Studded at the heart of a delightful village less than a mile from the sea, this charming property is the perfect choice for a relaxing staycation on the Northumberland coast. Ideal for small groups of up to four humans and two hounds, there’s a plethora of scenic trails leading directly from your doorstep to windswept beaches and dramatic castle ruins. When your paws grow weary, return your cosy abode for an evening of fine dining and good wine, letting sleeping dogs lie by your feet, dreaming of their adventures.
Simple, stylish and lovingly accessorised with cheerful extra details, this quintessential cottage is brimming with home comforts. Wake up to the sounds of the village coming to life in the early morning, taking your coffee outside through the shared access path and up the steps to the enclosed garden. Sizzle up a special breakfast in the country-cottage style kitchen, slipping a few morsels to Fido as he waits patiently under the lounge/diner table. Banish any messes to the handy shower-room, hosing off muddy paws before relaxing on the sofas in front of a good film. Two small steps lead up to the comfortable bedrooms, each one dressed to perfection for a restful night’s sleep.
Your sea dog will adore frolicking in the waves of the nearby beaches, thundering across the sandy shores of Embleton Bay and sniffing for rabbits in the dunes. A 3.5-mile walk or drive will bring you to Craster, where you can explore the pretty harbour and sample some tantalisingly fresh seafood. From here, you can walk along the rugged coastal path to reach the National Trust site of Dunstanburgh Castle with its imposing ruins and spectacular views.
