Historic character meets beautiful modern styling in this gorgeous couple’s escape, located close to Northumberland’s Heritage Coast. Supremely comfortable, with a super-king-size bed and a whirlpool bath, it also boasts a pretty courtyard where your pup can chase his tail while you enjoy a drink or meal in the fresh air.
There’s a wonderful feeling of light and space in this cottage’s beautiful lounge/diner. With wooden floors, co-ordinated furnishings and a timber-clad chimney, it’s just the spot for a cosy evening snuggled in front of the wood-burner-effect electric fire, watching a movie on the Smart TV while your hound snoozes nearby. On a summer’s day you can open the glazed door to the courtyard and let fresh air flood in. The galley kitchen is equipped with everything you’ll need to create romantic meals for two, and there are laundry facilities in a utility cupboard. The delightful bedroom features soft colours and a super-king-size bed that can be made up as a twin on request. The icing on the cake is glamorous bathroom, which has a whirlpool bath and a pair of hand basins so no one need wait to brush their teeth. To stretch your legs simply step out into the charming enclosed courtyard, where there’s a covered seating area, a dining set for two, outdoor lighting and potted plants.
The cottage is situated in the village of Lowick, just 200m from a shop and a pub which allows dogs in the bar. Visit the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, 5 miles (checking tide times carefully before crossing the causeway), where canines are welcome inside the priory. From the charming village of Etal, 7 miles, you can hop on a steam train and puff along to Heatherslaw (your furry friend travels free!), enjoying gorgeous views along the way.
