Situated at the mouth of the River Coquet, the bustling little seaport of Amble is an ideal place for exploring Northumberland. Amble offers a new marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and coastal walks though what was historically a centre for boatbuilding. Landing a variety of fish, prawns, crabs and lobsters, the large fishing boats which moor along the harbour wall stock the local harbour fish shop meaning that visitors can enjoy a variety of freshly caught seafood. With the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and the country park at Druridge Bay, this is an excellent spot for bird watchers and nature lovers. Coquet Island - an rspb reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks – is also very close by and boat trips can be arranged.

Helpful, friendly and welcoming owners. Easy parking outside the house on the road. Excellently located for exploring Amble and accessing town facilities. Ideal accommodation for our short winter break in beautiful Northumberland.

The cottage is very cosy & was decorated with a lovely Xmas tree. The owners had thought of everything as it is very well equipped & we had everything we needed. It is very central with the shops & harbour just a few minutes walk. Thank you to the owners for the Xmas gifts too. We would recommend to others
