1 / 24Vine House
Catton, Northumberland
A four bedroom house for eight at Catton in the North Pennines with a bathroom for every bedroom, an enclosed garden and a conservatory entrance, three dogs welcome.
Catton is a small village of stone on the moor edge above the East Allen, in the North Pennines, and Vine House sits in it looking out over open country. Dog friendly, eight across four bedrooms with three dogs, and an enclosed garden behind holding a patio and then a good deal of lawn. You come into the house through the conservatory rather than a front door.
Past that, the ground floor is one large open room: a kitchen along one side with a range and breakfast bar, the dining table in the middle, the lounge round a stone inglenook with the wood burner in it. Off the hall are a shower room down two steps and a utility big enough for boots, bikes and three wet dogs, with a door of its own out to the front.
Four bedrooms and four bathrooms for eight people is the specification that makes this one work. Every bed has somewhere to wash within a few steps, and every bed is a zip-and-link, so four couples or two families arrange themselves however suits. Three dogs is generous at this size. It is a house for the sort of gathering that would otherwise have to be split across two addresses.
Allendale is the nearest town, a square of stone buildings that empties into the street every New Year's Eve when men carry burning barrels of tar round it on their heads. Behind it the North Pennines run to the horizon in heather and grouse moor, worked for lead across two centuries and left with the flues, chimneys and packhorse tracks of a gone industry. Open ground runs for miles, and a dog gets a different walk every day of a week.

Is Vine House dog friendly?
Yes, Vine House welcomes up to three dogs, which is notably generous for a property of this size. There's an enclosed garden with a patio and a good stretch of lawn for them to roam safely, and a dedicated utility room with its own exterior door — ideal for drying off muddy paws before anyone comes inside.
Are dogs allowed at Vine House year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so there's nothing to suggest they aren't welcome throughout the year. The North Pennines are good walking country in every season, with miles of open heather and moorland to explore whatever the time of year.
What should I know before visiting Vine House with my dog?
The house takes a maximum of three dogs, so bear that in mind when planning your group. Practically speaking, you're well set up: there's a utility room large enough for wet dogs, boots and bikes, with its own door to the front of the house, and the enclosed garden means dogs can be let out safely. The surrounding North Pennines offer miles of open ground, old packhorse tracks and moorland — plenty to keep even the most energetic dog well exercised across a full week's stay.
