Throw a ball for your excited dog and watch him race gleefully across the lush lawn at this delightful holiday home in Alnwick. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom stone hideaway is a holiday haven for hounds, thanks to its generous, enclosed garden. Head out of town to find fabulous countryside footpaths to follow or venture 5 miles to the beach at Alnmouth, where four-pawed pals are welcome all year round.
Wander inside the single-storey abode to discover a barn-style interior with vaulted and beamed ceilings. Leave wellies, jackets, and dog leads in the porch and follow your furry friend as he trots through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Let him nose about and explore while you top up his food and water bowls in the chic kitchen area. Brew fresh coffee in the machine and carry it over to the soft leather seating while he enjoys his feast. Sit down to your own meals at the large table and while away your evenings playing a boardgame or watching the Smart TV with your puppy pal stretched out on the soft rug. Bid your canine companion goodnight and head through to the bedrooms. These include a super-king-size room with an en-suite bathroom, a king-size, and a twin room that converts to a super-king-size on request. There is also a gorgeous family bathroom with a free-standing bath. Play games out in the garden, then dine on the patio and enjoy the sunshine together. There is off-road parking for three cars.
Head down to Alnmouth to pick up the Northumberland Coast Path and stride out for bracing dog walks with magnificent views. Venture 16 miles inland to find yourselves on the edge of the Northumberland National Park with its incredible landscapes. Thrunton Wood, 10 miles away, is also a great dog-friendly destination.
