Scotchcoulthard Farm - Dog Friendly Accommodation
in Haltwhistle, Northumberland
Scotchcoulthard Farm Self Catering Cottages is dog friendly and situated four miles north of Hadrian's Wall in The Northumberland National Park at its most spectacular part. It is halfway between Carlisle and Hexham on the edge of Wark Forest which leads into Kielder Forest.
Set on a small farm within 180 acres it is surrounded by splendid scenery with magnificent views and not another inhabited dwelling in sight. Scotchcoulthard is four miles away from The Military Road (B6318 which runs parallel to Hadrian's Wall). The last farm you pass is two miles away. If you want to really 'get away from it all' it is ideal. For those who prefer a more populated area it is not ideal! The farm track from the road is ½ mile long and can be a bit rough at times. However if taken slowly it is fine.
Dogs are welcome
Our own dogs will welcome you and there is no extra charge and no restriction on number.

The Area
As we are situated within our own land it is ideal for children to bring a tent and camp out. The older they are the further from the cottages they can venture. Please ask if you would like this opportunity.
There are a few woods on our land with fallen trees that are great for climbing on. There are two streams running across the land which are great for children to play in or for adults to take a walk in!
The cottages are situated in about 1 acre of land which includes all the bulidings and our farm house. Unfortunately, this area is not completely fenced and we have the occasional sheep wandering in. There should always be somewhere you can let your dogs have a good run but they do need to be under control or on the lead. Once out the top of our drive there are miles of forest to walk in.

Reviews
“What a wonderful place. We have never felt so welcome with all of our dogs. Wild and wonderful walks aplenty accompanied by the gorgeous doggies that live on the farm. A swimming pool, games room and jaw dropping views. Cottage brilliantly appointed with everything you could possibly need and very cosy. Great value too. Can't wait to go back. ”

“Had another fabulous holiday here at the cottages. April 2014 This is our third visit and again was so relaxing. Just what we all needed. Andy and Susan again coming to the rescue if we needed anything at all. Cannot say enough about how lovely it is here and our dogs just love it. I also love the freedom my 7 year old daughter has to be able to run about in such a safe and friendly environment. We will see you in the summer.”
