Instantly inviting for every member of the family – man’s best friend included, of course – this stunning barn conversion welcomes up to eight guests and one dog to stay in superb comfort and style. You’ll feel like a top dog as you settle in and make this place your own. From the half-acre of lawned garden, fully enclosed ensuring the utmost safety for children and pets, to the four fantastic bedrooms laid out on the ground floor, this property is sure to tick a variety of boxes for any pet-loving group. Set off to explore daily walkies amongst Northumberland’s AONB coast and countryside before heading home to spend some quality time together at the end of each day.

Exceptionally spacious both indoors and out, there’ll be no getting on top of one another throughout any length of stay in this farmhouse cottage. Patio doors in the kitchen/diner allow fresh air and light to flood in, offering a relaxed space for mealtimes and direct access to the patio for alfresco dining. We’re sure you’ll always have a hungry pup close at your heel whilst you prepare dishes in the kitchen. After mealtimes, settle in to watch the Smart TV in the lounge with the wood burner warming the space around you or venture into the annexe where plenty of games will keep kids busy. With a fully enclosed garden, it is the perfect place for your pup to run around. The garden is also equipped with a hose for rinsing off muddy paws.

Situated in an off-the-beaten-track hamlet, privacy and quiet are always assured in this location. Despite this, the coastline is just 3 miles away, easy to access for dog-walking expeditions. The nearest beach, Newton Haven (3 miles), offers a pristine stretch of sand where pets can play freely, so pack up a picnic to spend a day right here. Further afield, head to Dunstanburgh Castle (5 miles) and Alnwick Castle (10 miles) to explore the area’s fascinating history whilst Fido plays freely on the grass all around.

We absolutely loved staying at The Croft. Perfect location to explore Northumberland. Great to have such a comfortable home to return to after our days out. Our children loved the huge garden and the additional, thoughtful touches for children were truly welcomed! Definitely one to return to. Happy memories made.

A rural retreat in a quiet location with views to Bamburgh Castle in the north and to Beadnell Bay in the east. We saw some the local wildlife from the kitchen window, including a barn owl, a weasel, hares and deer.
