  • "An absolutely fabulous lodge."

    I would recommend a new blind in the master bathroom as it has damp marks on it. There should also be extra towels not just one each, as we like to use a towel once then wash it. There should be a full length mirror in the master bedroom. A few decent hair dryers would also be good. The hot tub had not been cleaned after the last guests as it was very frothy when on. Otherwise we all had a wonderful time and relaxing weekend.

The property

Walworth Castle Lodge is a single-storey cottage that was once the charming gatehouse to the imposing Walworth Castle, near the thriving market town of Darlington, in County Durham.

Set within beautiful 18-acre grounds of fabulous lawns and woodlands, this stone-built cottage still retains plenty of its charm with a castellated stone structure.

Perfect for families, friends and couples alike, this heart-warming accommodation has been thoughtfully decorated to reveal a high-quality finish throughout.

The entrance is through a gate at the front and down a pathway taking you to a small porch, where immediately inside you will come to a cloakroom.

Next, the kitchen presents itself with sleek granite worktops, modern, integrated fixtures and contemporary colourways.

The living room comprises a lovely set of patchwork sofas, a toasty gas fire on the wall, and adjoins the TV room, which boasts French doors leading to the outdoor space.

Take some time to gather your thoughts in the conservatory with a good book, or get together with the family in the dining room for a sociable gathering over dinner.

Indulge in the luxurious hot tub after a tiresome day walking the fabulous Dales, positioned on the patio, it rests in a private spot next to the garden furniture.

Walworth Castle is a stunning Grade I listed, 12th century castle, playing host to a fabulous three-star hotel, benefitting a lovely bar and restaurant, serving delicious drinks and afternoon tea, as well as a scrumptious dinner menu.

Walworth Castle Lodge is located within walking distance to Walworth Castle Birds of Prey centre which is the number one tourist attraction in County Durham.

Nearby, Darlington offers an abundance of well-appointed amenities and is well-known for its railway connections.

The wonderful city of Durham is situated to the north, with its majestic cathedral and castle waiting to be explored.

The surrounding region offers beautiful countryside rich with classic Dales landscape of dry stone walls, rivers and valleys.

This charm-filled cottage is ideal for those seeking adventure among the Northern Dales.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
