Property code: OC-T29071

This charming property, located less than 50 metres from a dog-friendly pub, is the perfect romantic bolthole for two. Sleeping two guests in a gorgeous four-poster bed and with two dogs welcome, it won''t be long before you''re all off out, sniffing out the best spots in Alnwick for drinking, dining and exploring.

The property, which sits up one flight of stairs on the first floor, is delightfully quirky with pretty furnishings everywhere. The open-plan living area welcomes you with warm tones paired with neutrals, creating a relaxing space to cook, dine and unwind in. Puppy dog eyes will beg for scraps as you cook in the kitchen area and eat at the compact table, then your canine companions will keep your feet warm as you watch TV on the sofa. When it''s time for bed, head to the potions room-themed bedroom where a king-size four-poster bed awaits; drift off to sleep among the twinkling lights and fun knick-knacks that may remind you of a certain film! In the morning, take a refreshing rinse in the shower room that continues the magical theme. Outside and through a locked gate, a private hot tub is ideal for soaking aching muscles after long walks with the pups. There''s also a shared garden where you can dine alfresco in the summer months.

Take a splash in the waves at Embleton Bay (9 miles), or go for walkies up to the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle (8 miles) or Edlingham Castle (6 miles) where dogs are welcome to join you. The National Trust''s Cragside has a fun labyrinth and 14 walking routes to try, while Warkworth (7.5 miles) offers plenty of dog-friendly pubs to enjoy a drink in after a game of fetch on the beach.

Had the most fantastic time staying at the Apothecary. Location was perfect and our apartment was very cosy and fascinating. The owners had really made an effort and put a lot of thought into letting out their property. There's so much to see and do that we need to go back! We only got to sample a few of the pubs, we strongly recommend a visit

Excellent location, 5 minutes walk from the bus station and less to the castle. I had everything I needed and was very comfortable. The host was very responsive when I needed to contact him, which was greatly appreciated. Some really nice little touches, including knowing that the bedroom curtains had been made by the host's mum!

Very quirky and comfortable place, very central to so many places to visit and the hot tub was brilliant.

Great location, quirky interior but it should only be used as a base, don't plan to spend a lot of time in the room as it is not particularly comfortable.
