Where You'll Be Staying

Should you consider staying in one of our cottages, you'll be able to explore the many offerings provided by Northumberland. 

​

Warkworth:

Warkworth is a quaint village renowned for its housed castle, church & hermitage. The Village is regarded as one of the most picturesque in Northumberland. Encompassed by the river coquet, running through the county of Northumberland, England, discharging into the North Sea on the East coast at Amble, within walking distance.

Warkworth Beach is less than a mile away from historic Warkworth village, between Birling Carrs and Amble Breakwater.  Visitors often miss the beach, but those who make the trip are rewarded with a vast expanse of pristine, golden sand stretching as far as the eye can see.  

Whether you go to sunbathe, play beach games or simply go for a long, bracing walk, there’s always going to be plenty of space.

Amble By The Sea:

The neighbouring town of Amble, less to two miles away from Warkworth by car is the estuary of the River Coquet at the southern gateway to the Northumberland's scenic coast. Home to a harbour filled with fish shacks, seafood eateries, and pastel-painted beach huts, the waterfront town of Amble offers a variety of  enticing places, making it a well-worth trip out during your stay.

​

Bamburgh:

A breathtaking beach, drifting sand dunes, & a majestic castle view everywhere you turn. These are just a few of Bamburgh’s draws. Bamburgh Castle is the king of Castles.  Believed to have been occupied for over 10,000 years the castle has evolved from a wooden palisade to the formidable fortress it is today.  The first castle in England to fall to canon fire as the Wars of Roses drew to a close.

It was also one of the world's first 'coastguard' stations and the site for the development and testing of the World's first 'lifeboat'.  Under the ownership of the Crewe Trustees it housed a school, hospital and was the centre of its own mini 'welfare state'.  Bought by the First Lord Armstrong in 1894 it is still owned by the Armstrong family who play an active part in its operation and maintenance. 

​

Alnwick:

From broomsticks to bookshops, to tree houses & cherry blossoms. The cobbled market town of Alnwick is a must visit. The market town homes many great establishments, from the likes of Barter Books, of which was originally the Victorian Alnwick railway station, designed by William Bell and opened in 1887. The station was in-use until the closure of the Alnwick branch line in 1968; Barter Books was opened in 1991. Barter Books is one of the largest second-hand bookshops in Europe & is considered a local tourist attraction, being described as "the British Library of second-hand bookshops.
