Bring your pups along with you to this gorgeous cottage in Warkworth. Sleeping four guests, the elegant, two-bedroom abode sits right at the heart of the Northumberland village and encompasses a sun-soaked courtyard garden where dogs can bask on summer days. It’s less than 1 mile from the Northumberland Coast Path and a pup-friendly beach.
Enter the Georgian retreat from the street, pausing in the porch to hang dog leads and your outerwear. Amble into the lounge to sink back into the plump white furniture while the dogs make themselves comfortable on the floor. Watch the Smart TV, set up a boardgame, or take furry friends through to the snug for some quiet canine time together. The lovely, light kitchen is to the rear of the cottage. Here, you can whip up tasty treats for pets and people, then set the table for special meals. Open the French doors to the garden on fine days so the dogs can bustle outside. Settle them for the night downstairs, then ascend to the first floor for your own superb sleep. Here you’ll find a double bedroom and a super-king-size room that can also be arranged as two singles on request. This lovely bedroom has an en-suite shower room, while the family shower room is also upstairs. Linger over afternoon tea in the pretty courtyard on sunny days. Take the pups for an evening walk alongside the river, then return to enjoy a glass of wine under the stars. Parking is on nearby streets, subject to availability.
If your dogs have the energy, stride out on a 6-mile walk to Alnmouth, where the beach also welcomes pets. Spend an afternoon at Druridge Bay Country Park, 4.5 miles away, where four-pawed pals are always welcome.
