A Stunning Sandstone Retreat on the banks of the River Coquet

The Boathouse is a delightful retreat situated just behind the banks of the River Coquet in medieval Warkworth Village. With the foot of Warkworth Castle just behind you, four great pubs around the corner and the golden sandy beach just 15 minutes walk away, you'll be able to leave the car behind and explore everything on foot.

Sleeping up to 7 guests and welcoming one well-behaved dog, The Boathouse is situated in a peaceful spot not on the main road through Warkworth, instead with the pretty riverbank just 20 yards away. Take a bottle of wine down with you and watch the river flow from Amble downstream, or spot the various resident Herons on the other side of the riverbank take flight and land graciously on the calm river water.

The Boathouse is single storey and provides the perfect accommodation to entertain. The large lounge and several dining spots work perfectly in this spacious home, and the huge wood burning stove adds extra ambience in the cooler months.

Enjoy a tipple or two on the Mediterranean-inspired patio terrace, with several options for alfresco-dining or enjoying a solo morning coffee listening to the river and its various wildlife throughout the day.

Free Wi-Fi, parking for 1-2 cars, adults-only cottage, guests age 16 and over welcome.
