Lying in the loop of the River Coquet on the Heritage Coast, Warkworth is a picturesque village, dominated by the dramatic ruins of its 12th century castle. The history of the village and the castle are intertwined with the Percy Family who took over the castle in 1332. The Percys’ ‘other home’ is nearby Alnwick Castle most recently associated with Harry Potter as the film location of “Hogwarts School”. The main street is lined with Georgian and early Victorian houses and there is an exceptional range of galleries, antique shops, a village shop-cum-post office, pubs, restaurants and gift shops to suit all tastes. Warkworth has its own stretch of sandy beach and a 9 hole ‘pay and play’ golf course. Also within easy touring distance are Hadrian’s Wall, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island, the Farne Islands, several wonderful beaches and Alnwick Garden with its remarkable water cascade and Tree House Restaurant.

Great hosts who were very warm and friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The cottage is in a peaceful location with plenty to do in the area and was a smashing place to return and relax after a day of being a tourist.
