The place
Found amongst the amazing scenery of Northumberland National Park, Kidlandlee Old Barn looks out on rolling hillsides, sprinkled in conifer forest. This is an amazing spot to take a few days of R&R with the dog. It’s easy to head off on walks straight from the door with the dog in tow (or more likely dragging you along at an excited pace), with a range of short or long ones depending on your preference. If you fancy something on the tougher end, there’s the nearby Windy Gyle to hike with the hound, or for something simpler, visit the Linhope Spout Waterfall. When you’re kicking back inside the place, you’ve got cool, calm interiors – views from the four-poster bed or the pair of singles alike – a stargazing kit for for the astronomically inclined (though views without a telescope will still be amazing), and a wood burner to curl up on the sofa in front of (with the dog on a blanket).
In the neighbourhood
- Walk from the door: Head out of your front door, up the grass cut path above you and follow the path through the woodlands. Cross the gravel track and continue on again through woodland until you reach another gravel track, turn left and follow the loop back around into Kidlandlee
- The Star Inn, 14-minute drive: The Star Inn serves a range of pub classics, specials and, most importantly, has a wood-fired kitchen for serving pizzas. Take the short drive to settle in with a bite to eat with the dog by your side
- Alnmouth Beach, 1-hour drive: Just an hour’s drive away, Alnmouth Beach has a wide, sandy bay to explore with your four-legged friend. Spend the afternoon chasing each other up and down the coast, and finish off at the nearby Red Lion pub
- The Three Wheat Heads, 30-minute drive: Serving up a huge range of dishes, The Three Wheat Heads is a great option to head to. Alongside being welcome in the bar, dogs are also allowed in the huge beer garden.
