Property code: OC-587684

Occupying an idyllic seaside location around a mile from Bamburgh Castle, this renovated Armstrong Cottage offers a dreamy coastal escape. With ample accommodation for up to four guests and welcoming one happy hound, this chic accommodation is sure to set tails wagging. While away days racing through sand dunes and exploring dog-friendly attractions, before returning for cosy evenings by the wood burner or long summer nights beneath the stars in your private garden.

Set within a small cluster of similar properties built by Lord Armstrong for workers renovating the castle, this superb cottage exudes coastal chic. Rich colours, designer furnishings, and quality materials such as copper and marble give this beachside bolthole a truly sumptuous feel. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner forms the heart of this stylish abode. Sink into plush sofas post walkies, toes and paws warming in front of a roaring wood burner on chilly days. Rustle up tasty treats for all in the handsome kitchen, then take your pick of dining location with indoor and outdoor tables at your disposal. Two restful and elegant bedrooms, one king-size and one twin zip-and-link, offer flexible accommodation depending on your pack, while two en-suite shower rooms offer convenience and privacy.

History-loving hounds (and their owners) will adore Bamburgh Castle, where dogs are welcomed throughout the extensive grounds (though not in the castle interiors). And your playful pup is sure to adore the miles of dog-friendly golden sands at its base. Renowned for its fascinating history, the Holy Island of Lindisfarne welcomes curious canines on a lead in the ancient priory, with some great spots for walkies on the island. Alternatively, explore the captivating village of Seahouses (3 miles) or hop on a boat for a wildlife-watching excursion to the Farne Islands (note that dogs can’t visit the islands, but instead stay on the boat with the dog-loving crew).

Disappointed there was no welcome pack (Bread, milk etc) as there had been in previous years. This is a really nice extra touch. Extractor fan in bathroom not working. Coffee machine very temperamental. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay. The above are not complaints just feedback.
