Treat yourselves and your favourite furry friend to a truly special stay in Northumberland. This exquisite, three-bedroom cottage in Netherton, 14.5 miles from Alnwick, sleeps six guests and nestles in beautiful, mature gardens that your pal will simply adore. Return from exhilarating country and coastal walks to unwind in the sunshine and listen to the stream as he explores.
Clean muddy paws and leave your outerwear in the boot room before wandering through to the lovely lounge, with its whitewashed, beamed ceiling and Smart TV. Open the doors to the garden on warm days, so your chum can poke his nose out into the fresh air, or stoke up the wood burner when it is cold. The impressive kitchen/diner is very much the hub of the holiday home and your paw-some pal can join in the fun as you cook and dine together in this friendly space. There is also a useful utility room for rinsing through his damp dog towels. Bid him goodnight down here when you are ready to ascend the attractive butterfly staircase. One side of this leads to two super-king-size bedrooms, with zip-and-link beds that can be made up as twins by prior request, while the other takes you to a king-size bedroom, with an en-suite shower room and a TV. The family bathroom is also here. Choose which corner of the delightful garden to unwind in with your contented canine or take him into the elegant garden room. There is private parking here for three cars.
Head just 1.5 miles to find yourselves in the fringes of the Northumberland National Park, with its 600 miles of marked footpaths. Plan a day out to Alnmouth Beach, 19.5 miles away, where your chum can leave pawprints on the sand and potter in rockpools to his heart’s content.
