The place

Part of the Brinkburn Manor House estate, Blakey House is one of four terraced houses making up the Gardeners’ Cottages next to the main building. So, you might see the owner’s dogs amble by! High up, towards the last stretch of English countryside, Brinkburn is placed between the Northumberland National Park and the coast. With miles and miles of idyllic countryside around to explore with your dog, you can choose the vast open country, woodland strolls or following the River Coquet that bends around the estate and stretches all the way out to the sea. Pop down the road to one of the nearby villages, for a quick bite to eat, or a drink at one of the dog-friendly pubs or finally finish off that novel in the enclosed garden out front. Either way, we know you’ll end the day soaking in the roll-top bath, and relaxing by the wood burner.

In the neighbourhood

  • The nearby historic market town of Rothbury has a range of dog-friendly restaurants, pubs, interesting independent shops, and even an art gallery. Head to the east side of Rothbury to hop across the river on stepping stones on a gentle circular walk
  • The stunning town of Alnwick is home to Alnwick Castle, made famous by the Harry Potter films. On the grounds, you'll find a cherry orchard, bamboo labyrinth and one of the largest treehouses in the world – which houses the dog-friendly café
  • Cragside House, Gardens & Estate, is a 13-minute drive away, with man-made lakes, beautiful waterfalls and a 1000-acre estate to explore. Your dog's allowed in all outdoor spaces, the shop, and the dog seating area in the tearoom – but only assistance dogs are allowed in the house!
  • Visit Linhope Spout Waterfall, in the Cheviot hills, to watch the 18-metre torrent plough into the ‘bottomless’ plunge pot or stroll to the hidden ponds of Wooler Common. If you’ve got the energy, take on The Cheviot, the highest point in Northumberland. Explore the rest of the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park – and stargaze in the unpolluted night sky
  • There are quite a few historic buildings near the Brinkburn Priory, many castles, estates and ancient structures – and it’d be hard to name them all! However, many do allow dogs on leads on the property (though not inside the buildings themselves). You could go and explore Etal Castle to the north, or Edlingham Castle – just a 20-minute drive away, both welcome on-lead dogs on the grounds
  • If you’re looking for food, just around the corner you’ll find The Village Inn, an award-winning pub serving traditional pub meals with some street food twists. Using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, The Angler’s Arms – also in Longframlington, is a great option too. With an extensive drinks menu, including cocktails, and an equally full food menu, The Queen’s head in Rothbury is also a lovely spot. Still in Rothbury, there’s also The Turk’s Head, which is just around the corner. It’s a classic pub, serving traditional pub grub, with a large beer garden out back – for two and four-legged types alike
