Enjoy a new leash of life with a stay by Craster’s beautiful harbour, where dog-friendly beaches, remarkable sea views and the sound of crashing waves can be enjoyed from your doorstep. Your entire pack will feel instantly at home in this Northumberland stay, unwinding in the cosy lounge or getting a good night’s sleep in comfy beds. The property comfortably sleeps four guests and two dogs – perfect for a family retreat.

 

This traditional cottage boasts a nautical theme throughout, a constant reminder of your seafront location. Head in via the backdoor and enter the handy utility room, abandoning muddy boots and drying soggy pups. Fido and Rover will no doubt make a beeline for the cosy lounge, the perfect spot for mid-afternoon naps. The kitchen is well-equipped to feed your entire muttley crew and dining together can be enjoyed in this open-plan space. When it’s time for bed, let sleeping dogs lie in the lounge and find two bedrooms up the open tread staircase. The master bedroom is a double with far-reaching views out to sea. Morning coffee can be taken in the shared rear lawn, letting your energised dogs enjoy a dose of fresh morning air.

 

Wander mere metres down to the harbour and enjoy the salty sea breeze, a great spot for a dog walk. Situated in the heart of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you’re certain to find a whole host of walking routes along the seafront. Take the lead and enjoy a relaxing stroll up to Dustanburgh Castle (1 mile), taking in beautiful seafront ruins on arrival. Pack your tennis balls and head to Embleton Bay (3.5 miles), a wide expanse of sandy shore where dogs are welcome to stretch their legs and children can play in the water.

What a fabulous cottage. Very clean and comfortable, always warm and also well equipped. The view of the harbour at all times of day is so beautiful regardless of the weather.

There are no local shops, so be prepared and bring extra toilet rolls We feel aggrieved that we were not told in advance that the cottage next door was being renovated.
