Warkworth is a lovely place to stay, and the apartment was very centrally located

Location was spot on as we wanted to be in central Warkworth. The flat was lacking in that “homely” feel and the only time we have been away and not been left any kind of welcome pack! I do think the outside space was misleading from the photos..we would not have wanted to sit out there. We did also have an issue with the heating not working but it was resolved quickly. Sofas and beds comfortable. Bedding and towels were all white which is so much nicer.

Very business like and not too homely. Decor out of a catalogue. The rear outside space was drab, fence was so high when sitting you couldn’t see anything. Not that there was anything to see. Noisy in mornings, no double glazing as you are so close to road it got noisy very early. The area is of course fantastic, with so much to see and most of the time you are outside so it doesn’t matter. You couldn’t eat a meal for 4 inside. It would be too small.

Love Warkworth and the property was ideally located for exploring. However it was dirty (kitchen window, cutlery, socks and underwear from previous guest still in drawer). The property was in the road which meant I didn’t sleep, noisy. The host was much more concerned with trying to see us early check in and extra time at the property and ignored my question about whether dogs were allowed on local beach. I asked again and they said they didn’t know. Previous Airbnb hosts have been super helpful and answered all questions well and have often said ‘please stay another night for free if you want as no one is coming in tomorrow’. This Airbnb in comparison felt greedy. Oh, and we were left one toilet roll for four people for across five days. I don’t think a second one in the bathroom would have broken the bank.

Absolutely fantastic location, very clear instructions and easy to find. Host and Stay were quick to respond and contact the owner when we had a minor lapse in hot water, and talked us through how to sort the boiler ourselves. The only thing was that it wasn’t very clean, but perhaps this was a one-off error. It was just a bit surprising given the price but even so, we would definitely like to come back.

We stayed at the property for 2 nights and overall had a pleasant experience. The apartment is easy to find and located in a lovely small village with lots of beautiful places to visit on the doorstep. We were fortunate enough to see lots of seals during an evening stroll at Walkworth beach which was lovely. The apartment was clean and compact but was quite basic. A minor gripe would be that its a shame a couple of coffee pods were not left for us to make use of the coffee machine on our arrival as the cost vs customer experience would be minimal to the letting company. The extra £25 fee which is charged on top of the cleaning fee wasn't made clear until booking which in my opinion didn't represent value for money and wasn't something I have had to pay at other properties. We enjoyed our stay but feel it was expensive with all charges taken into account.

The place is right next to the street. Centrally located in the village and on a pretty corner. We loved it and love the historic town. Absolutely worth a visit is Craigside, house and park. Those who stay longer in England get a Visitor Pass/Member Ship from the National Trust and check out more great houses.

The apartment was clean and comfortable especially the beds which were super comfortable. Plenty of storage space for clothes with big wardrobe and drawers in the second bedroom. Kitchen was fine for us although we didn’t really cook that often but was well stocked with pans & utensils. The road noise wasn’t an issue for us but may bother others. Parking was around the corner on The Butts which was less than 1 min walk so no issue for us and we also parked on the square when we needed to use the EV charger which was handy. The property was a little dark even in July, perhaps some better lighting would be in order and the bathroom light turned itself off from time to time! The outside space is very small but the small room to the rear was rather nice to sit in the evening with a small dining table and seating area. Overall we had a most enjoyable stay. Warkworth is a charming village with a good selection of bars & restaurants. Amble larger and is a 5 min drive away.

We love Warkworth. The flat was mixed - lovely bedrooms with comfy beds, good shower but very basic kitchen and dark living room. The request for payment to cover insurance before we were given access codes was not helpful - especially only 2 weeks before we went - never experienced this. Unfortunately did not think it represented value for money

Enjoyable and relaxing stay. The cottage is cosy and beds were comfortable fitted with quality linens. Road noise didn’t bother us. You are straight onto the busy road when you exit but able to walk to village in minutes and no issues with parking. Outside space is tiny, but dining area was sunny and comfortable. Only slight annoyance when booking was requirement for refundable deposit which you have to pay £12.50 admin fee in order to have it returned to you! I hadn’t picked that up in the T&Cs. Or you pay a £25 insurance. The host was very responsive.

Nice place, comfy beds, generally very clean, but we found quite a lot of spiders webs. Bathroom light switch probably needs replacing - it occasionally switches itself off at inconvenient moments. Kitchen is quite well stocked with equipment. Lack of parking space is easily manageable with plenty of on road spots. Warkworth itself is lovely. Communication was proactive and clear. Overall an enjoyable stay in a nice spot.

The property is well equipped and comfortable with super comfortable beds and bedding although the bedrooms are at the front of the property and extremely noisy . There is plenty of teas and coffees available and there is a lovely little seating area in the rear porch but little too no out side space to sit out the back. There is some lovely pubs in the village for food and drink with a amazing beach within 20 minutes walk. My only complaint would be the poor state of the cleaning when we arrived the dark floors and sofas had long white dog hairs all over them.

Warkworth is beautiful and this accommodation is lovely and bright, its a great base to explore the surrounding area This is a great space with very comfy beds - the only drawback was the noise of the traffic on the main road, as the bedrooms are at the front. I appreciate that cant be helped, but secondary glazing would improve this. A substantial welcome basket was a very nice touch The agents were clear with their instructions and were very helpful and friendly

Had a lovely enjoyable stay at the blacksmiths. The property is in a great location for exploring Northumberland. The garden looks small in the pictures but is even smaller in person which was not ideal for our dog unfortunately. Otherwise the property had everything we needed for a relaxing break.

Beautiful flat in the stunning village of Warkworth. Clean, well appointed with nice extras/toiletries - welcome basket with tea, coffee, jam, biscuits and Prosecco! Walking distance to the beach and to the pubs! Northumberland is a great place to explore for walks and nice lunches, also very dog friendly. We would recommend and stay again.

Great location! Smaller than it seems on the photos and no parking close by, so perhaps more suited to couples and not families. Also lots of traffic too. But great location, clean and well furnished place. Only thing I’d say is put the key safe next for the front door like you have on all the other holiday stays. But beautiful place on a whole

Lovely stay at The Blacksmiths, cosy & stylish decor, & well equipped, good bathroom. The outdoor space is very small, just enough room for a small table & 2 chairs, and looks out to a shared yard. Nice cosy morning room was lovely. We very much enjoyed Bertram’s cafe breakfast across the road!

We loved our stay and would recommend this property. It was perfectly placed close to town, we had no issues parking on the street round the corner immediately from the house. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Check in was exactly as described and the welcome pack in the house was a lovely touch. The house has everything we needed and was good value for money. Previous reviews about noise on the front of the house were fair, the bedrooms do look into the road and as such there is traffic noise but it wasn’t a huge problem. There is a lovely book exchange to the right of the property which my children loved and swapped a book while we were staying. A lovely place to stay.

Very comfortable apartment in a lovely village. Warkworth is a great base for visiting the Northumberland coast. Easy 35-40 minute walk to Amble meaning we could eat out in the evening and not have to worry about driving. We liked the space and furnishings in the apartment. We had read about the bedrooms being at the front, on the main road, and there was some traffic noise in the mornings, but we live in London so were not very bothered by it. Parking just around the corner in The Butts was no problem at all. Communication was excellent, check-in easy, and some basic groceries were provided, thank you! All in all, we had a great stay.

This apartment was great, good location, free parking nearby, good walks and near shops and pubs. The house has everything you need and we loved the welcome extras. I would stay here again and recommend this house to travellers. Can recommend Bertram’s for weekend dinner and breakfast and Warkworth beach is stunning, a 20 min walk from the house.

A very clean, tidy and well appointed modernised property, only down point is that the bedrooms being at the front suffer from traffic noise, that said I would be more than happy to stay again if available.

fabulous location in the village for walks, pubs and a few shops & cafés. warm & cosy cottage in winter. well equipped kitchen, Comfortble beds with cosy clean bedding, but note traffic noise from the main road through Warkworth as the bedrooms at the front. Good central point to also visit rest of Northumberland.

Overall this was a pleasant stay. Check in really easy. Property was adequate for all our requirements and has good location for all amenities. Bedrooms are at the front of the property which is situated on a main road. Whilst we were concerned of a disturbance thru the night with traffic noise, this actually wasn’t a problem. Traffic really quietens down in the evening. We had no trouble parking on The Butts but it is a quiet residential street so be aware that you may have a 5 minute walk back to the property. The local store also closes fairly early so this is something else to be aware of should you need supplies.

Great ground floor apartment. Good facilities, stylish apartment and the location is fantastic with beautiful beach access less than a mile away, wonderful walks around Warkworth and a good location for exploring the Northumberland coast. Loading and unloading the car was a bit tricky without being able to park directly outside the apartment but once inside we really enjoyed the stay. Appreciated the good and clear communications and the bread and supplies left to get you started.

High quality, stylish, clean and comfortable accommodation, with some nice welcome touches. Good communication with the agency and an easy check in process. The village of Warkworth is pretty, although you need to go to nearby Amble for most supplies. A central base for discovering Northumberland though. A few things would have made it a better experience for us. The description doesn’t spell out clearly that it’s a ground floor flat on a main road. I would have appreciated knowing in advance that there’d be noise from passing cars and the people upstairs. Builders were also drilling and banging next door when we were there, although I imagine that’s temporary. The description says the bedrooms are on the ground floor, but that could also suggest a maisonette or a small house. I’d have welcome a more accurate description. It also that the kitchen was fully equipped, but it didn’t have a dishwasher. That combined with the fact there were 6 small cups between 4 of us made that aspect feel more like camping, unfortunately. I think most people would prefer not to have to wash up by hand, especially in quite expensive accommodation. I’d recommend installing a dishwasher or being clear about this issue in the description, so people know in advance. The bedrooms are at the front on the ground floor so anyone walking past can see straight in. It would benefit from either a privacy film on the window or voiles, as it would enable you to open the curtains. Both bedrooms are very dark otherwise. There is a washing machine but no dryer function. We’d have welcomed that as it was difficult to get the towels dry between uses. It was a nice place: very tastefully done out and comfortable, but I feel I should point out these things out, as we’d have appreciated having a fuller picture in advance.

We had a fantastic stay at the blacksmiths. The location of the flat is ideal to explore the Castles and beaches of the Northumberland coast. The beaches are amazing and only a 15 min walk from the flat. The Flat has everything you need for your stay. Very nice to have a loaf of bread and milk in the fridge on arrival.
