Isaac’s Byre is a dog friendly self catering cottage. We welcome two well behaved dogs here.

Dog friendly, mud room, boot room, dryer.
Boot room mud room, great for dogs to rest in  after a day out on the hills.

DOG FRIENDLY EXTRAS

Because we love dogs so much we provide a few extras free of charge:

Towels for their wet or muddy paws,
A tag for their collars with the cottage address and phone number so they don’t get lost.
Some dog snacks. There are biscuits for humans so we can’t leave out our dog guests,
A water bowl,
Throws for the sofas,
Old sheets in case it is very muddy outside,
Biodegradable poop bags,
Torches so you can see when you take your dogs out at night for their last minute walk before bed,
A bucket and brush and an outside tap to clean muddy paws,
Spare leads in case you have forgotten to pack your pup’s lead.

We have crates which you are welcome to borrow.

WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO GO WITH YOUR DOGS

Pubs and cafes that are dog friendly

Most places to eat around the area are pet friendly.

DOG FRIENDLY WALKS
We have a variety of maps with dog friendly circular walks. Many of the walks start from the door. We can give you recommendations of walks to suit your dog. We know some of your doggy friends may not be able to climb stiles. And others may not like muddy fields. And some need to be able to run off the lead rather than staying on the lead.
Ask us for our recommendations of suitable walks. You may prefer to have a walk which has a dog friendly pub en route.
 
South Tynedale Railway is very pet friendly. An idea of a level walk is to take the train (dogs are welcome on the train) to the last stop and walk back.
 
The water bowl we use in our cottage is very pet friendly. We use one for our Labrador and have another for our hens. Portabowl Twist n Flow, invented by our friend Leo. You can buy them at Mad Hatters or online.
