About this property
Tucked away in the quaint village of Amble, Northumberland, find this charming two-bedroom cottage, Southview Amble. Welcoming four guests and boasting pet-friendly accommodation, close access to the local amenities and the Northumberland Coast AONB, Southview Amble is the perfect abode from which to begin your family getaway. Upon entering your new home-from-home, kick back and relax in the homely sitting room, warming yourself in front of the electric stove-effect fire as your other half rustles up a tasty feast in the well-equipped kitchen. Settle down at the dining table to relish meal times altogether, or step out into the rear enclosed courtyard to savour an alfresco feast as your pooch plays safely. Completing the ground floor is a handy utility room, so you can keep your holiday wardrobe clean no matter how messy your adventures become, as well as a shower room. When the evening draws to a close, retreat to the first floor where you can indulge a relaxing soak in the bathtub before catching your rest in either a double or twin bedroom. Kickstart your adventures at Low Hauxley Beach, a lovely spot to embark on a relaxing stroll, soak in the views or paddle the shores before stopping off at The Amble Inn for some hearty grub. Travelling along the coast, be sure to stop off at Hauxley Nature Reserve and Druridge Bay Country Park, home to expansive sand dunes and a lake, perfect if you’re looking to be at one with nature. In Alnwick, enjoy the Bailiffgate Museum, and Lion Bridge before venturing into the Northumberland Coast AONB to uncover Longhoughton Beach and Howick Hall Gardens and Arboretum. Well-located here to also spend the day in the bustling city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne where you can tour the exhibits of the Life Science Centre, visit the infamous Angel of the North or sample a wide variety of pubs, cafes, restaurants and shops, you’ll never be short of things to see or do. For your next getaway in Northumberland, book a stay at Southview Amble.
Amble, a bustling small harbour at the River Coquet's mouth, is a great starting point for exploring Northumberland. In addition to sandy beaches, a marina, a harbour, and coastal hikes to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and the national park at Druridge Bay, Amble, once a centre for boatbuilding, offers all of these amenities. A variety of fish, prawns, crabs, and lobsters are landed by the large fishing boats that are moored around the harbour wall. On the side of the harbour is a fish centre that sells local fish and is available to the public. It is currently mostly a shellfish hatchery to restock levels of lobster and other shellfish. Coquet Island, an rspb reserve with a sizable population of terns, puffins, and eider ducks, is located one mile south of Amble. Boat tours around the island can be booked. A short drive will take you to attractive Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, charming Warkworth with its castle, and the National Trust's Wallington Hall and Cragside, in addition to a number of excellent beaches and charming coastal villages.

The place is absolutely excellent in every regard. The location is perfect for the beaches and a great area for walking your dog as there is a large green right outside the front door, which leads to the beaches. The added bonus of resident Only Parking is another huge plus, especially for loading and unloading. The property itself is wonderfully set out and equipped. There is everything you could possibly need, a good TV and excellent wifi, comfortable seating, a dining table, a bookcase filled with lots of information about nearby places of interest as well as books and games, a lovely welcome pack with a bottle of wine, milk in the fridge, tea coffee, sugar, condiments etc in an excellent kitchen, a downstairs shower room / toilet, a utility area with washing machine, tumble dryer, mops, buckets, brushes, ironing board and iron, plenty of toilet rolls and cleaning products, a vacuum cleaner in the cupboard under the stairs, a fabulous upstairs bathroom with large bath and large shower, night lights on the landing, THE most comfortable bed in the front bedroom and two large single beds in the second bedroom. Everything was very well maintained and cleaned, I can definitely recommend this property any I hope to return again sometime next year. 11 out of 10.
