"A fabulous house in a beautiful part of the world"

A 4 bedroom property that sleeps up to 8 people. Generously proportioned accommodation with large outdoor space and secure gardens. Panoramic views of rolling hills, farmland and a view of the coast and Holy Island. Ideal location for cyclists, walkers, golfers and those who just want to relax.

Situated in the pretty hamlet of Warenton, it's a short drive to Bamburgh and the local amenities of Belford. Twenty minutes to either Berwick-upon-Tweed or Alnwick.

In detail, the outside of the property offers a large driveway, enough for 3 cars and additional road-side parking.

The main front garden stretches along the side of the village road. Views of Holy Island can be enjoyed at the bottom of the garden from the decked area. At the back of the cottage is a small enclosed courtyard which offers an ideal sun-trap during the late afternoon. The washing line and a charcoal BBQ can also be found here.
​
Inside, the cottage is spacious and bright offering a large dining kitchen which is well-equipped with an electric oven and hob, large fridge, dishwasher, kettle, toaster and coffee machine. The kitchen table seats 8 people.

A separate utility room provides a large Belfast sink, an additional double oven, freezer, microwave and wine fridge. Beyond the utility room is a boiler room which houses a washer, tumble dryer, iron, ironing board and vacuum. The back door leads out to the rear garden.

The large sitting room offers a place to relax in front of the wood-burning stove. The large flat-screen TV features Netflix, Amazon Prime and Freeview.

There is also a downstairs toilet.
​

- Master bedroom with super-king bed, large flat-screen TV. Ensuite bathroom with shower

A superb stay
This break was booked for three generations of our family to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday - accompanied by Mum's ever-faithful dog! There were a lot of boxes to tick when sourcing a suitable property, but 'Skyfall' came out top of the shortlist, and delivered beyond our expectations! The location is beautiful: rural, peaceful, with amazing views from the seating areas of the large, lawned front garden; whilst the privacy of the paved, back courtyard is a perfect, quiet retreat. The house is stunning: spacious, spotlessly clean, very comfortable, stylishly decorated & furnished to the highest standards, equipped with everything you could need - and more! Service and communication with the owner was very prompt, clear, helpful and friendly from start to finish. We were sad to leave; we would love to return; and we cannot recommend this property highly enough...

Wonderful 2nd Christmas here
We had a lovely Christmas here again. Every conceivable need met from dog bowls and food mixer to slow cooker and 3 electric ovens Beautiful bedrooms with lovely mattresses pillows and bedding. Plenty of parking, big kitchen table- ideal for playing games, laying out train sets as well as eating Large lounge with plenty of comfortable seating and wood burning stove which kept us warm and toasty This year back garden has been paved so dogs can be outside without getting muddy Only second time in 19 years have stayed in the same cottage twice - think that says it all. Thanks Kate for hosting us

A stunning property in a perfect location!
Kate was fantastic at keeping in touch about the booking, and the property was even better than I’d imagined. Every detail had been thought of, it was just like a home from home. There were a wonderful selection of board games that suited the kids and the grandparents! The front paddock is ideal for dogs as it is fully secure and has a lovely seating area. Even the kitchen has everything you need including a huge selection of condiments! We visited Holy Island, Bamburgh, & Craster, all of which were within close driving distance. All in all a perfect place- and the best cottage we’ve ever rented. Can’t wait to return!

Fantastic property in a beautiful and peaceful location
What a fantastic find! We had a wonderful fortnight staying at 'Skyfall' cottage for our first visit to Northumberland. The property was clean, comfortable, well-equipped and had everything we needed. Despite not actually meeting face to face, the owner was very responsive and helpful in answering questions via email. The location is beautiful and so peaceful and the children (aged 7 and 10) loved having the large garden to run around in. There were plenty of places to visit - all within about 30/40 minutes drive - including of course the gorgeous sandy beaches, castles, parks and gardens. Hope to return one day!

Beautiful cottage, furnished to a very high standard, well equipped accommodation. Large garden (paddock) for children and dogs to play safely in. This superb cottage is situated In a small hamlet with wonderful countryside views and quiet country lanes. A car needed to access shops, pubs, beaches and castles. This cottage and the countryside surroundings exceeded our family expectations, certainly deserves a five star rating.

Lovely cottage, great location
We enjoyed a great family holiday with 4 adults, 2 children and a dog! The cottage is well-appointed and bigger than it looks in the photos. Its in an ideal location for exploring, with Alnwick and Bamburgh nearby, as well as many good pubs and beaches. The neighbours were friendly, the location very quiet and there were some good walks from the cottage.

We loved our stay at the cottage. Kate was a lovely host and the house is beautiful and homely. It is near everything, we enjoyed our walks on the beach and the village of Alnwick is a 20 minute drive away. It is an absolutely beautiful coastline. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Fantastic getaway in a beautiful location
We had a perfect stay for our group of seven plus two spaniels. The house is superbly appointed with everything you need (and more) and to a very high quality. Nothing has been forgotten here. The house is in a very quiet location but a short drive to beaches and a good cross-country walk to the nearest town. I can't recommend this property highly enough and will definitely return.

Exquisite rural retreat
A fabulous home, with great style, lots of space and attention to detail. Very comfortable, spotlessly clean with some lovely touches and wanting for nothing. The beds were extremely comfortable, everything is modern, high quality and there is a nice selection of kids' games. Be prepared to bring food as there are no shops in walking distance, the house is not in Belford, it is located in a hamlet a few miles away from Belford. Car is essential. The location is very quiet and peaceful. There is a big grassy garden for kids to run around in and lovely walks both from the house and a short drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend Kate's home. She was most helpful and prompt with a couple of queries. Thank you, Kate!
