Your entire pack will feel instantly at home in this Northumberland stay, unwinding in the cosy lounge or getting a good night’s sleep in comfy beds.

This traditional cottage boasts a nautical theme throughout, a constant reminder of your seafront location. Head in via the backdoor and enter the handy utility room, abandoning muddy boots and drying soggy pups. Fido and Rover will no doubt make a beeline for the cosy lounge, the perfect spot for mid-afternoon naps. The kitchen is well-equipped to feed your entire muttley crew and dining together can be enjoyed in this open-plan space. When it’s time for bed, let sleeping dogs lie in the lounge and find two bedrooms up the open tread staircase. The master bedroom is a double with far-reaching views out to sea. Morning coffee can be taken in the shared rear lawn, letting your energised dogs enjoy a dose of fresh morning air.

 

Wander mere metres down to the harbour and enjoy the salty sea breeze, a great spot for a dog walk. Situated in the heart of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you’re certain to find a whole host of walking routes along the seafront. Take the lead and enjoy a relaxing stroll up to Dustanburgh Castle (1 mile), taking in beautiful seafront ruins on arrival. Pack your tennis balls and head to Embleton Bay (3.5 miles), a wide expanse of sandy shore where dogs are welcome to stretch their legs and children can play in the water.

A warm and cosy cottage, a stunning location with great views of the sea and the harbour from the front windows. Really liked having the separate utility room which was ideal for coats and walking boots as well as dog kit. The welcome pack was really good as there are no shops within a walkable distance so set us up for the first day.
