The spacious holiday home is set in the coastal hamlet of Tughall Steads, on the Northumberland coast. Sleeping six guests and one pup, the property suits large families and groups of friends. With a sociable, open-plan layout, and attractive garden for entertaining, it’s the ideal place for spending quality time together. You’ll be near some fantastic paw-friendly beaches, including Beadnell Bay (4.5 miles), and the popular coastal village of Seahouses is 5 miles away.

The stylish barn conversion is decorated in tones to reflect the surrounding landscape and original features and vibrant soft furnishings add character to each room. The light-filled lounge is a sociable space, where you can recline on the colourful sofas and warm your toes and paws by the wood burner. The sleek kitchen/diner has everything you need to cater for the group, and has a large, wooden table to seat everyone. An inviting double bedroom and a bathroom with an elegant free-standing bath complete the ground floor. The king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room is upstairs, along with a quirky mezzanine twin room with low ceilings, a glass front, and theatre-style curtains. Four-legged guests will love the outdoor space, which is fully enclosed and has plenty of sunny spots for dozing. There’s also gorgeous, soft outdoor seating and an array of pretty flowers.

Heading south, you’ll soon reach the quaint National Trust village of Low Newton-by-the-Sea (2.5 miles). Potter amongst its cream-washed cottages, refuel in the traditional village pub, and enjoy gentle strolls along the paw-friendly, sandy beach. There’s also a popular circular walk from here to Craster, via Dunstanburgh Castle. Another excellent woof-friendly beach can be found at Beadnell Bay (4.5 miles), where you and your salty seadog can also take wildlife-watching boat trips from the harbour.

Samphire Barn was a genuinely great find, having holidayed in this area on many occasions' we have passed the turn off to the steadings many times and we are so pleased we decided to make the booking. It is well located for visiting the many beautiful beaches in the area. The accommodation is spacious and well equipped and more than comfortableRead more, we were particularly impressed with the quality and quantity of crockery and utensils. The log burner was easy to operate and made for a comfortable environment. There were great dog walks from the cottage through nearby fields. We were very impressed by the welcome hamper and the dog related items especially the notice relating to dog visitors. Thanks to the cottage owner Simon for contacting us in advance to warn us about roadworks impacting on accessing the accommodation which was more than helpful. We would have no hesitation in booking this property again. Hide

Samphire Barn is beautifully furnished to a super high standard. It was extremely comfortable for 6 of us - 4 adults and 2 kids - plus a dog. The arrival gift pack, including one for the dog, was a lovely touch. The location is great - easy to get to the fantastic beaches at Beadnell, Newton and Embleton as well as further afield but we were just tRead morehere for the four nights this time. Would definitely recommend! Hide

A great well equipped cottage in a location close to the beaches and places to visit. A car is essential to get about. Lovely couple of pubs in nearby Newton on Sea and Beadnell beach is a must.
