Countryside, coast, and castles lie waiting to be sniffed out in magnificent Northumberland – so let your four-pawed pal take the lead and explore every corner. This handsome stone cottage, surrounded by wide open fields and stunning sights, offers an exceptional base for a pack of four guests and one lucky pup to relax together. For the humans in the group, a host of top dog facilities await on site – including an indoor swimming pool, sauna, gym, tennis court, spa, and more – allowing you to truly unwind between dog-walking adventures and lobbing endless tennis balls.

Step into this bright, neutrally decorated holiday home, which features a reverse-level layout. Upon entering, you’ll notice a dedicated dog station with all the essentials you’ll need for your daily walks. Let Rover trot upstairs and make themselves at home in the open-plan living area, set beneath a high, beamed ceiling. Skylights flood the space with natural light, and there’s more than enough room to get cosy and comfortable at the end of each day. Spend your evenings warming toes and paws in front of the wood burner before heading downstairs to find two bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. Outside, a shared lawn space is ready to be explored – just remember to keep your pup on a lead.

A hidden haven of tranquillity, Branton Lakes lies just metres from the property – perfect for keen anglers and those who enjoy peaceful waterside walks. Surrounding the cottage is the breathtaking Breamish Valley, an area of rolling hills, tumbling rivers, and ancient hill forts – the perfect setting for Fido to leave no stick unfetched. Energetic pups in search of wilder adventures will love exploring the Cheviot Hills, approximately 10 miles away, while beach-loving dogs will adore the dog-friendly sands that line the Northumberland Coast, just 21.5 miles from your doorstep.

The information provided in the welcome booklet was great, we did one of the walks (walk 1) using the map - Ingram Cafe was a lovely find. The cottage is a comfortable base for a family and great for visiting local tourist attractions. The daily pool access at the spa is brilliant - staff were lovely and helpful. The amenities like kids plaRead morey areas were lovely, the local lake walk was brilliant, we saw adders on a few occasions and the oyster catchers. We didn't make it to Bosk so can't comment on that. We had an issue with the fridge which the owner and holiday cottages were great at resolving and at checking in after to ensure all was well. The welcome treats and milk were a great help as I'd forgotten to bring milk and we arrived on a bank holiday. We don't have a dog but the cottage is brilliantly provisioned for four-legged guests.

Lovely property. Lovely location. Good value for money. Few cobwebs and very thin walls so need to all go to bed at same time if you have a young child!

I spent a lovely week with my daughter and her family, my grandson of 5 said it was the best holiday of his life, so good recommendation. Having the pool, spa, tennis courts, games room and play area was ideal. I love Northumberland because Im from there, so peaceful and the scenery is beautiful. So absolutely fabulous week.
