This one-bed property makes a great rural retreat for two humans plus two pampered pups in an imposing stone building which is part of the Howick Estate. Just right to spend quality time together as a pack and recharge your batteries. Enjoy the spacious interiors, with their airy stylish feel or sit out in the garden enjoying the tranquillity of the day or stargazing by night thanks to the dark skies – all the while hearing the sea in the background. The cottage is great for people who love the great outdoors as the Northumberland Coast Path is within 200 metres.
Once a school, this stone-built cottage provides spacious accommodation that has an elegant feel while being a cosy, pet-friendly home from home. The open-plan lounge/diner is an impressive space with its apex ceiling, characterful windows and roomy feel. There’s a sofa each and a dining table to one side. A well-equipped kitchen has all the mod cons for self-catering endeavours. Upstairs, snuggle into the super-king-size bed in the generous bedroom with quaint sloping ceilings and an extra Velux window. It has an en-suite WC, while the main bathroom, complete with a bath for holiday soaks, is downstairs. Outside, the lovely garden is enclosed so furry friends can snuffle about safely.
Discover the extensive gardens and arboretum of Howick Hall, as guests have access to the beautiful grounds. Walking and cycling routes start almost from the doorstep. Take your four-legged friends to enjoy canine capers on pretty beaches like Sugar Sands (a 2.5-mile walk) and Longhoughton Beach, 1.5 miles on foot, or 4 miles by car. Watch life pass by at the harbour of the pretty fishing village, Craster (2.5 miles). Or head inland to Alnwick (6.5 miles), a pretty market town that’s famous for its iconic castle.
