Once a village school and now a beautifully converted stone cottage, this stylish hideaway sits right in the centre of Alnwick – ideal for couples and small groups exploring Northumberland with a waggy-tailed companion in tow.
Step inside to the impressive open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner – a bright, double-height space filled with character, colour and natural light from the original Georgian windows. Sink into the leather Chesterfield sofa with your four-legged chum at your feet and pop on your favourite show, or gather at the dining table for leisurely holiday meals. The sleek kitchen has everything you’ll need for relaxed cooking, from morning coffee to evening feasts. The retreat offers two luxurious king-size bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room. One is located on the ground floor, and the second sits on a private mezzanine where you can stargaze through the skylight before drifting to sleep. Outside, enjoy your own private patch of lawn – perfect for letting your furry friend have a sniff and a potter while you sit out with a cup of tea or a chilled drink. There is also private parking for one car, making coming and going a breeze.
The cottage places you just moments from the town’s cobbled marketplace, independent cafes and artisan shops, while Alnwick Garden and the famous castle (as seen in Harry Potter) are an easy stroll away. The gardens host special dog days throughout the year. With countryside and coast close at hand, you'll have endless walkies options. Head to the sandy sweep of Alnmouth Beach, 4.5 miles away, for shoreline strolls and sandy paws, or wander the waterfront at Amble (9 miles) and soak up the harbourside atmosphere with Fido by your side.
