Summerfold

In general the cottage was very clean ,spacious and functional but we did find issues with the roof in one of the bedrooms when it rained as the noise kept you awake.

The roof was an extended part of the room constructed from plastic based material.Previous guests had also commented on this issue and others mentioned below. There were some small maintenance issues. In the kitchen, oven gloves or similar needed. In the bathrooms a better supply of toilet rolls especially if the household is full. Gripper rod exposed in the en-suite bedroom, Some light bulbs needed in the main bathroom. The photos need updating as the garden organisation is different and it was messy and needed attention in places. Key lock in operative but we did speak to the owner about this and the other issues mentioned both here and in the visitors book. It just needs more attention to some details. Positives were location, great garage for storage of bikes and practical for dogs. We have stayed in many properties both with yourselves and other companies and hoe that the feedback we give is helpful to both owners , yourselves and guests. Also gripper rod exposed in en-suite. The photos do not match the present layout of the garden and it sadly needed a good tidy. Some lightbulbs missing in the main bathroom. House keeping need to be more generous on a practical note leaving bathrooms supplied with more than one toilet roll on arrival. Oven glove or similar needed in the kitchen.

We had such a great stay at Summerfold.

The property smells fresh and was sparkly clean on arrival. Well equipped with plenty of space. The mattress in the en suite bedroom is a bit uncomfortable ( hence 4 out of 5 stars for comfort), as you can feel all the springs . Enclosed rear patio and garden which is excellent for dogs. Plenty of storage in the large garage for bikes as well. Very peaceful and quiet. I would definitely stay here again

A wonderful stay, brilliant location.

Accommodation very comfortable, warm and cosy, spacious and the enclosed garden perfect for our two pooches.

The property was warm and comfortable and located in a delightful and quiet cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Warkworth.

The well equipped kitchen and dining area was ideal for breakfasts or any meals that we decided to prepare, though the property is within easy walking distance of several excellent pubs and eateries which we used. Only downsides were that one guest found that the mattress was too soft, and we couldn't find an oven glove. Great location for several local walks and within easy reach of super beach walks. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the dogs appreciated the change of scenery. Ample parking for two vehicles and WiFi equipped.

The property was found to be clean, comfortable, spacious and very well equipped.

We had a very enjoyable stay. The property is well situated just on the edge of Warkworth and about 45 minutes walk into Amble. Lots of walks for the dog and a nice beach not far away. Only one suggestion would be to have a table in the lounge to do jigsaw puzzles on, doing them on the carpet is backbreaking - but this is just a personal thing not a criticism.

Lovely house which is warm and well equipped.

Dog friendly with secure back patio/ garden. Love it here

We enjoyed our stay.

There was a issue with the key lock and we had to call the owner to let us in. The only other issue was the heating the radiator made a dreadful noise, they obviously needed bleeding.

The property was ideal for the 6 of us - clean and well decorated - it had all the facilities we required.

Just a 20 minute walk to Warkworth (we know a short cut) It is an ideal family holiday home and who knows we may well be back !

The property was nice.

Well maintained, clean and equipped with everything we needed. Location was on the edge of the village so a good 20 min walk to the amenities (shop, pub, restaurant).

We had an enjoyable stay at Sommerfold.

The property is in a quiet location within an easy walk of the centre of Warkworth, it is well-equipped and comfortable. The only disappointment was the outside space at the rear which we found small and claustrophobic.

Lovely property, in nice area, very comfortable and plenty of room.

On arrival the dishwasher had leaked and was full of suds. The only down side was the beds are very low and the mattresses very soft so we all went home with aching backs. Also the blinds are lovely but the lack of curtains/blackouts in the bedrooms meant it was never dark, and the bedroom with the extension with plastic roof, meant when it rained it was like being in a caravan. Little niggles but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed our stay again.

Well equipped and good parking.Beds are comfortable and we all slept well.Only niggle was the comfort of the seating in the lounge.Spotlessly clean.We always enjoy staying here.Thank you.

Very nice spacious accommodation.

Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Very handy for walking into Warkworth. Great area for getting about in Northumberland. Would stay in this property again.

Lovely bungalow on the outskirts of Warkworth, generally all facilities work well in the home some aspects are showing a little wear but generally no issues.

Parking availability on drive excellent . Would recommend.

Great place to stay would definitely go back,

Well located and comfortable cottage.

The only slight niggles were the garden is very small and the double bedded room has an extension at the front with a clear plastic roof, making it light from early morning. Everything worked fine and we had a lovely week.

A comfortable,well maintained & equipped spacious house within walking distance of the village centre.

Easy parking on the drive and a garage also available. Electric BBQ provided and the summer house is a bonus.

Absolutely delighted with everything about the accommodation, thoroughly recommended.

A very comfortable bungalow- very quiet location but near to some wonderful walks and places to eat.

Superbly equipped, lovely and clean, brilliant!

Lovely family accommodation with easy distance of town centre and beach.

Fully equipped for all our needs. Nice to meet Alan on our arrival.

Summer fold is a lovely property.

Situated in a quiet cul de sac off the main road. Equipped with everything we needed. A safe enclosed patio garden for the dogs.

Overall a nice bungalow.

Short walk to local pubs and restaurants, short bus rides to train station

Lovely refresh of this property had a fab time the sun came out and we had icecream from morwick dairy

Summerfold was a very comfortable cottage to holiday in.

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

Booked Summerford over Christmas and New Year at a premium price and it was absolutely not worth the money.

... 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.

Garden underwhelming - no lawn a drawback.

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

Very spacious in a very quiet location.

Very well located to explore the majestic Northumberland sights,with the glitzy city of Newcastle just a 30 minute drive away.

We enjoyed staying at Summerfold.

It is a comfortable, modern, reasonably spacious house on a small development within walking distance of the village. The area is attractive and interesting with plenty to do nearby. Warkworth is a very attractive village with a fine castle and beach.

This is a lovely holiday house, very clean and comfortable.

We have stayed here several times and have never been disappointed. Heather Grove is very quiet and Warkworth is beautiful. Super beaches are a few minutes drive away and there is a fantastic ice cream shop just up the road.

A gorgeous cottage for our family of 5 and our dog, Hermione.

It was our home from home for the week but we could have easily stayed forever. The cottage is in an ideal quiet, safe location for country and coastal walks, visiting other villages and many other attractions are within easy reach. There were three generations ranging from 73 to 11 and Hermione, 2 and 11 months. The kitchen had everything you need and had a lot of space for us all to easily move around in. The kitchen was well equipped, including a huge fridge and freezer. The bedrooms were all a brilliant size and beds were exceptionally comfy. The lounge, also an excellent size, had very comfy sofas and a great place to unwind after exploring in the day. The bathroom and en-suite had everything you wanted. The shower in the main bathroom was extremely powerful, so don't over do the shampoo! The outside space was all enclosed and was excellent for my dog. The shrubs were a little overgrown but didn't make a lot of difference to us as we didn't sit out. If you did want to sit out there was a lovely table and chairs and a beautiful summerhouse to use. The parking was great for our 2 cars at the front of the house. The neighbours were all very friendly, especially to my dog! We had the best week, in an excellent location and will definitely be going back. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Although the inside of the house looked the same as the photos in the listing, the garden was falsely advised.

The garden on the website showed a summerhouse at the end of the garden with space for the dogs in the rest of it. The summerhouse had been moved (and not recently) and is now in the middle of the garden, leaving no space for the dogs to walk or roam. There are also large overgrown bushes, including rose bushes (again not planted recently) which were not safe for dogs. Very disappointing. Very good location for the area. Would definitely stay in Warkworth again, but not in the same house. .

The property was comfortable and clean, although for our family the location wasn’t quite right.

The garden area is overgrown and feels small when compared to the website photographs, due to the orientation of a large shed/summerhouse and lots of overhanging planting. We had a slight issue with a padlocked tumble drier, however this was quickly resolved by Sykes snd the owner. All in all a nice house in a beautiful area.

Nice cottage in quiet cul-de-sac.

Well positioned to explore Northumberland.

We had everything we needed for our stay.

It was like home from home. A well equipped kitchen, homely lounge, super comfy beds. It's in a great location, handy for days out along the coast and then unwind in a peaceful area. The back garden is a lovely area to unwind. Great that it gets the sun both morning and early evening. We didn't use the summer house as it was very warm when we stayed but it's a nice addition to the garden. The welcome pack was very detailed, but I would suggest leaving details of the bin collection days in the kitchen. We missed it and looking at how full the bins were so had previous occupants. Overall this was a lovely property and if we were visiting this area again we'd definitely book to stay here

Our eventual stay in Summerfold was absolutely fine and the property was good in every way.

So no negative feedback whatsoever to the owners. The booking process however was a fiasco which was both stressful and avoidable. Communication is everything and Sykes have let themselves down badly on two occasions this year. They have not responded positively (in fact not responded at all) to the feedback given and so we will sadly not be booking with them ever again.

Overall very pleased with the cottage and quiet location and just a short walk from the centre of the village.

The only criticism is that we would have liked to use both the tumble dryer and summer house but both were padlocked. Apart from that the cottage was clean and well appointed.

Good location, quiet & undisturbed little cul-de-sac & a lovely bungalow too, spacious & spotlessly clean.

Heating was appreciated in rather cold weather we had too. We had a problem with front door lock which became faulty, but owners quickly dealt with this, in friendly & helpful manner & had tradesman come & replace it. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely spacious immaculate bungalow ,ideal for anyone with mobility issues very quiet but within easy driving of all attractions.

Would take your own hairdryer. Hope to return soon.

Lovely spacious bungalow, clean and comfortable, well equipped with everything needed for our week long stay.

In a very quiet small cul de sac, short walk to the beach and within easy distance to wonderful scenery, beaches and castles. Owners were very helpful during our stay:

Lovely cottage on the outskirts of Warkworth, excellent walking from the door, will need a car to get around if your not capable of walking

Summerfold is a lovely bungalow in a great location, just a short walk from the centre of Warkworth, which is ideally situated to explore the Northumberland coastline and villages.

We stayed over Xmas and the property was very cosy, spotlessly clean and had all the facilities we needed to thoroughly enjoy our stay, We would definitely recommend Summerfold and will hopefully return in the future.

Perfect in every way.

It met all our requirements. Would like to return.

The property was just perfect for us.

Very comfortable and well appointed.

Superb property, excellent base for a holiday in Northumberland.

The garden is completely enclosed so perfect for dogs which was very important for us. Cannot recommend the property highly enough.

The web site sums up the property very well.

People we met were very friendly and helped to make a wonderful holiday experience.

A spacious, homely, well equipped bungalow situated in a very quiet location, yet within easy walking distance of the town and Coquet River.

We stay in Northumberland 2-3 times a year & have done so for many years.

This is one of the best (& most suitable for us) we have stayed in. Beds/sofas very comfy, bathrooms excellent, uncluttered decor, spotlessly clean & in a very quiet area with off-road parking. Dogs very settled there. Would definitely use again.

Very comfortable, spacious and well equipped.

The property was wonderful.

Clean, bright, spacious and in a perfect location

Lovely property.

Very clean and well maintained. An excellent base from which to explore the Northumberland coast.

This is a lovely property, very clean and tidy and ideally located - just on the edge of Warkworth with easy access to the river, village, good walks, beach.

The property easily accommodated 5 adults and 2 dogs. The property owners provided everything we needed and were very helpful. We highly recommend this property and are already looking for dates when we can return.

A comfortable, well equipped property which provides an ideal base to explore the beauty of the Northumbrian coast and is situated in the very picturesque and welcoming town of Warkworth.

The accommodation was perfect for our needs, lovely and peaceful on the outskirts of the village whilst still being easily accessible for the village and walks.

The property provided everything we needed.

Lovely Bungalow, very well equipt and ideally located for a relaxing break and a great base to enjoy all that the Northumberland coast has to offer.

Lovely bungalow in a quiet location just outside Warkworth

We found the property to be warm, cosy and yet spacious, decor good and attractive.

Property was well equipped and very well positioned geographically.

The property was much bigger than expected.

It was spotlessly clean and the owner had thought of everything.
