Neighbourhood

The Watchtower is located in the small village of Waren Mill, just a short distance from Belford. Ideally situated on the Northumberland coast, but also with the wilderness of the Northumberland National Park close by, you really do have lots to discover. Right on the coast, The Watchtower is in an incredible setting. You can enjoy long, quiet walks and energetic hikes through the countryside and along the coast. The area is packed with wildlife and even features a nature reserve close by, so birds like wildfowl and waders can be seen passing through in droves during the winter. Belford has a thriving and friendly market square at its centre, brimming with independent shops, restaurants and inns. The Holy Island of Lindisfarne can be seen from various points around the village and is within easy reach. It’s an ideal base for those wanting to partake in a spot of fishing and golfing. The Watchtower is just a short 5-minute drive from the gorgeous coastal town of Bamburgh. Here you’ll find miles of stunning sandy shores and Bamburgh Castle, which is one of the finest castles in the country. Standing on the Northumberland coastline for over 1,400 years, there is a wealth of history to uncover.

Getting Around

The Watchtower is located within short driving time to beautiful areas within Northumberland such as Bamburgh, Seahouses and Beadnell. There are excellent travel links as the apartment is only a short distance from the A1. The closest train station is Berwick-upon-Tweed, which is roughly a 25-minute drive from The Watchtower so local towns in Northumberland can easily be reached via rail. There are a number of bus stops throughout Belford. Hop on the 418 service to explore Bamburgh, Beadnell, Alnwick and Alnmouth amongst others. The X18 route travels between Newcastle and Berwick upon Tweed with stops in Morpeth, Amble and Seahorses. Newcastle Airport is roughly one hour away by car.

The view Very dirty,full of cobwebs. Wasps flying around the living room. Electric sockets not fixed to the wall, very unsafe. Light fitting in bedroom hanging with wires showing. No light in the stairwell so pitch black. Broken flush in the ensuite. Shower boiling hot and awful controls to use. Electric heaters don't work. Windows in the main bedroom didn't close fully so very drafty. Dirty pots in the cupboard and only one oven shelf to use. Fridge smelly and didn't close fully. Found a woodlouse under my pillow in the main bedroom and spiders in the bathroom. Just an awful Stay would not recommend at all. Only nice thing was the view through the filthy windows.
