Dog-friendly cottages in Alnmouth

Find your perfect pet-friendly place to stay in Alnmouth

"My puppy and I love a trip to Alnmouth. We usually spend a few hours exploring the beach before wandering through the village, dipping in and out of the lovely independent gift shops. To round off the day, we treat ourselves to a meal at The Whittling House, a favourite spot to warm up in front of the fire and relax after a long walk along the coast." – Regional expert, local, and Gold Northumberland Ambassador, Jessica McMonagle.

Our favourite things to do on a dog-friendly holiday in Alnmouth

Situated at the bottom of the Northumberland National Landscape, you’ll have no shortage of places to take holiday hounds on day trips in and around Alnmouth. When we say you will be spoiled for choice, we mean it. Here are some of the must-dos to add to your holiday itinerary:

Housesteads Roman Fort

The dramatic Housesteads Roman Fort is a fantastic family day out. The best part, because it’s managed by the National Trust and English Heritage, you can enjoy free entry if you have a membership. There will likely be livestock grazing, so please keep your dog on their lead.

Alnmouth Beach

And who can forget a day at the beach? Grab your beach bag and head over any time of the year – there are absolutely no dog restrictions. There are car parks, public WCs, and shops nearby, so it’s the perfect way to spend a day. We recommend eating at the Hope & Anchor for happy hour on your beach trip.

Warkworth Castle

Nearby Warkworth Castle is a great day out, with dogs on leads welcome to every part of the grounds. If you still have energy after exploring the castle, there are lovely river walks nearby.
