About this property

Located in a quiet part of Warkworth in Northumberland, Riverside Cottage is a delightful, semi-detached stone cottage which is perfect for a family holiday. The accommodation offers everything needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay with a welcoming sitting room complete with a gorgeous woodburning stove, somewhere you can imagine guests gathering to spend time together. Step into the good-sized kitchen/diner and you will find a fully fitted kitchen equipped with everything needed to produce hearty fayre for the whole family and when it's time for dinner, there is an inviting dining table just waiting for guests to pull up a chair and indulge in leisurely meals together. If you can see the sun shining out of the beautiful picture windows, then make your way to opposite the property, where there is a fantastic hidden garden complete with lawns and views over the river, where you can take a seat and soak up the views and the sunshine. When it’s time for bed, there are three well-presented bedrooms; a king-size, a double and a single; all are equally charming and provide a calming place to recharge your batteries. In the morning after a quick dip in the shower, you’ll be refreshed and raring to go and with so much to see and do there isn’t a minute to waste. Known for being home to the dramatic ruins of a 12th century castle, Warkworth is well worth taking a stroll into and the village’s link to the past continues with its selection of antique shops and galleries and it also has a beach and a golf course. Attractions in the area worth visiting include Hadrian’s Wall, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island, the Farne Islands and Alnwick Gardens. Other beaches nearby worth packing a bucket and spade for include Alnmouth, Cresswell, Embleton and Newton Haven. A well-presented holiday cottage with superb views over the river, Riverside Cottage is the ideal destination for an enjoyable break.

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. Warkworth has its own stretch of sandy beach and a 9 hole pay and play golf course. Also within easy touring distance are Hadrian’s Wall, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island, the Farne Islands, several wonderful beaches and Alnwick Garden with its remarkable water cascade and Tree House Restaurant.
