Property code: OC-NB1986

Experience a getaway within the stunning Howick Hall Gardens in this beautiful semi-detached cottage perched upon working farmland. Strolls with your contented canines will not be in short supply due to its rural location, while the famous Northumberland coastline sits a mere 3 miles away.

Let yourselves into this two-storey country cottage, where you’ll be greeted with a lovingly furnished interior. Make yourself a fresh pot of tea and nibbles for your faithful friends in the country-style kitchen, complete with a table laid for four and pretty views over the enclosed rear garden. This sociable space is perfect for you and your guests to have a glass or two while chatting into the night or retire to the living room, where plump sofas invite you to relax while your pups find a place to rest their beds. Go for one last walkies before bedtime and then store sandy boots and doggie leads in the external utility. Upstairs, a king-size and a twin bedroom, both with charming views, invite you to re-energise for the next day. In the morning, make the most of the incredible grounds by taking your furry friends out for their morning stretch.

Bundle up your favourite people and wander the Howick Hall Gardens and Arboretum, an ancestral seat of Earls Grey since 1319, and incidentally, where the name of the popular tea made its name. Secluded woodlands and groomed landscapes await you and your pups. Dogs are welcomed before 10.30am or after 6pm in the arboretum, and provide wonderful walks with all the family. To feel the sand between your toes, the little gem of Howick Beach is a small but beautiful site, revealing cliffs, caves and coves and is renowned for its coasteering adventures and rock pooling.

This is a fabulous cottage situated in an ideal location for exploring Northumberland. It was clean and comfortable and provided 2 couples loads of space for our week's stay. Everything about this place is quality from the crockery, cutlery, soft furnishings and fabulous king sized bath sheets to name but a few. The cottage is within easy access toRead more Craster, Alnwick, Alnmouth, Seahouses and Bamburgh and Lindisfarne and many more places..

The property is set in a beautiful location close to the coast and surrounding countryside. It is well equipped, clean and comfortable and we were made very welcome. Little extra touches such as dog treats and a towel were really useful. We had a fantastic holiday and cant wait to come back.

lovely property in a peaceful rural location. Large garden for dogs and able to walk in the arboretum nearby. The beaches in this area are unspoilt and dog friendly. Plenty of places to visit and able to sample some lovely seafood in dog friendly pubs/cafes.

This is our second visit to this cottage which is just right for us in the right location. Anna the housekeeper prepares the property superbly and makes sure we are made welcome and leaves us feeling assured should we have any problem. That is why we are returning again in September.
