Why we love it

Surrounded by endless country walks, coastal adventures and the Northumberland National Park. And a hot tub to return to!


What you'll love

  • Trying (and failing) to catch seagulls at the beach
  • Exploring every inch of the enclosed garden
  • Woodland walks followed by trips to the pub

Humans will love

  • Sinking into the hot tub under Northumberland’s Dark Skies
  • Crisping up a marshmallow on the firepit
  • Cooking local fare on the BBQ

The place

If you’re looking for a bit of peace and quiet, with adventures in every direction – this is the spot for you and your four-legged friend. It’s just a 20-minute drive to Northumberland National Park, and the same to the sea in the opposite direction. If you’re headed to the coast, you can pick from castle hopping, exploring the fishing villages and market towns for shops and cafés or, of course, a good old sprint down the sand! The national park holds all the hikes you could ask for and makes the perfect spot to work some energy out of the hound. When you’re back at this dog-friendly cabin however, you’ve got your own little slice of the countryside to kick back and enjoy, taking in the views from the enclosed garden, or snuggling on the sofa together in a tangle of four legs and two. Although the hot tub, is strictly a human treat (sorry Fido)

  • The owner has a working cocker spaniel and collies on site that you may meet during your stay
  • When heading out around the farm, please lead up and be mindful of out of bounds areas and farm machinery

In the neighbourhood

  • Walk from the door: a gravel track runs for five miles through the farm, passing by the 14 windmills on site. Just follow the path for a nice long wander!
  • Hepburn Woods, 25-minute drive. Hop on over to Hepburn Woods for a stroll with the hound in tow (or more like you in tow) and explore the trails. Just keep an eye out for horse riders and mountain bikers!
  • Bamburgh Beach & Castle, 25-minute drive. With the town, castle and beach all close enough together to leave the car and explore, this is a great spot for sandy strolls and a warming cup of tea.
  • Tankerville Arms, 20-minute drive. If you’re in the mood for classic pub fare, and a roaring fire, then this is the spot for you. A 19th century coaching inn, they focus on local produce, and real ales. And are, of course, dog friendly.
