Piggyback Cottage

“It has been a true Northumbrian visit in blustery and rainy conditions, but what a haven Piggyback Cottage is — a perfect gem of a hideaway. Due to its ideal location between the River Coquet and the North Sea, we’ve enjoyed beautiful walks and wonderful wildlife. We stood in awe watching a barn owl hunting over the sand dunes near Warkworth Golf Club. We would love to visit again to see how Piggyback changes through the seasons. There is so much to see. Thank you, we have loved our visit here.”

“Thank you Dawn & Gary for a wonderful stay in your beautiful cottage. Piggyback is the perfect getaway to unwind. This little gem is super cosy, spotlessly clean, well equipped and the attention to detail is superb. We felt at home straight away. We were lucky enough to visit during the best weather and loved relaxing in the pretty courtyard with a bottle of wine or two. Thanks again and we hope to visit again soon. Warning: highly relaxing stay — may result in extended naps and a refusal to go home!”

“We wondered if we would feel the same coming back to Piggyback. We shouldn’t have worried — it still felt like our second home. The new pictures and little extra touches are lovely, and the welcome basket was a wonderful surprise. Although the weather took a chilly turn, we still got out every day and even made it to The Hermitage. Already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you Dawn & Gary for still sharing Piggyback.”

“We would highly recommend Piggyback Cottage as it is beautiful and immaculately presented. There was everything we needed for our 7 night stay. The hamper and doggy treats were a very thoughtful touch. The beds were extremely comfy and having the option of a bath was perfect! The views from upstairs are breathtaking. Our dog was safe in the enclosed area outside and just loved being all cosy with us inside. The bedroom downstairs was ideal as dogs are not allowed upstairs. The cottage is ideally located a short walk into the village — we even saw a family of otters while walking along the riverside. We ate at the Warkworth Hotel and Bertrams Cafe, both excellent. We loved this place so much we have booked again for next year.”

“From the moment we walked through the door we just loved this cottage. It has everything you need and more. Great for us — we came with friends so having one of the big bedrooms downstairs was perfect. It was warm and cosy; we lit the fire every night which made it extra special. We love this area of Northumberland, so many beautiful beaches, landscapes and historical places to visit. We already have another weekend booked here and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend a visit in any season!”
