1 / 18Fisherman's Cottage
Boulmer, Northumberland
A beach front cottage in the fishing village of Boulmer for four, with sea views from the lounge and two enclosed gardens, three dogs welcome and the beach just across the way.
Fisherman's Cottage is a beautifully presented beach front cottage in Boulmer, a real fishing village, and a dog friendly getaway for four with room for three dogs. The beach is just across from the cottage, so every morning's walk can begin on the sand beside the dunes, with a picnic for later if the mood takes you.
Inside, the lounge and diner has beautiful sea views, with two large, comfortable settees arranged around a cosy coal effect electric fire, and once the beach is done with, that fire is where the dogs head. The table seats four, and the well equipped kitchen leading off it suits lazy breakfasts and evening meals alike. The double bedroom, which leads off the lounge, shares the sea views, while the twin has a lovely garden view, with a shower room to finish.
Outside there are two enclosed gardens, a large side garden and a second with lovely sea views of its own, and both have outdoor dining furniture. Three dogs can potter about while lunch is laid out, and in the evening there is the happy choice of which garden to eat in. From the beach you can watch the local fishermen putting out their lobster and crab pots, and admire the blue fishing boats known as cobles that still bring in the daily catch.
Boulmer has its village pub and a quirky art gallery, and it sits on the 200 mile Coast and Castle Cycle Route for anyone who brings bikes. Alnmouth, with its beach, village shops and golf course, is a short drive, and Craster, known for its coastal path to Dunstanburgh Castle, is a little further afield and a scenic walk to share with the dogs.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Fisherman's Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, and genuinely so — Fisherman's Cottage welcomes up to three dogs, which is unusual for a cottage sleeping four. There are two enclosed gardens, a larger one to the side and a smaller one at the front, so your dogs have safe outdoor space without you needing to think too hard about it.
Are dogs allowed at Fisherman's Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. What we can say is that the cottage is set up with dogs firmly in mind, with enclosed gardens and an easy layout that three dogs move through comfortably.
What should I know before visiting Fisherman's Cottage with my dog?
The cottage sits directly across the road from the shingle at Boulmer, so the sea is right there from the moment you arrive. Alnmouth is 2 miles south along the coast path and dogs are welcome the full length of it, with dunes, beach, and an estuary that fills with birds at low tide — plenty to keep an active dog happy.
