The Olde Stables rests peacefully in the curve of the River Coquet, adjacent to St. Lawrence's Church in the historic village of Warkworth, Northumberland. Offering bags of character, this beautiful cottage has been thoughtfully restored to provide homely accommodation for families and friends alike, with wooden-clad walls, low pendant lighting, solid oak doors and quirky features throughout, giving it a sense of style and charm. Enter straight into the spacious open-plan living room, where you can relax on the sofas with a good book and a drink or switch on the TV to catch up on your favourite shows before preparing a homemade meal for everyone and getting together around the dining table. The kitchen is wonderfully appointed for all your culinary needs, however there is also a pub/restaurant next door, should you fancy a night off from the cooking. Climb the carpeted stairs to the first floor, where you can cool off from a long walk in the family shower room, which boasts a double walk-in shower cubicle and a quality finish. Make the most of the small library on the landing and choose something gripping to read before bed, then head up another set of stairs to find two well-appointed double rooms, one boasting an en-suite cloakroom. If you can tear yourself away from this delightful retreat, enjoy a lovely stroll around the village and find a plethora of shops, pubs and eateries, along with the imposing Warkworth Castle towering over it all. Enjoy a walk along the river and uncover the Warkworth Hermitage medieval cave, set within a cliff-face on the north bank near to the castle, a must-see during your visit. Journey up to Alnmouth and explore its sand dune grassland backing onto the bay, the perfect place for a family day out, walking, wildlife spotting and enjoying picnics. The whole of the coastline awaits an there are many other attractions including Hadrian's Wall and Holy Island, giving you that much-needed break in a fascinating part of the country.

Reviews
I can highly recommend staying at this cottage. Before our stay we received a text message from the owners with some additional information about the cottage and this was really appreciated. When we got to the cottage we were welcomed with a bottle of wine, biscuits and an information sheet which was very helpful. The cottage is decorated beautifully and was very cosy and warm. The kitchen is fully equipped and there are lots of books and games to play, if you didn’t take any with you. Don’t be put off that their isn’t an allocated parking space at the cottage as a few seconds walk there is plenty of parking and we never had any problems finding a space. The village is stunning and the locals are extremely friendly. I can recommend The Masons Arms for food and good company and the Fenwick gallery for beautiful artwork created by local artists Nicole and Dorien. Warkworth Castle is worth a visit and the beach is only a 10/15 minute walk away. If you want to venture out a little further then visit Hadrian’s Wall, Dunstanburgh castle, Barters Books and Alnwick. We also took the train from Alnmouth to Edinburgh, this took just over an hour. If you like shopping then the Metro centre in Gateshead is worth a visit, it’s huge! We had a lovely relaxing week away here and will definitely be returning returning in the near future.
Great accommodation, immaculately clean with everything you needed for a self catering holiday. Not that we did much cooking with the good eating places within walking distance - with a surprising number of options for a small village. Would recommend the Masons Arms for good, and plentiful meals on an evening and the Cabosse during the day for the best hot chocolate you will ever have.. A walk back along the side of the river after a meal was very pleasant. An excellent bus service, which puts my local one to shame, means there are options for trips out without having to use the car. Would heartily recommend this property, which is excellent value for money. This was the first time we have holidayed in this area but will be returning, and will be booking this property again. Finally, a word about the helpful owners. We had a slight problem with the TV but after ringing them they were at the property within the hour, driving from their own home a few miles away and sorted it. Great service. All in all a wonderful week.
