Guests say
Bullfinch cottage in Lucker is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its spaciousness, comfortable beds, and private outdoor space. Its proximity to local amenities and attractions like Bamburgh and Alnwick adds to its charm. Guests appreciate the modern amenities, including Wi-Fi and TVs in all bedrooms, and the thoughtful welcome box. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, but overall, guests highly recommend the property and express a desire to return.
Cleanliness
Most guests found the cottage to be clean, with one mentioning it was 'really clean'. However, one guest felt the cleanliness was only 'OK' upon arrival and had to clean a few things before use. This suggests a generally high standard with room for improvement.
Location
The location is highly praised for being quiet yet within walking distance to local amenities, and a short drive to Bamburgh and the coast. The proximity to a pub and restaurants is also appreciated, indicating a very desirable location.
Comfort
Guests have highlighted the comfort of the beds and the overall accommodation. The presence of a super king bed and ensuite power shower were positives, although some mentioned creaky floorboards, which slightly detract from the comfort.
Facilities
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with modern amenities and plenty of space. However, some guests noted issues with toilet flushing and a need for some TLC in decor, suggesting that while facilities are good, there is a need for maintenance.
Thoughtfulness
The mention of a welcome box indicates thoughtfulness, and guests felt well catered for. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this score reflects the positive reception of the gesture without setting an expectation.
