I had not pre booked and turned up out of the blue. The host graciously showed me available rooms.
We stayed in the Gold Room which is beautiful and spacious with French doors out onto a patio area.
I would definitely stay there again.

Really enjoyed our stay at this lodge, we had 2 adults and 2 kids, 7 and 3. We got the family attic room 8. Comfy beds, well kept, nice and spacious. We cooked in the large kitchen downstairs which seemed to be almost brand new. The communal living room was large and spacious and stylish and comfy. I watched the Cricket World Cup replays in there on Sky Sports.

The staff were kind and helpful. I feel for the cleaners after a family has stayed, but they lined up the kids toys on the bed and showed some kindness there.

Warkworth is a lovely little town with lights at night by the shore. It has a strong community feel, especially around the wharf as you can see all the individuals and families that have donated to its building. The Sarah Grifford boat there provides some insight in to the past history of the place and shows people have fond memories of the areas past. I really enjoyed the river walk and watching the wildlife at both high and low tide.

We've stayed several times over a few years and always feel so happy to return. The boutique hotel in the historic building is beautiful, the location is excellent, the garden view from the room is relaxing, the huge lounge and kitchen to share is a big bonus, the fire is welcoming and above all the management are warm, lovely, helpful and very informative about the area. We were able to bring our little dog which was a huge bonus. definitely highly recommended.
