Set in the heart of Warkworth village on a peaceful, no-through lane, this three-storey retreat is the ideal base for couples, families and their four-pawed pals to enjoy the very best of the Northumberland coast. With a selection of friendly shops and eateries close by – including a dog-friendly pub/restaurant 200 metres from the front door – you’re well-placed for relaxed village living.
Inside, the hallway welcomes you with polished wooden flooring. The light-filled lounge is a lovely spot to unwind, complete with a classic bay window, ornamental fireplace, cosy seating, Smart TV and shelves of books. Play music through the Teac Hi-Fi, or keep younger guests entertained with the toys and games stashed in the hall. The spacious kitchen/diner is fully equipped for easy holiday cooking, and the dining table seats six comfortably. Glazed doors lead straight out to the courtyard, creating a lovely indoor-outdoor flow. A ground-floor cloakroom makes things practical, and the layout is wheelchair-accessible. On the first floor, you'll find a king-size bedroom and a twin room, each with pocket-sprung mattresses and luxury linens for restful sleep. The king-size room has a Smart TV for lazy lie-ins. A stylish family bathroom serves this floor. The top floor hosts a spacious king-size bedroom with a leather bed, TV and a private en-suite shower room boasting a view of the castle from the skylight. Outside, the fully enclosed, L-shaped courtyard garden provides a safe space for your canine chum to potter, while you savour al fresco meals in the sunshine. You’ll have one marked private parking place, with room for a second car in front of the house, plus additional parking on the riverbank.
The gently winding riverside walk to the long sandy beach is only 1 mile, perfect for happy tail-wagging strolls and sandy paws. Just under 2 miles brings you to Amble, a bustling harbour town known for fresh seafood and famous ice cream. From here, you can even hop on a boat trip to see the puffins of Coquet Island bobbing about offshore. For further adventure, the glorious coastline stretches in both directions in a region made for walkers, wanderers and furry companions eager to sniff new scents on every breeze.
