Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning its immaculate condition. One mention of cobwebs suggests a minor area for improvement, but overall, the standard of cleanliness is considered to be very high.
The location is celebrated for its quietness and proximity to local beauty spots, making it an ideal retreat. While the rural setting is a plus for many, the mention of narrow roads indicates that accessibility could be a slight concern for some visitors.
Comfort is a standout feature, with guests highlighting the cosy atmosphere, comfortable bed, and the warmth provided by the log burner. The spaciousness of the cottage also contributes to the overall comfort experienced by visitors.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage being well-equipped for a comfortable stay. However, some guests noted the need for attention to the grounds and the presence of a shelf that could be a hazard for taller individuals, suggesting room for maintenance improvements.
Thoughtfulness is evident through mentions of welcome packs and dog treats, which guests found delightful. While these gifts are appreciated, it is noted that such offerings are subject to the owners' discretion and may not be a guaranteed feature of every stay.

Warkworth, located on the Heritage Coast, is a lovely village highlighted by the stunning ruins of its 12th century castle. The Percy Family, who took over the castle in 1332, is entwined with the history of the community and the castle. The second house of the Percys is adjacent Alnwick Castle, which was lately connected with Harry Potter as the film site of Hogwarts School.

Very comfortable and well equipped (even an air fryer and a slow cooker) In an ideal location - very quiet but close to all the amenities. We enjoyed some lovely beach and forest walks with our 2 dogs all within a 30 minute drive
