This was our fourth time at Walkworth abd first time at the Blacksmiths. Great location, cottage well kitted out and comfortable. Definitely stay there again
Lovely well equipped accommodation. Beds very comfy, great sized kitchen with cozy dinette. Yard small but fenced in for your furry friend. The village is beautiful and perfect for exploring. Definitely recommend!
We are regular visitors to Warkworth . We stayed at the Blacksmiths this time and had a very-comfortable stay.Accommodation was comfortable, fantastic location. Lovely comfortable beds and spacious accommodation.On arrival we had no heating so contacted host and stay and they soon messaged back and problem was resolved.Once heating on , it was lovely and warm. Kitchen only has basic utensils and could be improved . Kitchen lighting even with hob light on was dull and would benefit from brighter lighting especially for preparing food.Comfy lounge and dining conservatory.Would stay there again.

Some clear instructions of where the key box was to get in the place would have been great.
The location of this ground floor apartment is excellent. The decor stylish and accommodation perfect for two plus dog. The private gravel patio is compact at the rear of the property in a shared communal area. Overall excellent base for day trips.

Good communication with the company, Host & Stay & Check in Straightforward. Location great - centre of Walworth by the old bridge. No problems parking on the Butts. Property is as described but in need of a major refresh. The chairs in the outdoor garden space, for example, are rusted and not comfortable to sit on. The smaller of the 2 rooms is uncomfortably hot and having an open window is not really an option as the property is on one level on the ground floor and the window opens onto the Main Street in Warkworth. Bathroom feels like a student bathroom - although the shower is good (as long as the boiler has not lost pressure (needs regularly topping up & lost pressure on first day, leading to a cold shower). Altogether disappointing property in good location. (I was tempted to give it 3* but then a pipe sprung a slow leak and we ended up with wet socks).

Property needs a lot of maintenance, feels uncared for.Hot water almost non existent at all hours of the day. Kitchen laminate had significant gaps in it making walking barefoot uncomfortable.Road noise pretty apparent especially in bedrooms. Black mould and gaps in bathroom sealant. A few sachets of long life milk in the fridge was not very welcoming. The fridge is malfunctioning everything soaking wet on removal.... There were left children's socks and pants in the drawer of the bedroom wardrobe. On positive side good location right next to small green space and river. Parking easy on next door road. It was definitely a 20 minute walk to the beach but it was lovely beach backed by sand dunes. Sofa and bed comfortable and linen clean.Communication with Host and Stay who manage the property repetitive and lacking any individuality to specific property. There seemed quite a focus on the person staying reporting any damage they might have made to the property.
