About this property
This fantastic terraced cottage is set in a very popular area of Amble, just two minutes’ walk to the coast. Beautifully presented, this contemporary cottage exudes a peace and calm with its well thought out interior; the owner has used pastel shades to create this tranquil oasis and the overall effect is one of quality and taste. The bedrooms will delight even the lightest sleepers with their comfortable mattresses and co-ordinating throws and cushions. The open plan ground floor has a corner sofa, woodburner and a spacious dining area, whilst the adjoining kitchen has all you need to prepare and deliver a gourmet Northumberland supper.
The space at the rear of the cottage is compact but perfect to allow pets and children out for a breath of fresh air. Amble harbour is just a five minute stroll away and offers a wide selection of pubs, restaurants and takeaways all serving good food and beverages. Why not take a walk along the banks of the Coquet towards Warkworth, here you can grab a bite to eat or enjoy a good rustle through the art and gift shops? A short drive from Amble will take you to the charming villages of Craster and Alnmouth, or perhaps spend a day in the popular market town of Alnwick with its famous gardens and ancient castle.
If you can bear to leave the delights of the area behind, why not take a trip to Berwick-upon-Tweed, Holy Island, Hadrian's Wall or Rothbury, the delights of this ancient county are just waiting to be discovered.
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 - the daily catch can be bought at a fish shop in the harbour.

Only slight downside is no designated parking space.

Very well equipped with everything you could think of. More than enough space for 5 of us. A great base for exploring the NE coast, with restaurants and shops nearby. Our children loved the park, which is a 2 minute walk away. The coastal path is also very close by with lovely views and quiet beaches. Highly recommended.

Very clean and everything was so well thought out. Finally found accommodation where the owner had thought about guests needs, simple things like having lots of hooks for hanging clothes, towels etc. Kitchen had everything you needed too. The welcome hamper was a nice touch. Parking can be a bit tricky at times as it's a popular location especially on a sunny weekend, but other than that it's brilliant. Definitely will be back.
