Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Amble, Northumberland

Located a few metres from Amble's award-winning High Street, this detached, stone-built cottage beautifully blends original features with classic and contemporary interiors. Ideal for a family-friendly break or a couples' getaway, this two-bedroom property also welcomes two canine companions. After exhilarating days exploring the coast and countryside, return here to relax in the cosy lounge or bubble beneath the stars in the outdoor hot tub.

Arranged over two storeys, this delightful cottage has been lovingly refurbished to create a true home from home. Light and spacious with a beautifully polished floor and an inglenook fireplace with an electric wood-burner-effect fire, the lounge is a focal point of this property. Fill the room with laughter and chatter about your day, or settle down for a cosy film night in front of the Smart TV.

Next door, cook up a storm in the contemporary kitchen, then gather around the bench dining table to feast or dine alfresco in the courtyard garden. The hot tub offers the perfect respite after long days hiking, then head upstairs to get comfy under the covers of the king-size and twin bedrooms. After a rejuvenating night's sleep, refresh in the ground-floor bathroom, ready for new adventures.

There's plenty to explore in this friendly little port town, from an array of independent shops and eateries to a picturesque harbour. Head here to munch on fresh fish and chips and wander around the popular Harbour Village, a group of shopping pods selling gifts and foodie bits. Hop on the puffin cruise to see these comical little birds nesting along the coast and nearby islets, or travel back in time to Warkworth Castle (1.5 miles).

Further afield, don't miss a trip to magnificent Alnwick Castle (9 miles) or enjoy a day on the golden sands of Alnmouth (6 miles).
