The Northumberland Coast
From Seahouses, Bamburgh, Amble, Blyth and Beal, you'll be perfectly placed to experience the stunning Northumberland coast. Enjoy easy access to miles of dog-friendly coastline. Let your pup run free on the wide, off-lead beaches at Bamburgh, Alnmouth and Druridge Bay, where there are no seasonal restrictions, or stretch your legs along the scenic Northumberland Coast Path.
Looking for something a little different? Dogs are welcome on many Farne Islands sightseeing sailings, making it easy to soak up the spectacular coastal scenery together. If you're visiting Holy Island from Beal, be sure to check the causeway tide times before setting off. However you choose to explore, the Northumberland coast is packed with unforgettable experiences for you and your dog.
Northumberland Countryside
Northumberland Countryside
If you're looking to explore beyond the beaten path, Northumberland's countryside is full of breathtaking landscapes, historic sites and dog-friendly adventures. The Hog's Head Inn in Alnwick is the ideal base for discovering market town charm, with Alnwick Castle, Alnwick Garden's popular Dog Days events and plenty of dog-friendly cafés and shops nearby.
Venture further into Hadrian's Wall country to explore one of Britain's most iconic landscapes, wander the walking trails of the Cheviot Hills, or spend the day in Kielder Forest and England's largest Dark Sky Park. While pet dogs aren't permitted inside Kielder Observatory, they're welcome to join you on the beautiful Lakeside Way, making it a fantastic destination for scenic walks before settling in to admire Northumberland's famous dark skies.

-
Is there a charge for bringing my dog?
If you book direct with The Inn Collection Group, dogs can be added for £15 for 2 dogs per night - another perk of booking directly with us.

Sign up to our mailing list here or download our app here to be the first to hear about our latest offers and tail-wagging treats. -

We welcome dogs across our Northumberland inns. If you're planning to travel with another type of pet, please contact our reservations team before booking and we'll be happy to discuss your requirements. To contact a member of our team, please call 0191 580 3610. -
Do I need to let the team know I am bringing a dog to stay overnight?
Yes, when making your reservation please make our team aware you are bringing a dog so we can make sure you are allocated to a pet-friendly room. Please let us know by adding a pet in the 'extras' section of the online booking platform, or through our central reservations team on 0191 580 3610. -
Are all your Northumberland inns dog-friendly pubs with rooms?
They certainly are. Each of our inns offers comfortable dog-friendly pubs with rooms, giving you somewhere to eat, drink, relax and stay together after a day exploring Northumberland. With cosy accommodation, welcoming bars and even a doggy menu, we've got everything you need for a memorable getaway with your four-legged companion. -
Are dogs allowed at Alnwick Castle and The Alnwick Garden?
Dogs aren't permitted inside Alnwick Castle, with the exception of assistance dogs. If visiting with your four-legged friend, you can still get excellent views of the historic castle from the nearby walks circling the perimeter. At The Alnwick Garden, dogs are welcome during the popular Dog Days events on Thursdays and Sundays, and they're welcome every day in The Bakery, making it a great stop during your visit. -
Are dogs allowed on Bamburgh Beach all year round?
Yes! Bamburgh Beach welcomes dogs all year round, with no seasonal restrictions, so they're free to enjoy the sand and sea off lead. This makes it the perfect location to discover with your dog, especially when you can relax at The Bamburgh Castle Inn after a day of adventure! -
Can I walk Hadrian's Wall with my dog?
Absolutely. Dogs are welcome along the Hadrian's Wall National Trail, although they should be kept on a lead where livestock are present. Following the National Trust's Canine Code for Hadrian's Wall helps protect wildlife, farm animals and fellow walkers, ensuring everyone can enjoy this iconic landscape. -
Can my dog come on a Farne Islands boat trip?
Yes – many boat operators, including Billy Shiel's and Serenity, welcome dogs on their sightseeing sail-around trips to Farne Islands and Holy Island cruises. However, dogs can't land on Inner Farne or Staple Island because the National Trust protects the internationally important seabird colonies that nest there. If you're looking to visit these islands as part of your trip, one of your party may have to stay on the boat of shore with your four-legged friend. -
What should I bring for my dog's stay?
To help your dog feel right at home, we recommend packing their lead, favourite bed or blanket, toys, food (if you prefer to bring your own), and any medication they may need during your stay. With a few of their favourite things packed, your four-legged friend will have everything they need to feel comfortable, relaxed and right at home at our dog-friendly inns. -
