Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A Jacobean country house hotel with a spa, golf course and walled gardens in the small village of Headlam, west of Darlington. The owners keep dogs and it shows. Dogs stay free, are welcome in the Brasserie, lounge and bar, and you can eat any meal with your dog in the Library Bar. It suits a Teesdale or Durham Dales stay where the dog is treated as a guest.

Dogs can dine with you in the Brasserie, the Main Hall lounge and bar, and at breakfast, lunch or dinner in the Library Bar (tell reception). Walled gardens on a lead. Two dogs in Mews rooms, one smaller dog in Main Hall, Coach House and Spa rooms. Only leave your dog in the room if it's calm alone.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
