This beautiful cottage, situated in the quaint village of Otterburn, is perfect for a couples’ getaway - with the pups in tow, of course! Sleeping four across two cosy bedrooms and with plenty of space for up to two dogs to snooze, you could all soon be enjoying the wonderful walking trails that are on your doorstep, including Pennine Way (8.5 miles). Period features like ornamental fireplaces and well-preserved vintage furniture make this an ideal countryside retreat to relax in with friends, both two and four-legged. Plus, there’s a summer house in the garden for unwinding in during sunny evenings.
The property, which is less than 100 metres from a handy village shop, is cosy and welcoming with plenty of rural character. The country-style kitchen has everything you need to cook up a storm, while the bright and airy lounge becomes a haven in the evenings; the canines will love snuggling up to the open fire as you sink into the comfy sofas. The bedrooms, which are accessed via some steep steps, promise a peaceful night’s sleep among soft decor; nab the master bedroom for superb views over the hills and moorland beyond. Head down to the garden in the morning with your coffee for an al fresco breakfast.
Explore the village and get your bearings before heading out. Otterburn boasts dog-friendly pubs and restaurants, so there’s no need to cook, and historic Otterburn Mill is worth a wander around. The edge of Northumberland National Park is just 1.5 miles away, or if you fancy a walk around stunning grounds, try the National Trust’s Wallington (12.5 miles), where hounds can earn a place on their website! Stroll around the market towns of Corbridge (21 miles) or Hexham (25 miles) for a quiet, easy kind of day with the pups.
