“One word: outstanding!”
From the minute we opened the door, we were in love with Victoria Cottage. Well equipped kitchen, beautiful dining room and a warm and comfortable sitting room downstairs and upstairs didn’t disappoint either. Very spacious indeed. The beds were super comfortable, linen and towels immaculate too. Great bathroom, again very roomy!
This cottage is absolutely wonderful. We’ve stayed in a lot of holiday lets, we go away 2 or 3 times most years and Victoria Cottage outshone them all. The photos online don’t prepare you for how lovely it is. Everything has been considered for your stay. The garden at the rear was totally dog friendly, a must for us.
Parking is at the rear, down a short alley way. Although tight, we managed to park our very wide Volvo estate. I got out at the start and my husband who is not small had enough room to open his door and exit at the end. Not a problem. There was parking a few yards down in a free car park and also always parking on the residential road to the side.
We were so well situated, a very short stroll to the lovely high street that had everything you need and just slightly further to the marina area. Lovely restaurants and more shopping there. A beautiful place with views to Warkworth Castle.
Everything is within easy reach. Alnmouth (our favourite!), Alnwick (as well as the castle be sure to visit Barkers bookshop, you won’t be disappointed, google it), Berwick, Craster…….the list is endless. We loved Amble though. We decided we could live there! What made the holiday even better was the welcome. The contact from the owners was amazing, helpful and warm, I felt that if I’d had a problem, they would have responded immediately and they’d left us a welcome pack to get us started. The local people, wherever we went, were just wonderful. Making a point of talking to you, asking where you’re from and giving advice on the best things to do. Getting anywhere took ages because of the chatting!
Victoria Cottage is a gem. Everything was easy from start to finish. Fantastic home, lovely owners and a stunning area.
