We had a wonderful week at Rok House. The instructions for getting to the parking were great, although it's a little tight getting in and out, particularly as we had snow whilst we were there.The house was really clean and surprisingly warm in the open plan kitchen/diner/family space. As there were only 2 of us, we didn't use the front room at all. There was everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare and serve meals, but we had to move picnic stuff to make room in the cupboards for our food.Amble is a lovely small town, with everything we needed. Buses run regularly to Morpeth and Alnwick and there's lots to see and do nearby by car. Highly recommend Bamburgh Castle, Cragsides & Wallington. Walk into Warkworth, visit the castle and coffee at Bertram's. Jaspers in Amble is great for a special occasion and live music at The Lounge was wonderful. Lobster & prawns from the Lobster hatchery were excellent value on Sunday afternoon.

A lovely house in a great location. A few minutes walk from Amble town and harbour. Lovely places to eat locally and a nice little range of independent shops. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage. Great location close to Amble centre. Tight parking space, so you need to be able to reverse! Whilst the owners can’t do anything about it we had an issue with a neighbour smoking weed in the late night time so had to keep the windows closed
