Warkworth is positively magical in the wintertime, so what better time to experience the magic than at Christmas or New Year?
We make a big effort to ensure that our luxury cottages are beautifully and tastefully decorated for the Christmas season, with Christmas trees heavily laden with pretty and quirky decorations and twinkling fairy lights, wreaths on the front doors, garlands over the fireplaces and candles for that special yuletide atmosphere.
"What a wonderful cottage. When we drove up and saw the Christmas tree there were lots of ooh's and ahh's and when we got inside it got even better. We have absolutely loved our holiday here and can honestly say that we don't want to leave! A huge thank you again and when we come back we'll definitely give you a call!"

The Christmas and New Year weeks quickly fill up so book early to avoid disappointment.
All of the shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs in the village embrace the season with wonderful displays of decorations and the village is extremely pretty after dark with lots of pretty, twinkling fairy lights laced from tree to tree up Castle Street and beyond. We particularly like to enjoy a walk along the beach or around the riverbank and castle on a clear, crisp and sunny winter's day, followed by delicious home-made soup in Topsy Turvey's cafe or the Warkworth House Hotel - mmmm!
"Had a wonderful 2 weeks in a very beautiful house. We have been to Ross Sands, quite a trek to get to but certainly worth the wait. Had champagne on the beach on Christmas Eve. Newton by the Sea is where we saw our first seal. Had a very good lunch in the Hermitage in Warkworth. Walked for miles on Druridge Bay, at last we managed to tire the dogs out! The butcher's shop in Bamburgh is excellent, had a superb loin of pork for New Years Eve. The weather has been very kind to us, no rain. New Year's Day was fabulous weather, we walked almost to Alnmouth on the beach. Met some lovely people, all with dogs, can't wait to come back."

The weeks before Christmas and after New Year are increasingly popular - perhaps because these are "the calm before the storm" and "needing to chill after it's over" weeks. They also book up quickly so please bear that in mind if considering those times.
