Overview
Property code: OC-COQ100

This spectacular home boasts incredible, sweeping views over Warkworth Beach and the Northumberland Coast National Landscape. Contemporary and colourful interiors make this feel like a real home-from-home for a group of six friends or a family. It’s the perfect seaside retreat after long days exploring the area.

Through the hallway, you will find yourself in the pretty kitchen/diner. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with light, and there is a central island as well as a six-seater dining table, so you can socialise, cook, and eat as a group. Upstairs on the first floor, to make the most of the view, is the wonderful lounge. You can curl up for the evening on the sofa and enjoy the superb vistas. The first of the three bedrooms is on the ground floor, a king-size, which has a Smart TV and is adjacent to a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. Back upstairs are the other two bedrooms, a twin and a double, both boasting en-suite shower rooms with WCs. A balcony leads off the lounge, where you can sip on a morning coffee and soak up the vistas. Downstairs, the garden is fully enclosed and has a large lawn area and a patio. Private parking is available for three cars.

Soak up the sun or take a dip at Warkworth Beach (200 metres) before enjoying lunch at one of the eateries in the village and exploring the magnificent Warkworth Castle (1 mile). The historic town of Alnwick (7.5 miles) has further amenities and is renowned for its famous castle, which was used as a Harry Potter filming location. Keen walkers can enjoy long strolls along the Northumberland Coast Path, which passes scenic views.

A really lovely house with a homely feel. Its so quiet and lovely to sit and listen to the birdsong. The situation of the property is very central for visiting up or down the Northumberland coast as well as inland. We certainly recommend this place.

This is a beautiful house, that is very well equipped- including a laundry- and is in a fantastic location. The house was warm and very comfortable and there was plenty of space for us all. Plenty of parking room too and a lovely garden to enjoy. There is a fantastic beach within walking distance as is the town.

We had a wonderful week staying at The Dunes. The house has very thoughtfully designed to make it comfortable for three generations to stay here. Really good quality fitting throughout. It is ideally placed for all the areas of Northumberland we love. Warkworth beach is beautiful and try to go and watch the sunrise there.

We had a fabulous three day break. The Dunes had everything we needed. The views are lovely . Very spacious but still had a cosy feel . The beach is amazing just what you would expect for the Northumberland coast . After a day out exploring it was great to come back and relax in the garden . We were very lucky the weather was sunny and warm and we Read morecould sit out until early evening in the sun.. Sunday lunch we spent in The Warkworth Hotel. It was excellent. Good food and service.

The Dunes is a wonderful house thats incredibly well equipped and in a super location. We had everything we needed (including an EV charger!) and more in the house and loved that we had pubs and restaurants and the beach in walking distance.

What a fantastic house. Beautiful location, perfect garden overlooking the sea. The entire house is finished and maintained to an extremely high standard.

The Dunes is a beautiful home set outside of the town of Warkworth. The home is beautifully equipped with everything you could possibly need during your stay. There's not much to do in Warkworth itself so trips to Amble and Alnwick are a frequent choice. The walk to Warkworth is partially down a non-paved road and a somewhat steep paved section leaRead moreding to the bridge into Warkworth itself. There are other rental properties on the property but we didn't see any of the other residents and there's a small caravan site next door. Due to them allowing dogs to stay the landscaping is already starting to suffer but otherwise the garden is a lovely place to sit. Hide
