“Spacious house for 4 adults in a fantastic location, just a stroll to the harbour side.”
We had no issues parking on the road with 2 cars.
The living room and bedrooms are comfy and the kitchen is well equipped. Plenty space to spread out so we weren't in each others' pockets. The photos are accurate, which says more than my typing! The yard is small but sheltered.
It feels homey rather than a bespoke holiday rental flip and we would happily stay again.
Amble is a great location to relax. Plenty places to eat and drink, with a small high street with some independent shops. It's right on the coast path for walkers, has beaches and also a nearby nature reserve in walking distance (2 miles, also driveable). Alnwick, Alnmouth and Warkworth are easy to get to by car or bus.
I would have scored 5 for facilities, but I can see from previous reviews that the pulsing light in the bedroom has been reported and not addressed. This could be a real issue for an epileptic or someone else triggered by strobe-like lights. There are also only 2 outdoor chairs (noted by several people in the paper guestbook). I'd guessed this from the pictures, so took extra with us. The upstairs shower could do with a deep clean as the showerhead is black. Cleaning supplies are given in a wee box and only really cover washing up. Some surface cleaner would help keep the kitchen as clean as when we arrived, as the sink stains easily with tea. None of this spoiled our holiday, but they're very easy fixes.
Dear Kate, thank you for posting your review and the nice comments you made about your stay.
We note your comments about the flickering lights in the back bedroom and would like to inform you that we have contacted an electrician to change the light switch, but he hasn't be able to get into the house and it has had guests in the house since we first informed him. I will ask NC&CC to look at the problem with the shower head in the bathroom as they take care of the house cleaning for us. Apart from the points you raised in your review it would appear that you enjoyed staying at Seaview Cottage and you also enjoyed your visits to the surrounding areas. Kind Regards Peter & Patricia.
