This cosy hideaway just moments from the beach in Warkworth is a superb base for three pampered pups and two humans to stroll by the river, run in the surf and go on walkies through beautiful woodland. Back home, your boutique bolthole offers a home-from-home welcome, including a sumptuous king-size bedroom and a Smart TV.
From the quiet, shared courtyard (also an access to neighbouring properties) go up a step and into the cottage, which is set all on one level. The open-plan living space is filled with artworks and books, and includes plush seating gathered around a coal-effect electric fire and a Smart TV – perfect for quiet evenings at home with your hounds snoozing in their beds. Prepare hearty holiday fare in the kitchen, which includes a microwave and a dishwasher, and enjoy them at the dining table by the window. When you start to yawn, settle your pets and head to the king-size bedroom, which is decorated in tranquil tones and includes ample storage, luxurious linens and a TV. A chic shower room lined with porcelain tiles adds yet another elegant touch. Outside, a bench by the front door provides a quiet spot for a morning coffee or a sundowner. Parking is on the roadside nearby, and you may load and unload right by the gate.
In Warkworth you can head out on riverside walks or take your furry friends on the lead for a sniff around the ruins of medieval Warkworth Castle. There are plenty of dog-friendly pubs and places to eat, while the beach, 1 mile, is a fabulous stretch of sand that’s perfect for zoomies and playing in the waves. For rambles through sand dunes, among woodland and by the lake, Druridge Bay Country Park is just 4.5 miles.
