“Bisley House was a great centre for our Northumbria holiday, the house has recently been refurbished to a high standard with all the amenities required for a great stay, the house was very clean and a small welcome pack was provided.”
We bumped into the landlord who told us a little bit about the history of the house and was keen to make sure that we had everything we needed.
For dog owners or families with small children, the garden surrounds the house and is nicely secure. The surrounding streets are quiet with little through traffic. Parking is on-street, but you do not need to fight for space, we ended up taking two vehicles and parked both to the side of the house all week with no problems.
Amble harbour is only a 10 minute walk from the house and Amble itself has a good selection of places to eat or get a take-away from. It's a 5 minute walk to the Co-op or 12 minute walk to Morrisons for those essential bits.
There are plenty of places to walk the dog locally and a lot of dog friendly premises in the town. Warkworth castle is 5 minutes away and Warkworth beach about 10 minutes, Cresswell Beach (Druridge bay) is 15 minutes away, both beaches are well worth a visit and dog friendly.
Alnwick is 20 minutes and Holy Island about an hour.
We haven’t rebooked yet, but if we visit this part of Northumberland again we would certainly book again.
Hi Jim, thank you for your kind review, it's great to hear you enjoyed your stay in Amble

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.
