A magnificent period house on the fringes of Warkworth, this detached stone residence is ideal for a group escape to Northumberland. Sleeping 12 guests, the six-bedroom, pet-friendly property is less than 1 mile from the picturesque sandy beach, where you can picnic, paddle and potter in rockpools. 

Keen walkers can also lace up their walking boots and head out along the Northumberland Coast Path from here. Stroll 1 mile from the house to experience the grandeur of the baronial fortress-palace of Warkworth Castle or head the same distance to play golf at the club, which has spectacular views of the coastline. Venture 2.5 miles to spend time in charming Amble, with its shops, eateries and fascinating harbour village, where you can shop for local produce. Book seats on a boat trip to spot puffins, seals and other wildlife from here too.
