1 / 13Christon House
Christon Bank, Northumberland
A refurbished house for eight at Christon Bank with two ground floor bedrooms, a large enclosed lawn, a play area and a seven seater hot tub, three dogs welcome.
Three dogs come in through the utility door off the garden, and a tap on the wall beside it gets the sand back off them, which describes this house better than a floor plan could. Christon House sleeps eight at Christon Bank and the ground it opens onto is large, lawned and enclosed. Three dogs on one booking is what dog friendly means here.
The hallway takes coats, boots and whatever the dogs have collected. The lounge has bi-fold doors onto that lawn and a wood burner for the evenings they stay shut; the kitchen and diner at the front carries granite, an island with stools and a table seating eight. Two of the bedrooms sit on the ground floor, a twin and a king, with the family bathroom beside them holding a freestanding bath and a large walk-in shower. The super king and the last king are above.
Eight people and three dogs is a specific booking and few houses on this coast will take it. Two bedrooms downstairs and two up lets the party divide by generation or by bedtime. The garden has a play area at one end and a hot tub seating seven at the other, so the children, the adults and the dogs each finish the day somewhere that belongs to them.
Craster lies 3 miles south, a harbour cut into rock with a smokehouse still working above it that has been curing kippers over oak for more than a century. The coast path goes north out of the village along the cliff top at Cullernose Point, where fulmars nest on the ledges and the sea is straight below. Dogs walk the whole of it and the going stays level nearly all the way.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Christon House dog friendly?
Yes, Christon House welcomes up to three dogs per booking, which makes it genuinely well-suited to larger groups travelling with multiple pets. The house has a utility door from the garden with an outdoor tap right beside it for rinsing off sandy or muddy dogs before they come inside — a practical touch that says a lot about how the place is set up.
Are dogs allowed at Christon House year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, so we'd recommend getting in touch with the host directly to confirm availability for your dates. What is clear is that the setup — enclosed lawn, outdoor dog wash, ground floor access — is designed for dogs as a matter of course, not an afterthought.
What should I know before visiting Christon House with my dog?
The garden is large, lawned and enclosed, so dogs have space to stretch out safely without you needing to watch the gate constantly. There's an outdoor tap by the utility door for washing dogs down after a beach or coastal walk, which matters given that Craster and the cliff path at Cullernose Point are just 3 miles south — both of which are fully walkable with dogs.
