Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in this charming single-story stone-built home in the heart of the seaside village of Alnmouth. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms and accommodating one canine companion, this is an ideal retreat for small families or groups of friends who are dreaming of exploring the beautiful Northumberland coast with their pup by their side. After a busy day exploring the local area, come home to dine alfresco in the cottage’s pretty garden.
Step into the hallway and head to the inviting open-plan lounge/diner. Slip onto a sofa and take a moment to make yourself at home before heading to the smart galley-style kitchen to whip up some dinner for your loved ones. Gather everyone for a meal at the expandable table in the dining area, or head out to the garden to the front of the cottage to dine alfresco. After dinner, pop open a bottle of something cool and crisp as you enjoy the coastal breeze, or head back to the lounge area to stretch out in front of the TV as your pup snoozes at your feet. At the end of the day, there are two lovely bedrooms waiting for you – a king-size and a twin.
Your dog will adore going for walkies on Alnmouth Beach (0.5 miles), which is dog-friendly all year round. You’ll often find the stretch of beach to the south of the estuary completely empty, and as part of the Northumberland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the scenery certainly doesn’t disappoint. Alternatively, take your pup for a stroll in the picturesque village of Craster (9 miles). Visit the harbour and stop off in a dog-friendly cafe to sample the village’s famed Craster kippers.
