Property code: OC-87389

Watch your delighted dog race across the sand at Seahouses when you stay at this inviting Northumberland cottage. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom retreat is in an exceptional location for any happy hound owners who enjoy coastal walks. There are also many picturesque places to explore inland within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty before you return to this comfortable cottage, which has an enclosed, courtyard garden.

Enter to find welcoming accommodation where you and your perfect pet can relax together. From the hall, where there is a downstairs WC, wander into the lounge/diner to look for your favourite programme on the Smart TV and pull back the glass doors on fine days so your chum can wander outside. Dish up doggy dinner in the kitchen and make meals in here too for the rest of your party to enjoy at the table in the lounge/diner. There is a useful washing machine in the kitchen where you can rinse through damp and sandy dog towels. Bid your furry friend goodnight at the end of each exhilarating day before making your way upstairs to either the king-size bedroom, with an en-suite shower room and a TV, or the twin room. The family bathroom is also up here. Spill out into the sunshine of the split-level courtyard garden during the spring and summer months. There is room out here to dine outside, while your four-legged chum pads about, and there is storage space for cycles.

Let Rover run free on the beach at Seahouses whenever he chooses. Take him on a 3-mile walk along the sand to Bamburgh, where four-legged visitors are welcome to explore the castle grounds with you. Head 3 miles in the other direction to Beadnell Bay, another dog-friendly beach.

Shell Cottage is ideally located. It is a short walk to the village centre for the shops, bars & restaurants. The golf club house is a 5 minute walk. The coast path is 100mts away and gives access to Beadnall via the golf course to the beach. We loved our stay at She'll Cottage and look forward to returning.
