Depends what you put in the dining space, but having to navigate through it when you want to put the kettle on after returning from a cold & wet winter outing could be a ballache. Immediate access to the kitchen from the hall is valuable, I think.
Guess you can side-step that problem if you have side access?

Option 2 is probably my preferred option at the moment - I think option 1 is just too open between the hallway and the kitchen. I think pocket doors between dining room and hallway and kitchen would be a good, clean option to make sure we can have guests over without it being too noisy upstairs for the kids sleeping
