Dog Friendly Cottages in Northumberland

From coast to countryside, the county of Northumberland offers something for all explorers and their canine companion to discover. Why not escape the everyday bustle for a few days to Holy Island or the tranquil and picturesque village of Warkworth? Our dog friendly cottages in Northumberland are the perfect base for relaxing and unwinding, as well as dog walks, in the company of your four-legged friend. Northumberland has even been named as one of our favourite places for dog friendly holidays in our guide to taking your dog away on a break, and we've got plenty of pet friendly cottages for you to pick from in every corner.

Experience tranquillity in the Northumberland National Park, or head to the seaside and enjoy the dog friendly beaches and splendid coastal views from the fishing villages of the glorious Northumberland Coast - a recognised Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Seahouses and Beadnell in Northumberland both feature as a top location for dog friendly holidays in our guide to choosing the perfect staycation for your dog's breed. Wherever you decide to stay, you can rest assured that natural beauty is never too far from the doorstep of your dog friendly holiday cottage.

Our dog-friendly cottages in Northumberland are dotted all over the county, giving you plenty of choice. Looking for a secluded holiday home in the picturesque village of Otterburn with a private hot tub? Or, perhaps a coastal cottage in the traditional fishing village of Bamburgh is just what you need to relax with an enclosed garden? For the lovers of the outdoors among you, what about a detached cottage situated in the heart of Northumberland National Park? For special breaks with your four legged friends, you’ll also find an excellent choice of luxury pet friendly cottages, complete with swimming pools and tennis courts! That's before we even mention our incredible range of dog friendly accommodation, pet friendly lodges and log cabins ready for your next cosy getaway. Whichever dream property you have in mind, you’ll find it with our special offers here at Dog Friendly Cottages.

Frequent questions

  • What are the best dog friendly cottages in Northumberland?

  • How do I pick dog friendly accommodation?

    When choosing dog friendly cottages in Northumberland, consider factors such as pet policies, available amenities for pets, proximity to dog-friendly beaches and attractions, countryside walks and parks, and reviews from previous guests with pets. Always communicate with the accommodation provider beforehand to ensure they meet your pet's needs and adhere to any specific requirements or restrictions. For example, if you need a spacious cottage with room for your four legged friend to make lots of noise, choose a detached holiday cottage with an enclosed garden and a pet friendly washing machine for all those muddy paw prints on towels and dog hair on blankets.

  • Where are the best places to stay in Northumberland National Park?

    The best places to stay in Northumberland National Park often include charming villages such as Rothbury, Bellingham, and Wooler, which offer a range of accommodation options and easy access to the park's stunning landscapes. Additionally, the town of Hexham, just outside the park's southern boundary, also serves as a great base with its amenities and historical local attractions.

  • What facilities should I look for when choosing dog friendly cottages in Northumberland?

    When selecting dog friendly cottages in Northumberland, look for facilities such as secure and enclosed gardens for your pet to play safely, nearby access to dog-friendly walking trails and parks, pet-friendly amenities, and any specific rules or policies regarding pets. Additionally, consider accommodations with easy-to-clean flooring and provisions for dogs' comfort, such as dog beds or bowls.
