Property code: OC-566780

Overlooking wide-open countryside that’s just waiting to be explored by man’s best friend, this decadent period cottage provides the perfect base for a dog-friendly, adventure-filled break. The property boasts not one but two sunny outdoor spaces, each enclosed and presenting a great option for sitting out and letting Fido bask in the warmth of the sun. For colder weather stays, take a seat in the quaint conservatory and watch as life passes by with your pup gently snoozing at your heel. Laid out over three storeys, this quintessentially English accommodation choice boasts three bedrooms hosting six guests and two favoured four-pawed pals.

A truly cheerful space, this property is flooded with light and decorated in bright, neutral tones to accentuate the natural lighting. Wooden floorboards in the lounge and a tiled kitchen welcome you on the ground floor, a joy to behold for wet pups with muddy paws returning home after a long walk. Prepare to curl up on a plush sofa or armchair in the living room whilst Fido warms their fur in front of the wood burner. For drifting off into a peaceful sleep, three bedrooms, a king-size with an en-suite, a twin and a double, can be found laid out across the first and second floors, each as inviting as the last.

Set tails wagging with adventures all along the coast, discovering unforgettable scenery along Northumberland’s heritage coast path or following the easy Dunstanburgh Castle Walk (1 mile) route up to the mighty seafront fortress (2 miles). Whilst a small, sandy beach sits nearby in Craster (1 mile), larger dogs who require plenty of space for exercise will adore a trip up to Embleton Bay (3 miles) and the chance to bound after tennis balls and splash in the sea.

Comfortable bedrooms, nice decor touches and great selection of public spaces with 2 porches and attractive outside space which was important to a family of 5 with dog. General location also great, and to have dog walks from the door and pub next door were important upsides for us. Equipment in kitchen lacking / faulty e.g frying pan was out of sRead morehape and no longer flat-bottomed, with the effect it did not contact the electric plate and you felt you were cooking with a candle. Also missing were tall glasses, fish slice, proper bread knife and smaller serrated knives for cutting tomatoes etc. the toaster was also placed directly under the smoke alarm and set it off every time used so needed to move it. This didnt meet the luxury label, and along with the high price was the reason for lower scores. Hide

Beautiful property, very convenient distance from Newcastle and walking distance to Craster, Dunstanburgh, Embleton and londhoughton beaches and Howick Hall and gardens. Easy driving distance to Seahouses fir a Farne island trip, Bamburgh and Cragside. Really worth being a member if both Heritage and National Trust!
