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.

Elizabeth
It was absolutely spotless and well maintained, and everything youâd expect to find (and more) was included. It has a lovely quirky feel of being a much-loved home with an eclectic mix of modern and retro furniture and crockery, which we really liked. It was warm and comfortable. The location is fabulous, quiet street but only a very short walk to the shops, cafes, beach, and harbour. The owner was very helpful.

Donald
Unclean and musty upon arrival. Owner states this was a result of previous booking being cancelled resulting in the property being empty for a week - improbable. Bed linen clean but tired and not ironed. Remember to bring loo roll as these are not provided. £35.00 compensation promised but, to date, has not been paid.
