Close to surfing, kayaking, and more, this pet-friendly cottage brings it all within reach. Thanks to the convenient uncovered onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 13-minute walk to Northumberland Coast, or easily tackle the quick 5-minute drive to Bamburgh Castle.

After you return, unwind in the hot tub or sip a drink in the garden, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, digital TV, and Netflix.

As you settle into this 4-bedroom rental, you'll find premium bedding and a fireplace. For your convenience, there's an electric kettle, a microwave, and paper towels. And there's a washing machine, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
