Owner knew we had a dog but no fenced in safe dog area. No help to clear sudden snow, believe the owner stays very near and should have helped to clear the ice rink outside the door. Will definitely be back to Alnmouth but to a single level with dog area property

We had fabulous weather this year which made the break even better. The whole area is stunning and so much less busy than Cornwall. The fact that dogs are welcome pretty much everywhere was also a huge bonus

The house was well equipped and the decor was good. We found the beds comfortable, the house was cosy and warm. We didnât take our dogs as planned because of lack of garden but that was our choice.
