Lobster pots lining the busy port walls, the smell of seafood floating through the air and stallholders setting up at the busy market; the harbour village of Amble is a hive of enticing activity. Northumberland is known for its friendly locals, and Amble must be the friendliest port in the county. Its high street is well-appointed with a range of good pubs and handy shops, while Amble harbour has the draw of its craft market, sea views and fresh fish.

Choosing a cottage in Amble gives you access to all of Northumberland's incredibly diverse coast. With ruined castles dotting the skyline, it's highly photogenic even on gloomy days.
