The gorgeous farmhouse-style kitchen is well-equipped for the budding chef in your group and the extra dining table means there’s space to gather and plan the next days adventure. Upstairs the cottage has four relaxed and tastefully decorated bedrooms. Two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and one with an en-suite with shower over bath. And two twin rooms, one with an en-suite shower room and one with an en-suite with shower over bath.
Warenford Village serves as an excellent base from which to discover Northumberland and the Scottish border country. Between the Cheviots and the sea, there is easy touring through the beautiful countryside with its numerous castles, stately homes, and National Trust properties. Just 4 miles distant lies Budle Bay, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the ancient walled town of Berwick-upon-Tweed (15 miles) and the Duchess of Northumberland’s ornamental gardens a short drive away. Also, sure to delight both young and old alike is a visit to neighbouring Alnwick Castle, which served as the location for the Harry Potter films. Within easy reach, too, is Holy Island – renowned for its medieval religious heritage, priory and picturesque castle – and also known by its Anglo-Saxon name of Lindisfarne.
There are quiet country lanes for cycling and several excellent golf courses nearby, as well as a selection of shops in Belford (3 miles) and good inns and restaurants in which to enjoy a family meal locally – the nearest pub with restaurant being just 30 yards. Shop/24-hr garage 1 mile.

Just came back from mill cottage.Had a lovely holiday with family, the cottage was gorgeous more than enough cooking equipment and utensils, lovely spacious rooms. The swimming pool was fantastic size and cleanliness was spot on especially for the children having ages from 6 to 14 also tennis court kept everyone occupied and having fun. Central for the attractions not having to drive too far. Good price as we got a discount, definitely would go again but unfortunately checked prices and availability for next year peak time the price has gone up nearly double so not going having a holiday abroad instead
