    “The location of this cottage is very hard to beat.”

    The property was spotless and the sofa and armchair were very comfortable. The property is well lit. The shower does not drain properly so it is very difficult to get sand to stop building up on the shower tray. It must be a pain for your cleaner to deal with. If you had a shower head that was not fixed it would be a bit easier to clean the shower tray after washing sand off feet.

    The property was spotless and the sofa and armchair were very comfortable. The property is well lit. The shower does not drain properly so it is very difficult to get sand to stop building up on the shower tray. It must be a pain for your cleaner to deal with. If you had a shower head that was not fixed it would be a bit easier to clean the shower tray after washing sand off feet. The cleaning pack contains items that are superfluous but does not contain enough washing liquid. It contains 3 dishwasher tablets, in spite of there being no dishwasher, and 2 bin liners, when only one is needed. The bottle of washing up liquid is tiny. It is also more wasteful, to be purchasing lots of little bottles instead of putting one large bottle of liquid out and changing it, when it runs out. It is also wasteful to give people dish washer tablets that will just end up in the bin. The welcome pack is pretty mean, compared to most other holiday lets. All of the other places we have rented, over the years (more than 15) have had enough teabags, coffee and sugar for more than a week and not just 2 days. A pint of uht milk and a sugar bowl with sugar in it would have been more useful than the packets of biscuits that were left for us. Most places provide a pint of milk and a loaf of bread, in addition to tea/coffee/sugar. It would be helpful if some more pegs could be provided, for drying washing outside.

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 are building works happening at number 26 (two doors down) Whilst our neighbours have assured us that noise and disturbance will be kept to a minimum, guests should be aware that they may be some disruption during this time. Completion expected spring / early summer.
