 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

Guest comments

'We had the BEST time. I would recommend the Penthouse to anyone. It felt like a real Home-from-Home! We Love the area anyway, always have, but discovering your Places has made it all the more attractive to sneak away more often. We will definitely be in touch soon. Thanks for Everything.

' We both had an amazing time at the Penthouse! We  had wanted to do something special for our first New Year together and special it was -  we were taken aback at how lovely the penthouse was, how well it was kitted out, all the little touches and the amount of goodies you left us. As soon as we walked in we both fell in love with the place and knew we wouldn't want to leave. Your  phone call was a lovely gesture. As it was dark (and miserable) when we arrived, we didn't realise just how close we were to the estuary, so we got a bit of a shock the next morning, when we got up to see that we could have easily got our feet wet! The weather was exceptional for the time of year, we had a sunny day on Holy Island on Saturday, thankfully we were having a sauna/swim/massage at the Ocean Club during Sundays downpour,  we had lovely sunshine for our New Year's Day walk along the beach at Bamburgh and beautiful sunshine on Tuesday for Alnwick Gardens and the town. So all in all, a wonderful time, probably the best New Year either of us have had, so thank you very much for your part in it.
I'm sure we will be back'  

' We had a fantastic time ! Arrived in the dark on Friday night and woke up on Saturday morning to that wonderful view!
  Weather was kind also with blue skies on the Sunday when we had a lovely walk to Dunstanburgh castle.
  I'm sure we'll be back! '

' just a quick email to say that we had a wonderful stay at the Penthouse - it was a beautiful property with stunning views and location was excellent. Everything we could have possibly needed (and more!) was there and we thoroughly enjoyed our welcome cake after a bracing coastal walk on Sat.
Would certainly consider rebooking either the penthouse or another property with coastal retreats at some point in the not too distant future - perfect for a weekend as very accessible from Edinburgh and so much to see and do' 

' We stayed here last year and loved the Penthouse. We love it even more now  - like what you've done with the new bathroom and the funky wallpapers. The addition of wi-fi access was really useful as it meant we could check opening times/plan what we did/book restaurant table etc. We'd like to try some of your other properties but to be honest we always relax so much here and it feels like home, that we will probably book this Penthouse again for next year'
