Mary Rose Cottage, Cotswold Lodge, Eastfield, Warkworth, Northumberland, NE65 0YE

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.

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.

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!

Highly recommend, Excellent, plenty of space, very clean, good facilities. Plenty of space on the site, car parking for at least 2 cars. Location ideal for exploring local villages, beaches and National Trust, English heritage sites.

Quiet and peaceful site, ideal for unwinding from hectic life.

Comfortable wooden lodge very spacious rooms throughout, pleasant outlook even see the sea in the distance! Close to Warkworth local shops and couple of miles to Amble with more shops. Beach at Alnmouth and railway station about 5 miles away. Garden area in front of property suitable for children of all ages to play. Dishwasher not working while we were there but made aware of this when booking so no problem, overall very pleasant property in convenient location of beautiful Northumbria.

We enjoyed our week in the cottage. It was a good base from which to explore Northumberland.
