About this property
This lovely cottage is set in the heart of the charming village of Warkworth, one of the gems of the Northumberland coastline. Beautifully-presented, this cottage has been furnished to provide a welcome retreat to return to after a day out exploring. Tucked away behind the main square, the front door leads you into the comfortably furnished open plan living area. With cosy sofas and dining area this is a lovely spot to relax, someone can prepare supper in the well-equipped kitchen whilst the rest of the party keep them entertained. There are two bedrooms, a double and a single both sharing the family bathroom. Once settled into your cottage, why not take a leisurely stroll around the village, the main street is lined with charming shops, eateries, pubs and galleries and towering above it all is the ever present Warkworth Castle, one of England's finest fortresses dating from the late 14th century. Perhaps take a walk to the river and discover the Warkworth Hermitage - a medieval cave housing evidence of a chapel, confessional and dormitory. The coastline is just a twenty minute walk away but can easily be reached by car; here youll find a gorgeous stretch of sandy beach, picnic area and a car park. There's also a challenging 9-hole links course, with magnificent views along the coast and over to Coquet Island, an RSPB Nature Reserve. Discover the pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster, or take in Alnwick Castle and its impressive garden, just a 15 minute drive along unspoilt, scenic roads. This is the perfect base for a relaxing break in Northumberland.
Lying in the loop of the River Coquet on the Heritage Coast, Warkworth is a picturesque village, dominated by the dramatic ruins of its 12th century castle. The history of the village and the castle are intertwined with the Percy Family who took over the castle in 1332. The Percys other home is nearby Alnwick Castle, most recently associated with Harry Potter as the film location of Hogwarts School. The main street is lined with Georgian and early Victorian houses and there is an exceptional range of galleries, antiques shops, a village shop/Post Office, pubs, restaurants and gift shops to suit all tastes.

It is well equipped and ideally located in the centre of Warkworth with pubs, restaurants, cafes and the beach within easy walk, not to mention Warkworth Castle at the top of the hill. Free parking is available close by.

Cycles can be left securely in the private back garden with Warkworth providing a great base camp for cycling the national cycle network route 1, much of which is off road by the coast, or on quiet country lanes. This stylish cottage, in the heart of the village by the church and a few steps from the river, is very well equipped and comfortable to live in. The owners are welcoming and go the extra mile to provide all home comforts and welcome treats to help you settle in. Thank you for a lovely stay.
