A most unusual and spectacular space for holidays, the penthouse forms part of the top floor of the recently converted historic Maltings mill at Waren Mill, just a few minutes drive north of Bamburgh. The mill is said to date back to Norman times and has an idyllic location on the banks of Budle Bay. It affords stunning uninterrupted views over the Bay towards Holy Island and lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This area is renowned for its bird life (binoculars and telescope provided!)
Budle Bay, part of the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, is an estuary for two streams, the Waren and the Low. The vast mud plains left behind when the tide is out are a haven for birdlife. Greylag, pink-footed geese, mallard, wigeon and others, migrate here in late summer from the Arctic and use Budle Bay as a shelter in winter months.
In true Penthouse style, there is a large open plan living/dining/kitchen space and has a fresh boutique feel to the interior design scheme. If you're looking for something a bit different in a perfect coastal location, then look no further. It's not the usual cosy country cottage...it's much better!
The remains of a medieval castle crucial to Anglo-Scottish warfare, superseded by the most complete and breathtakingly impressive bastioned town defences in England, mainly Elizabethan but updated in the 17th and 18th centuries. Surrounding the whole historic town, their entire circuit can be walked.
