Relax and unwind at this converted barn with castle views in the historic village of Warkworth. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms and welcoming two canine companions, it’s ideal for small families or groups of friends in search of a peaceful cottage to call home while they explore the stunning Northumberland coast with their pups by their side. Head off for walkies at Warkworth Beach, which is dog friendly all year round, and in the evening, come home to your cottage’s patio to share a BBQ feast while your pups run freely in the enclosed garden.
Step inside this delightful reverse-level barn conversion and head upstairs, where you’ll find an inviting open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area with beautiful beamed ceilings. Slip onto the sofa to admire the lovely views over Warkworth Castle before you head to the smart kitchen area to rustle up some dinner. Share a casual meal at the farmhouse-style dining table, or head out onto the patio garden, fire up a charcoal BBQ and dine alfresco. After dinner, cosy up by the glowing gas fire in the lounge area while your pups sleep contentedly at your feet. At the end of the day, head downstairs and you’ll find a generous master bedroom with a king-size bed and patio doors that lead out into the garden, and a second bedroom with a double bed. Completing the layout, you’ll find a handy family bathroom with a shower over the bath on the same level.
Take your pups to the pretty town of Amble (2 miles) to stroll along the bustling harbour and stop off at a dog-friendly pub or cafe. Alternatively, hike along the woodland trails of Druridge Bay Country Park (4.5 miles), or take a long, windswept walk on the beach at Druridge Bay – it’s dog friendly all year round.
