About this property
A beautiful stone-built cottage resting on the rural outskirts of Amble, Dairyman’s Cottage is an ideal base for a couple for family of three looking to explore the coast and countryside of Northumberland. Be welcomed into a sitting/dining room with quirky wallpaper depicting autumn leaves and here you will also find a dining table for three. The kitchen has ample amenities and is ideal for cooking a heart-warming meal together, and you can enjoy this at an additional table in the kitchen or outside on the patio with a lovely view across the local fields. The property offers two bedrooms with countryside views, including a double with a blue floral feature wall and a twin with tasteful white furniture, as well as a family shower room on the ground floor.
Amble is a beautiful seaside town with loads of amenities and attractions for guests to enjoy, so why not try out one of the tasty eateries and explore the independent shops before visiting the local harbour or trying out a riverside walk? Immerse yourself in the local wildlife with a visit to Hauxley Nature Reserve, or there is the option of boat trips to Coquet Island, an RSPB nature reserve located just off the coast. Travel a little further from the property and you will find the historic town of Warkworth, where there is the ruins of a fascinating castle and a sandy beach.
Explore the wonders of Northumberland with a stay at Dairyman’s Cottage.
The bustling little seaport of Amble is situated at the mouth of the River Coquet and is an ideal place for exploring Northumberland. Historically a centre for boatbuilding, Amble offers a marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and coastal walks to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and country park at Druridge Bay. Large fishing boats moor along the harbour wall and land a variety of fish, prawns, crabs and lobsters. There is a fish centre on the side of the harbour that is now primarily a shell fish hatchery to re-stock levels of lobster and other shell fish, this sells local fish and is open to the public. A mile south of Amble is Coquet Island, an rspb reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks and boat trips around the island can be arranged. The pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster and numerous superb beaches are only a short drive away, whilst picturesque Warkworth with its castle, charming Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, and the National Trust’s Wallington Hall and Cragside are all within easy reach.
