Treat the whole pack to an unforgettable seaside stay at this charming cottage in Seaton Sluice. Perfect for families or couples with furry friends in tow, this welcoming retreat, which sleeps six, boasts sweeping coastal views and is just 650 metres from the wide sandy beach.
Five stone steps lead you to the front door, where you can hang leads and coats and slip off sandy shoes. Enter into the stylish lounge/diner with its mid-century vibes and flop onto comfortable seating after a windswept coastal walk. Crack open a board game, curl up with a book while your faithful friend dozes by your feet, or watch a film on the Smart TV. Gather everyone around the large dining table for hearty meals prepared in the modern kitchen equipped with everything you’ll need for easy self-catering. There’s a handy ground-floor cloakroom too. Head upstairs to find three inviting bedrooms: two doubles (one with glorious sea views) and a bunk room for children, looking towards the harbour. The gleaming family bathroom rounds off the home. Outside, the front patio is just right for afternoon tea, while the enclosed rear courtyard offers morning sunshine and a safe space for your four-legged pal to relax. A handy gate leads to the back lane and village green for a quick walk. Parking is on-street, less than 50 metres away, with easy access for loading and unloading directly outside the cottage.
Spend sunny mornings strolling the dunes or picnicking while your four-legged adventurer explores. Reward yourself with lunch at one of the village’s popular dog-friendly pubs or restaurants. For keen walkers (on two legs or four), the coastal path beckons. Visit Whitley Bay (3 miles) with its buzzing seafront, stopping at St Mary’s Lighthouse for photos and incredible views.
