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. ##### Dawn S. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Steven W. 5 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy 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). ![Outdoor space with rusty chairs.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/001942af-fa7d-43b5-a9e6-fe27a885b340-1749141242775.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Steven W.
