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.

Relaxing stay

Cross house was the perfect size for my wife, myself and our dog. The property opened up on to a beautiful walled garden that we all enjoyed. It was in the lovely village of Warkworth and a short journey to the stunning beach.

Beautiful Studio & Garden

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.

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!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely appartment in Warkworth. Hosts were lovely & helpful, offering advice on the area and the appartment was spotless & had everything we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Lara Mellor

Host profile image
Hi. Andy and Lara here! You are bound to meet us and our 2 little miniature poodles during your stay as we live in the main house at the front of the property. We are always pleased to answer any questions you have about the local area or generally just stop for a chat. Although we only moved to Warwkorth in 2016 we have been holidaying in the area for many years and often find we can give the original locals ideas on where to go!! We moved from busy West London and are loving the slower pace of life, friendly people and wide open areas Northumberland has to offer. We look forward to meeting you.

Why they chose this property

We are situated in the centre of the village about as close to all the local amenities as it is possible to be. Being walking distance to the beach is another huge plus for us. It is amazing to see the changes from season to season or even day to day. The studio is part of an original 1800's barn and still retains the exposed stone walls in parts of the property.

What makes this property unique

Guests have shared use of the large walled garden. Being directly on a regular bus route means taking the car out every day is not a necessity. There is also a lot to do directly in the village. Nearby Amble offers boat trips and a harbour. And you can even walk 6 miles along the beach to the next village Alnmouth.
