Fantastic & friendly!
A fantastic studio apartment, sparklingly clean and with a fab shower. It has a lovely walled garden which we all enjoyed. The hosts and their dogs are very friendly! Warkworth has great places to eat. We can recommend the Masons Arms for good food and very welcoming staff. It's also an easy walk along to Amble Harbour Village where there are more food options. The area is very dog friendly and has lots of beautiful beaches. We enjoyed dinner at The Heart of Northumberland in Hexham followed by a walking tour, The Hidden Horrors of Hexham - both dog friendly. Most of the independent shops allow dogs including the wonderful Barter Books in Alnwick. Lara can help you plan your days as she has great knowledge of the area and is obviously passionate about it. Like everyone we met, she wants visitors to enjoy the area. We were blown away by the hospitality and hope to visit again soon!

Our stay in Warkworth
Lovely town, Lara was really helpful in giving advice on best pubs, walks etc. We thought parking might be an issue but it wasn't and we always found a space just around the corner from our studio. Great to have a garden to let the dogs into and feel safe that they couldn't escape! Did some amazing walks, and found Druridge Bay and country park great for the dogs as there was walks around lakes, paths, a cafe and beach access too! All in all, a fab stay. Big shout out to Jasper's in Amble where we had an amazing meal but you need to book well in advance.

Fantastic stay!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The studio is really cleverly built on to the owner’s house and has fantastic views of the garden. It was a perfect place for two, clean, roomy, bright and well-equipped. Warkworth itself is beautiful with great walks, lovely pubs and easy access to other neighbouring towns and villages. Highly recommended.

A wonderful stay!
Lovely studio accommodation, perfect for the two of us and our dog, just what we needed for a 4 night stay, bright and airy and lovely garden for our dog to stretch her legs. Fabulous location to explore the villages near and further away and just a 15 minute walk to Warkworth beach. There were so many places to eat but our favourites were The Fish Shack and Spurelli's ice cream parlour in Amble, The Landing cafe in Beadnell, and the Masons Arms in Warkworth was good for pub food and drinks...all so dog friendly. We also enjoyed browsing in The Greenhouse, just over the road from the accommodation. Just a couple of things to point out, parking wasn't easy all of the time...there is no parking at the accommodation so you have to park in the square or nearby streets, we often had to circle for a while and wait for a space. Although we didn't want to spend much time watching tv, the studio would benefit from a more up to date tv that would allow guests to login to their own Netflix or Prime account to relax after a long day exploring. Due to the poor signal, we didn't get to watch any TV at all or be able to use the DAB stereo. Overall, a wonderful stay.

Beautiful property, really well appointed and very clean, lovely outlook over the gardens. The property is located in the grounds of the owner’s property who provided us with a warm welcome and recommended places to eat and walk. The village is great and has pubs, bars and cafes a short walk away, we didn’t need to use the car all weekend. Would recommend

Small but perfectly formed ground floor accommodation with delightful enclosed, shared garden - perfect for our Labrador. Only slight criticism was the mattress which gave us backache - a decent topper would probably resolve that issue.

A definite 5 star stay
We just finished a weeks stay at the Cross House Studio and could not have been more pleased. My wife and I are experienced travelers who have stayed in dozens and dozens of self catering homes and this place ranks up in our top 5. There is not one specific thing that stands out to push this so high up on the list - rather it is the cumulative total of so many things that all rated very highly - resulting in a superlative stay. A super quiet location. In the hustle and bustle of the village but when you enter thru the outside door and into the inner garden (beautiful BTW) you enter a peaceful Oasis. The property was immaculate. The wifi was fast and the TV very adequate. Compact but very comfortable and functional. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and furniture. Lara & Andy are personable, helpful, and proactive. A great pair of hosts! So much to do nearby a week was not enough time. We immensely enjoyed our stay and will endeavour to return. Well done!

The property is lovely and has everything that you need. Our dog loved the enclosed, walled garden and was very happy and safe. Warkworth is a glorious little village and the walks on the beach and along the river are perfect if you are taking a 4 legged family member with you. Lara is the perfect host, welcoming and friendly. The check-in/out procedures are quick and easy. Tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and orange juice were provided, which was thoughtful. Sadly, we had to leave early due to a family issue but really enjoyed our short time at the studio.
