1 / 19The Hide
Rothbury, Northumberland
A distinctive hideaway for two plus a child in the heart of Rothbury, with a wood burner, an orangery style summer house, an enclosed west facing garden and three dogs welcome.
Three dogs are welcome at The Hide, a distinctive, dog friendly hideaway in the heart of Rothbury's charming market town, made for a romantic getaway for two or a couple with a child. Independent shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs are all within walking distance, so the car can stay put while the dogs lead the way into town.
A welcoming hallway leads to the wooden staircase, and the heart of the place is the inviting open plan living space, with a well equipped kitchen and a comfortable lounge area around a cosy wood burner and Smart TV. Two steps up, an orangery style summer house has dining furniture and a breakfast bar overlooking the garden, a lovely spot for breakfast while the dogs watch the garden.
The bright double has open storage, and the charming single, with its high ceiling and sense of space and light, is just right for a child. The contemporary bathroom has a bath with a shower. Outside, the enclosed west facing patio garden catches the afternoon sun and the evening sunsets, with a raised lawn the dogs will enjoy, a chiminea for warmth all year, and a park style bench and bistro set for reading or eating outdoors. The Hide is decorated for Christmas, too.
The River Coquet is lovely for a stroll with the dogs, and the historic Cragside House has beautiful gardens and varied walking routes. The Simonside Hills offer excellent circular walks, Northumberland National Park has endless walking and cycling, and the Northumberland 250 road trip sets out across dark skies, remote hills and spectacular coastline. Alnwick Castle and Gardens are a must, and the sandy coast is a 40 minute drive.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Hide dog friendly?
Yes, and generously so — The Hide welcomes up to three dogs, which is an unusual allowance for a cottage of this size. Dogs enter through the summer house via the garden stairs, and the enclosed west-facing patio garden gives them their own outdoor space to enjoy.
Are dogs allowed at The Hide year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the setup — a chiminea in the garden and a wood burner inside — suggests it's well suited to visits in cooler months too. If you want to confirm availability for specific dates, it's worth checking directly with the host.
What should I know before visiting The Hide with my dog?
The cottage is built upside down, with the living space reached via a wooden staircase, so it's best suited to dogs that are comfortable on stairs. The enclosed garden is a real bonus for keeping dogs secure, and the surrounding area is excellent for walks — Lordenshaws hillfort and the Simonside Hills are both accessible on foot from Rothbury, with open access ground where dogs can roam freely.
