    The place

    Part of the Brinkburn Manor House estate, Priory Cottage is near the Gardeners’ Cottages next to the main building. So, you might see the owner’s dogs amble by. Halfway between the Northumberland National Park and the coast, Brinkburn is set into a bend of the Coquet River, with a green belt of unspoilt countryside separating it from a selection of historic towns and villages nearby – all ready to be explored with your four-legged friend. Find wild moors and hikes through the woods, or follow the river all the way to the sea. If you feel like staying closer to home, there are a number of award-winning dog-friendly pubs and restaurants serving pub classics and seasonal dishes. End the day with a deservedly long shower in the modern wet room, then settle down by the wood burner along with your partner in crime and listen to the crackle and pop before drifting off.

    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. Kept lit with hydroelectricity and powered by hydraulics – take a look around the first house ever lit by electricity!??This is a ‘two paws’ rated National Trust space, so your dog will be 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
