  • "A very comfortable and clean house with excellent outdoor seating areas and a safe garden for our dog."

    The weather was good and we had breakfast on the patio every morning. There were great local walks and we enjoyed many meals out. Bertram’s and The Masons Arms were superb along with The Fish Shack at Amble. We would love to stay at Westhill House again. Thanks!

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback on your stay at Westhill House. We’re delighted to hear that you found the house comfortable and clean, and that you enjoyed the outdoor spaces — especially breakfast on the patio in the good weather! It’s wonderful to know your dog felt safe and welcome in the garden, and that you made the most of the local walks and nearby dining spots — Bertram’s is a firm favourite of ours too. We truly appreciate your kind words and would be thrilled to welcome you back to Westhill House anytime. Best wishes Piers Nickalls Property Owner

  • "The accommodation was lovely."

    Very comfortable. Would definitely recommend. Appreciated the goodies provided by the owners.....thank you. A slight criticism. We were a bit confused about the bin collection and recyclement facilities as it was bin day when we left. The information provided suggested that they would be collected very early, but they weren't, so we couldn't take the empty bins back. We had to leave them out to comply with the time that we had to vacate the property. Also, we took glass items home with us as there was no facility for them. We had a lovely stay and I put an entry in the guest book stating that the property was a credit to the owners. We would definitely go there again.

  • "What a fabulous house!"

    Very comfortable, beautifully furnished and extremely clean. The garden was fantastic and with the Castle backdrop was stunning to sit in the autumn sunshine. No private parking but there was plenty of on street parking available.

  • "No cleaning materials on arrival."

    Housekeeping had omitted to leave any bin bags or dishwasher tablets (no cleaning box). No spare toilet rolls in either bathroom. It took numerous phone calls (3) to get any positive response to resolving issue. We arrived Friday pm no cleaning box or spare toilet rolls until Monday pm. Kitchen floor had standing water on arrival, not mopped-up by housekeeping (dangerous). Dishwasher had broken parts lying in the dishwasher on arrival. For a property which costs over £1000 to rent for a week this was an unacceptable standard, Customer service response from Sykes was poor. Called immediately on Friday pm and the response of housekeeping do not work weekends so you will have to wait until MOnday, when they have not prepared the property for occupation on the Friday, is simply not good enough. I doubt we will book with Sykes / Northumbria-Cottages again based on this experience unless we have no other option.

  • "Lovely cottage and great location."

    Have visited the area many times and this cottage was perfect for a family of 4. Warkworth is a lovely village with good pubs, cafes and restaurants. Close to great beaches ( especially Warkworth & Alnmouth). Property was clean and comfy however it would benefit from a deep clean and a bit of a spruce up in areas, which is expected with a property of this age.

  • "Beautiful house in a great location."

    Perfect for a family holiday. Everything we needed, fully equipped kitchen. Garden is lovely and great for sunny play days. There are some great pubs in the village. Beaches are safe, clean and perfect for walking or family day trip. Bathrooms are luxurious and everything was very clean on arrival. One small issue we had was that the plug on the main family bathroom bath is eroding so you couldn't keep the tub filled. Didn't bother us as the shower is great. Will definitely be booking another break away at this please. We loved it!

    Really pleased you had such a good time in Book House. We will look into the bath plug. Property Owner

    We then found there was no second TV? the interior was first class but the garden was very neglected in parts this was a disapointment.

  • "A lovely comfortable house in a nice location with an added bonus of a lovely garden to sit out in."

    The kitchen was very well equipped but I felt it was let down, a bit, by the "generic" welcome pack from Out of Eden. A pint of milk in the fridge, some Northumbrian tea/coffee and a packet of local biscuits would be much nicer. Can definitely recommend the Mason Arms for a pint and some good "pub grub" and the obligatory visit to Spurrelis in Amble for ice-cream :) Also discovered, this time, was the Drift Cafe in Cresswell and Brewis Beer in Amble (which does nice street food at the weekend) Been coming to Northumberland for 10 years now but this was our first visit to Warkworth and we will definitely be back.

  • "This is a fabulous place to stay."

    The location is excellent and the house is well-equipped with plenty of space. I would thoroughly recommend Westhill House. This next bit is for the owners of the property only - not to be published: Areas for improvement: Please have new photos taken. These date from at least 2016 and the house is not as represented in the photos, for eg the single room is bland compared to the photo, the sitting room is a sofa down, the chairs in the dining room are different and there is no TV in the dining room (we did appreciate the extra seating). The new carpet is great but the two double rooms need the doors adjusting as the carpet thickness means that you can’t shut the door - no privacy! The lock on the main bathroom is hard to use, I would worry about a child getting stuck, it needs adjusting. Instructions for the heating stuck on the wall by the dial would be helpful. Not huge things but all points visitors notice!

The property

Resting in the heart of picturesque Warkworth in Northumberland, Westhill House is a charming Grade II listed cottage which has been lovingly restored and offers spacious and well-presented accommodation, perfect for a family holiday or small group of friends holidaying together.

Stepping into the attractive sitting room and your holiday can begin with comfy seating inviting guests to come in, kick off their shoes and relax in front of the gorgeous woodburning stove.

This is somewhere you can imagine spending a lot of time during your holiday catching up with each other and getting warm in the cooler months.

The fully fitted kitchen is a chef’s delight with a range cooker just waiting to be utilised and when the food is ready to serve up, take a seat in the dining room at the rustic dining table located in front of stylish French doors opening onto the gardens at the rear of the property.

Look forward to tucking into long, leisurely meals together here in the dining room or if the weather allows, then you can eat alfresco in the ample gardens which are set up ready for guests to enjoy spending time, whether it’s running around on the lawns for the kids (and any pets!) or taking a seat on a lounger or at the patio table for the grown-ups.

All that fresh air will have tired everyone out, so you’ll be delighted to know there are three elegant bedrooms for guests to choose from, two king-sizes and a single.

All offer a restful sanctuary which is ideal for laying your weary heads after an exhausting day of exploring.

In the morning, take advantage of the spacious bathrooms by enjoying a long, relaxing soak in the bath or a quick, refreshing dip in the shower.

Heading out from Westhill House couldn’t be easier with the delights of Warkworth on the doorstep, which is known for being home to the dramatic ruins of a 12th century castle.

Its 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.
