The Warren

We arrived here on the 30th December 2026 and booked for 6 nights due to depart on Sunday 4th January.

First impressions the cottage is beautiful with everything you need. It is located close to Budle Bay and set in quiet grounds away from the main road. The whole cottage would benefit from a good clean as there was dust on most surfaces and cobwebs on the beams. The windows upstairs had blinds that were thick with black mould including around the en‑suite shower. On our first night there was a power cut which can't be helped given the rural location. From night one we had problems with the hot water in the upstairs bath and shower in the en‑suite. As a result we contacted the owner who sent a plumber the next day and they stated everything was fine. It wasn't and I had to endure boiling kettles and pans to get hot water in the bath for my two children. The owner stated that there is an electric shower over the bath to use this to fill the bath. This again was faulty and pumped out lukewarm water. Really disappointing and put a real dampener on our stay resulting in us leaving early. If the areas above are addressed and taken seriously I would recommend a stay here. An honest review of our stay.

Great location near the coast in Budle Bay, spacious and well equipped cottage with lots to see and do.

I feel a slightly deeper clean would benefit the property in places.

The property is perfect location for trips far and close.

Lovely views and we were lucky with the weather. The property could do with a more thorough clean rather than basic clean and tidy between visits.but is it is a cottage so expect some dust. Kitchen facilities are very good but the kettle could do with descaling or replacing. The sofas are a bit uncomfortable and worn but met needs of the stay. The rest of the property very comfortable. Overall cottage met expectations and would recommend for location and facilities. Thank you

This was our second visit to the Warren and again, it did not disappoint !

It is a beautiful and comfortable property with everything you need for your stay. The location is perfect being close to Bamburgh, Holy Island and Seahouses to name but a few and we also spent a lot of time at Budle Bay which is a short walk down a track opposite the Warren and is just lovely ! We love it here and will definitely be back

Have returned to this property for the 3rd time it feels like home.

Very well equipped, clean and comfortable. Location is perfect for walking and driving to other places.

A very well appointed property full to the brim with everything you need.

Very comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. Lovely aspect too with just a short walk to the beach. Great base to explore the region. The welcome pack was just right for us to make a nice cuppa after a long journey and the wine and chocolate a real treat too……. All in all top class. We would highly recommend this place and woukd happily return …..thank you xx

The cottage was very well equipped.

The photos were a true reflection of what to expect. A couple of minor points. The outdoor area at the back could do with weeding, but weeds grow quickly at this time of year. Also the toilets in the bathroom and downstairs cloakroom need adjusting because there is a slight but constant flow of water into the bowl.

A cosy and well equipped property in a lovely location.

I didn’t want to leave.

This cottage was superb on all fronts. Could not have asked for more. The location alone is incredible. The house itself and the facilities are second to none. I needed somewhere that would afford me peace, quiet, space, open landscapes and skies, stars, history, castles, beaches, forests, nature. The Warren has it all. A truly special place. Will definitely return.

Lovely cottage which is in great condition.

They really thought of everything and all the little bits that you often have to supply were already there. It's in a very good location, very comfortable and we had an excellent stay. Would definitely go back

Excellent property Really well equipped and clean with comfortable beds.

Beautiful location and the weather was wonderful It was a great base to explore the wonderful Northumberland coast.
