Is Coquet House dog friendly?

Yes, and generously so — Coquet House welcomes up to three dogs, which is unusual for a property of this size. The enclosed garden has a gate that opens directly onto the beach, so your dogs can be out on the sand within seconds of arriving.

Are dogs allowed at Coquet House year round?

Dogs have access to Druridge Bay beach all year round, with seven miles of unbroken sand to explore right from the garden gate. The inland tracks behind the dunes, which run through a chain of nature reserves on former opencast land, are available outside the nesting season.

What should I know before visiting Coquet House with my dog?

The ground floor is set up thoughtfully for dogs, with a utility room and shower room downstairs so nothing wet needs to go upstairs. Three dogs are permitted in total, which works well for two households each bringing a dog, and the garden is enclosed so you don't need to worry about escapes before that first morning coffee.

Coquet House stands directly next to the long sandy beach at Cresswell, and a gate from its garden leads straight onto the sand. Set over three floors on the Northumberland coast, this dog friendly house sleeps eight with three dogs, and the beach walks start from the house.

Inside, the bright and airy lounge gathers its comfortable seating around a cosy wood burner, where three sandy dogs settle after a morning on the beach. A door leads into the open plan kitchen and diner, with bar stools at the island, a generous table for sociable dinners, and bi-folding doors that open out to the patio and the stone steps up to the garden.

Upstairs, two of the first floor rooms look out to sea and the front king-size room has a view of the Pele Tower. The top floor king sits in the eaves with a wow-factor window and a covered balcony with two reclining seats, the place for a morning coffee while the sun rises over the water. Up the stone steps outside, the enclosed garden has plenty of furniture, a BBQ and a summer house with seating, and it overlooks the wide beach where children and dogs play on the sand.

Cresswell is a quiet seaside village, with a beach café 0.3 miles away for lunch, an ice cream parlour, and the ancient Pele tower on its open days. Cresswell Nature Reserve is nearby for bird watching, and dolphins are sometimes seen offshore while the dogs work the tideline. Druridge Bay Country Park has a circular walk around the lake and woodland, and Amble's port has boat trips to the bird sanctuary on Coquet Island.
