Lodge Cottage Alnmouth is a real stay in Amble, and it is here so you know it exists. But we have not been able to find a dog policy for it that we would stand behind, so we are not going to guess at one. No verdict, no stamp, no date.
If this is your business, tell us whether dogs are welcome and we will put a stamp on it — free, and it stays free. Tell us your dog policy. Want the whole page — photos, prices, your own words? Claim this listing.
If you have been and you know the answer, tell us and we will go and confirm it.
Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.
Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
A two-mile loop from the Braid car park along the harbour front past the marina pontoons and the Harbour Village huts, out to the Little Shore, then back south along the Coquet estuary edge to the open grass of the Braid, where curlew and redshank feed on the mud at low water. Flat tarmac and gravel path throughout, so it suits an old dog. The county dog control PSPO puts no exclusion on the harbour path or the Braid grass, but the estuary is a bird feeding ground and a dog running the tideline will clear it. The enclosed play area at Paddlers Park is dog-free all year under the same order.
A short mile and a bit out and back along the north breakwater from Amble harbour mouth, straight at Coquet Island and its lighthouse a mile offshore, with roseate terns crossing overhead through May and June and grey seals on the water below. Flat concrete deck with a low parapet. The county dog control PSPO carries no restriction here, but this is the least sheltered ground in Amble: the deck takes green water in any northerly blow and the drop to the rocks on the harbour side is unfenced, so a lead is the sensible call from the pier root outwards. Coquet Island itself is an RSPB reserve with no public landing at all.
Five miles in a shade over two hours, out along the shore past Bondi Carrs to Low Hauxley and back through the lakes and woodland of Hauxley nature reserve. Start at the Braid car park by Amble harbour, which is free and large, with the Little Shore and the coast path signposted from its far corner. The beach south of Amble has no seasonal dog restriction and is off-lead, but Northumberland Wildlife Trust asks for dogs on leads on the reserve paths, and Coquet Island’s tern colony means the shoreline birds are best given room in summer.
Nobody has written one for Lodge Cottage Alnmouth. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
