This beautifully refreshed period cottage makes a snug, stylish bolthole in Warkworth’s conservation area – perfect for a couple, a small family and their waggy-tailed wanderer. Just a few steps from the River Coquet, you’ll be well placed for strolls along the banks, browsing the village’s independent shops, and relaxing over coffee or supper in one of its dog-friendly pubs and cafes.
Inside, the cottage blends Victorian character with modern comfort. Follow the pretty garden path and archways to your front door, then enter a wonderfully cosy lounge. Here, an inglenook fireplace houses a glowing wood burner that Rover is sure to adore. Shelves of books, inviting sofas, a Smart TV, and a Bluetooth speaker make it a place to unwind at any time of day. Wander through to the small sunroom to enjoy quiet moments together while your four-pawed friend dozes beside you. The elegant kitchen/diner comes with high-quality appliances and plenty of worktop area to prepare hearty breakfasts or evening dinners. Gather around the round dining table for slow holiday meals and planning the next day’s walks. A handy cloakroom completes the ground floor. Follow the cottage’s winding staircase to the first floor, where two bright bedrooms await. Each has lovely views of Warkworth Castle and offers a restful retreat after long rambles. The king-size room has space for a cot, while the twin room features soft double duvets. The family bathroom is beautifully finished, with a shower over the bath for a rejuvenating soak at the end of the day. Outside, there’s a patio garden for al fresco drinks while your canine companion has a sniff in the sunshine. The small front garden has a bistro set in a peaceful spot to sit with your morning tea. On-street parking is available approximately 30 metres away (subject to availability).
Take a gentle walk up to the dramatic castle, perched proudly over the village, or wander down to Warkworth Beach (1 mile), where sandy paws are welcome all year round. The friendly harbour town of Amble is under 2 miles away, and magnificent Alnwick Castle is 7.5 miles away, where the gardens welcome canine companions during special dog days.
