This summary has been generated using feedback from guests who have stayed at this property

Pippin is a well-presented cottage in Lucker, appreciated for its spaciousness, cleanliness, and quality furnishings. Guests enjoy the excellent outside space and proximity to a nice pub. While some guests mention a welcoming touch with a bottle of wine, it's noted that this is a kind gesture and not a guaranteed amenity. However, there are concerns about an intermittent odour from the septic tank affecting the enjoyment of the garden and local area.

Cleanliness

The property is consistently described as very clean, with immaculate rooms and well-maintained outdoor areas. The high standard of cleanliness is a recurring compliment among guests.

Location

The cottage is situated in a beautiful location with a nice pub next door. However, the experience is marred by an intermittent odour from the septic tank, which affects the enjoyment of the location.

Comfort

Guests find the furniture and beds extremely comfortable, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, there are minor comments about mattress firmness and the need for a window to be open, which was not possible due to the odour.

Facilities

Facilities are generally excellent, but there are reports of a fridge breaking down and some kitchen items appearing 'tired'. Maintenance issues, particularly the septic tank, have impacted the overall experience.

Thoughtfulness

Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.

Within walking distance is the pretty village of Lucker which offers a whole host of delightful rural walks and hikes which will be rewarded with some great views along the way. Bamburgh is a short drive which is well worth a visit boasting a castle and some fantastic beaches as well as a good selection of shops and eateries. Other towns worth visiting while you’re out and about include Alnwick, Lindisfarne, Alnwick and Berwick and attractions to put on your bucket list include Hadrian’s Wall, Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland Country Zoo, a boat trip to Farne Islands and Cragside House. A charming stone-built cottage full of charm and character, Pippin offers the perfect holiday destination.

The pretty Northumberland village of Lucker lies in the heart of Heritage countryside, midway between the A1 and Bamburgh. The historic coastal village of Bamburgh, with its sweeping beaches and dramatic castle, is only a short drive away with an array of excellent pubs, restaurants and gift shops.
