Nice cosy cottage, friendly hosts and a really nice welcome pack for all of us. Ideal base for exploring the local area and Northumberland in general. There are some beautiful beaches near by for dog walks.
Would we return ? Yes definitely, it is what it says "dog friendly".

The cottage is a perfect base for exploring Northumberland. Lots to see and do, and the owners are very friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. Very dog friendly too - and great for those with potentially reactive dogs too due to its location.
