Explore the magnificent Northumberland National Park from this dog-friendly hideaway in Thropton. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom, single-storey, wood-clad cottage, which is 2.5 miles from Rothbury, captures commanding views out across the picturesque Coquet Valley. Enjoy quality canine time with your best furry friend out in the sunny garden or while basking beside the crackling wood burner.
Return from long walks to clean muddy paws and head inside to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with your chum at your heel. This exceptionally stylish space has a Scandinavian style, complete with a modern wood burner to light on chilly days. Open the doors to the garden on fine days and watch your pet as he saunters outside. Absorb the astounding views from the comfort of the lounge space, where you can also enjoy a gripping boxset or lively holiday game. Whip up tasty meals with Northumberland produce in the chic kitchen area, then sit down to eat at the dining table. Feed your furry friend in the kitchen or utility room, where you can also settle him for the night. The lovely bedrooms include a king-size room with a private office and en-suite shower room, plus a double bedroom and a cosy twin. The family bathroom has both a shower and a bath to ensure you have a choice. Spill out into the gorgeous, lawned garden to throw a ball for your four-pawed pal. Dine al fresco as you gaze out across the scenic Northumberland countryside. There is off-road parking for three cars.
