Why we love it

Wild walks and hikes straight from the door, the coast 30 minutes away, and just a 12-minute drive to the Northumberland National Park

Dogs will love

Taste testing the treats left out for them
All the different terrain to explore
Trying to hoover the floor in the dog-friendly pubs nearby

Humans will love

Inspecting the stately grounds
The access to the Northumberland wild from the front door
The rainfall shower in the bathroom

The place

Part of the Brinkburn Manor House estate, Mullins 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! Brinkburn is found in the midst of the Northumberland wild, knitted into the myriad of walks, hikes and gentle ambles over the mix of rolling fields, wild moors and dramatic hills. Punctuating each walk, there’s a historic town or village to explore, letting you plan each walk with a rest stop or end point to make the best of the Northumberland countryside. Pop into some dog-friendly pubs in the locale, or follow the meandering trail of the Coquet River to the sea to taste test the restaurants on the coast, or in neighbouring towns. If you’re feeling a little more like R&R than an energetic ramble, spend the afternoon half-napping in the southernly facing garden, and undertake the exhausting few steps indoors to knock together a treat for tea. Then sink into the comfy armchair to ‘just rest your eyes’ by the wood burner afterwards – if your dog hasn’t already taken the best spot.

You should know

Livestock sometimes roam in the estate's fields, so dogs can explore on leads
If you're lucky you'll meet the owner's friendly dogs, Ruby and Ivy, who wander the estate grounds

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
