 A most unusual and spectacular space for holidays, The Loft 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 ( 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 Loft 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!

Coastal Retreats Candid Comments (Giving you the only down sides we can think of about a property before you book!)

There are double beds here, not king size.  There is no private garden but a communal lawned area. No real fire, a contemporary electric fire is focal point, and, of course, the view!

Mobile reception is poor in this area around Budle Bay
