This pretty stone cottage presents a variety of settings where a party of four and two furry pals can spend down-time together. Only a mile from Seahouses’ pet-friendly sands, its flexible accommodation is complemented by an enclosed garden with seating areas in sun and shade.
Drop coats, shoes and doggie gear in the hallway then step into a welcoming lounge where you can unwind and watch TV with the pups by your feet. French doors give easy access onto the patio. Self-catering is fuss-free in the adjacent kitchen/diner, a generously proportioned room with more French doors onto the garden. A second, smaller lounge offers an alternative chill-out space, with a comfortable sofa and selection of entertainment including another Smart TV plus a Blu-Ray player, Xbox 360, and a selection of books and games. A bathroom completes the ground-floor layout, while upstairs there are two dreamy bedrooms – a super-king-size with its own en-suite bathroom, and a twin with zip-and-link beds that can be made into a super-king-size on request. For convenience another family bathroom is on this upper floor. You’ll all have a ball in the garden – enclosed for pet owner's peace of mind, it has a lawn, patio and a covered lounge-style seating area.
Private parking for up to three cars means you can unpack and explore your surrounds at leisure. Let the dogs take the lead and you’ll be in Seahouses in no time – a mile from your doorstep the beach is pet-friendly all year, while the village is home to a drool-inducing range of 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.
