This superb Northumberland country house, located half a mile along a farm track, is perfect for a family or couples’ getaway – with three dogs welcome! Sleeping six across three bright and welcoming bedrooms, this cottage is the ideal opportunity to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. There are plenty of attractions on the doorstep to keep humans and canines busy; head down to the coast to the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle (9 miles), accessed via a beautiful 1.3-mile walk from the nearby village of Craster.
The property, which offers views of the Cheviot Hills on one side and the breathtaking Northumberland coast on the other, is spacious and comfortable. Enter via the stone-built entrance into a large boot room big enough for all your outdoor gear before heading into the beautiful open-plan living area. Snuggle up in front of the wood burner with the hounds by your feet after a long day out exploring. Cook up a storm in the airy shaker-style kitchen and eat in the outstanding dining area, complete with a bay window and window seats so you can take in the stunning countryside views.
Take a trip to the historic market town of Alnwick (6 miles) and have a browse in the famous second-hand bookshop housed in the old railway station. Be king or queen for the day at Warkworth Castle (13.5 miles) that crowns the hilltop above the River Coquet or wander the gardens at Cragside (17 miles) and discover one of the largest rock gardens in Europe. Get your paws wet in the sea at Embleton Bay (8 miles), where the hounds are welcome all year round; this golden sandy beach is perfect for rock pooling thanks to its bright, clear water.
