Perfect for groups of up to eight people looking for a self-catering holiday in the North Pennines, Black Dog House was once two 19th-century, terraced stone cottages. These have now been joined together to create a fully refurbished, three-storey holiday home with three double bedrooms and a twin room, as well as several sofa beds. Make the sleeping arrangements work for you: who will get the ensuite double and who will be sharing the large attic room ideal for holiday-time sleepovers?
Black Dog House is a self-catering holiday cottage in the heart of the North Pennines that provides flexible accommodation complete with home comforts for up to eight guests. Whether you are on a weekend getaway, a family holiday or a break with friends, you can unwind, relax and enjoy yourselves at our pet-friendly holiday cottage. Both Black Dog House and the surrounding countryside have something to offer all ages and interests, and there are plenty of tourist attractions within easy access.
At Black Dog House, there is plenty of space for everyone to do their own thing inside: you can cosy up in front of the open fire in the lounge or by the wood burner in the dining room, the kitchen is fully equipped for a self-catering holiday, and there is a small office area where you can edit your photos of the stunning natural beauty of the North Pennines or the interesting historic sites in County Durham. Pull out the games provided, have breakfast outdoors, try your hand at playing a musical instrument, fire up the BBQ in the back garden or settle down in front of a film - at Black Dog House, you can be sure that there will be something to do, whatever the weather or your entertainment of choice.
