Full Property Description:
When holidaying at The Chase, you can look forward to curling up in the large, yet cosy living room and dining area. The huge corner sofa makes it a perfect area to relax and unwind with family and friends, playing board games or catching up with a Netflix binge—while your furry best friend snoozes happily alongside you. The large modern kitchen allows you to cook up a storm, with a glass dining table for meals enjoyed with garden views through the patio doors. A stunning solid wood breakfast bar, seating four, also opens onto the garden through double patio doors.
The beautiful, tiered garden is perfect for unwinding on a sunny day or stargazing on a clear night. Fully enclosed, it provides a secure and private space for dogs of all temperaments, including reactive or exempt dogs. Just outside the patio doors, you’ll find an outdoor kitchen area with a BBQ, dining table, benches, a beautifully lit arbour, and two modern rattan rocking chairs—ideal for outdoor dining or relaxing with family and friends. The grassy tiers are perfect for zoomies or lounging in the sun, and the top tier boasts a lounge and bar area adorned with solar lights and an outdoor plug for added convenience.
On the middle floor, there are three bedrooms and a master bathroom. The teal bedroom features a king-size bed, a single bed with an optional pull-out, and a large flat-screen TV. The white bedroom includes a double bed, dressing table/office space, and a Firestick-enabled TV. The navy bedroom offers an ornate double bed and flat-screen TV. All bedrooms have blackout blinds for a great night’s sleep. The master bathroom includes a large bath and a walk-in waterfall shower. The top floor boasts the master bedroom with a king-size bed, LED-lit headboard, smart TV, and windows showcasing views of the Derwentside Valley and the garden. The ensuite features a bath, walk-in waterfall shower, and illuminated mirror.
Whether you're holidaying with a playful puppy or a reactive dog that thrives in calm, private spaces, The Chase is thoughtfully designed to ensure every guest—human and canine—feels relaxed, safe, and at home.

Meet The Owners
Kim & Chris Ewen
We are SO excited to welcome you to our home! As the founders of XL Escapes, we pour our hearts into creating a space where you can relax, unwind, and make lasting memories.
With two rescue dogs—Holly from Bosnia and Buddy from All Bullie Rescue—and Nala, our beautiful ginger cat (and undisputed Queen of the house), we understand how important it is to feel not just at home, but truly content and relaxed—especially when traveling with your furry companions.
Our goal is to offer more than just a holiday; we want to provide a home away from home where you can escape daily pressures, have a laugh, and enjoy quality time with loved ones. Whether it’s a cosy night in, exploring the local area, or simply making time for yourself, we’re here to make your stay special.
If you have any requests—big or small—just let us know. We’re always happy to help (and we love an excuse to bring a smile to your face, drink in hand, of course!).

XL Escapes Peace Of Mind Promise
Every business you see on XL Escapes has confirmed to us that they welcome XL Bullies.
Before being listed, we ask the questions we’d want answered ourselves — from real experience living and travelling with XL and reactive dogs. That includes confirming they are happy to host XL Bullies, that their listing details are accurate, and that they’ve considered their own legal and insurance responsibilities.
We don’t assume. We don’t guess. We ask — and they confirm.
If anything changes or a business doesn’t stand by what they’ve told us, we take it seriously.
If a business listed on XL Escapes turns you away because of your dogs breed, contact us. We will review it, remove them if necessary, and refund your membership.
