I regularly visit Amble with my wee Border Terrier, Wor Bob, and I have stayed in many holiday Lets. The owner, Steve, was excellent to communicate with and informed me of a couple of very small maintenance issues, which did not affect my stay but I appreciated him mentioning. At the price, Seashell Cottage was excellent value. Its location was perfect for access to the harbour / pier, shops ( a Premier Store is only 100yards away ) Being able to use the back door for easier access was very convenient, especially if you have a dog with you during your stay. The log burner would be wonderful in the severe winter but the central heating system was superb so the log burner was never needed during my stay. The decor was tasteful and all the appliances were flawless. The bath was wonderful with lots of very hot water on demand. The bed was extremely comfortable ( I only used the large bedroom but the twin room looked great ). I never used the cooker, as I ate out all the time but it was extremely clean. The addition of dog bowls and towels were a nice touch. All in all, I would highly recommend Seashell Cottage and would love to return. Thank you Steve.

Beautifully clean and tidy, so welcoming. The location is perfect, we especially loved the pier. We found the sofas super comfortable and the log burner was very welcome on chilly evenings. Your bed is super comfy too and the room was nice and warm . Thank~You for a lovely stay .

Some of which were mentioned to us by the owner, kitchen tap dripping constantly. Overall very disappointing. To top it off, the owner contacted us on our journey home, to ask where the plug from the kitchen sink was, implying that we had stolen it. We have stayed in many cottageâs over the years and 99% of them had been of a good standard, on this occasion, we definitely would NOT return.
