This good size holiday home is ideal for couples or a small family with a south facing rear sitting-out area which is fully enclosed and catches the sun until evening. This comfortable holiday home has plenty of space for four and reflects a coastal theme throughout. A walk along the pier is always pleasant with some lovely sunsets to finish off your day. Amble has some bespoke shops, plenty of cafes, fish and chip shops and a highly acclaimed Italian Style Ice Cream Parlour all within easy walking distance.
A pleasant walk along the river brings you to Warkworth about 2 miles, a picture postcard village with the castle sat at the top of the hill, stop off in one of the friendly pubs or cafes. Further along the coast you come to Craster, Seahouses and Bamburgh all steeped in history and lovely for a few hours exploring. A little further past here you can cross the causeway and visit Holy Island for a step back in time experience. The railway station at Alnmouth is only a few minutesā drive where you can hop onto a train to Edinburgh or Newcastle and spend a great day exploring these historic cities steeped in history.
Alnwick is only 15 minutes away with its majestic castle used in some harry Potter and Downton Abbey scenes, a great experience for both adults and children. Look around the small town exploring the cobbled streets and shops. The beaches up the Northumberland Coast aonb remain unspoilt and underpopulated so there is always a place to find some seclusion should you wish, Cresswell and Druridge Bay beaches remain isolated most of the time and are only a short drive south. Whilst in Northumberland why not take a trip over to Hadrianās Wall for a completely different day trip away from the coast and discover more about the Romans and the famous Roman Wall. Beach 1 mile.

Had a lovely stay at this holiday cottage in Amble. Upon arrival, the property was clean and comfortable throughout. We were pleasantly surprised by how spacious the downstairs layout felt, giving everyone (including our pets) plenty of room to relax. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay, and the beds are comfortable.The location is ideal for exploring Amble's harbor and shops on foot. A massive highlight for us was the safe, enclosed garden, which gave us total peace of mind with our dogs. We would highly recommend this cottage and will definitely look to book again

Seaside retreat is a very clean, roomy cottage with nicely thought out decor. The location is good in that itās so handy for everything but it is on a very busy road which means you can hear traffic noise in master bedroom and living room. The attic room is quiet though and we found all of the beds to be comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay but we were pleased there was a choice of bedrooms.
