Savour the happiness experienced by your favourite furry friend when he realises just how near to the beach he is. This five-bedroom, coastal retreat at Beadnell Bay has its own gate on to a path through the dunes and down to the sea. Sleeping 10 people, the delightful Northumberland retreat makes a superb base for a sizeable family party or a group of friends and offers plenty of space for your waggy-tailed friend to join you.
Tempt your delighted dog away from the beach, rub down his sandy feet and make your way into the open-plan kitchen/diner. Give him a good drink, make everyone else a cup of tea and then head through to the spacious lounge to let him put his paws up for a spell. There’s a wood burner in here for autumn and winter days and a TV to relax in front of during movie nights in. Also at this level are a double bedroom, a twin, a bunk bedroom and the family bathroom. Head on up to the first floor to a king-size room and another double, which has the added bonus of a balcony that looks out over the dunes. Indulge in outdoor living as often as possible as this seaside retreat. Let your paw-some pal pad about the small lawn areas while you relax with a cool drink and watch the BBQ heat up. There is parking for two cars at the house.
Wander down to picturesque Beadnell Bay to let your happy hound paddle in the sea and leave his paw prints on the sand. Just be aware of avoiding any signed nesting areas. Walk along the Northumberland Coast Path in either direction, attempting perhaps the 3-mile stretch to Seahouses. Spend a morning at the dog-friendly Annstead Dunes Nature Reserve, 1.5 miles away.
