Teddy's Cottage - Mindrum

Studded in a rural position on the cusp of the Northumberland National Park is this charming cluster of farm cottages. Cosy yet spacious with period features and marvellous views, your accommodation sleeps eight along with three dogs and acts as an ideal base for exploring. Leave no stick unfetched as you navigate the Cheviot Hills or venture to the coast, 18.5 miles away, to experience its rugged beauty, rounding off with snuggly evenings by the wood burner.

Set across a single level with high ceilings and timber beams, your open-plan living space is top dog for relaxing. Pop a log on the wood burner and let sleeping dogs lie while you enjoy some TV viewing over a glass of wine, or grab a good book and settle down to read undisturbed. Prepare delicious meals under the watchful eyes of Rover and feast around the table, then head outside for an after-dinner coffee in the garden. Admire the views from the gravelled patio garden and let the children and pups play safely; at bedtime, you’ll find four bedrooms inside, all with en-suites.

Hop in the car and spend some time investigating Kelso, Wooler and Cornhill-on-Tweed all within 11 miles, rewarding your efforts with hearty lunches in a dog-friendly pub. The Pennine Way is a treat for walkers and cyclists, but the best place to sniff out exciting walks is the diverse landscape of Northumberland National Park. The coast is within touring distance and well worth the 18.5-mile journey simply to soak up the sunsets and impressive sight of Bamburgh Castle, 25.5 miles away; by day, the pooch-friendly sandy beaches are a delight.
