With an enviable location directly opposite Warkworth Castle, this characterful stone cottage offers a delightful couple’s hideaway on the Northumberland Heritage Coast. With village amenities all around and beach rambles just a mile away, it offers a practical location with picture-perfect views. To the south, the waterfront town of Amble (1.5 miles) tempts with seafood shacks and pastel-painted beach huts. Head north to immerse yourself in the world of Harry Potter at Alnwick Castle, dine in a treetop restaurant and discover an intriguing poison garden inside Alnwick Gardens.
Inside, this atmospheric property has been thoughtfully equipped for easy self-catering while respecting its original charm and character. A small porch welcomes you inside and leads to a homely lounge where a beamed ceiling and open fire in an ornate fireplace blend with period furniture for a homely vibe. The window frames views of Warkworth Castle, and there’s a table for two in the corner for romantic dinners. A door leads into a practical kitchen with all the necessary appliances, and a small hall leading to the bathroom with a rainfall shower, bath, and luxury toiletries. When night falls, return to the entrance hall to find a door leading to a boutique-style bedroom with a king-size bed adorned in plush bedding and a window overlooking the castle.
While there’s no dedicated outdoor space with this property, a convenient bench by the front door invites you to sip a morning cuppa in the shadow of the castle. Parking is on-street and subject to availability, with additional free parking within 50 metres.
