Fairfield House

Wow I must admit to thinking so many excellent reviews meant his was probably a special B&B and they were all correct. This is a large Victorian house on the edge of Warkworth. It has ample off street parking at the front and a stunning terraced garden with a pond at the rear. You enter through a large conservatory with lovely large geraniums, in flower when we visited. The ground floor has a large guests lounge and a dining room plus outside a covered seating area to enjoy the garden. Our room , Morris room, was on the first floor up a large and in imposing staircase. It was spacious with a large double bed, chairs, wardrobe and drink making facilities. Through a door was the en-suite with shower over the bath. The whole place oozed elegance and luxury. To continue with the excellence there were freshly baked cakes in the hall. Breakfast was served in the dining room and you put your order in for the cooked part the night before. On the first morning we both had smashed avocado with small sweet chillies, roast tomatoes and lime. It came with a poached egg but we did not have this. On the second morning we had French toast with compote and maple syrup. Both days the breakfasts were tasty, ample and luxurious. The hosts Mandy and her partner were friendly helpful and made sure we had a comfortable stay with everything we wished for.

We were greeted with a warm welcome by Mandy who offered to help with our luggage. The house was warm and cosy. Mandy then made us a coffee and showed us how the coffee maker in the hall worked. We sat in the lounge downstairs which was beautifully furnished and devoured her home made cake which I wished I had asked for the recipe. We were only here for one night but we will definitely stay again as our room was perfect. Apart from the comfortable bed, the furnishings were very tasteful. Mandy had thought of everything from a sewing kit, cotton wool, lint remover to a corkscrew. The bathroom was enormous and the whole place was warm and relaxing. Breakfast was good, my husband had the full English and I had the toasted bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon. When we return we will definitely have a walk around the beautiful garden, and enjoy the flowers in the conservatory that wraps around the house.

We have been staying in Warkworth and at this beautiful guest house on an annual basis for more than 10 years. There are not enough superlatives to say how fabulous this place is. Stunning house and gardens, amazing bedrooms and bathrooms with every need catered for. All spotlessly clean. The breakfasts are fantastic. Lots of choice, freshly cooked and Mandy’s cakes are to die for. Honestly the standards Mandy sets would put a lot of 5 star hotels to shame. The house is in a quiet area just a few minutes walk from the centre of Warkworth. We’ve already booked for next year!
