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.

Unclean and musty upon arrival. Owner states this was a result of previous booking being cancelled resulting in the property being empty for a week - improbable. Bed linen clean but tired and not ironed. Remember to bring loo roll as these are not provided. £35.00 compensation promised but, to date, has not been paid.

Very comfy, quite clean, would definitely stay again. Just 1 wee issue of spider webs in most corners of the house! both myself & my wife have a slight phobia

The location was fantastic with amenities within walking distance. However it definitely requires a good clean, we had to spend the first evening cleaning the grill tray and the majority of the dishes as they were all still dirty. There was a large stain on the carpet at the entrance, the sofa was very old and had been covered to try to stop the smell of must escaping. We had tried to hoover the carpet and found a very smelly hoover with no attachment to be able to hoover properly.
