    “Lovely spacious, comfortable, well-appointed and clean cottage set in a secluded central spot just behind the main shopping street.”

We managed ok by driving in, carefully doing a several point turn so that we then drove our Toyota Yaris Cross SUV out frontwards. This might be more difficult with a bigger car so check before attempting- there is free parking elsewhere in Amble. Apart from this the cottage was lovely and we ...

    The courtyard is a sun trap although access could be a challenge for some due to parking on the Main Street compromising the archway entrance at times and the width of the archway at its narrowest point.

This might be more difficult with a bigger car so check before attempting- there is free parking elsewhere in Amble. Apart from this the cottage was lovely and we enjoyed our holiday there and plan to return.

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 this property is suitable for 4 adults and 2 children.
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.
