Set just on the edge of Warkworth, this impressive stone-built period house is the perfect base for a group getaway with plenty of room for families, friends and their beloved furry adventurers. With six beautifully appointed bedrooms and space for up to 12 guests (plus your tail-wagging travellers), this pet-friendly hideaway sits less than a mile from a wide sandy beach, where hounds can race the waves, sniff new scents along the shoreline and enjoy a good splash.
Step inside the grand entrance hall, where stained glass and soaring ceilings set the scene for a truly memorable stay. The elegant lounge, flooded with natural light from tall windows, is ideal for sociable evenings. The cosy snug offers a quiet corner for curling up with a book or for your four-pawed pal to nap contentedly by your feet. At the heart of the home lies the gorgeous kitchen/diner, complete with exposed stone walls, breakfast bar and generous dining area. Throw open the doors to the courtyard patio on sunny days, or head to the dining room to share celebratory meals in style. A utility room and cloakroom help keep sandy paws and muddy boots under control. Upstairs, the bedrooms are all beautifully furnished with high-quality linens and thoughtful finishing touches. They include: A super-king-size room with en-suite shower room, three king-size rooms (two of which feature their own en-suites) and two twin rooms (one can be arranged as a super-king-size on request), one with its own en-suite. A sleek family bathroom rounds off the first floor. Outside, the spacious garden (not fully enclosed) is a wonderful place for family time – play games on the lawn, share al fresco meals in the courtyard, or fire up the BBQ. There’s space for up to eight cars, making group gatherings a breeze.
Dog walkers will be in their element here. Join the Northumberland Coast Path straight from the village and take in sweeping sea views and endless fresh air. Wander 1 mile to explore magnificent Warkworth Castle (dogs on the lead), rising proudly above the river. A 2.5-mile trip brings you to the harbour town of Amble for seafood lunches and browsing quirky little shops with plenty for curious noses to investigate at every turn.
