About this property
This charming, semi-detached ground floor apartment is located just moments from the harbour in the bustling town of Amble, close to the Northumberland Coast AONB, where you will find endless beaches and unspoilt landscape scenery. Boasting a high-tech Google Home system (units in main room, kitchen and bedroom) to control the heating (via Nest), USB wall charging sockets in every room, voice controlled multi-coloured lighting and TV with a bright and airy feel throughout, this is the ideal getaway for families or friends. You can fully relax in the living room with a rewarding hot drink as you overlook the high street, or tune into the Smart TV and catch up on all of your favourite shows streamed through Now TV. Gather around the dining table in one corner of the room, which can easily fit six, and catch up on the day you've just had as you tuck into a tasty meal cooked up in the modern-style kitchen. Each of the double bedrooms are well-appointed with bedside tables, plenty of space to stow away your belongings and a fresh feel welcoming you after a long day exploring the area. There is even a double pull out sofa bed in the lounge, ideal for having an extra guest to stay over. Finally, the shower room boasts a large walk-in shower cubicle, allowing you to get ready each morning in style. To the exterior is off-road parking at the rear on a first come, first served basis, however you are within paces of all the local amenities within the town centre. Choose from an assortment of eateries and pubs and welcome that well-earned pint after a bracing walk along the coast. Stroll to the harbour and watch the fishing boats coming in and out, visit the Harbour Village and find a plethora of art, craft and gift stalls, as well as places to grab a bite to eat. Enjoy a picnic in summer on the open grassland at Amble Braid and catch a boat to Coquet Island to spot a wide variety of birds and other wildlife, along with its 80ft-high lighthouse. Warkworth is also well worth a trip to see its castle, as is the charming market town of Alnwick, while the Northumberland Country Zoo offers a wonderful day out with the kids. 33 The Wynd is a superb retreat near the sea.
The seaport of Amble is situated at the mouth of the River Coquet and is an ideal place for exploring Northumberland. This town offers a marina, a harbour, beaches and coastal walks to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and country park at Druridge Bay. The villages of Alnmouth and Craster are only a short drive away, whilst Warkworth with its castle, Alnwick and the National Trust’s Wallington Hall and Cragside are all within easy reach.

There have been minor improvements. We would stay again but not sure we would book through Sykes. Only control we had over the central heating was to turn it down. There is an electric fire in the living room which we used. Grill pan needs replacing. A lot of noise from the flat above but not intolerable. Sykes told us rent had not been collected on the due date and our booking would be cancelled if we didn't pay immediately. This was confirmed with a phone call. We paid but when our card statement came in they had charged us twice and refunded a few days later. No compensation was offered.

The beds were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The apartment has really effective central heating and all controlled by google. The door lock is also a smart lock which was easily worked out. Although all the technology was lost on the older member of our group! The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen including a washing machine and a dishwasher. The owners even left us some milk and a little welcome basket including bread and biscuits for our arrival. There were also several little bottles complimentary shampoo and conditioner. Even a vase of flowers in the front room. However the kitchen wasn't particularly clean, we had to wash several things before use and the washing up bowl under the sink was filthy! The dining room table clearly hadn't been cleaned after the last use and when retrieving a lost toy from under the sofa it was obvious that hadn't been hoovered in some time. Some parts of the apartment are quite tired. The window frames are in need of a really good clean. Being a downstairs apartment there are occupants upstairs and at times there was a lot of noise. Check out time was 9am which we were obviously aware of at the time of booking but it is a little early.
