Hexham offers a choice between a town inn and a rural resort, with Tyne Green for a shorter outing and Dukesfield for a more substantial woodland walk. The County is on Priestpopple; Slaley Hall is at Slaley outside town. Decide how much driving and walking you want before choosing, and treat the abbey photograph as a town landmark rather than a promise of dog access inside.
Policies researched 27 September 2026 · Check directly before booking
A dog-friendly hotel may only allow dogs in certain rooms. Arrange the right room directly before you pay.
The County welcomes dogs in some of its seven rooms and asks for a direct availability check, with charges and dining to confirm. Slaley Hall permits up to two dogs for £25 each per stay, requires telephone booking and prohibits leaving dogs alone. Its bar dining can help, but a spa or golf booking would need a separate supervision plan.

Choose a modest walk through the riverside country park using the council’s visitor information. Keep to public paths rather than golf or boating areas.
Keep dogs close by the fast, deep river and stay off the weir. Respect wildlife, sports users, play-area exclusions and current signs.
The destination tourism body describes a 3.7-mile moderate circular woodland walk from Dukesfield Mill, a separate journey from Hexham. Choose it only if the terrain and distance suit.
Use public paths, keep your dog controlled around livestock and water, and respect ruins and uneven ground. Do not assume a moderate woodland route is a level park circuit.
Arrive at the arranged dog room and use Tyne Green for a short outing if time allows. Keep away from the river edge and boating activity. Return for dinner in the agreed dog-permitted area; Slaley guests need to account for the rural journey.
Day two · choose the longer walk deliberately
Travel to Dukesfield if your dog and the conditions suit a moderate woodland circuit. Otherwise take another short Tyne Green outing and enjoy a quieter departure. Do not add resort activities that would require leaving your dog alone.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.
THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Good to know before you go
Book Slaley’s dog room by phone
The Contact Centre requirement applies even if ordinary rooms appear online.
Separate resort facilities from dog access
A hotel’s spa and golf facilities are not a promise that your dog can join you or stay unattended.
Your Hexham questions
Can Slaley Hall dog rooms be booked online?
Its policy says bookings with dogs must go through the Contact Centre.
Is Dukesfield the same as a short town-park walk?
No. The tourism body describes a separate 3.7-mile moderate woodland circuit; choose Tyne Green for a shorter outing.
