Walworth Castle Holiday Cottage, Yorkshire

Walworth Castle Holiday Cottage is a detached single-storey retreat sitting on the grounds of a 12th-century Grade I listed castle in County Durham. This cosy cottage sleeps 4 guests across 2 bedrooms and sits within 18 acres of stunning lawns and woodlands. Just three miles from the A1, it's perfectly positioned for exploring the Northern Dales without the faff of being miles from anywhere.

The cottage enjoys a prime spot in the small village of Walworth, surrounded by classic Dales landscapes with dry-stone walls and rolling valleys. Want to stretch your legs? Wander the hotel grounds or venture to nearby Middleton-in-Teesdale with its spectacular waterfalls. After a day of exploring, your private hot tub awaits - nothing beats bubbling away with a glass of something while debating whether you've got the energy for round two (of exploring, obviously).

The accommodation features an open-plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, dining space and comfortable sitting area. There's a double bedroom, a twin bedroom and a family bathroom with bath and shower. The enclosed patio is perfect for dog owners - two well-behaved pooches are welcome to join your holiday adventures.

Visit magnificent Durham Cathedral (25 miles, 35 minutes), explore Richmond's historic streets (15 miles, 25 minutes), discover Barnard Castle (16 miles, 30 minutes), or enjoy shopping in Darlington (7 miles, 15 minutes). The cottage's location makes these attractions easily accessible.

Walworth Castle Holiday Cottage offers the perfect blend of countryside peace with nearby attractions. Fancy dinner without cooking? Simply stroll to the castle hotel for afternoon tea or a meal at Hansard's Restaurant.
