Experience tail-wagging good times in rural Northumberland, staying in this canine-compatible cottage with your favourite furry friends. This single-storey retreat sleeps six guests and welcomes two pups, set on a quiet country lane close to both the Northumberland National Park (10 miles) and the Northumberland Coast National Landscpae (9 miles) – perfect for endless walkies and fetching adventures. Enjoy the peace and serenity this rural escape affords, curling up each night with your beloved pooch at your heel – whether that’s on the plush L-shaped sofa in the cosy lounge or out in the spacious garden.

A top dog choice, this stone-built cottage is wonderfully spacious inside and out, offering plenty of room for everyone to relax. Spend sociable evenings in the lounge/diner, a welcoming space with comfortable seating for both dining and unwinding, and patio doors leading to the garden. The well-equipped kitchen is just next door, complete with a breakfast table for more casual meals. At the end of the hallway, you’ll find two king-size bedrooms and one twin room, along with a stylish family bathroom. Outdoors, your dog can enjoy the large, grassy garden. While unenclosed, this generous two-part garden provides ample space for ball games and BBQs – a joy for both humans and hounds. Private parking completes the offering.

Perfectly positioned for exploring Northumberland’s many highlights, you’ll be within easy reach of both Morpeth (7.5 miles) and Alnwick (11 miles). These attractive market towns are full of local character, ideal for leisurely strolls with Fido on the lead and popping into dog-friendly pubs for a pint and a bowl of water. Head to the coast for off-lead adventures along a string of pristine, sandy beaches – all dog friendly year-round. Alnmouth Beach (13 miles) is a particularly scenic spot, perfect for seaside walkies and splashing in the sea.

Absolutely fabulous cottage. Well equipped kitchen, and the air fryer was a boon. Very comfortable sofa and beds. The large enclosed garden was great for the dogs too, and some lovely local countryside walks on the doorstep. The parking is just across the road from the cottage and there is plenty of room for cars. The location was fabulous, justRead more off the A1 it was so easy to get round all the sights. Just a 12 minute drive to Morpeth, with supermarkets, and only 20 minutes to Alnwick Castle and Gardens. We visited Lindisfarne, the Farne Islands, Seahouses and did some lovely drives along the coastal road. There is still so much to see we must plan another visit! Hide

A good base to see the sights in Northumberland 2 minutes from A1, we really liked Amble, the weather was great which was a bonus. I think the owners of Helm cottage really thought of everything that you may need from kitchen utensils to garden chairs. Thank you for a great 3 days.

We stayed for a week at The Helm Cottage; a real last minute decision, but definitely worth it. A lovely, cosy cottage equipped with everything you could need. Plenty of parking across the road, a large garden which our dogs loved, benches for sitting in the sun, and comfy beds and sofa. Well placed for going to the coast and the Northumberland nRead moreational park, as well as Hadrian's wall, Cragside, Newcastle, and further afield. Great food from the Running Fox at Felton and the Harbour Fish Bar in Amble, as well as the Fish Shack in Amble, and the Blagdon farm shop. We had a lovely break and look forward to returning very soon. Hide
