Dog friendly cottage, sleeps 6 - Slaley, Northumberland

The Derwent Spa (Pet) is a lovely, two-storey lodge on Hexham Lodges Holiday Park near Slaley, Northumberland, offering designated parking close by, a balcony with furniture, and a private hot tub in the garden. Arrive and slip straight into holiday mode, stepping into an open-plan living space designed for easy time together; start the day with a lazy breakfast at the dining table, then plan adventures while the kettle boils and the kitchen takes care of self-catering with a fridge/freezer, microwave, and all the essentials for home-style meals. When the weather nudges you outdoors, the balcony is ideal for a morning cuppa or an evening drink, while the hot tub sets the scene for a long soak after a day on the park.

Upstairs, three bedrooms create flexible sleeping for families and friends. There’s a king-size bedroom with TV and an en-suite walk-in shower room, a twin bedroom with TV and its own en-suite, plus a further twin with TV, all served by a family bathroom with a bath and a separate walk-in shower, handy for busy mornings when everyone’s keen to get going. Back downstairs, settle in with the Smart TV and WiFi for a film night, or simply gather for cards and conversation as plans form for tomorrow.

On-site, guests can lean into the action with paintballing, archery, quad biking, axe throwing, segway safari, and clay pigeon shooting, with hiking and cycling routes also close by for slower-paced days. Venture out to Hexham for a change of scene and an afternoon of browsing and refreshments, take a trip to Corbridge for a stroll and a bite to eat, or head into Newcastle for a lively day out with riverside wanderings and city attractions. However you choose to spend your break, The Derwent Spa (Pet) makes a handy base for time away together, paws included.
