Children are welcome and cot facilities are available on request. Most of the rooms have a splendid view of Warkworth Castle. Full English Breakfast is included in all room prices.

Coopers Bar

For those wishing to unwind in a more leisurely manner then visit Coopers Bar. Popular with residents and locals alike, the relaxed atmosphere is ideal for a quiet drink or bar meal with family or friends.

A wide selection of hot and cold bar meals are available at lunchtimes and early evening. Relax in the garden and enjoy our exclusive view of the castle and its steep sided mound - famous for the thousands of daffodils that bloom upon it in the spring.

The Castle Restaurant

Enjoy an unforgettable experience and dine in our Castle Restaurant. Positively elegant in design and furnishings, it offers a fine selection of French, English and Northumbrian cuisine available from our A la Carte or Table d'Hote menus.

All the food is of the highest quality, with seasonal and fresh local produce being used wherever possible. The menus are complemented by a fine selection of wines, and all are brought to you with equally excellent service.

The Coquet Lounge and the Conservatory

Pause for a pre-dinner cocktail, or relax with friends over a drink in either of our lounges. The Coquet Lounge offers a quiet environment ideal for those who wish to hold an informal meeting or an after dinner discussion. It also serves as a private bar at conferences and functions.

In contrast, The Conservatory overlooks the river Coquet. Its light, spacious and tranquil surroundings, and impressive decoration, makes it a perfect place to relax over a quiet drink and reflect upon the day's events.

It can also serve as a function or conference suite, or as an addition to our adjoining Castle Restaurant for large functions.

Conference and Banqueting

For dinner dances, weddings and banquets we cater for numbers up to 120 by utilising either or both of the adjoining Castle Restaurant and The Conservatory. Whatever the occasion we have the flexibility and expertise to accommodate your needs.

Family occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries are welcome, as well as Wedding receptions both during the day and evening. The Sun Hotel is licensed to hold civil ceremonies inclusive of up to 50 persons.

For conferences we can accommodate up to 60 persons in the Coquet Room or Conservatory.

Picturesque, dramatic, romantic

Dominated by the dramatic ruins of its 12th century castle, Warkworth rests within a winding loop of the river Coquet only a short distance from where it spills into the North Sea. Spanning the river is a narrow mediaeval fortified stone bridge, one of a handful remaining in the country. The market place and main street are lined with picturesque Georgian and early Victorian houses.

Three of the scenes from Shakespeare's Henry IV are set at the castle. It was here the 3rd Earl Percy and his son Harry Hotspur plotted to set Henry IV on the throne. The Church of St. Lawrence, an almost complete Norman building, was the scene of a massacre in 1174 when the Scots, under Earl Duncan, murdered men, women and children who had taken up refuge there. A short distance up the river is the Hermitage. Reached by rowing boat, this tiny 14th century chapel and a sacristy are built into the cliff face, while the hermit's house was built outside.

For those on holiday, Warkworth is an ideal base from which to tour Northumberland, Durham or the Scottish Borders. Only a few minutes drive and you encounter dramatic unspoilt coastline with majestic castles and offshore islands with an abundance of National Parks, English Heritage and National Trust properties to explore. Golf, river and sea fishing, bird life, sailing and water sports are also widely available in the area.

Less than 2 hours to Edinburgh and a half-hour to Newcastle by road, Warkworth is also ideal for the business person. It is within easy reach of all the main industrial and service locations of Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, and the Scottish Borders.
