This house was just lovely. Very clean and extremely comfortable. Well fitted out with everything required in the kitchen. Loved the fact there was also a downstairs toilet too. Shower and heating worked a treat, was a wee bit chilly while there. Amble is also a lovely location for seeing around Northumberland.

Location-on busy main road which seems to be the area for local boy racers to use at night.Thought this may be a one off due to Friday night but it continued throughout our stay .Parking can be found along road but not great due to volume of traffic speeding past . Not suitable for dogs due to front door opening directly onto very busy road and no outdoor space on the back either.House- smelt really strongly of cooking as soon as we arrived, sofa very uncomfortable and stained.bed small and hard struggled to get much sleep due to comfort and traffic noise.Not cleaned to a high standard dirty cutlery and glasses and generally didn’t feel fresh and clean.We left early fed up of feeling uncomfortable and sleep deprived.Amble is not the pretty quiet little coastal town you’d expect it is noisy,scruffy and has very few nice places to eat or shop.
