First time in a lodge, was a very lovely lodge with fantastic communal areas , it was also dog friendly, the staff were very helpful and friendly , going out of their way to solve an issue for me, for which I was very grateful, I had a wonderful stay there and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Warkworth.

Quiet, friendly, very clean and situated in a nice small town but (and I'm not sure whether this is a positive or a negative) a wee bit like being back in the 1970s.

We are very sorry that this has happened and disrupted your stay here with us. We really appreciate your honesty and hope you come back when your in our area again.
What a fantastic place. The family room was awesome and the shared kitchen lounge area is wonderful. The pool and spa were enjoyed by our party. Plan on staying again in summer so we can really make use of the lovely bbq area. Hosts were lovely and really looked after us. Loved this place.

Not much on-site parking. Had to park on the road. Didn’t feel safe going to the car at night, being out on the road.

A really nice place to stay. We had a wonderful friendly and helpful greeting from the lovely Michelle. The room was basic but exact what we needed. Would stay again. Would be a great place for a girls weekend or hen party.

Thank you for your response. It was a delight to have hosted and meet you. We do hope the rest of your holiday was amazing
Mold throughout the entire room! The bathroom was bloomed out with mold so bad that the ancient wallpaper was peeling off exposing more mold and mildew! The shower curtain needed cleaning as it was moldy/ mildewy. The frint drapery was moldy all over the backing. Th cleaning in general lacked big time. We shoukd have left immediately when we arrived as the pool was nonfunctional and maintenance was non-existent! Way overpriced fir a sh#! hole.
