Just giving a shout out to our new connection in Northumberland for doggy day care whilst staying with us at the cottages. You may just need a couple of hours if visiting somewhere that doesn’t except dogs or it maybe longer when attending a wedding in the area. You can find the details on our dog friendly page

This is one of our favourite walks along the Northumberland coastline- England Coastal Path. I started at Dunstan Stead’s towards Dunstanburgh Castle (which you can see from shepherds cottage) and then in Craster. Riva enjoyed seeing the sheep and the swallows !
We continued along the route towards Howick Sands where we came across a lovely little bay and some posing cows 🐄
Making our way back along the route we stopped off The Jolly Fisherman for lunch and back to the campervan for a well deserved rest

Meet the star of our new flags (which we received today) in readiness for the The North East Dog Festival in August

This is Riva who some of you will have met at the cottages. He is a very energetic 2 year old collie who tests out all of our gardens to ensure they are safe for our doggie guests 🐾
