• "2nd year running staying at this beautiful property."

  We again had no problems with parking on the square. The property is so welcoming , cosy and comfortable. A kind goodie pack to welcome us which is so appreciated. Central for Warkworth places of interest and also The Masons Arms across the square!!! We did have trouble with the tv pixelating and going blank or no sound but my clever hubby eventually sorted it. Might have been the beautiful weather! Lovely shower and everywhere so clean. Thankyou Russell and Tracey we had the best week!!

  Hi .. Thank you so much for your kind feedback.. I wish us as owners could leave a guests review , and you would be 10/10 , Cottage was left immaculate, thank you . The TV problem was actually across the whole of Warkworth, that week there was an outage and the TV signal went down right across the village .. Thank you for retuning and sorting the TV afterwards .. hope to see you again Tracey & Russ Property Owner

• "We had a most enjoyable stay at St Lawrence Rest."

  It is well equipped and ideally located in the centre of Warkworth with pubs, restaurants, cafes and the beach within easy walk, not to mention Warkworth Castle at the top of the hill. Free parking is available close by.

• "A perfect location in the attractive village of Warkworth, with local walks, beaches, sand dunes and nature reserves within easy reach."

  Cycles can be left securely in the private back garden with Warkworth providing a great base camp for cycling the national cycle network route 1, much of which is off road by the coast, or on quiet country lanes. This stylish cottage, in the heart of the village by the church and a few steps from the river, is very well equipped and comfortable to live in. The owners are welcoming and go the extra mile to provide all home comforts and welcome treats to help you settle in. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  Lawrence Rest we knew we had found a special place. The cottage is beautifully appointed, with so many personal touches and absolutely everything you could possibly need. There were welcome gifts in the kitchen, fresh cut flowers and our hosts couldn't have been more helpful. At the rear of the cottage a stunning private courtyard, filled with flowers, made our stay extra special. If you get the chance to stay in this fabulous cottage in the lovely village of Warkworth you should grab it!

• "We have had a wonderful week in this gorgeous cottage."

  Everything has been thought of, with lovely touches everywhere. The furniture is comfortable as are the beds, the shower is fabulous and the kitchen well-equipped. The second bedroom is small, but well thought out, with a chest of drawers and hanging rail. Netflix and reliable Wi-Fi too. Don’t be put off by the thought of the church bells, although audible they did not disturb at all. The village of Warkworth is lovely and we will certainly return, hopefully to St Lawrence Rest.

• "Second visit to this property as we so enjoyed the first."

  Perfect in every way, ideally situated opposite the church. Parking is in the square on a first come basis. Close to the river for leisurely walks and nearby Amble, Alnmouth, and Alnwick not far away and well worth visiting. There is a bus service from the village if you don’t want to drive. Amble is in walking distance. The owners go above and beyond in making this cottage so welcoming from the beautiful furnishings to all the delicious goodies and wine. Everything you could possibly need and more. Warkworth is a lovely village in view of the castle with several pubs, shops and a small grocery shop/post office. Would certainly recommend in every way.

• "Excellent owners who go over and above expectations."

  Previous renter had apparently commented about a mattress and I was asked my opinion, replying I felt it was perhaps time to think about replacing it. Fifteen minutes later I was told one had been ordered for delivery the following day. Obviously they only make the bed so wouldn’t have realised there was a problem. All the thoughtful little extras they supply too are appreciated and the rear courtyard has been renovated to a very high standard since we were there last year. We shall be back

• "We have stayed in many holiday cottages in Northumberland, mostly in Walkworth and the surrounding area."

  This was by far the best cottage we've ever stayed in. It was clean, beautifully furnished, well equipped and had a very comfortable bed. I can usually find something to complain about, but i can honestly say, this time I couldn't!. We will be back! We have to come back anyway because I forgot to leave the parking disk that the owners had kindly provided.

• "Beautiful property in an ideal location opposite the church."

  The owners have gone the extra mile to provide everything you need and more including fresh bread, cereals, butter, milk, juice etc and a bottle of wine on arrival. The cottage is clean, comfortable and very tastefully decorated. Lots of books about the area and fiction to read. TV has prime, Netflix etc. Parking outside in the main square is on a first come first served basis but we always managed to find a space. The castle is a short walk up the hill - well worth a visit and Walkworth surrounded by the river offering lovely walks. There is an excellent bus service to the local towns such as Alnwick or Alnworth and further afield you don’t want to use the car. The village shop and post office were useful for food shopping and there’s a good choice of pubs ( when they open) and other lovely shops. N Trust properties Crag Side and Wallington are an easy drive away and well worth a visit. Will definitely return to Warkworth and this property again.

• "Firstly the cottage was immaculate and very clean, so important in the days of Covid."

  The decor is beautiful, very stylish and in keeping with the location. Good quality linens and furnishings. Lovely touch of wine and breakfast items waiting for us, thank you. The courtyard at the rear is a complete sun trap and a great place to enjoy a glass of wine. The town is very pretty and having the river a few hundred yards away with plenty of seats was a real bonus. Lots of places to visit and the countryside is stunning. The owners, Russell and Tracey, are very friendly and it was a pleasure to stay in their home. The church bells were really only noticeable if you are awake during the night, they didn’t wake us up. If awake, the owls hooting was a welcome sound. We highly recommend this property and would hope to return one day.

• "St Lawrence Rest is one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in."

  The accommodation is warm, spacious, well laid out and well decorated, and the facilities and attention to detail are excellent. The wine and biscuits on arrival were very much appreciated - thanks, Russell and Tracey! The location is very central to the town, with three good restaurant/pubs and the village shop very close by. The village is very quiet at night, and we found the chiming of the church clock quite appealing, and it did not disturb our sleep at all. There is a free car park very close to the cottage which was quite busy (although we managed to park there most days), and further parking by the river, which is very close. There are pleasant walks along the river and down to the beach, and we enjoyed Warkworth Castle, and the nearby town of Alnwick, including the Garden and Castle.

• "A beautiful cottage in a fabulous, central location."

  Very comfortable and well equipped. However I would not recommend nor stay again purely due to the noise coming from the upstairs household. There is a young family and the little boy likes to run up and down the length of the upstairs property 50+ times a day. It is impossible to ignore and very loud. It disturbed us when trying to put my young son to bed and also began first thing in the morning so often woke us up. Not what you want when you have gone on holiday to relax. It is such a shame as everything else was fabulous and I will definitely return to Warkworth.

  I am terribly sorry that you had to encounter some disruption caused by the neighbouring property which under normal circumstances is out of our control. However, you may be pleased to know that we have since purchased this property next door and can assure yourself and our future guests that this should no longer be a concern. Thank you very much for your comments and for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Customer feedback is very important to help us continually improve our standards. Property Owner

• "Although the property is advertised as ground floor accommodation, it would be helpful if the fact that the top floor is permanently occupied by a family had been mentioned."

  We (and some previous residents) found the noise, mostly first thing in the morning unacceptable. The noise began from around 6.30 am to 7.00 am with what sounded like furniture being moved, the toddler running back and forth and obviously dropping toys. OK, so he was just being a toddler but if we'd been aware of occupation in the upstairs we wouldn't have booked this property as inevitably sounds are going to travel through the upstairs floor/ground floor ceiling. It was a shame that we were disturbed by the noise (we didn't even mind the regular church clock chiming although this had bothered a previous holidaymaker) as the cottage itself is cosy and nicely furnished.

  There was wine and biscuits on arrival which was great! We stay in Northumberland every year but this cottage easily had the most comfortable beds. The only point I have to make is that on the picture gallery there is a picture of a garden, so I booked the cottage thinking there would be ample outside area for the kids. However on arrival there is just a small yard. Still lovely though ♥
