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 hotels 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.
