Guests say
Nursery Cottage is praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and peaceful rural setting, offering a relaxing family holiday. Guests appreciate the well-furnished rooms and the garden's beautiful views. While the kitchen size and layout received mixed feedback, the property's charm and location make it a desirable getaway.
The property is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with only minor suggestions for deeper cleaning and attention to details like cobwebs and shower drains. The high standard of cleanliness contributes positively to guests' experiences.
The location is appreciated for its peacefulness and proximity to local attractions, despite some guests finding it more remote than expected. The rural setting offers tranquility and is well-placed for exploring Northumberland, although the distance from amenities and the condition of access roads were noted.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with cosy living spaces and bedrooms. The property's layout provides privacy for multiple guests, and the garden adds to the overall comfort. However, some guests noted limited space in communal areas, affecting the comfort level for larger groups.
The cottage is well-equipped with necessary appliances and comfortable furnishings. However, feedback suggests the kitchen facilities are cramped for larger groups, and there is a need for more wardrobe space and bathroom shelving. Some minor maintenance issues were also mentioned.
While guests mention a welcome touch of wine and chocolates, there is insufficient information to determine the consistency of such gestures. As these gifts are not guaranteed, their absence should not detract from the overall experience.
About this property
This superbly appointed cottage rests in a hamlet less than five miles from seaside port of Amble, ideally placed for exploring all of the delights of Northumberland. This heart-warming retreat has been designed to bring together a group of family and friends to this wonderful location, carved by historical landmarks, glorious beaches and sweeping countryside. Here, you are spoilt for choice by the sleeping accommodation that awaits you, with four brightly decorated bedrooms to choose from. Find two stylish king-size double bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, a standard double bedroom and a delightful twin bedroom, which are serviced by the family bathroom with a bath, basin and WC.
Look forward to spending relaxing evenings within the sitting room, where you and your loved ones can curl up on the plush sofas which rest in front of the warming electric fire before tuning into the TV with Freeview. Beyond here is the well-equipped kitchen, where the designated chef of the group will be able to find all the essentials required to whip up delicious evening meals, before settling down at the dining table to plan the days ahead. During your stay, discover the garden area, where you can enjoy a spot of alfresco dining whilst soaking up the woodland views and the soundtrack of the singing birds.
If you can tear yourself away from this wonderful base, venture into the centre of Amble, where you will find a superb selection of pubs and restaurants, as well as a number of shops for picking up any essentials. Brush up on the local history by spending an afternoon exploring Warkworth Castle, or venture a little further to Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens. If you are visiting during the summer months, head to the coast where you will find a number of sandy beaches, unique wildlife and a magnitude of walking and cycling routes. Nursery Cottage is an elegant retreat for exploring this part of Northumberland with your loved ones.
Amble is a seaport resting at the mouth of the River Coquet, in Northumberland. Within the town you will find a marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and coastal walks to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley.

Andrew
In the beautiful countryside, but only 10 minutes from Warkworth and a little more to Alnwick and Bamburgh - so perfect for us. The house is very well-equipped and having 3 double beds, as well as a kids bedroom, was ideal for us. Great communication from the hosts, at the time of booking and during the stay. Really couldnât have asked for any more.
