Once a family retreat for the British prime minister Earl Grey, this beautifully updated Grade II-listed cottage makes a fabulous getaway for up to six guests seeking an idyllic getaway in a stunning part of Northumberland. With ample space for a pair of canine companions to tag along, the property enjoys glorious panoramic views out to sea. Featuring a wood burner in an inglenook fireplace, exposed stonework and window seats, this unique cottage is perched above the rocks and sandy coves in a secluded spot along a tranquil stretch of coast.
Approaching the cottage along a 400-metre private track, the ground floor features a country-style open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. With a wood burner set in the inglenook, and plenty of seating including a window seat, the lounge is a perfect spot for everyone to get together and unwind. There’s a delightful dining area to the back of the room, perfect for a family feast which you can rustle up in the stylish kitchen. There’s also a shower room and a spacious twin bedroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, the first floor has two relaxing bedrooms offering idyllic views: the double room looks out towards Dunstanburgh Castle, while the super-king-size room overlooks the sea. There’s also a refreshing family bathroom. The property has a lovely grassy terraced garden offering sea views beyond the stone wall. Featuring a BBQ and outdoor furniture, the private garden has plenty of space for your pets to run around as you enjoy a drink.
The area has a wealth of pet-friendly beaches including Craster, Beadnell Bay and Newton Haven, all within 11 miles. Dogs are welcome to help you explore Dunstanburgh Castle (2.5 miles) and Warkworth Castle (9.5 miles), and there are plenty of pet-friendly places to eat and drink in the vibrant town of Alnwick (7 miles).
