About this property
Oriel House - Stunning property with breathtaking views of Warkworth Castle
Whisk yourself away to Oriel House in the beautiful, historic village of Warkworth on the breathtaking North Northumberland Coast.
Set in the picturesque coastal village of Warkworth, with its artisan shops, cafes and gastro pubs, Oriel House enjoys an exceptional setting within this beautiful village, directly opposite the majestic medieval Warkworth Castle.
This stunning period home has arguably one of the best views in the village and is fully equipped to be your perfect home from home.
In an exceptional location the property enjoys uninterrupted views of Warkworth Castle, which sits directly in front of the house, just across the road. The house sleeps up to 4 guests in 2 ensuite bedrooms, with super king and king beds.
On the ground floor there is a spacious lounge with stunning sandstone inglenook fireplace and gas stove. Seating for five. Smart TV, with complimentary Netflix. Unlimited wifi throughout.
There is a beautiful large, light and airy kitchen diner with seating for six. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need for your stay. There is an electric oven, induction hob, fridge, freezer, slimline dishwasher and washing machine. Kettle, Tassimo coffee machine, microwave oven and toaster. The exposed sandstone walls in the kitchen are truly gorgeous and are an indication of the age of this stunning period property.
Upstairs are the two bedrooms. The master suite bedroom to the front of the property has two windows both with uninterrupted views of the Castle. There is a beautiful window seat in the oriel window, a perfect place to curl up and take in the breathtaking view.
The master suite has a sitting area, super king bed, ample storage and 55 inch wall-mounted smart TV with complimentary Netflix. A large en suite bathroom with deep freestanding soak bath, walk in shower with drench shower head, basin, wc and beautiful shiplap panelling.
The second bedroom to the rear of the property, with kingsize bed, has beautiful views of the surrounding gardens. This room also has an ensuite bathroom with spacious walk-in shower with drench shower head, wc and vanity basin. On the ground floor there is an additional wc.
There is free on-street parking in resident parking bays outside the house. This is on a first come first serve basis but is usually plentiful. Please note although in a village setting Oriel House is set back from the road however the property has noise reducing acoustic double glazed windows throughout to reduce possible road noise. Warkworth Beach is a 15 minute walk from the house.
The garden to the rear of Oriel house is strictly not for guest use but with the beautiful grassy banks of Warkworth Castle on your doorstep, why not take a bottle over the road and sit at the foot of the majestic medieval castle. Or pack up a picnic and relax on one of the many benches along the River Coquet that loops around the castle. There are many walks on the doorstep for all abilities, inside the property you will find lots of local walk suggestions as well as maps of the area.

Fantastic stay in Northumberland. House was beautifully designed and decorated. Everything you could need and so comfortable. A home away from home. The owner was easily contactable and very helpful. Would love to return.
I stayed at Oriel House with my husband and little one and we couldn’t have been happier with the property and with Walkworth/Alnmouth etc! The property has been lovingly restored, it is well appointed, and there were lots of thoughtful personal touches provided by the host. We’d definitely stay again when we’re back in the area!
Absolutely stunning property. Great position opposite the castle in a nice village. The welcome basket was a lovely touch. Nothing negative to say about this property. Will definitely be back.
This is the second time we have stopped here and the property is just as pristine as it was the first time - everything was still as beautiful and clean. A shout out to your team of cleaners. The “Welcome Pack was again much appreciated
Thank you Grace for a wonderful holiday
We had a lovely few days in this property. It was presented to a very high standard with real attention to detail making it feel very cosy and homely. The welcome pack was great containing all the essentials so that we didn’t have to go rushing to the shop on the first morning, very thoughtful. I would definitely recommend this property and would like to return in the future. Thank you.
We had a lovely stay at this property which is finished to a very high standard and very well equipped. We loved looking out at the castle and the shops & eating places were ideal for us! A great base for exploring the area and the 2km walk to Amble was just the right distance for us
Oriel House is just as it shows on website, the view is amazing , the house spotless and beautifully decorated. We were very impressed. The welcome package and note from Grace was a lovely touch. Would have liked to sit out in garden but this did not detract from our stay. Would definitely recommend this property.
Beautiful, comfortable property with stunning views
A beautiful, clean, well decorated house. Very comfortable beds and well appointed en-suites. Stunning views of Warkworth castle, and a short walk from a convenience store and lovely places to eat and drink. Excellent communication from the owner and a lovely welcome basket awaited us. Good walks close by along the river and down to the beach. This property is well situated for trips out as there are many places to visit with a 30 minute radius.
Absolutely amazing stay. The property is truly 5* standard and retain all of the original charm of the building.
Too many amazing touches to mention but welcome gift, toiletries and games were brilliant
This well positioned home provided everything you could want and more. It was sparkling clean inside, it was warm and welcoming, and very comfortable and quiet. Grace was a pleasure to deal with and all the personal touches around the home along with the incredibly generous welcome basket made us feel right at home immediately. If we add could’ve given more than five stars we would have. We would recommend this to family and friends and we would love to come back!
We really enjoyed our time at Oriel House. It’s a lovely house that has been done up to a high standard. Rooms were spacious, nicely furnished and well equipped. Great location opposite the castle. We would love to visit again!
we had a lovely week in Warkworth. the property is one of the nicest i have stayed in.
Grace was lovely to chat to via the app and house is of a very high standard.
We would definitely return.
