  We have stayed here 3 times before and will be back again. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Northumberland. The cottage is very high spec and in a lovely village. It is very clean with comfy beds and very good shower. A great holiday!

• "The cottage was one of the best we have stayed in."

  The cleanliness, decor and comfort was outstanding. Plus the location of the cottage was spot on. We loved everything about the cottage and couldn’t fault anything. Warkworth is a beautiful village, with a great selection of pubs/restaurants and the parking was very easy in the free spaces. We would highly recommend this cottage.

  The cottage was extremely well presented, comfortable and was spotless. We met the owners, when we couldn't turn the oven on and they arrived within minutes to sort us out! It was a really pleasant and restful break.

• "Fantastic week spent at the The Olde Stables saw this property the year before whilst out walking coastal path looked tempting so booked,Really glad we did everything has been thought about lovely welcome pack on arrival."

  The beds and the whole cottage super comfortable 15 min walk and your on a stunning beach very convenient for days out to all local places.The kitchen was fully equipped if you like cooking even electric steamer and slow cooker left in property which we loved after a long days walking and exploring,been to Northumberland many times. Lots of books and information left in property for those wetter days nights plenty of games to keep you amused.lovely hot powerful shower in main bath room couldn’t fault anything my only concern before we went was no on site parking but the maket place is only a stones throw away plenty of nice size spaces for larger vehicles and we always managed to get a space on our evening return failing that plenty of nearby street parking obviously on a first come first served but don’t let the parking put you off.Would highly recommend some nice local eateries in village but everyone has a different opinion on whats good and not so good when eating out.All in all a well kept and maintained property keep up the good work nice to find such a lovely holiday accommodation and we’ve stayed in many over the years.Will definitely return much more exploring to do in Northumberland.

  Stunning walks and sea views in Northumberland so it was just a great holiday. Cottage is very clean, well equipped and a great welcome pack. It was our second stay here and was just as good as the first! In fact I would stay again as I don’t think you would find a better place in Northumberland. Great owners and very helpful. Thanks

• "Very comfortable and very well equipped."

  Spotlessly clean .Excellent Wi-Fi and television. Beautifully positioned in the centre of a pretty village with amenities close at hand . Lovely walks in the area and lots to do and see . The only gripe would be the lack of light coming into the property and no view . But we were out most of the day anyway making the most of the beautiful area. Very generous hosts leaving lots of “goodies” which were appreciated, thank you .

  Cosy and full of personal touches all over the house. We also appreciated all of the many extras that were left for us (wine, all the breakfast treats, all of the essentials left in the fridge etc.) Location was brilliant next to the historic church, 15 mins walk to the dunes and beach and 5 mins walk to the castle. Also very quiet while being so close to three really lovely pubs! Really enjoyed our stay..

• "We have stayed in a number of UK holiday cottages over the years, some good ,some less so however we would say that the olde stables in Warkworth was amongst the very best."

  The cottage is so well located in the village, everything being a 3 minute walk away. The village has pubs, cafes, restaurants and a few shops. The facilities are excellent, great well equipped kitchen, new television, internet connection, big walk in shower and two comfortable double bedrooms, each with a TV. The cottage has been converted and decorated/styled in the best way, it really is a home from home. The owners have put a great deal of thought into making it to such a good standard, the little touches when you arrive, bottle of wine, eggs, milk, orange, butter and bread in addition to a supply of breakfast cereals. They had also made the cottage feel Christmassy for us, a beautiful tree, subtle decorations and Christmas lights outside. Living close by they were around when we arrived, provided useful information about the locality and gave the impression they would be on hand if anything was required. Cottage is within a converted stable block, its close to a local hotel but is not troubled by noise or disturbance. Its a lovely place and one I believe we will return too. Probably the best cottage we have stayed in in the UK.

• "The Olde Stables is a perfect home from home."

  The owners were extremely helpful when we had a couple of questions, and were easy to contact. They had provided lots of little extras which were very thoughtful, especially the bottle of wine and popcorn! The cottage itself is comfortable, stylish and spotlessly clean. Everything you could think of was provided and more. It was our first visit to Northumberland and we will definitely be returning - Warkworth is a great base. We ate at the Masons Arms and Bertram’s which were both great, especially considering the COVID-19 restrictions in place at the moment. Grays is a fabulous little shop, especially good for early Christmas shopping! We visited Alnwick and Bamburgh Castles and had the most wonderful trip to Holy Island. The Olde Stables and Warkworth gave us a perfect autumn break - thank you Russell and Tracey.

  They were so helpful. The Olde Stables is in a great location in the heart of Warkworth, everything you need on the doorstep.

We will return to this lovely home.

  A few days before we arrived we received some texts from the owners giving us some information and directions, which was very much appreciated. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and packet of biscuits, which always goes down well, and a lovely note providing further information. The cottage is very cosy, decorated beautifully and well equipped. The village itself is lovely and people are so friendly. We can definitely recommend the Masons Arms for food and good company! The Fenwick Gallery is also a must to look round but be careful as you may spend a little too much as Nicole and Dorien’s artwork is exceptional! The beach was a 15 min walk away and was breathe taking. For those who love to read I can recommend Barters Books in Alnwick too! Edinburgh is an hours train ride from Alnmouth and didn’t cost a fortune either. Don’t be put off that their isn’t a parking space outside the cottage as there is a car park not even a mins walk from the cottage and we never had any issues getting a space. Thank you so much to Tracey and Russell (the owners) for letting us stay, we had an amazing week and we will definitely be coming back again soon.

• "Great accommodation, immaculately clean with everything you needed for a self catering holiday."

  Not that we did much cooking with the good eating places within walking distance - with a surprising number of options for a small village. Would recommend the Masons Arms for good, and plentiful meals on an evening and the Cabosse during the day for the best hot chocolate you will ever have.. A walk back along the side of the river after a meal was very pleasant. An excellent bus service, which puts my local one to shame, means there are options for trips out without having to use the car. Would heartily recommend this property, which is excellent value for money. This was the first time we have holidayed in this area but will be returning, and will be booking this property again. Finally, a word about the helpful owners. We had a slight problem with the TV but after ringing them they were at the property within the hour, driving from their own home a few miles away and sorted it. Great service. All in all a wonderful week.

  This property is a little gem of a find in a pretty village. Everything was as described but it was even lovelier than the pictures show. The whole house had lots of little extras that really helped throughout the week. The TV having access to Netflix and Prime was excellent and helped to keep my little ones entertained before breakfast. The fan in the main bedroom was much appreciated during the hot weather we experienced. I just missed having a dishwasher (I know there isn’t one listed) but it would’ve been the cherry on the top if there’d been one. Thank you for the little welcome biscuits and wine and for the addition of the high chair.
