Enjoy a cosy cottage feel at this quaint two-bed property sleeping three people – not forgetting the all-important two canine guests. Situated on the outskirts of the quiet village of Whittingham, it’s an ideal base for friends or a small family to explore the coast, towns and countryside of Northumberland. Feel yourself truly relax into your home-from-home experience, admiring the tasteful decor and period features of this well-appointed cottage, like the glorious stone inglenook, exposed beams and floorboards. If the weather plays ball, bask in the sun in the pretty courtyard garden with your best furry chums.
The lovely open-plan lounge/diner welcomes you in with rustic touches like the wood burner in the inglenook, wooden floors and lower beamed ceiling. But there are plenty of modern comforts too with lovely soft seating, smart TV and a dining table for two. It’s spacious and homely at the same time. The compact country-style kitchen has all you’ll need for self-catering. Upstairs, there’s an elegant double bedroom with charming sloping ceilings. The second bedroom is a single, with a quirky day bed and a fun feel, ideal for a child. The private courtyard is accessed via the kitchen and is a lovely suntrap that’s fully enclosed, and safe for pups to roam.
Grab the leads and head off for walkies which abound in all directions from this cottage and village. The River Aln is within 100 metres and Northumberland National Park starts within 5 miles. Stock up on supplies in the cobbled market town of Alnwick (9 miles) with its iconic castle. Or check out the Northumberland coast at Longhoughton Beach (14 miles) or Alnmouth Beach (13.5 miles). The National Trust’s Cragside (9 miles) is a fascinating Arts and Crafts mansion where dogs are welcome in all the outside spaces.
