Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Bamburgh, Northumberland

A homely semi-detached property on the outskirts of Bamburgh, one of the most iconic villages anywhere in the 40-mile long Northumberland Coast AONB. Featuring a spacious lounge, open-plan kitchen/diner and a patio garden to the rear, this dog-friendly property is perfect for small families or two couples seeking a relaxing break near the sea. Located on a quiet road leading towards Bamburgh Castle, this two-storey property boasts bright and airy rooms peppered with contemporary and rustic colours and soft furnishings.

Stepping through the hallway, the lounge is an inviting area no matter what the time of day or year, with comfortable seating easy to find. A set of glazed doors lead through to the open-plan kitchen diner, a real haven for foodies keen to experiment with local produce and host long, indulgent meals that warm the soul. The en-suite king-size bedroom and neighbouring twin bedroom both have ample storage space and sit across from a family bathroom.

French doors in the kitchen/diner lead out onto the enclosed patio garden, a real sun trap perfect for morning coffees and alfresco dining. Bambrugh offers a wealth of activities to dog-owning families, from walks along its beach to mooches around its shops, bars and restaurants. Dogs are welcome to roam the grounds of the castle, one of many ancient sites that litter the Northumberland Coast AONB.

There is even a golf course in the village. The coastal path from Bambrugh takes ardent walkers all the way to Seahouses (3 miles), a large village with a bustling harbour. Alnick, Dunstanburgh and Caster (all within 16 miles) are great options for a long day out farther away from the property, each one with fascinating culinary, historical and cultural stories to tell.
