1 / 21Plumtree
Longhoughton, Northumberland
A stone built, single storey cottage for a couple at Longhoughton, with a vaulted, beamed living space, an electric AGA and a large enclosed garden, two dogs welcome, 1.5 miles from Sugar Sands.
Plumtree is a stone built cottage in the village of Longhoughton, a spacious and characterful dog friendly escape for a couple and two dogs, with lovely walks from the doorstep and the quiet, unspoiled beach at Sugar Sands 1.5 miles away.
Everything is on one level. Through the glazed front door, the open plan living space is bright and airy under a vaulted ceiling, with exposed beams, stone feature walls and arched windows giving it real character. Coats and walking boots are hung up, the dogs settle in, and the evening belongs to comfortable seats and the Smart TV. The contemporary kitchen has an electric AGA, and supper moves from the dining table out into the pretty garden whenever the glazed door is opened.
That garden is large and enclosed, with furniture for dining outdoors and a sheltered corner seating area for watching the sunset and gazing at the dark skies, two dogs curled up nearby with the day's walking behind them. The bedroom is generous, with a super king bed and an adjoining dressing area offering plenty of storage, and the en suite has a shower over the bath.
Longhoughton has a couple of great cafes and a pub down the road. Sugar Sands has hidden coves and miles of golden sand for a stroll and a picnic with the dogs, Alnwick Castle and The Alnwick Garden are 4 miles off, and Howick Hall Gardens and Arboretum, Craster and its seafood, and the coast path to Dunstanburgh Castle are all close at hand.

Is Plumtree dog friendly?
Plumtree is genuinely built around dogs — two of them, specifically. The enclosed garden, single-storey layout and electric AGA that keeps the kitchen end warm are all things a couple travelling with two dogs will appreciate quickly, and the nearby beaches at Longhoughton Steel, Sugar Sands and Rumbling Kern are open to dogs throughout.
Are dogs allowed at Plumtree year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the cottage's setup — an AGA for warmth, an enclosed garden and easy access to quiet beaches — suits a visit in any season. For confirmation of availability at specific times of year, it's worth checking directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting Plumtree with my dog?
The cottage takes two dogs and the enclosed garden gives them somewhere to roam freely, with a glazed door opening straight out from the living room. One practical note: the bathroom doorway is 179cm high, which is worth bearing in mind if you're planning to carry a dog through it. Beyond the cottage, the surrounding coastline is quiet and largely to yourselves — Longhoughton Steel is at the end of the village, with Sugar Sands and Rumbling Kern reachable on foot to the south.
