Only a mile from pet-friendly sands, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom cottage has a fabulous choice of social spaces so your entire pack can spend time as they please. Great for a multi-generational gathering, its stylish interiors are complemented by an enclosed garden with seating areas in sun and shade.
Leave coats, shoes and pet paraphernalia in the hallway then head straight into the lounge where you can unwind and watch TV; French doors open onto the patio when the pups want a sniff of fresh air. Perfect as a youngsters’ hang-out, the second lounge offers another Smart TV plus a Blu-Ray player, Xbox 360, and a selection of books and games. Self-catering is fuss-free in the kitchen/diner, a generously proportioned room with plenty of floor space for the pups and a dining suite by French doors onto the garden. As sleep-time approaches, two ground-floor bedrooms are in their own wing of the building, just off the hallway. The king-size has an en-suite bathroom, while a bathroom is opposite the twin. Two further bedrooms – a super-king-size with an en-suite bathroom, and a twin with zip-and-link beds that can be made into a super-king-size bed on request, are on the first floor, together with another family bathroom. Children and their four-pawed pals will have a ball in the enclosed garden – complete with a lawn, patio and covered lounge-style seating area, it’s complemented by private parking for up to three cars.
Let the dogs lead the way to Seahouses – a mile from your doorstep the beach is pet-friendly all year, while the village will have everyone drooling over its inns, eateries and fish and chip shops. Take a boat trip from the bustling harbour to the wildlife-rich Farne Islands, or follow the coastal path 3 miles to Bamburgh, where the Grade I-listed castle has dog-friendly grounds.
