    “The property was fabulous but I would have to say it would be better if the listing stated here was no parking and especially as we got trapped in twice when parking along the fence line on the advertised road, the property was amazing and the levels of equipment was excellent, clean and serviceable.”

    There is a risk of damaging your car if you try to get it on the drive. There are restrictions on Queens Street which are 1 hour with no returns for 1 hour between 0900hrs and 1700hrs Monday to Saturday for information.

About the location

AMBLE

Warkworth 1 mile; Alnmouth 4 miles.

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. 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.

Please note: There is access to the private local health club which includes indoor gym, sauna and steam room
Please note: Parking in the courtyard is suitable for one small/medium car. The width of the archway at its narrowest is 2.25 meters.
