  • A delightful romantic getaway for two, close to the banks of the River Coquet
  • Offering a beautiful view across Warkworth and towards the medieval castle
  • Featuring a useful dressing room and a bioethanol stove in a sweet inglenook
Property code: OC-COQ129

Full of luxurious touches, this inviting couple’s escape is perfect for a romantic break in delightful Warkworth. Riverside walks, the village’s historic castle, golf, pubs and a sandy beach are all within easy reach, and when you return home you can relax by the fire or watch the world go by from the bench outside.

Step into this beautifully renovated retreat (going carefully over the high doorstep) and enter the cosy, open-plan living space. The heart of this room is a large inglenook with a bio-ethanol fire, adding glowing warmth on winter evenings. A dining table for two sits by the deep-set window, while the carefully planned kitchen includes a breakfast bar as well as an oven, induction hob and microwave. After a hearty supper, you can snuggle up in the soft seating and enjoy a favourite film on the Smart TV, or head up the stairs to the dressing room, where the day bed makes an inviting base for curling up with a book and a view of the castle. The tranquil double bedroom also has castle views, plus a window seat where you could perch with a cup of tea. An elegant bathroom completes this stylish interior. A bench outside provides a peaceful place for sitting in the sunshine, and there’s a secure outhouse opposite for storing bikes and outdoor gear. Unrestricted free parking is available just around the corner.

Head out for scenic walks along the river, just a few steps away – you may spot swans, herons, kingfishers and even otters. Stroll through the village and choose from its variety of places to eat and drink, explore the medieval castle, play a round of golf or head to the beach, just 1 mile away, for fine views, games or a bracing walk.

The cottage is situated in a lovely spot close to the River Coquete and the village of Warkworth, clearly the owners of the cottage have spent a great deal of time and money on the standard of decoration and furnishings in the cottage. It was very pleasant to relax back at the cottage after a good walk on the beautiful Warkworth beach, or evening aRead moret one of the hostelries in the village. The overall condition of the cottage is very good. Hide

Really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. Being so close to the river meant that could sit on a bench overlooking the river (I loved Ronnie and Joan's bench best) for morning coffee in the sunshine. Having the little bench outside the house itself was great. Also really enjoyed on a windy day curling up on the day bed with the view overlookinRead moreg the castle with a book. We really appreciated the little extra touches that made it fell homely like the welcome basket and coffee machine. I really liked the fact that there were plenty of spare cloths, binbags, refills for soap etc. and spare towels, mats etc. tucked away- whilst it seems a small thing again it made it feel more comfortable and as if you were at home and able to keep it looking lovely during the stay. Location was lovely- having the village, river and beach all so close is something quite unique and a range of other locations in really easy reach as well. Hide
