Mary Rose Cottage has been decorated, furnished and fitted to an exceptional standard, and provides large and airy living accommodation with a comfortable feel.

Area
Visitors to Warkworth can't escape the imposing ruins of Warkworth Castle â€“ you can see them from pretty much anywhere in the village. Constructed to protect the inhabitants from marauding Scots and other ne'er-do-wells, the 12th Century ruins have found more recent fame as the location for Hogwarts School in the popular Harry Potter films; if you're staying in the area it might be a good chance for you to practice your Quidditch skills! While its origins may lie in the middle ages, Warkworth's most distinctive architecture is Georgian and Victorian, the pretty main street lined with charming shops, restaurants and cafÃ©s. There are plenty of attractions nearby to keep all ages amused from the bird watching haven of the Farne Islands to Alnwick Gardens and it's huge tree house.

Region
Northumberland is a heady combination of fishing villages, market towns, sandy beaches, magnificent castles and historic Hadrian's Wall, tied together by beautiful countryside and abundant wildlife.

This cottage is such a great find. It had everything we needed and more. Plenty of space, we ended up coming as a 4 instead of 6 due to personal circumstances but if we'd come as a 6 we'd still have found it spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was spotless and well equipped with loads of cupboard, fridge and freezer space, the bedrooms were a generous size with plenty of storage. There were loads of thoughtful extras such as high chair and travel cot, games, books and dvds. The location is fantastic, a short drive from spectacular coastline and beautiful beaches. We had limited reason to contact the host (such as needing a fish and chip shop recommendation!) but her responses were immediate, friendly and helpful. We would definitely book again.

Good location and light and airy and plenty of space. Near so many places of interest but obviously still in lockdown and a lot shut. But this where the positives of this property end I am afraid. It was not cleaned, greeted with dead bluebottles on the bookcases on arrival. The toilet was dirty and I cleaned within 5 mins of arriving. The mats were filthy full of grass, fluff and never seen a vac over them. The oven was dirty and greasy. Left over dinner remains on the crockery. The bathroom and general property was full of cobwebs, the extractor in the bathroom didn't work and neither did the tap on the bath. Silicone was coming away on the bath. The boiler kept tripping out on us, there was a note to say "Due to rural location boiler will trip" and instructions on how to reset. The boiler door fell forward on you and was dangerous. I asked the man in the next property how he was coping with the boiler problem and he didn't have any problem. So Mary Rose needs a new boiler. The gutter over the double bedroom leaked badly and created a waterfall over the window. Garden furniture that was shown on the booking photo was at the back of the property and slimy and dirty and never been cleaned for guests arriving and sitting out. The floor in the lounge was dirty and needed a good mop. The spec on the property said finished to a high standard, well maybe it was at one time but not now. We were told extra cleaning would be done due to Covid 19!!! I could carry on but on the whole the property was tired, shabby and dirty and extremely disappointing which was such a shame as our first holiday since lockdown and we were looking forward to a property of "High Standard". Not good for Sykes Cottages renting a property out like this, it lets them down as a Company.

Lovely tranquil spacious three bedroomed property, a couple of miles outside Warkworth at Eastfield Hall.. This was our second visit, the last one being 10 years ago. The property has been well maintained and is ideally suited to see the best of the Northeast. We are members of English Heritage and National Trust and were able to make the most of our memberships, visiting Warkworth Castle, Warkworth Priory, Hadrian's Wall sites at Chesters and Corbridge, Cragside, Lindisfarne, Wallington, Brinkburn Priory and Edlington. Last time we visited we went to the Farne Islands, Banburgh Castle, Alnwick Castle and up to Berwick. The grandchildren also loved time spent on the local beaches. A great holiday... I am sure we will return again.

Lovey cottage in an excellent location. Very warm and spacious and well equipped. Large garden area, ideal for outside living in warm weather and a small conservatory to relax in and watch the night sky, weather permitting. Near to all the lovely spots Northumberland has to offer. Nearest village is Amble, 2 miles, with some excellent local shops and a couple of small supermarkets. There is a very good Sunday market on the quayside with loads of bargains.

We are repeat visitors to Mary Rose Cottage.. The setting is beautiful, location is great for beaches, castles and N.T & English Heritage sites. Excellent for families as spacious and uncluttered. In fact we would be hard pressed to find a better space for the 5 of us. It is starting to look a little worn in places externally, but is in good condition inside. We will be back!

Really lovely spot in glorious countryside.. The cottage was really spacious with plenty of room for a family.It was very well equipped but found the beds a little uncomfortable. Furnishings a little dated. We had a really wet cold week but the cottage was really warm. Lovely lawned area to the front, where we sat and watched the visiting hares and hedgehogs. A super place for lovers of the country.

Mrs Canavan

I have done a 5* trip advisor already.. We were very happy with everything and would like to return next year with our grandchildren.

Madeline C

Well situated spacious lodge near to Warkworth and Amble with a beautiful beach nearby. We had everything to hand we could need plus games, magazines and DVD's for a family if required. We hope to return next year with our grandchildren! This is a real gem and we would highly recommend it to anyone who loves the countryside whilst being close to the lovely village of Warkworth with its castle, shops, restaurants and cafes. Many thanks for a very enjoyable stay!

Great location..

Mr Burden

August 2018

The property is larger than we expected with a roomy kitchen/diner/living area and 3 good sized bedrooms and bathroom.. There is a large parking area outside with room for 3 or more cars. To the front of the property there is a large lawned area, ideal for football and other games. It is situated on a quiet, pleasant site with views toward Warkworth castle and the sea beyond. The lodge is well equipped with plenty of crockery, glasses etc. as well as lots of books and DVDs. There was no mention of wi-fi in the property details but there is a router, however the password that was supplied did not work. Two other small gripes were that the boiler did not provide really hot water and there was no "guest book" where previous guests could leave advice about where to visit and places to eat. I would recommend this property and would stay there again if we choose to holiday in this area in the future.

Lovely quiet spot no light pollution so lovely starry nights, sea views over fields. Only 14 lodges well positioned so no overcrowding. two steps up into property no ramps. Open plan living / dining/ kitchen, 2 double and 1 bunk bed. Nice sized bathroom with shower over bath. Large lawned area to front with table and 4 chairs new portable BBQ at back to use. Large porch over front door with a 2 seater in facing into open plan area so you would have to turn it round and block entrance to have sea views. "Finished to a high standard" in the information but that was a while ago . The tv is SMALL and the furniture is a little tired. We had to clean some utensils, dining chairs (food on them) the floor in open plan area needed mopping but could not find one. These few niggles should not put you off a lovely location but in high season it is top price.

Ms Jamieson, June 2012

The wonderful views of coastline.. The use of the garden. Spacious living and dining area. Very good, peaceful and quiet location. The children loved being able to play with a good assortment of toys/games.
