Is Bridge End Cottage dog friendly?

Yes, Bridge End Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. The single-storey layout means no stairs to negotiate at the end of a long day, there's a large enclosed garden for them to roam freely, and an outdoor tap by the door for washing muddy paws before anyone comes inside.

Are dogs allowed at Bridge End Cottage year round?

The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the property details suggests otherwise. That said, it's always worth confirming directly with the owner when you book, particularly if you're visiting in peak season.

What should I know before visiting Bridge End Cottage with my dog?

Up to two dogs are welcome, and the enclosed garden gives them a safe space to stretch out without needing to be on a lead the whole time. The surrounding area is open access ground almost in its entirety, so dogs can be let off the moment you step out of the car — the road from Alwinton follows the River Coquet into some of the emptiest countryside in England. One thing to bear in mind is that phone signal is thin up here, so if you need to stay reachable there is a house phone available.

Bridge End Cottage has a real wow factor, and much of it comes from the glass window wall in the lounge, full of countryside views. All on one level in the peaceful hamlet of Alwinton, this dog friendly cottage keeps its original features, lovingly retained, alongside a brand new wing built for light and space, and it welcomes five guests and two dogs.

You come in through a lobby and boot room, and an outside tap helps clean off the dogs after a day in the hills. In the open plan lounge, comfortable seats face the wood burning stove in its feature fireplace, with good maps for planning outings. The dining area seats four and the kitchen is fully equipped. The master bedroom looks out on garden and countryside from its super king bed, alongside a twin room and a third bedroom for a fifth guest, and the bathroom is reached from the lounge.

Head outside and the large enclosed garden has magnificent views and room for rest or play, for two dogs as much as anyone. Children will love the wooden play house up its short ladder, the patio has an outdoor dining table for supper with the view, and the shed holds garden boules, a croquet set and the bikes. With dogs in mind, the owner notes that the neighbouring property keeps free range chickens.

The Coquet Valley is known to walkers and cyclists, and from Alwinton there is easy access to the Cheviot Hills, Harbottle Woods, the Northumberland National Park and the award winning Dark Skies Park, so the dogs will never want for walks. Alnwick Castle is nearby, and the beaches and seaside villages of Northumberland are less than an hour's drive away.
