Beautifully presented cottage nestled in a quiet lane off the High Street and close to the riverbank for sunset strolls. A perfect retreat away from the usual hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Hidden along a peaceful lane in Rothbury, this stone cottage is a beautifully presented walker's paradise ideal for couples with a waggy-tailed pal in tow. Your playful pup can feel the wind in his fur with gentle riverbank strolls and ocean dips in Alnmouth, then snooze in front of the crackling wood burner while the humans enjoy a nightcap.

This romantic property is brimming with chic country character and calming blue and neutral tones. Shake off sandy shoes and towels at the door, then venture into the bright lounge and bask in the glowing fire while you watch a movie on the Smart TV with Fido curled at your feet. Potter in the compact kitchen with a handy hot tap for instant brews or open a bottle and enjoy an intimate meal for two (or three). Retreat to the tranquil sleeping areas consisting of an airy king-size room with ample storage and a peaceful double room, as well as a sleek shower room. Sip your post-walk morning coffee on the bench seat in the shared yard while the curious canine explores his stomping ground.

Step out and stroll by the independent shops and cafes in Rothbury or saunter along the riverbanks where your pup can paddle in streams and sniff out the exciting new smells, within 500 metres. For more challenging trails head to Simonside Hills, 5 miles, and amble along the circular route to the summit, the perfect open space for bounding through the heather. Don’t miss the sweeping sandy shores of Alnmouth beach, 16 miles, and tuck into a seaside supper at a pup-friendly pub.

The Snicket is perfectly placed to take advantage of all that Rothbury has to offer. The cottage is comfortable, especially the beds, and warm ad cosy with the wood stove at night. The kitchen is small but well equipped so manageable. Jane is a kind and considerate host, allowing us to check in a day late due to the Amber weather warning of floodinRead moreg in the area. Hide

A lovely cottage in the delightful town of Rothbury. The cottage provided everything we needed. It is ideally situated for exploring the area. It was very clean.
