“We had lovely week staying in Tomeg, our second time staying here.”

Perfect location, close to the shops and the harbour, everything just a short walk away. A lovely house with everything we needed, a great size and perfect as a base to explore for our family. Just a small negative is that the seating could do with some attention. The living room sofas are old and uncomfortable and the dining room chairs can be a trip hazard.

“The house is in a very convenient place for the harbour, beach, shops and a good friendly pub called the Wellwood Arms.”

We found the house very pleasant and airy. The bathroom had a good shower. The main bedroom had a very comfortable bed but the twin bedroom had beds which rattled. Some of the bedroom sockets did not work. The kitchen had a couple of issues. One of the chairs was broken and the set of pans needs to be replaced. With a few tweaks this could be a very good holiday let.

“Our third time staying at Tomeg.”

We had everything we needed for a nice and relaxed holiday. Close to all the shops, cafes and restaurants on the High Street. Lovely beaches a short drive away.

“Positives - The location of the property is excellent for access to the amenities in Amble of which there are plenty.”

Also a good location as a base for exploring surrounding areas. Private parking available at the rear of the property was accessible and there was also the option of parking on the front. The property was well equipped as advertised. Negatives - The kitchen hadn't been cleaned to the standard we would normally expect. There were crumbs and a plastic cap from a bottle under the microwave. One of the pans in the cupboard was excessively greasy, and we note this is the same as mentioned in a previous review. Also in the kitchen some "boxing in" of pipework looked like it was in need of repair. The sofas in the living room are not very comfortable and well past their best. The main bedroom had some decent sized cobwebs which clearly had been there for a while.

“Lovely cottage.”

Very well equipped. Beds were comfortable and everywhere was very clean. It is a pet friendly home but you really wouldn't know this. The parking as in the description was very very tight and I only have a Polo, however we actually only moved the car once in the week we were there as we took advantage of the £2 bus fares on most days. The bus stop to Alnwick is about 40 steps from the house (slightly more steps on the way back!). The only one thing I would mention (and I did leave a note for the owner), is that the back garden is completely overgrown. It may be the owners are going for a "no mow" area, but there was nothing to suggest that, and I think the path from the back door to the parking area should be clear. On rainy days you get very wet legs! I think it would be almost impossible to clear up after a pet without going on hands and knees! All in all though a very enjoyable stay. I would definitely return because of the location and facilities.

“I loved my 2-week stay in Tomeg.”

The property was cosy, comfortable, well-equipped, good heating, great shower. Fabulous location just on the High Street. Yes, the parking out the back was challenging but manageable if you have good reversing skills! The house is ideally located on the main street, so perfect for walking to the beach and harbour in Amble, which is a beautiful little place and a great little base for exploring the coast of Northumberland and beyond.

“Our 2nd time staying at Tomeg.”

We liked it so much, we just had to come back! A real home from home with everything needed for a comfortable holiday. Excellent restaurants and shops within walking distance. Close to lots of wonderful beaches.

- Christine, October 2023
Nichola August 2023

“Thank you so much for a fantastic stay.”

Tomeg is in a brilliant location with just a short walk to the beach and a pub and Co-op on the doorstep. The house is spacious and feels wonderfully light and airy. Access to the parking is quite tight but that had been well communicated beforehand. The house is a great base for exploring beautiful Northumberland

- Nichola, August 2023
Stanley August 2023

“I found TOMEG a lovely home handy for the shops and surrounding area lovely and clean only problem was the metal bed frames in the front bedroom they creaked every time we moved but apart from that it was a enjoyable stay.”

- Stanley, August 2023
Antony August 2023

“We loved our stay in Tomeg.”

The house is clean, ideally placed (The Wellwood Arms, Masons Arms, many takeaways and shops are only a short walk away) and had everything we needed for a 2 week holiday. The rooms are of a nice size and I'm not quite sure about the noise warning as this was quieter than another place we have stayed in Amble! The conservatory is a nice addition (and a good place to dry the washing / swimming stuff). The smart TV was a pleasant surprise so you can log into your streaming channels for those quiet evenings in. The only real negative about the house is actually a positive. The parking out back is (very) tight for an estate car (we have a Toyota Corolla Tourer Sport) and it does take a bit of work to get it in and out. However, this is a positive in some ways as street parking is also at a premium in Amble and I would rather have it this way than not having a guaranteed spot. Finally, all communication with the owners was answered promptly and professionally and I can not find fault in anything about the house an owners. Thank you Petra, Katherine (and Moira) for letting us stay in your lovely house.

“Lovely stay at the 'Tomeg'.”

Clean & comfortable, central to all the amenities, just what we needed. Amble is beautiful, lots to do and see. Would definitely go back and stay at this property. Owners very accommodating and helpful. It is abit tight for parking round the back of the property but I had a small car so no problems.

Kathryn October 2022

“Property was ideally placed for exploring Amble as well as Northumberland beautiful coastline.”

It was clean & well equipped but getting out of parking space at rear with large car was extremely challenging.

- Kathryn, October 2022
Jane September 2022

“Overall a brilliant holiday.”

Great house in a lovely location for visiting the beautiful area. would definitely return

- Jane, September 2022
Gillian August 2022

“‘Tomeg’ is a lovely holiday home.”

The accommodation is more than adequate for a family. It is beautifully furnished but suitably and sensibly for a seaside holiday. It is well equipped both in the kitchen and the sitting room where the books and videos are welcome. The conservatory is a great asset for spending time in as well as drying clothes etc. The location of the house couldn’t be better for visiting various beaches and places of interest. Shops and restaurants are just round the corner. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again.

- Gillian, August 2022
David July 2022

“We enjoyed a wonderful holiday, the cottage surpassed ou expectations & was the perfect base for exploring Amble & Northumberland.”

It was in easy distance of all Amble's attractions, particularly for my Father in law with limited mobility. The only tiny gripe was that my Mother in law thought the TV required updating. She apparently struggled to follow the ball whilst watching Wimbledon! Other than that, 10 out of 10.

- David, July 2022
Debbie August 2021

“Tomeg is a lovely terraced house perfectly located for all the amenities of Amble.”

The house has three bedrooms with very comfortable beds and a lovely large bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle. The living room could possibly do with an extra chair for the fifth guest but we managed. The kitchen was ok but I would have liked a dishwasher and tumble dryer and perhaps some small drinking glasses as there were either wine glasses or tumblers. I did have to buy a roasting tray as theirs was tiny so I’ve left it for future guests. Parking at the rear of the property was a bit of a challenge but I found driving in forwards and reversing out of the narrow path worked for me.The neighbours all parked considerately so it wasn’t a problem. Tomeg is on a main road but we didn’t have any noise problems and there’s a Co-op literally over the road. All in all we had a lovely stay in Amble which is a beautiful village that really comes alive on Sundays when the market is on. Warkworth Castle is worth a visit and is only just over a mile away from Tomeg so you can walk along the banks of the river Coquet which has amazing views. Alnwick, Bamburgh and Holy Island are all within an hours drive too. We had a great holiday and would definitely return.

- Debbie, August 2021
Rebecca July 2021

“Tomeg is a great base to explore Northumberland.”

We really enjoyed our stay here. My only slight negative was the house wasn't as clean as I would have liked and the kitchenware could do with an update. Otherwise a lovely place, very comfortable with all the home comforts. Good for a family with young children too.

Louise May 2021

“Tomeg was a perfect holiday home.”

The house was clean and comfortable and had all facilities we required. The location close to the town centre and the marina was excellent. We found the neighbours exceptionally friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend Tomeg as a great place to stay in Amble.

- Louise, May 2021
Jane April 2021

“Very welcoming, warm, bright and spacious house in a very convenient location.”

Lovely sunny garden and conservatory. The dining kitchen and conservatory is a winning feature I think. For myself, more side lights in the lounge would have been welcome, and definitely darker curtains/blinds in the back bedroom which receives morning sun. The existing ones provide no barrier at all! And while a very very firm mattress is welcome to some, the one on the double bed was excessive. I think that a removable/flexible topper might be the solution. It really was like sleeping on a hard floor. Minor quibbles though (and obviously very personal). This is a lovely house for a holiday and Amble is a very well equipped town to base oneself in.

- Jane, April 2021
Tricia September 2020

“The accommodation was lovely.”

Great position, spacious and dog friendly. The house is on the high street and you can walk to Warkworth easily or to the port and the next bay. Lots of cafes in the area. We had a great time

- Tricia, September 2020
Michelle November 2019

“Lovely clean, warm cottage The car parking at the back was hard to find and it was very tight.”

Could of done with a few bits in kitchen e.g small sharp knife

- Michelle, November 2019
Stephen October 2019

“Amble is a lovely friendly place, ideal as a base for exploring one of England’s most beautiful, unspoilt counties.”

Tomeg is a pleasant and comfortable spacious cottage in which to stay.

- Stephen, October 2019
Paul September 2019

“Great base to explore seemed to be clean when first got there but first time in shower saw hairs on wall and after first night in bed whent to pick pillow up from the floor wall side saw someone's hair tie and bits of food (I think it was food, I left it all there).”

I also had to unblock the fridge drain at bottom to let the water out as it smelt bad.

Carolyn March 2019

“It would be useful to add that dogs aren’t allowed upstairs to the listing.”

We spent all week trying to convince our boy he wasn’t allowed - we’d probably not book a cottage with this limitation again. Otherwise a great house in a fantastic location.

- Carolyn, March 2019
Colin March 2019

“Tomeg is a lovely cottage in a good location.”

We cannot fault it,everything we neeed for holiday was there.Will definitely rent it again.

- Colin, March 2019
Michael March 2019

“This is a great property, spotlessly clean, comfortable a lot bigger than pictures suggest.”

Great location everything on your doorstep. We will book again as soon as possible and bring our daughter husband and granddaughter. Oh and our cocker spaniel really enjoyed his break particularly walkworth beach and the dog friendly pubs.

- Michael, March 2019
Sherryl September 2018

“Lovely cottage close to lots of beaches which our dog loved.”

Parking tight at rear but at least it had parking. Could do with wfi. Toilet very low , not very good if you have a disability. Would return.

- Sherryl, September 2018
Keith May 2018

“Our first sight of the cottage was nothing like the picture we saw on-line.”

The house next door to Tomeg was a complete building site, both front and back. Every day the builders arrived at about 9a.m., and banging, sawing and drilling started. We couldn't let our dog in the back garden because half of the gate on the right side had been taken away to allow access to the builders. One of the additions we noticed on-line was a washing machine, this would have been a useful complement to the cottage, but the washing line had been taken away while building work carried on. Therefore the washing machine was useless to us. In our opinion we should have been made aware of the noise and dust, and we would have chosen a different site at Amble.

- Keith, May 2018
John May 2018

“Great location with superb beaches and walks close by.”

Really friendly neighbours who were only to happy to help us find our way around.

- John, May 2018
Stan March 2018

“Parking at back,bit of a tight squeeze.”

Next door building work noisy at times,next door back looks like a bomb site,also no enclosed space at back for dog. House itself was clean and comfortable, although a welcome pack and WiFi would have been a bonus. Close to the town and although main road runs past the front it was quiet.

- Stan, March 2018

- Mark, March 2018
Veronica December 2017

“Only two snags, the toaster, because of the make I was unable to get rid of old crumbs; and an extra light in the sitting room would have been appreciated.”

Other wise almost perfect. Wonderful area for visiting castles and walking along beaches.

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.
