Walworth Castle Holiday Cottage is a detached, single-storey cottage set on the grounds of Walworth Castle in the small, scattered village of Walworth, County Durham. Resting within 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 which creates a seamless flow between the main living areas. The kitchen is well-equipped for culinary creations, the dining area invites you to gather round to enjoy those meals and the sitting area is the spot for relaxation and downtime. Further along, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms, a family bathroom and a lovely, enclosed patio area to the rear, where you can relax in the hot tub with an indulgent soak after a day out 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 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 the 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, within the ceremonial county of 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'. An easy drive from Walworth will take you to nearby Teesdale, which has a host of excellent visitor attractions and stunning scenery on its doorstep. The Dale is home to the stunning waterfall of High Force and great walking along The Teesdale Way. Barnard Castle and Bowes offer historic castles and stately homes, with Eggleston Hall and Gardens - a Georgian country house, Rokeby Hall and Park and Raby Castle being just three such examples. A short drive north will take you to the city of Durham, which oozes charm and offers lots to see and do. From its splendid Romanesque cathedral and castle, which is a World Heritage Site, to its tiny, cobbled streets crammed with delightful galleries, boutiques and eateries, there's not much this city doesn't have. Enjoy a boat trip along the river, explore the romantic gardens of Crook Hall, or visit the renowned Durham University. Walworth is an excellent base for exploring the area.
