About us

Welcome to River Retreat, our family-owned holiday cottage in the heart of beautiful Warkworth. We discovered Warkworth by chance and instantly fell in love with its riverside setting, stunning coastline, friendly village atmosphere, and slower pace of life. When we purchased River Retreat in 2021, we completely refurbished it to create the kind of stylish, comfortable retreat we would love to stay in ourselves. Perfectly located in the centre of the village, everything is within easy reach—from sunrise walks on the beach and riverside strolls to cosy pubs, independent shops, cafés and the iconic castle. As a family-run business, we're passionate about helping guests experience the very best of Northumberland. Whether you're here for a romantic break, a family adventure, or a getaway with your dog, we hope River Retreat feels like your home from home and leaves you planning your next visit before you've even left. Welcome to Warkworth—we're delighted to share it with you.
