Dog-friendly cottages in Northumberland
Epic beaches, rolling hills and wagging tails galore
This wild and wonderful county is one of the most dog-friendly spots in the UK. With miles of sandy coastline, vast countryside and more castles than anywhere else in England, there’s plenty for you and your four-legged friend to explore in Northumberland.
From seafront cottages in Seahouses to cosy hideaways in the Cheviot Hills, our dog-friendly holiday homes in Northumberland make it easy to enjoy a relaxing and adventure-filled escape together. Many have enclosed gardens, log burners and even doggy welcome packs, so everyone’s tail stays wagging.
Why choose a dog-friendly holiday in Northumberland?
Northumberland offers big skies, wide open spaces and next to no crowds, which makes it heaven for dogs and their humans. You can roam the beaches off-lead, hike through ancient woodland, or wander around historic villages and ruins.
Dogs are welcome at loads of local pubs, tearooms and attractions – and the slow pace of life means there’s time for proper exploring (and plenty of sniffing). Whether you're heading to the coast, countryside or national park, this is a place where dogs are part of the adventure.
Best dog-friendly walks in Northumberland
This is proper walking country. Here are some favourite routes for wag-worthy wanderings:
- Hadrian’s Wall Path – follow in Roman footsteps on this iconic trail. Pick a scenic stretch that suits your pace and enjoy views, wildlife and wide-open landscapes.
- Cragside Estate – explore miles of trails through gardens, woodland and lakes. Dogs are welcome on-lead across the grounds.
- Simonside Hills – these pine-fringed hills above Rothbury offer breathtaking views and peaceful trails for off-lead exploring.
- Kielder Forest and Water – one of the most remote spots in England, this huge forest park is packed with dog-friendly trails and picnic spots.
- The Cheviot Hills – perfect for longer hikes and proper leg-stretchers. Keep dogs on a lead near livestock, but there’s plenty of freedom too.
Best dog-friendly beaches in Northumberland
If your pup loves a sandy dash or paddle, these beaches are absolute standouts:
- Bamburgh Beach – vast, clean and dog-friendly all year round. Plus, Bamburgh Castle makes the perfect backdrop for your walk.

- Alnmouth Beach – a lovely stretch of sand that’s great for dogs to run free. The nearby village is very welcoming too.
- Beadnell Bay – dogs are welcome year-round, but they need to be kept on a lead in summer during bird breeding season.

- 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.
