Situated in the historic coaching town of Belford, this elegant three-bedroom property is ideal for families and their four-legged friends seeking a comfortable base in the Northumbrian countryside. Stroll into the town to browse the independent stores, pick up some local produce in the farm shop and sip locally produced ales in the dog-friendly pubs. Hike up to St Cuthbert’s Cave for spectacular views across to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne or take the lead along part of St Oswald’s Way for long traffic-free walks.
Tails will wag at the period charm of your holiday home’s interior including original sash windows and exposed beams. From the ground-floor entrance, steps lead up to the first-floor accommodation overlooking the market square below. Cook up a storm in the spacious kitchen/diner where you can share meals around the contemporary dining table. Watch the world go by from one of the living room window seats or curl up on the sofa with your hound at your feet. Your bathroom is also on this level. Take the stairs to the second floor where you will find three delightful bedrooms all dressed in crisp linens. Outside is an enclosed garden for your pup to explore while you enjoy a leisurely lunch at the garden table.
Sniff out your favourite beach for long seashore rambles and doggy paddles with Bamburgh (5.5 miles), Seahouses (9 miles) and Beadnell (13.5 miles) all within easy reach. The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is well worth a visit and you can explore the unspoilt landscape with your canine companion at your side. Put your best paw forward on a hike to see the stunning cascade of Linhope Spout (21 miles) through Bulby’s Wood to reach the 60-foot-high waterfall.
