Get the whole gang together at this sweet cottage in a pretty complex of properties in the heart of the village of Longhoughton. Sleeping five people across three bedrooms and welcoming two canine companions, it's an excellent option for families or groups of friends looking for a real home-from-home to enjoy while they're discovering the captivating Northumberland coastline together. During the day, take your pups for walkies along the shore at Sugar Sands - one of the best beaches in Northumberland. In the evening, come home to your cosy cottage to play board games in front of the glowing wood burner while your pups snooze contentedly by your feet.

Step inside this idyllic retreat and you'll be greeted by a quaint and cosy lounge with traditional wood flooring and a beautiful stone accent wall. Take a moment to admire the lovely garden views before you head to the farmhouse-style kitchen/dining area to whip up some dinner for your loved ones. Gather everyone to eat at the corner nook dining table, or head out onto the deck and dine alfresco. After dinner, head back to the lounge to unwind with a good book in front of the wood burner while your pups sleep at your feet. At the end of the day, make your way to the ground-floor bedroom and you'll find a lovely space with twin zip-and-link beds (which can be made into a super-king-size on request) and a stylish feature fireplace. Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms - a gorgeous king-size and a cute single. Completing the layout, there's a contemporary family shower room.

Your pups are sure to love going to walkies at the magnificent Beadnell Bay (12 miles), and afterwards, you'll find several dog-friendly pubs in the village. Alternatively, head off on a hike at the iconic Bamburgh Castle (15 miles), which is perched atop a rocky outcrop overlooking the coast. Your pups are welcome to explore the extensive castle grounds.

Excellent property, probably the best self catering cottage we have stayed in.and weve stayed in a lot! Everything was there that you needed and more. Great touches for the dog too, who loved curling up by the fire. Visited the excellent running fox cafe, which was 50 steps away! Highly recommend Archers
