Get the gang together for a trip to Northumberland. This property would be perfect for a small family and their dog, and the neighbouring cottages on the holiday complex can be booked in tandem for a trip with a larger group. You’ll be in a great spot to explore the coast and learn about the local history with the Scottish border.
The ground floor is divided into two rooms. Firstly, there’s a family bathroom with a shower, bath and WC, and then there’s an open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner, perfect for socialising. The lounge is comfortable and has a flame-effect electric fire for cosiness, then the kitchen has pops of colour to contrast with the dining area. You’ll have everything you could need for a relaxing evening of food and quality time as your dog curls up in their bed. Continue upstairs to see the two bedrooms. There’s a twin room with a sloped ceiling, skylight and wooden finishes, and a double bedroom to match. The property has a private patio, which is enclosed by a wooden fence and supplied with garden furniture, and you can use the shared grounds, including a play paddock for the children.
This area of Northumberland has many fascinating and beautiful spots, but Holy Island takes the cake – or the bone! Located 11 miles away, this incredible place has inspired generations of artists because of its unusual features. You can walk there from the mainland across sand flats, but make sure you check the tide timings because when the tide comes in, it becomes a true island. There is a ferry which goes regularly. You’ll also be close to Tweedmouth (1.5 miles) and Berwick-upon-Tweed (2.5 miles), which have shops and dog-friendly eateries, plus beaches where Fido can splash around.
