About this property

Offering tasteful and well-presented accommodation all on one level, Summerfold enjoys a peaceful setting on the outskirts of delightful Warkworth in Northumberland. The ideal holiday home for a family or small group of family and friends, the property has an inviting sitting room complete with comfy seating, an ornamental fireplace and patio doors leading outside, helping to bring light into the room. The spacious kitchen/diner is fully fitted with everything needed to produce delicious food for the family and there is a stylish dining area all set up ready for guests to enjoy long and leisurely meals together. The outside space is a particular feature with landscaped areas, a summerhouse and a patio area; you can imagine spending many happy holiday hours here soaking up any sunshine and enjoying time alfresco. All that fresh air will have tired everyone out so when it’s time for bed guests can choose from three attractive bedrooms including a master with en-suite facilities and two additional bedrooms and a shower room completes the accommodation. In the morning you can wake up raring to go with the delights of coastal and rural Northumberland on the doorstep. The bustling village of Warkworth is close by, which is known for being home to the dramatic ruins of a 12th century castle. Its link to the past continues with the village’s selection of antique shops and galleries and it also has a beach and a golf course. Attractions in the area worth visiting include Hadrian’s Wall, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island, the Farne Islands and Alnwick Gardens. Other beaches nearby worth packing a bucket and spade for include Alnmouth, Cresswell, Embleton and Newton Haven. Summerfold is an attractive single-storey cottage in a beautiful coastal setting which promises guests an enjoyable holiday.

Lying in the loop of the River Coquet on the Heritage Coast, Warkworth is a picturesque village, dominated by the dramatic ruins of its 12th century castle. The history of the village and the castle are intertwined with the Percy Family who took over the castle in 1332. The Percys’ other home is nearby Alnwick Castle, most recently associated with Harry Potter as the film location of Hogwarts School. The main street is lined with Georgian and early Victorian houses and there is an exceptional range of galleries, antiques shops, a village shop/Post Office, pubs, restaurants and gift shops to suit all tastes. Warkworth has its own stretch of sandy beach and a 9 hole pay and play golf course. Also within easy touring distance are Hadrian’s Wall, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island, the Farne Islands, several wonderful beaches and Alnwick Garden with its remarkable water cascade and Tree House Restaurant.

    It is in an ideal position to see Warkwork and the surrounding area.

    ... We "bought" into the photos advertised but these are far from a true reflection of the property. We simply didn't get what we paid for. The premises has had a lick of paint but is long overdue an overhall, a new kitchen and appliances is a must. Upon arrival the dishwasher was full of stagnet smelly water we were unable to use it during or stay. The microwave and oven don't work properly (this has been noted in guest book since July last year! The wooden kitchen bench, sink and drainer is rotten, black and full of mould and bacteria. The plinth below sink kept dropping down. Crockery, dirty chipped etc. Mould and rust in bathrooms. A noisy plastic roof in one of the bedrooms. Overgrown messy garden, no courtyard space as per photos. I have dozens of photos reflecting the true condition of the property but unable to upload here. On the plus side bedding & towels were pristine, location was good. We left the premises before check out day.

    Distinct shortage of teaspoons. Procedure for opening garage roller door could have been made clearer. Otherwise no problems.
