About this property

Nestling in the heart of picturesque Amble in Northumberland, Number Seventeen offers immaculately presented accommodation in what promises to be a stunning base from which to explore the delights of the region. Ideal for a mixed group of family and friends, the interior has been finished to a high standard with a delightful sitting room welcoming guests into a wonderful space complete with extensive seating, tasteful soft furnishings, wood flooring and a feature ornamental fireplace. When tummies start to rumble, the designated chef will enjoy cooking up a storm in the attractive kitchen which is fully fitted with everything needed and when it’s dinner time, food can be served up in the elegant dining room where there is a rustic dining table just waiting for guests to pull up a chair and tuck into hearty meals together. There are attractive patio doors opening outside, so if it’s warm enough, you can throw open the doors and let the outside in or even take your food and drinks outside for some alfresco time. At bedtime, guests can choose from four stylish bedrooms; they are all different (choose from a cool bunk bedroom, a king-size, a twin and a top floor master suite) but all boast the same attention to detail and chic finish. The master suite is a particular feature with a sumptuous king-size bed, a freestanding roll-top bath in the bedroom and contemporary en-suite facilities. Within a short walk of the property, is the beach, pier, harbour, children’s play area and a good selection of shops and amenities in Amble as well as scenic coastal walks to places such as the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and country park at Druridge Bay. A mile south of Amble is Coquet Island, an RSPB reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks and boat trips around the island can be arranged. The pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster and numerous superb beaches are only a short drive away, whilst picturesque Warkworth with its castle, charming Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, and the National Trust’s Wallington Hall and Cragside are all within easy reach. For the number one holiday of a lifetime, make sure you book a stay at Number Seventeen.

The bustling little seaport of Amble is situated at the mouth of the River Coquet and is an ideal place for exploring Northumberland. Historically a centre for boatbuilding, Amble offers a marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and coastal walks to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and country park at Druridge Bay. Large fishing boats moor along the harbour wall and land a variety of fish, prawns, crabs and lobsters. There is a fish centre on the side of the harbour that is now primarily a shell fish hatchery to re-stock levels of lobster and other shell fish, this sells local fish and is open to the public.

    It easily accommodated several adults and a couple of dogs in homely comfort. Amble itself is a lovely harbour town with loads to do and see within walking distance or just a short drive away. No 17 is just a few minutes walk from the harbour and town with a range of restaurants, pubs and bars, cafes, takeaways and handy shops. Parking was a breeze, managing to get 3 cars almost outside the front door without any problems. We also had an electric car which we managed to charge effortlessly within a few minutes of the house. There were plenty of chargers which didn’t seem to be used much. The house itself is lovely, clean and deceptively large with spacious and comfortable dining and living rooms, a useful downstairs toilet, a shared bathroom and a lovely bedroom (which I managed to bag!!) with en suite (and a separate bath in the bedroom) on the top floor. It has a well equipped kitchen and small but attractive outside area which I imagine would be lovely in the summer. I would recommend without hesitation and would happily go back again.

    The owners, who are very friendly and got in touch regularly to make our stay even more pleasant, have thought of everything! We felt at home in the house and were greeted with a very thoughtful (and delicious!) welcome basket. It is perfectly situated, just a few minutes walk to the harbour and town centre, and about 5 minutes from a lovely beach. We also enjoyed being able to use the leisure centre with the membership card provided by the owners. We can definitely recommend Nr 17!

    A nice arrival basket awaited us. Lots of pillows for the beds and towels. The cottage was a 5 min walk to the harbour and beaches such a lovely home
