Please note that Poppy Cottage can only accept check ins on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Poppy Cottage is situated on a working farm at Druridge Bay on the Northumberland Coast. The cottage is neutrally decorated and retains the rustic cottage features such as exposed wood beams, wood burning stove, sandstone flooring downstairs. There are 2 bathrooms, the downstairs one with shower and the upstairs one with bath. The bedrooms sleep 2 in the double room and 2 in the twin room. Enclosed gardens mean the cottage is both family and dog friendly. The farm is at Druridge Bay in Northumberland and the cottage is a short walk onto a sandy bay that is dog friendly. There is a cafe and ice cream parlour within walking distance and 2 pubs that serve food within 2 miles. We are ideally situated for walking or cycling the coastal paths and exploring the Northumberland Castles Coast. Druridge Bay Country Park is a 20 minute bike ride away, mainly off road, and has watersports and cafe facilitites as well as lots of walking and cycling trails. There is a Park Run there on Saturday mornings. Northumberland has many castles such as Bamburgh, Alnwick (Harry Potter), Dunstanburgh and our closest, Warkworth (15 mins away). There are also many historic houses and gardens locally such as Cragside, Belsay, Wallington and Chillingham. For outdoors enthusiasts there are great local swim spots including organised dips in the sea at Cresswell. There are plenty of places to cycle and some great off road routes to the north, directly from the cottage. Watersports and other activities are all available locally. There are lots of golf courses including Longhirst Hall which is friendly and accessible with very reasonable fees. Poppy Cottage is ideal for dogs, we have enclosed gardens and it's a short distance to the beach which is quiet and does not have dog restrictions. Both local puds have dog friendly areas.
