This reverse level barn conversion is ideally located to explore the glorious Northumberland coast and countryside with all it has to offer with something for everyone.

Spectacularly set just across the road from the sea at Budle Bay, this spacious cottage in the quiet hamlet of Waren Mill will give you a new leash of life. It’s in an ideal spot for exploring the Northumberland coast, and windswept walks here will re-energise both you and your four-legged friend. Outdoor-loving couples and families can fill their lungs with fresh sea air on miles of wide sandy beaches that welcome canine visitors throughout the year.

Styled with a coastal theme, this reverse-level property is designed with the bedrooms and bathroom on the ground floor, while the open-plan living area is on the first floor. It’s full of character, with original wooden beams and a high ceiling, plus a collection of books, board games and jigsaws to keep you entertained if you’re staying indoors. The lounge is a comfortable space to sit and relax while watching the Smart TV or listening to music through the Bluetooth speaker with your dog curled up at your feet. The kitchen has recipe books to inspire a culinary creation which, on a warm day, can be enjoyed outside in the shared courtyard.

Lead the way on one of the most spectacular coastal walks in the country, from Waren Mill to Bamburgh (2.5 miles), home to a beautiful beach overlooked by the village’s famous castle. Scamper among the sand dunes and chase balls into the invigorating North Sea. Take a trip across the tidal causeway from Beal (9 miles) to Holy Island or visit the fishing village of Seahouses (6 miles) for a scenic walk along the harbour before tucking into fish and chips. Heading inland, the Cheviot Hills offer curious canines different terrain to try, and the easy walk around Yeavering Bell (17 miles) is ideal for families, with great views to boot.

Excellent location with Bamburgh only 10 minutes drive and Seahouses a 15 minutes drive from the cottage. Easy access to the A1 allowing for easy travel to other locations. The cottage is nicely laid out with plenty of comfortable seating. There is off road parking at the rear of the cottage. One thing to be aware of is the central heating is by OiRead morel, this can leave a slight smell of Oil in the downstairs hallway. Hide

Lovely clean and comfortable cottage fully equipped with everything we needed and a comprehensive information folder. There are lovely walks from the cottage as it is on the England Coastal Path and also a regular bus route between Berwick and Alnwick.

Perfect location for a quiet holiday. Car needed for access to shops, eateries, etc., we found nothing in the immediate vicinity. With a car, the location is fantastic for access to numerous attractions in the area.

The property is excellent for two to four people. The location is great for local walks and birdwatching in Budle Bay as well as along the coast North, South and inland.

In a good location close to Bamburgh and within walking distance of a bay and beach but the road you walked on was busy with no path in some places. The rooms were warm and beds were comfortable. Plenty of bedding & towels. We had a lovely week in the cottage with friends joining us for a couple of nights - there was plenty of room for us all.

Great little property. Rustic and we'll equipped. The shower is quite underpowered and a bit lackluster, it also (at time of writing) leaks onto the bathroom floor. Which makes an exciting slip and slide on the tiled floor. But a nice comfy bed and a spacious lounge area are great features.
