About this property

The Old Piggery at the White Cottage is a recently refurbished detached dwelling and offers a unique opportunity to escape...

The property is located in Warenton, a small hamlet, that lies in the heart of rural Northumberland and is nestled conveniently between the Cheviot Hills to the west and the coast to the east.

With uninterrupted views of Holy Island (Lindisfarne) in the distance and only 10 minutes drive from Bamburgh. It provides the luxury and sanctuary for the perfect retreat.

The Old Piggery has one large space downstairs. Open plan kitchen/diner and lounge with a log burner.
Logs and kindling are provided in The Old Piggery and there are also logs in a black bin behind the utility please help yourselves.
If you should need any more there are sacks of logs in the wooden lean to shed on the side of the white cottage for £5 a bag - please help yourselves and leave the money on the kitchen window sill in The Old Piggery.

The ground floor consists of an entrance lobby/utility room that leads to a kitchen/diner living area with a log burner. There is also one double bedroom with a shower room close by.

The second bedroom is upstairs with a double bed and a king size bed and an en-suite bathroom with a shower over a spa bath.

The views over the fields and the sea in the distance are stunning. The bifold doors and large windows allow the light to come flooding through making the whole property bright light and airy.

The drive is shared with our home (The White Cottage) but guests have plenty of room to park in front of The Old Piggery (off road parking).

Lovely week in Northumberland despite weather

The property was wonderfully decorated and designed. It was in a lovely tranquil setting overlooking the Holy Isle yet still only a few minutes from the A1, so great for exploring the area. The four of us slept comportably and enjoyed the spacious and light living area - included watching an incredible variety of birds going about their business just outside the huge living room windows. The weather wasn't kind to us but it didn't matter as there was plenty to do. One day we got a train from Berwick to Edinburgh for a day at the festival - an easy journey of 25 mins to the station and 40 minutes on the train. Still so much to see in the area. We'll certainly be back.

Perfect home from home

The Old Piggery is a great place to stay and the most well-equipped cottage we've ever stayed in. Sue and Phil are ideal hosts and gave excellent advice on the area - we visited places we wouldn't have found without their guidance. We hope to return.

Wonderful views

The property was delightful with wonderful views across to Lindisfarne, over the countryside and out on to the garden. There were plants throughout the cottage which was the best equipped we have ever stayed in….it had everything you could want if you want peace and quiet in the countryside.
