Surround yourself in classic grandeur at this beautiful Grade II-listed home in Alnwick. Sleeping eight people over four bedrooms and welcoming two canine companions, it’s ideal for families or groups of friends in search of an elegant abode to call home while they explore the magnificent Northumberland countryside with their pups by their side. Spend a glorious day strolling along the dog-friendly sands at Alnmouth Beach, and in the evening, come home to share a casual al fresco dinner on your cottage’s smart patio.
Step inside this stone-built period home and you’ll be greeted by magnificent high ceilings and parquet floors in the hallway. Make your way to the large lounge area and take a moment to appreciate the sleek mid-century-modern styling before you head to the impressive kitchen/diner to cook up a storm. Share an elegant meal at the large wooden dining table, or step outside and dine alfresco on the rear patio while your pups play in the enclosed space. Afterwards, indulge in a glass of something cool and crisp while the stars come out, or head back to the lounge to stretch out in front of your favourite movie while your pups snooze at your feet. When the day is done, head upstairs and you’ll discover four glamorous bedrooms – two king-size with en-suite shower rooms, one double and one single with a trundle bed that can be made up for an additional child on request. A smart family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the chic layout.
Bookish pups can join you while you browse the shelves of the famous Barter Books (0.5 miles), which is located in a Victorian railway station. Alternatively, set off for walkies at Warkworth Beach (8 miles), where faithful friends are welcome all year round.
