1 / 13Christon House
Christon Bank, Northumberland
A refurbished four bedroom house for eight at Christon Bank, with a wood burner, a seven seater hot tub and a large enclosed garden, three dogs welcome, near Embleton Bay.
Christon House is a spacious dog friendly holiday home at Christon Bank, made for multi generation families and friends, sleeping eight with three dogs. The dogs get an outside tap for rinsing off sand and a large enclosed garden whose lawn is there for children and dogs to run around on.
A wide hallway takes coats, outdoor shoes and walking boots. The bright, airy lounge has plenty of comfortable seating to sink into with a drink by the wood burner, a Smart TV, and large bi fold doors looking onto the garden, and at the front the open plan kitchen diner is finished in granite, with bar stools at the island and a large table that seats eight. The utility room, with a door out to the side of the house and the garden, is handy when three sandy dogs come back from the beach.
The ground floor also holds a twin room and a king size, along with a contemporary family bathroom offering both a freestanding bath and a large walk in shower. On the first floor, a super king with dual aspect windows and another king size both have garden views, and a shower room completes the house. Later, the seven seater hot tub comes into its own, while a children's play area busies the youngest and the dogs patrol the lawn.
A dog friendly pub and restaurant is within walking distance in the village, and the glorious beaches at Embleton Bay and Low Newton by the Sea are less than 3 miles away. The scenic coastal path runs north to Beadnell Bay and south to Dunstanburgh Castle's amazing ruins and Craster's pretty harbour, and Alnwick, 9 miles off, has its castle, gardens and shops.

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.
