About this property

Occupying a superb location right in the heart of Warkworth in Northumberland, The Burgage House offers stylish and spacious accommodation ideal for a family holiday. The feeling of light and space is established from the get-go with a delightful open-plan living room with a large L-shaped seating area inviting guests to come in and take a seat on the comfy sofa where you can imagine spending many hours chilling out and getting into the holiday vibe. The dining area is located in a bright and airy part of the house with windows to three sides offering beautiful views over trees and beyond. You can imagine rustling up a delicious meal in the fully fitted kitchen and then sitting down at the rustic dining table and tucking into long, leisurely meals together. For a less formal dining option, you can pull up a stool at the breakfast bar in the kitchen and keep the designated chef company. If guests want an alternative space for relaxing in then check out the comfy snug where there is a selection of books and even a piano so no shortage of things to do! Should the sun be shining, then there’s loads of outside space at The Burgage House with extensive gardens for the kids and any pets to run around while the grown-ups can relax on the patio area, enjoying time alfresco. At bedtime, there are four well-appointed bedrooms to choose from; all are spacious and boast sumptuous beds just asking for you to sink into and look forward to a relaxing night’s sleep. Waking up in the morning and you’re already in the thick of things being in the centre of vibrant Warkworth which is well worth taking a stroll into. Known for being home to the dramatic ruins of a 12th century castle, Warkworth’s link to the past continues with the village’s selection of antique shops and galleries and it also has a beach and a golf course. Attractions in the area worth visiting include Hadrian’s Wall, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island, the Farne Islands and Alnwick Gardens. Other beaches nearby worth packing a bucket and spade for include Alnmouth, Cresswell, Embleton and Newton Haven. For a family holiday bursting with happy memories make sure you book a visit to The Burgage House.

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, antiques shops, a village shop/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.

  • Margaret

    Cosy and spacious . Plus a perfect English village environment, a short walk from a lovely beach. More spectacular beaches on the coastal drive e g Beadnell and Bamburgh. Strike west for the Cheviots and don’t miss wonderful Ad Gefrin in Wooler. Shop in Alnwick and visit the best bookshop, at the old station for lunch and browsing.

  • Lynne

    Really enjoyed our stay. One criticism would be that it’s a shame there isn’t a downstairs loo - would still recommend to family and friends.

  • Tom

    A few small issues - a tray in the oven needed a soak and clean and it smelled of fish. Generally it was clean but there was a bit of dust here and there. The sofa in the back room looked a bit tired and grubby but it's white/cream which seems a strange choice for a family cottage. These are small niggles, the bathrooms/shower rooms were excellent. Good beds with firm mattresses (I normally leave a cottage with a bad back but not here). Would recommend it to others.
