Your pet will feel like a top dog in this bright and breezy village hideaway. Just right for a couple or small family, it’s moments from unspoilt beaches and coastal walks, and boasts a private garden where your furry friend can play, plus a wood burner for winter cosiness.

The charming stone cottage combines characterful features with modern comforts, with pale tones that mingle with herringbone floors and exposed stonework. Follow your hound into the welcoming lounge, which boasts plush seating around a Smart TV and a wood burner set in an inglenook. There’s also a dining table ready for four people to gather for leisurely meals. The compact kitchen includes a microwave, dishwasher and that vital coffee machine, and completing the ground floor is a delightful family shower room. When you start to yawn, settle your four-pawed pal and head upstairs to find two tranquil bedrooms, thoughtfully designed for restful sleep. The paved front garden, bordered by tall hedges for peace and privacy, includes outdoor dining furniture ready for you to enjoy sociable days in the sunshine or al fresco meals under twinkling stars. Private parking for one car is provided at the back of the house.

If your hound loves long runs on golden sands, head to Alnmouth Beach, just 1.5 miles away and dog-friendly all year. Join the coastal path for exhilarating hikes with stunning views and the chance to spot seals or dolphins in the water. You could even venture as far as Warkworth, 6 miles (checking tide times first), and tour its majestic medieval castle or enjoy splashing in the surf of its splendid beach.

A well equipped small cottage located in a lovely village within a 40 minute walk from the coast. An ideal place to stay to explore the east coast of Northumberland.

We had a lovely weeks stay in this comfortable cottage in a superb village location to explore both the Northumberland coast and inland . After a busy day walking and exploring the area it is a delight to return to light the log burner. There is also the bonus of a short walk to support the excellent village pub and community shop.

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage. It was very clean, had everything we needed and its in a great location. The welcome hamper and fridge items were a lovely surprise. The only thing that we would do different next time is to stay longer as 5 days wasnt long enough. It was a 5 minute drive to Alnmouth beach & golf course which was beauRead moretiful and a 10minute drive into Alnwick. There are plenty of lovely places to eat not too far away we would recommend The Whittling House in Alnmouth, the food and service was amazing. There are also lots of places to visit like the castles and gardens, unfortunately we didnt have time to get around everything so we will be planning another trip very soon. We had a lovely stay at Lilac Cottage and we would definitely recommend. Hide

Have stayed at Lilac Cottage once before but not in the summer. We found it very noisy with big lorries coming past all day! Cottage itself has everything you need & was clean & comfortable. Instructions for using the cooker would have been helpful but did manage to work it out! Garden area needs attention, weeds growing! Love the area a very frienRead moredly community! Hide

We had a lovely stay at Lilac cottage. It was very comfortable very clean and had everything we needed. The walk into Almouth was so pretty. Along the riverbank over the bridge and down by the cricket club 20 minutes to the Almouth sign and then another 10 minutes along the estuary into. Into the town beautiful walks too. Thoroughly enjoyed our dayRead more and would recommend the cottage to anybody perfect for a couple or for a couple and a couple of children maybe not big enough for four adults but not impossible.

Such lovely accommodation in the beautiful Northumberland countryside. The cottage was very attractive and had all good quality equipment in the kitchen. The shower was excellent. It was a lovely touch to receive a basket with supplies together with a bottle of wine. The only concern we have and wish to point out is that the door handles on all theRead more heavy wooden doors are badly situated. When closing the kitchen door my wife's little finger on her left hand got jammed and the tip of her finger was crushed and only now nine days later has it completely recovered. My son-in-law experienced a similar problem with the bathroom door though not as bad an injury as my wife's finger. I feel the owner of the cottage would be advised to remedy this as a child's hand would certainly have a more serious injury if caught in the door. However I have to point out that it was a beautiful cottage and our holiday was not marred with this. Hide
