“Beautiful location, very near to amazing beaches.”

- Mrs Turner, September 2021
Mrs Robson June 2021

“The listing fails to put across the spaciousness of the property so a very pleasant surprise when we arrived.”

Quiet surroundings, lots of birdlife and excellent for our first holiday with our 10 week old grandchild. The Apple Inn serves excellent food and drink just a pity that it was difficult to get a table due to Covid restrictions.

- Mrs Robson, June 2021
Mrs Astbury May 2021

“Fabulous cottage in a beautiful village lovely pub within walking distance great location for visiting the coast and Scottish borders, cottage was excellent everything you needed will definitely return.”

- Mrs Astbury, May 2021
Mrs Henderson April 2021

“This is an extremely comfortable cottage to stay in and so well provided.”

Definitely one of the best we have stayed in over many years of self catering holidays. The provision of a homemade lemon drizzle cake is an added luxury! Highly recommended

- Mrs Henderson, April 2021
Mr Gott October 2020

“Fantastic cottage everything you need is there for you to use, just like being at home lovely fresh bed linen ,nothing has been forgotten ,also a lovely touch was a lovely cake for us on arrival and milk In the fridge and ice ready in the freezer .”

Dog friendly our little Toy Poodle Ozzy

- Mr Gott, October 2020
Mrs Barker September 2020

“What a great place to stay.”

The cottage is immaculate and beautifully situated in a quiet location. Very comfortable and spacious with everything needed for the perfect stay. It was ideally placed for access to Bamburgh (stunning), Anwick, Berwick on Tweed to list but a few. Try Cocklawburn beach for beautiful scenery, lovely coastline and a bit of fossiling! Make sure you stock up on food etc as there is only a small local shop with limited choice, but handy when you run out of the essentials. We had a lovely meal at the local pub, The Apple Inn, which is also dog friendly, so an added bonus for us. We would highly recommend this property.

- Mrs Barker, September 2020
Mrs Painter August 2020

“Cottage was comfortable, roomy, well appointed and spotlessly clean.”

The attention to detail was first class. Would certainly return to this cottage. Well enclosed outdoor space, no worries about the dog getting out. Very easy to get to from the A1 and good base for traveling around.

- Mrs Painter, August 2020
Mrs Jenkins August 2020

“Vicarage Cottage was welcoming and spacious - we felt as though it had been thoroughly cleaned prior to our stay.”

Welcome tea, milk and cake was provided, and changes of towels and bedding for our two week stay. Communication with the owner regarding arrival instructions etc was clear and helpful. The cottage is well located for visiting the local area and there are many beaches, castles and other attractions within an easy drive. The neighbouring property has donkeys living behind that we enjoyed feeding the odd carrot! The location was extremely peaceful. If you enjoy visiting historical places it's worth joining English Heritage as there are loads of their venues in the area. There is a pub/restaurant a moments walk across the road and an even nicer one only a few minutes drive away at Warenford.

- Mrs Jenkins, August 2020
Mrs Rees July 2020

“Fiona the host was really helpful and reassuring given the uncertain times.”

The cottage was spotless and we noticed a lot of attention to detail. Fresh flowers and pot plants show care and brings the place alive for guests. Very comfy beds. The whole place was well insulated so I expect a winter visit would be just as enjoyable. Excellent location for accessing coast. Top marks!

- Mrs Rees, July 2020
Dr Ogle July 2020

- Miss Jessop, September 2019
Mrs Hack August 2019

“The cottage was very clean and comfortable.”

The homemade cake and milk in the fridge when we arrived were much appreciated. The location is very convenient for trips to Holy Island, Berwick, Bamburgh, Seahouses and Alnwick. The only small grumble (nothing to do with the property itself) was that the local footpaths in and around Lucker are very over grown which meant the only option for early and late dog walks was along the road.

- Mrs Hack, August 2019
Mrs Radovanovic July 2019

“Amazing cottage in an ideal location!”

Quality fittings and appliances that met all our needs. Lovely lady who answered all my questions before we arrived. The album in the cottage that shows the renovations really shows the hard work put in.... Really will be coming back! Thank you

Lucker is an ideal location if you want to visit all the stunning beaches along this coast.My dog loved the holiday as much as we did as the beaches are very dog friendly! If we visit this area again will certainly choose Vicarage Cottage.

- Mrs Kirk, August 2018
