The cathedral city of Durham is a drive away, the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors make bigger days out, and in summer the Kynren open air show tells an epic tale of England.
