A quirky and vibrant cottage, this property is an ideal holiday home for a family exploring the Northumberland Coast. Sleeping six guests and one dog, it boasts a beautiful kitchen for cooking family meals, as well as lots of seating in both the kitchen and open-plan lounge/diner. Well-equipped for days spent tumbling in sand and roaming the coastal paths, the cottage also comes with a washing machine and tumble dryer to take care of mess from curious children and canines alike.
Bright, stylish, and homely, the cottage has a nautical-style decor and colour scheme, with lovely wooden furnishings and pretty detailing throughout. For your evening’s entertainment choose from the selection of games, books, and films in the lounge. Lassie will keep a safe eye on proceedings from the comfort of the dog bed, placed in the best spot by the warm glow of the wood burner as soon as it is lit. The bedrooms are up a flight of open-tread stairs, and are full of character with exposed beams and sloping ceilings. Let your sleeping dog lie in, and in the morning treat them to a tasty titbit at breakfast as you tuck into a leisurely brunch outside on the terraced garden, where there’s ample seating for al fresco dining.
The picturesque coastal village of Alnmouth (1.5 miles) is the place to go for morning walkies, where your four-legged friend will love to take the lead for a bound along the beach. There are also several shops, selling essentials and souvenirs, as well as cheerful local pubs where canine companions will be welcomed inside. If feet and paws need a break, hop on board The Aln Valley Railway (4 miles) for a scenic trip by steam train.
