Pintail Apartment Bamburgh

Very Good
Traveller Type:
  : Location was spot on for Bamburgh Castle & Holy Island etc with a warm & cosy apartment to return to after a blustery walk.
  : Kitchen facilities needed updating - new hob & grill would be beneficial.

  : Breakfast was a nice touch.
  : The apartment and car parking needed better external lighting. I could not see the apartment name or number, we arrived in darkness. Bathroom door sticking as it needed either replacing or adjustment. Had to replace 4 ceiling light bulbs in kitchen and bathroom, fittings were loose and did not always connect when bulbs were inserted. 2 or 3 bulbs out on stairs, did not replace those. Front door sticking, needed a trim at the bottom. Shower fittings needed replacing, they were loose. External door and windows needed painting.

Wonderful
Traveller Type:
  : Quiet setting easy walk to the beach and village

  : Location
  : Parking should have been a designated bay but this was already in use until our last day. Not a major problem as we could park out the front but not ideal.The property was very dark in the kitchen and lounge area as ceiling lights were missing and needed replacing

Very Good
Traveller Type:
  : A clean, well-equipped, spacious and comfortable apartment and a great base to explore the local area, with Holy Island, Alnwick and Seahouses all only a short drive away. Pintail is situated on the outskirts of Bamburgh in a quiet location, with private off-road parking, yet barely 5 minutes walk to the castle and beach and even closer to local cafs/tearooms and some great restaurants - we ate in the Lord Crewe, the Middle Inn (formerly the Castle Inn) and the Potted Lobster, all of them excellent. Communications regarding the booking and the apartment, both by phone and email, were very good - friendly and helpful and, unusually, all with the owner, Judith, personally and the welcoming wine and chocolates were very much appreciated.
  : The front door was open unless locked with the key, so we felt a second key should be provided for use when leaving the property separately
