Warkworth Hotels with Gym

This is a lovely lodge with great character. It's a great place to stay if you have a blended family and can't fit in a typical motel room, as the rooms are accessesed internally inside the main building. The hosts are wonderful, Michelle the Manager was so helpful and really worked with me to find a solution for some very last minute accoommodation we booked. Some rooms have their own kitchens, others share internal kitched and lounge facilities, which are are gorgeous, spacious and well looked after. There is a pool, spa and BBQ area. This location is a very convenient location to so many nearby tourist spots. There are great restaurants and shops in Warkworth, and the town has a lot of history and is beautiful by the river.

We were almost put off when we arrived to check in. It was the WORST check in experience I’ve ever had. I was made to feel as if I was putting the person (Nick?) out. There was No welcome, No smile and the registration form was thrown across the counter at me. When I asked for a room on the ground floor I was made to feel as if it was a Huge inconvenience. However our room was lovely and the bed was super comfortable. After our checkin experience we looked for somewhere else to eat, however nothing elsewhere appealed and we returned to the hotel to check out the menu. Thankfully more Welcoming staff had come on to work and they were great.

It was a relaxing weekend surrounded by beauty and the Tui 7 villa was well set up and amazingly comfortable. The facility is of a top standard with all the amenities and luxuries one would expect in a 5-star hotel, and we didn't need to ask for anything to be provided. The check in was seamless and the food at the nearby Plume restaurant was delicious as were the wines and the whole ambience of the place magical including the landscaping and lighting. A place well worth spending time in to relax and unwind especially with the autumn colours surrounding us.

I feel sad to have to write this review about an establishment I have visited many times, and have wonderful memories of. But time has not been good to the Woodhouse Lodge. Let me start by saying the staff, and restaurant are amazing. There can be nothing but praise for those areas of the business. The same cannot be said for the Lodges. We were put in what I can say was a chalet in need of TLC. I have stayed in far classier Best Westerns. Our introduction to Chalet 9 was ants walking across the desk in the room. It was quickly followed by an interesting battle for control of the gas fire in the room with our neighbors who, in turning their fire on, constantly turned ours on, too. Coming back from dinner then arriving back yo a sauna of a room was interesting, to say the least. The bathroom floor was flooded when we arrived, caused no doubt by the missing shower door. The famed Spa bath was broken, taped up in a very interesting fashion, but clearly powered up. The shower area needed a deep clean and had interesting deposits over it. As I said, the restaurant for dinner was wonderful, and breakfast was great. It is such a shame to have the experience ruined by things that could be solved so easily.
