Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 5 - Chathill (2mls NE), Northumberland

Northumberland is an excellent destination for a staycation, and the village of Chathill has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts and those who love catching the surf. This characterful cottage sleeps five and is perfectly suited to guests seeking a tranquil setting, yet offers easy access to a plethora of scenic walks and Beadnell Bay 1.5 miles away. Your holiday can be as active as you please, whether you are dusting down your wetsuits for water sports, or navigating the footpaths through this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Homely and well-appointed throughout, the property is tailored to families and groups who prefer to relax over film nights and board games. Prepare meals in the generous kitchen/diner with its electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and microwave, then gather your party around the table to dine at leisure. There’s a comfortable lounge with seating for everyone, and a door from the hallway leads to the country-cottage garden.

The garage has a table tennis table for a spot of evening entertainment. Refresh yourself in the downstairs shower room, and when it is time for bed, there is a choice of three light and airy bedrooms upstairs. Completing the property is a generous bathroom and a downstairs shower room.

There is off-road parking for two cars. Venture down to Beadnell Bay, 1.5 miles away, to watch the boats or perhaps try your hand at water sports such as kitesurfing and paddleboarding. Charter a boat to visit the Farne Islands, or keep your feet firmly on dry land with coffee and cake in a cafe.

For the history enthusiasts, Bamburgh Castle, 6 miles away, is guaranteed to delight guests of all ages, especially when taking in the views from the grounds.
