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 🐾

Our cottages offer the perfect outdoor space for both our human guests and our four legged friends. Plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors, whilst being secure for the pooches 🐾

🥰🥰The Best🥰🥰

Yet another wonderful stay at our favourite holiday home. It has everything you could possibly need. The kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of cutlery crockery & utensils. The oven is huge if you intend to cook for a large group.
We love the space,plenty of comfortable sitting areas to watch both sunrise & sunset. The bedrooms are very comfortable & having 3 bathrooms is a real plus.

The location is excellent our grandsons love the accessibility of the beach to fly kites & do watersports but also rockpooling all within 2 minutes walk.

Must also mention the owners, a wonderful family extremely friendly & helpful nothing is too much trouble. We also loved the new welcome pack. To sum up we will be back.

Thank you to our wonderful returning guests x

Breeds, Bants & Brains is back and we are asking the question....how well do you know your breed?

Last year we completely revamped our breed hang out with the help of The Dog Log and the feedback was brilliant and it's back for 2026!

This interactive area will celebrate the incredible diversity, personalities and behaviours that make our dogs who they are.

Whether you already own a breed you adore, are thinking about welcoming a new dog into your life, or simply love learning more about what comes naturally to a specific dog breed, this is the perfect place to ask questions.

What breed will you be bringing?

The last 3 weeks at the cottages have seen 8 lots of returners and it's lovely to see everyone again, some even staying again later in the year. We have had numerous birthday celebrations including two 60th Birthdays - spread out across the properties.

1 group pictured below had the cottage and the lodge whilst my cousin and the family stayed in all of the properties including the huts - we even had the pleasure of going to the party - which was fancy dress and it was so fun! - No photos of that yet 😅

It really is a great place to celebrate with family and friends. We now have the group booking page which makes it much easier to book all the properties - we are quite booked up this year but have availability across all the properties in November, December and into the New Year.
