Fantastic stay in Northumberland. House was beautifully designed and decorated. Everything you could need and so comfortable. A home away from home. The owner was easily contactable and very helpful. Would love to return.
I stayed at Oriel House with my husband and little one and we couldn’t have been happier with the property and with Walkworth/Alnmouth etc! The property has been lovingly restored, it is well appointed, and there were lots of thoughtful personal touches provided by the host. We’d definitely stay again when we’re back in the area!
Absolutely stunning property. Great position opposite the castle in a nice village. The welcome basket was a lovely touch. Nothing negative to say about this property. Will definitely be back.
This is the second time we have stopped here and the property is just as pristine as it was the first time - everything was still as beautiful and clean. A shout out to your team of cleaners. The “Welcome Pack was again much appreciated
Thank you Grace for a wonderful holiday
We had a lovely few days in this property. It was presented to a very high standard with real attention to detail making it feel very cosy and homely. The welcome pack was great containing all the essentials so that we didn’t have to go rushing to the shop on the first morning, very thoughtful. I would definitely recommend this property and would like to return in the future. Thank you.
We had a lovely stay at this property which is finished to a very high standard and very well equipped. We loved looking out at the castle and the shops & eating places were ideal for us! A great base for exploring the area and the 2km walk to Amble was just the right distance for us
Oriel House is just as it shows on website, the view is amazing , the house spotless and beautifully decorated. We were very impressed. The welcome package and note from Grace was a lovely touch. Would have liked to sit out in garden but this did not detract from our stay. Would definitely recommend this property.
Beautiful, comfortable property with stunning views
A beautiful, clean, well decorated house. Very comfortable beds and well appointed en-suites. Stunning views of Warkworth castle, and a short walk from a convenience store and lovely places to eat and drink. Excellent communication from the owner and a lovely welcome basket awaited us. Good walks close by along the river and down to the beach. This property is well situated for trips out as there are many places to visit with a 30 minute radius.
Absolutely amazing stay. The property is truly 5* standard and retain all of the original charm of the building.
Too many amazing touches to mention but welcome gift, toiletries and games were brilliant
This well positioned home provided everything you could want and more. It was sparkling clean inside, it was warm and welcoming, and very comfortable and quiet. Grace was a pleasure to deal with and all the personal touches around the home along with the incredibly generous welcome basket made us feel right at home immediately. If we add could’ve given more than five stars we would have. We would recommend this to family and friends and we would love to come back!
We really enjoyed our time at Oriel House. It’s a lovely house that has been done up to a high standard. Rooms were spacious, nicely furnished and well equipped. Great location opposite the castle. We would love to visit again!
we had a lovely week in Warkworth. the property is one of the nicest i have stayed in.
Grace was lovely to chat to via the app and house is of a very high standard.
We would definitely return.

About the host
Hosted by Grace
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to look at my properties. My name is Grace. I work part-time as a nurse and the rest of the time I work as an interior designer, specialising in holiday rentals and staging homes to sell. I grew up in Northumberland and love the coast!
Why they chose this property
Firstly, I hope you have a wonderful stay and that you love Warkworth and Oriel House as much as I do.
I grew up in Warkworth with my two siblings and love the village. When I bought Oriel House it had been vacant for a number of years and needed a lot of TLC! I have walked past this beautiful house thousands of times growing up in the village and always wondered about that view!
When I came for the house viewing, even after seeing the magnificent Castle everyday, I was still blown away with the views from the front windows, especially from the oriel window in the master bedroom!
Despite needing a lot of work, I could see the potential in the property so purchased Oriel House in the summer of 2020. The house has undergone major renovations since then and opened its doors to guests in April 2021. The renovations included opening up the kitchen and dining room, to create a dining kitchen, the creation of two ensuite bathrooms, a new cloakroom and full redecoration. Originally, the house consisted of three bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs. A dark dingy lounge, L-shaped kitchen and small dining room downstairs. The house had a very bizarre layout with under-utilised space. I therefore decided to bite the bullet and start the planning application for the renovation. Fast forward a lot of long days and late nights with power tools. A heck of a lot of dust, debris and this is the end result.
I really hope you love your home away from home and have a fabulous holiday here in beautiful Warkworth.
What makes this property unique
The location of the house and the views were what really drew me in. Every time I go into the master bedroom I have to sit on the cosy window seat in the oriel window and look at the castle.
