We had a lovely stay - the location is excellent for shops, restaurants and the harbour/beach. Very comfortable apartment and lovely views across to Warkworth Castle.There is a holiday flat above so there was some noise but it didn't affect our stay. The only thing that would have been useful is a bit more kitchen equipment especially drinking glasses /cups.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and it was ideal as a base to explore Amble.

Everything was really good except for the people in the flat upstairs who all wore hob nailed boots and never kept still from 5:30 in the morning until midnight. Luckily we were out all day but really frustrating when trying to relax in the evenings.

Spacious, comfortable and stylish apartment. Great location near to local shops, eateries and the lovely harbour area. The adjacent green space The Braid was very convenient for walking the dog. Parking was a bit hit and mis, although we always found somewhere, and there is reasonably priced public car park a short distance away. As other reviews have mentioned the sound insulation between the upstairs and downstairs flat is poor.
