An inviting countryside cottage brimming with rustic farmhouse charm and perfectly positioned for exploring the Northumbrian National Park. This rural hideaway is the perfect base for adventurous families or couples with four-legged pals. Water-loving canines will be in their element splashing through the water at Alnmouth Beach, before returning to an al fresco pack feast on the private lawn. This beautifully presented property is brimming with chic, countryside style, clean lines, and a contemporary interior. Towel off sandy pups and store muddy boots in the spacious hallway before padding through to the airy living space. Potter in the shaker kitchen where the resident chef can get to work preparing a well-earned supper for the hungry pack while the helpful hounds hoover up any scraps on the floor. Dine around the wooden table overlooking the garden or throw open the patio doors and let the balmy breeze drift inside. Retreat to the lounge area where you can sink into the plush leather sofas with a tipple, kick up weary feet, and pop on a movie with Fido curled at your feet. Scope out a cosy corner for your tired-out dogs, then rest up in the two bright king-sized bedrooms. Enjoy a dewy morning coffee in the enclosed garden, perfect for nosy dogs to explore. Clip on the harnesses and gear up for a scenic scamper to the summit of Simonside Hills for a windswept picnic and outstanding views across the moors, 10 miles. Refuel with a light lunch at the iconic second-hand book shop in Alnwick where dozing dogs can curl up by the fire, then make a beeline for Alnwick Beach and enjoy a day out, 9 miles.

The property is amazing definitely a four star accommodation. You have everything you need it was great also having an enclosed garden for the dogs and with tile and wood flooring we didn't worry about carpets getting dirty as we stayed during storm babet they were getting very wet . We enjoyed it so much we will be rebooking for next year

A good base to tour the area from. A good sized, enclosed garden for dogs or children to run about in. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you need for your holiday.

We had two weeks in this cottage. The beds and sofas were very comfy, cosy and a good size. It is equipped well and we had all we needed. We love the area, looked forward to relaxing, sitting out in the garden, but cottage is right next to the very busy A697, with heavy fast traffic and sadly this did not work for us. It was just too busy in the daRead moreytime but quieter at night. Dog walks from cottage difficult, so used a dog walking field close by at times. A good base tho to tour Northumberland. Hide

Good property but no walks from it so dogs into car and off you go. But great central location. Very clean and comfortable. Be aware this property is on a very busy main road.

This comfortable cottage is in a perfect location to explore the Alnwick area. We loved being so close to Cragside and within easy reach of Alnwick and the coast. Once Thrunton Woods reopens after safety work (following Storm Arwen) it will be ideal for local dog walking too.

Cottages very well equipped and had all we needed, including iron, hairdryer etc. we stayed in March and heating was inadequate. Also there is a water heater you need to turn on for hot water. Not sure I would stay again in colder months but in warmer weather definitely.
