The place
There are few places in Northumberland National Park with views like this. With light and airy interiors, and floor-to-ceiling windows that let you overlook the woven hillside, it’s the perfect place to come with the dog to relax for a few days of luxury. Inside, you’ve got all you need, a spacious kitchen to cook up treats for the two and four-legged types and a roaring wood burner for cosy nights cuddling together on the sofa. When it comes to things to do, there are walks galore in every direction, dog-welcoming local pubs, and the coast under an hour away. But if you’re staying put, test your stargazing skills with one of the kits, or have a lazy soak in the outdoor bath and see if your faithful friend can fetch you a towel. For even more spoiling, book a little time in at the ‘Holistic Healing Cabin’ for treatments like aromatherapy massage, facials or reflexology.
