Jamaal Lodge is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its spaciousness, comfort, and well-equipped kitchen. Its proximity to Druridge Bay and local amenities makes it an ideal base for exploring Northumberland. Guests appreciate the secure garden for dogs and the thoughtful touches provided. While some maintenance issues are noted, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The lodge is generally regarded as clean, with only a few isolated incidents of flies and a suggestion that windows needed cleaning. The majority of guests found the property to be very clean, contributing to a high cleanliness score.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to beaches, nature reserves, and towns, making it an excellent base for exploring Northumberland. Despite some remarks about its setting in a housing estate, the quietness and convenience of the location are appreciated.
Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of comfy beds and a well-equipped kitchen. However, there are comments about a sunken sofa and a lumpy mattress, which slightly lower the score.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and secure garden. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as the need for a lick of paint, TV reception problems, and heating issues, which affect the score.
While there are mentions of welcome gestures such as wine and biscuits, there are not enough instances to accurately assess the consistency of thoughtfulness across all stays. Therefore, the score is set to null, and guests should note that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
About this property
Amble 3 miles. A fabulous, detached wooden lodge located in the quiet hamlet of South Broomhill, on the rural outskirts of Amble, 4 miles from Warkworth. Situated close to the beautiful Druridge Bay Country Park and Nature Reserve, this spacious property boasts bedrooms on both the ground and first floors, two bathrooms, a first floor balcony and a lovely large garden surrounding the property, including an enclosed rear lawned area, ideal for dining alfresco. Northumberland's delightful Heritage Coast is a mere 1 mile away, whilst Alnwick, Berwick, the Scottish Borders and Newcastle, with its world-famous Metrocentre, are all within easy driving distance. A fantastic property in a great location!
This lively little seaport, with its new marina, bustling harbour, where freshly caught fish can be bought from the shop, glorious sandy beaches and a coastal walk to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley makes this a perfect place to spend a holiday. There are plenty of activities to occupy the whole family right on the doorstep, and Amble-by-the-Sea is also well located from which to explore the rest of Northumberland. To the south of Amble lies Coquet Island, an rspb reserve, where boat trips around the island can be organised and puffins, eider ducks and terns can be seen. There are many charming coastal villages to be discovered including Alnmouth and Craster, whilst further inland the castles of Warkworth and Alnwick along with the National Trust properties of Wallington Hall and Cragside House are all within an easy reach. A superb holiday destination for all the family.

As previously, a real home from home, with all the comforts you would expect. Perfect location for exploring Northumberland. (The only very slight negative is that my mum found the double mattress in the downstairs bedroom lumpy and uncomfortable this time around-18 months after our last stay).

Loved the layout, it had everything you needed. The garden is enclosed which was good for the dogs. We seemed to have been lucky with the weather too. Really good location of the lodge as it was walking distance to Druridge bay, which we visited everyday to give the dogs a good walk. Local chippy was nice and friendly lovely pizza. Went out for some food at the Amble inn which the fish wasnât the best, the batter was really crispy and dark, it was like it had been lying under the heat for to long. I would definitely recommend the lodge though and go back myself.
