  Fantastic cottage, when can we move in! Great location, lots to see and do. Gorgeous beaches and countryside. HOPE TO BE BACK. The cottage was so lovely and well equipped you have certainly thought of everything, I could have easily have moved in. Warkworth was an ideal location as it has numerous pubs in easy walking distance, a beautiful river setting and a beach not too far away. The scenery in Northumberland was great as was the weather and we spent many days exploring the nearby beaches and towns. I hope it will not be too long before we can pay another visit even for a long weekend. Thanks again."
