For a memorable Northumberland trip, stay at this first-floor apartment in the heart of pretty Warkworth. You’ll have scenic riverbank walks, independent shops, cafes and pubs within 200 metres and the glorious coastline just a mile away. The lively harbour town of Amble is also just 2 miles down the road – perfect for seafood lovers and anyone keen to hop on a puffin-spotting boat trip. This property can accommodate up to two adult guests and one infant, making it ideal for a couple or small family.
Head up into a bright hallway before climbing the stairs to the apartment’s natural-toned interior. The kitchen is a lovely space for prepping meals, complete with a deep ceramic sink and a Nespresso coffee machine for your morning kickstart. In the lounge/diner, where two sets of windows bring in plenty of light, sink into soft seating and switch on the Smart TV for easy evening entertainment. An ornamental fireplace creates a cosy look while a small dining table gives you a snug spot for mealtimes. The main bedroom has a king-size four-poster bed for a luxurious feel, and there’s a second single bedroom offering extra flexibility, complete with storage and a dressing table. The bathroom has a rainfall shower over the bath. Although the apartment has no private outdoor space, you’re only 200 metres from the riverbank where you can enjoy the views. Parking is on-street and subject to availability, although you can unload the car outside the front door.
Warkworth Castle (0.5 miles) is a must, rising dramatically above the village. History fans can venture further afield to Alnwick, Lindisfarne, Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh or Chillingham castles (all within 34 miles). Craving fresh air and wildlife? Druridge Bay (4.5 miles) is ideal for birdwatching, hiking and water sports, while golfers can tee off at Alnmouth (5 miles).
