The house inside was excellent , the location again excellent , although on a busy road and parking was difficult 😳. Downside the yard was dirty and overgrown with weeds . Couldn’t sit out because of that reason . Wouldn’t take much to power wash it and spray the weeds occasionally 😳and wipe the window sills down maybe a lick of paint wouldn’t go a miss .

The cottage was well situated to explore the surrounding areas of Amble. Near to shops and the harbour. The harbour was an excellent place for drinks, food and seaside gift shopping.
