About this property

A detached, single-storey cottage set in the grounds of Walworth Castle, in the small scattered village of Walworth, County Durham. Set in 18 acres of lawns and woodlands, this delightful cottage is an ideal base for touring the area, and is just three miles from the A1. The cottage has been tastefully furnished with an open plan living area, two comfortable bedrooms, a family bathroom and a lovely enclosed patio area to the rear, where you can relax in the hot tub after a day out and about in the Northern Dales. You can also enjoy the surrounding grounds which are shared with the hotel’s guests. Walworth Castle is a magnificent Grade I listed, 12th century castle, which operates as a wonderful three star hotel, and from your cottage you can stroll across to the hotel to treat yourself to a glorious afternoon tea, a bar meal in Farmers' Bar, or really push the boat out and sample an exquisite dinner in Hansard's Restaurant and Library Tower. A short drive will take you to Darlington with a selection of restaurants, pubs and shops, as befits a large thriving town. A little further afield, explore the splendid countryside around Richmond and Barnard Castle, enjoying the classic Dales landscape of dry stone walls, rivers and valleys. This is perfect walking country for those wanting to explore the upper valleys of Middleton-in-Teesdale, incorporating the well-known Cauldron Snout and the High and Low Force waterfalls. Head north and visit the magnificent Durham Cathedral, perched high above the meandering River Wear. This delightful cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the Northern Dales.

Walworth is a small scattered village in the borough of Darlington, County Durham. The nucleus of the village is the 16th century Walworth Castle and Park, and the surrounding area is known locally as 'The gateway to the Dales'. There's also a number of visitor attractions and stunning scenery within reach.

    The cottage is well equipped and immaculate and in a gorgeous location. Rooms are spacious and fairly modern but a couple of things let it down. As mentioned on a previous review, the outside lighting to the hot tub needs seriously looking in to before there is an accident. There is an outside light at the opposite end of the yard but this isn't bright enough to light the hot tub area at all. The double bed in the main bedroom is very uncomfortable and you can really feel every spring in the mattress. If these couple of gripes were looked into, I would definitely return again.

    A lovely break at this time of year. We look forward to the peaceful relaxing surroundings. Some problems with the boiler and plumbing was sorted quickly by the castle as always the cottage was clean everything we expect. Can’t wait for stay next year.

    We had the most wonderful food during our stay. We would love to come and stay in the Hotel when we don’t have our dogs something to look forward to. Thanks again for a lovely stay Chris and Diane Charlie and Chilli
