Tucked right in the heart of Alnwick, this charming stone cottage is a stylish and welcoming retreat for a family or small group, plus a tail-wagging travel buddy. Sleeping five guests, this three-bedroom haven comes with thoughtful touches throughout, including its very own outdoor sauna for those post-adventure wind-down moments.
Step inside to the welcoming kitchen/diner, where natural wood flooring and a farmhouse table create a homely feel. Also on the ground floor, the cosy lounge invites you to settle in with soft seating and the warmth of a wood burner set into a beautiful exposed-stone fireplace for evening snuggles with your trusty hound curled up nearby. When sleep calls, head upstairs to three beautifully finished bedrooms with quality linens. One room has a super-king-size zip-and-link bed that can be arranged as twins for flexibility, alongside a king-size and a single room. The gleaming family bathroom features exposed stonework and a free-standing copper bathtub for long, dreamy soaks. Step outside to the south-facing courtyard for your morning brew while Rover explores in safety. And if you’d like to take your relaxation to the next level, the outdoor sauna (with shower and WC) can be booked in advance for private use. There is free on-street parking nearby (subject to availability).
Everything you need is close by: wander 350 metres to the bustling market square to pick up local treats, stroll 0.5 miles to see the iconic castle, or lose yourself in the beautifully landscaped Alnwick Garden, where dogs are welcome on designated days of the year. Take your furry companion for an adventure on woodland rambles or along scenic stretches of the Northumberland Coast Path, which runs for over 60 glorious miles. For beach days, Alnmouth (4.5 miles) and Warkworth (8 miles) both offer sweeping sands that are perfect for sandy paws and sea-breeze zoomies.
