Stick chasers, sand dune explorers and shoreline scamperers are in for a treat in this spectacular corner of the Northumberland Coast. Set within 1.5 miles of Beadnell Bay, this cosy cottage is the ideal staycation base for families and small groups. Sleeping six humans and four hounds, the property is a stylish haven with subtle dog-friendly perks such as wipe-clean floors, a pretty garden space and washing facilities suitable for hosing down messy paws.
Step inside to discover a wonderfully spacious lounge/kitchen/dining area boasting comfortable sofas, a wood burner and a table large enough for Fido to hide under in pursuit of scraps. Whip up hearty breakfasts and dinnertime feasts in the country cottage-style kitchen area, gathering the pack to swap stories and share good bottles of wine. At bedtime, climb the stairs to find three snug bedrooms and a handy bathroom, complete with a shower over the bath for long soaks. Your outside space is top dog for sunset snoozes and al fresco meals, choosing to dine on the patio, or retire to the sheltered all-weather area if the weather turns rainy. There’s ample parking for two cars, and an array of walking opportunities on your doorstep.
The Northumberland coastline is an iconic Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty thanks to its rugged shores, windswept beaches and awe-inspiring views across the North Sea. Beadnell Bay is an excellent spot for adrenaline junkies to try the many water sports on offer, but it’s just as pleasant to partake in simple strolls and picnics on the sand if you prefer. Budding historians will be awestruck at the castles waiting to be explored, whether you head to the towering Bamburgh Castle, 5 miles away, or the eerie ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, 8.5 miles away.
