Your dogs will go barking mad when you book a stay at this high-quality cottage with room for families or friends and up to three furry pals. Perfectly placed for beach runs, stroll on the coastal path and pints in the dog-friendly village pub, it even has an enclosed patio where your hounds can play safely.

Follow your mutts up the three steps to the front door to find a bright, stylish and spacious escape, set on a single level. Get your pets’ beds ready to snuggle up in the inviting lounge, where a wood-burner-effect gas fire will warm you on cooler evenings. Plenty of soft seating and a Smart TV mean you can really sit back and relax. In the huge kitchen/diner the cook can get creative with delicious meals, and you can all dine together under the large skylight, folding the doors back as your pups wander in and out of the patio. Three carefully designed bedrooms each have a Smart TV, the king-size boasting an en-suite shower while the others share a family bathroom with a free-standing bath and separate shower. The rear patio is perfect for al fresco drinks and dining as your four-pawed friends play in the fresh air, and there’s also a front lawn with casual seating for catching the sun. Private parking for two cars adds to the convenience of this five-star property.

The charming village of Embleton is just 1 mile from Embleton Bay Beach, an unspoilt stretch of sand that’s perfect for long runs and games of fetch. Follow the coast path for stunning views, perhaps all the way to Craster, 3 miles, to try its renowned kippers. For another great beach and a stroll round a majestic, ruined castle (with canines on leads), head to Warkworth, 12 miles.

Beautiful cottage, lots of extra touches and everything you need provided for a relaxing break in a home from home. Great location within walk of a beautiful, quiet beach, and 2 local pubs and village shop. Bamburgh, Seahouses, Beadnell and Alnwick a short drive. Would highly recommend Hedgehog House and Embleton for a break away.

What more can you say but this place was perfect. Located close to the beach, and perfect as a base for travelling up and down the coast. It was furnished as if it was your own home and not a holiday home which meant it was incredibly comfortable, and were the beds! The incredible hot tub and pergola just finished it off.

I stayed with three dogs and my elderly parents - we spent a fabulous week in this cottage. It was very well furnished and full equipped. Secure courtyard was a huge bonus as weather was lovely. Highly recommend.
