Overlooking the centre of lovely Warkworth village, this first-floor holiday escape is ideal for one or two couples or a small family, and is pet friendly. You’ll find pubs, shops, cafes and restaurants within metres of the front door, and you can explore the majestic, ruined castle or stroll 1 mile to the long, sandy beach – perfect for exhilarating walks in the fresh Northumberland air. From Amble, less than 2 miles away, you can take a boat trip to see puffins and other wildlife, while Alnwick Castle is just 7.5 miles away. Alnmouth (5 miles), has a golf club, more beaches, arty shops and friendly pubs. Try some water sports or go for a bike ride at Duridge Bay Country Park (4.5 miles), or venture further afield and visit quaint coastal villages, including Beadnell, Embleton, Craster, Seahouses and Bamburgh, all within 25 miles.
Find your front door within the pretty courtyard of four other apartments, and head straight up the wide staircase, elegantly decorated with interesting artworks and an oak handrail. Inside the main apartment there’s an entrance lobby, with room for coats and footwear, from which you’ll step into the beautiful, open-plan living space. This stunning room has been thoughtfully decorated with exceptional flair and a focus on luxury and comfort, and includes a pair of sofas, a Smart TV and a built-in, modern, flame-effect electric fire. Gorgeous light fittings and shelves with ornaments add to the home-from-home feel, and there’s a selection of board games for you to enjoy. The handsome kitchen, with white quartz worktops, provides everything the chef of the holiday could want. Dine either at the breakfast bar with its two comfortable stools or at the dining table where there’s room for four, enjoying the view down the lane towards the river. Along the hall, the two bedrooms are just as impressive as the rest of the apartment, both including luxury bed linen, a hanging rail and dressing table. The super-king-size room features a bijou en-suite shower room, and boasts views of the centre of Warkworth. A family bathroom, with a rainfall shower over a full-size bath and plenty of storage, completes this stylish interior.
While there is no dedicated outside space for this high-quality cottage, the river is less than 100 metres away, a tranquil spot for relaxing with a morning coffee or a sundowner. When arriving, you can drive down the lane to unload, then park on the riverbank or in the village square. All parking in Warkworth is free.
