"Cosey Cottage definately lives up to its name, absolutely charming, imaculately clean, beautifully decorated and situated in a most peacefully quiet corner of Amble town. Set beside the owners property, this self catering holiday home has everything you could possibly need throughout your stay.Lisa & Neil will show you around and introduce you to the absolute jewel in the crown....the heated swimming pool and sauna! We used this almost every day, amazing! Parking is secure and right outside the cottage door, reversing is best, and their are alternative spaces always available so not a problem. Amble town & arbour is a very short walk away, with some nice shops, restaurants and a couple of decent pubs. If you chose to venture further afield, then your in for a treat, with some stunning beaches and castles withing only a few miles drive.One of our best holidays so far and some of the best peaceful nights sleep i've had in years. Thank you Lisa & NeilWe will definitely be staying here again.Wayne & LisaCleckheatonWest Yorkshire"

"A lovely holiday. Very relaxing. The bonus was the use of the owner's pool, a rare treat in a self catering holiday home. The addition of private garden was also a bonus. Cottage was very small, but adequate for two people and was decorated to a high standard. The owners attention to detail was very good. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and on arrival there was a card and champagne and chocolates waiting for us which was a very special thing to do and made the whole experience very personal to us.The only down side was there was not enough free storage. Kitchen cupboards were taken up with decorations and there was nowhere in the bathroom to store any toiletries - needed at least a shelf to put toothbrushes on.On the whole though we enjoyed a good holiday in a very quiet and pleasant place with good facilities and restaurants within walking distance. Lovely people and a lovely place. We would definately recommend it and would love to go again."

"The cottage's decor is very dated and needs an upgrade. We didn't like the hostile notices stuck up all over the place telling us not to do this and not to do that! Of all the cottages we've stayed in over the years, this is the first one where there wasn't a welcome pack, not even a small bottle of milk or a few tea bags was available on arrival. When we've stayed in Cornwall/Devon scones, jam, cream and a bottle of wine/cider was provided along with tea/coffee, milk so the customer relations for this cottage needs some work!We were also unsure what the extra money we had to leave on the table was for as we didn't use the pool and you would expect the lighting in the car park to be included.We were also absolutely astonished that there was no WiFi as it hadn't occurred to us that there wouldn't be!The only good thing was the view from the lounge over the harbour and the cottage's close location to the village."

"Very helpful staff, and great cottages in a lovely quiet location. The downsides of a country location were that it took a little longer to travel the country roads to other Northumbrian attractions around the coast. Of the cottage itself - a few spiders had taken up residence in two of the shower units despite the otherwise immaculate facilities. Although the adverts describe the swimming pool and games room, the hours of use were a little restrictive in that they were not available after 7pm. We understood the Health and Safety restrictions on using the pool, but it would have been nice to be able to use the games room and/or snooker table in the evening. We would most definitely use the cottages from this owner again - but might chose to stay at their other site at Seahouses"

"Akeld manor is a lovely house which is in dire need of bringing up to date to accommodate large parties of visitors . There is only one shower ( but many baths )which is not adequate for a family of 15 . You are met with many rules and regulations on arrival that are off-putting and also a hefty surcharge which seems unnecessary . A welcome pack with local produce would have been a nice touch. Some of the rooms are neglected and very bare and the house itself does not have a homely feel . There is no wifi which in this day and age is fast becoming a necessity . The staff are very friendly and the grounds are amazing , the location of the house is very good for exploring Northumberland with most attractions around half an hour away . The pool and gym are an excellent addition ."
