About this property

Tucked away in the delightful coastal town of Amble, Northumberland, is this contemporary, detached property, Bisley House. Wonderfully presented over two floors, this property enjoys a great position for accessing the Northumberland Coast AONB and Northumberland National Park, whilst also being close to many attractions and amenities and welcomes five guests and their canine companions. Internally, the ground-floor features splendid living areas, with the kitchen housing all the necessities for preparing home-cooked meals, which can be enjoyed in the dining room, whilst the sitting room is where you can grab a seat and keep warm beside the woodburning stove. As the evening draws to a close, venture upstairs and relax in the bedrooms, with a king-size, double with en-suite shower and a single on offer, serviced by a refreshing bathroom with choice of bath and shower over. Step out to the wrap around garden and enjoy a favourite tipple as you bask in the evening sun, or wander to a local pub and enjoy a pint in the beer garden. There's also a choice of fabulous restaurants, including Jasper’s Bistro which specialises in seafood. Head to Hauxley Nature Reserve for a gentle stroll, visit Drurdige Bay Country Park for a lake and dunes, or wander along the harbour wall in Amble and watch the boats bob with the tide. A little further away lies Morpeth, a historic market town with fascinating attractions including Morpeth Chantry and Carlisle Park, or you might fancy a trip to Newcastle where you can sample city life and visit the Angle of the North.

Amble, a bustling small harbour at the River Coquet's mouth, is a great starting point for exploring Northumberland. In addition to sandy beaches, a marina, a harbour, and coastal hikes to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and the national park at Druridge Bay, Amble, once a centre for boatbuilding, offers all of these amenities. A variety of fish, prawns, crabs, and lobsters are landed by the large fishing boats that are moored around the harbour wall. On the side of the harbour is a fish centre that sells local fish and is available to the public. It is currently mostly a shellfish hatchery to restock levels of lobster and other shellfish. Coquet Island, an rspb reserve with a sizable population of terns, puffins, and eider ducks, is located one mile south of Amble. Boat tours around the island can be booked. A short drive will take you to attractive Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, charming Warkworth with its castle, and the National Trust's Wallington Hall and Cragside, in addition to a number of excellent beaches and charming coastal villages.

  • Yvonne

    Spotlessly clean and clearly recently decorated. Very spacious with an ideal, safe and enclosed garden for our dogs which surrounded the detached cottage. Ideal. Some lovely walks nearby too. Highly recommended!

  • Robert

    A lovely clean house in a good location. We hope to return one day.

    Amble is, in our opinion, one of the nicest seaside towns in Northumberland as it has retained a “proper” town with a wide variety of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. There is a market on Saturdays and Car boot on Sundays at the harbour. Bisley House is just a short walk from the harbour and we walked to Druridge Bay Country Park one day and then in the opposite direction to Warkworth the following day. Another great walk with amazing views was to the Simonside Hills. The house has been refurbished to a high standard and was equipped with everything we could possibly ask for. Parking was easy too and it was in a quiet area. The owner Russ left us a fabulous hamper with treats for the dog that he loved (we loved ours too!) Russ came to visit us early in our stay and we learnt about the history of the house. He was very helpful and we felt we could contact him with any questions we had. We definitely recommend staying here and if we come back to Northumberland, we would not hesitate about staying here again.
