The Pelican Loft, a luxurious holiday apartment in the heart of Warkworth, Northumberland, has earned five-star reviews from guests. This 'historical treasure trove' village offers idyllic countryside, a spectacular coastline, and ancient history, all within easy reach.
Prime Location
Located just a 15-minute walk from Warkworth Beach and a short stroll from the 12th-century Warkworth Castle, this apartment is perfectly situated for exploring the county's highlights. The village itself has been named the best North East village to visit and is considered a top 'up-and-coming' staycation destination.
Accommodation Details
The Pelican Loft accommodates up to four guests and two dogs, making it ideal for couples or small families. Available from £1,159 for a seven-night summer stay (with spots in July and August), the apartment features luxurious touches and supreme comfort. While there is no garden, the river is less than 100 metres away, offering a tranquil spot for relaxation.
Guest Reviews
Regular guests praise the apartment's classiness, warmth, and cosy atmosphere. One reviewer noted, 'I've lost count of my visits, which is testament to how fab the apartment and position is.' Another described it as 'a luxurious, well-equipped homely flat' and a great base for exploring. A third guest highlighted the 'absolutely beautiful' décor and extremely comfortable beds. The only minor criticism was some road noise, compensated by the location.
Exploring Warkworth
History lovers can visit Warkworth Castle, with its cross-shaped keep and unique stone carvings, or the 14th-century Warkworth Hermitage, a chapel carved into a cliff face accessible by boat. Castle Street offers some of the 'most scenic views in Northumberland', with the castle at one end and the 12th-century church at the other. For those preferring hotels, the Warkworth House Hotel and Fairfield House B&B are top-rated options.
