Offering cosy, light and cheerful accommodation for two guests, this snug romantic hideaway lies in the northern corner of the historic Northumberland village of Warkworth. The impressive medieval castle is just half a mile away, with the historic Hermitage just a stroll west along the River Coquet (0.5 miles). Warkworth also has a great choice of pubs and restaurants as well as a fantastic 9-hole golf course along the coast, just north of a beautiful secluded sandy beach (1 mile). Heading inland, the bustling town of Alnwick (4 miles) is home to a stunning castle and the spectacular Alnwick Garden. From the harbour in Amble (1.5 miles) you can join a boat trip to view the seals and puffins of Coquet Island. Other local landmarks and attractions include Howick Hall Gardens and Arboretum, Dunstanburgh Castle and Brinkburn Priory and Manor House, all within 17 miles.


The entrance to the cottage has a high step – please take care when entering or leaving this light and stylishly updated retreat. Inside, the hallway leads into the snug and cosy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The elegantly decorated lounge has a Smart TV and comfortable seating, with alcove shelving and a welcoming bioethanol stove set within a handsome brick surround. Over by the window you will find a charming dining table perfect for romantic meals for two which you can prepare in the fully equipped and thoughtfully organised kitchen which has a handy central breakfast bar. Heading upstairs, the landing leads along to the light-filled bedroom with a lovely double bed and a view towards the castle. The first floor also features a refreshing bathroom and a cheerful dressing room with a dressing table, ample storage space and a trundle daybed with a full-size single mattress, making a quiet space for reading.


The property has no outside space of its own, though there’s a handy bench immediately outside, making a quiet spot for a morning coffee. The river is just a few metres away, offering tranquil walks and the chance to spot wildlife including herons, kingfishers, swans, otters and foxes. Opposite the cottage a secure outhouse can be used for storing bikes and paddleboards. Free unrestricted parking can be found just round the corner and along the river.
