About this property
Centrally located in the harbour village of Amble in Northumberland is Mulberry House, a contemporary, three-bedroom home. Enjoying a prime location near a wealth of amenities, and a short journey away from the beach and Northumberland Coast AONB, Mulberry House welcomes five guests for a memorable getaway, offering a stylish interior, flexible sleeping arrangements, and a private patio. Park up on the roadside before entering the property, where you can firstly unwind after a day of traversing in the homely sitting room; complete with plush seating, a Smart TV, and a rustling open fire, use this space to socialise and recount your day's adventures. Next door, locate the dining room, adorning a feature fireplace and plenty of space to gather as a group and enjoy delicious home-cooked meals. The kitchen is well-equipped to assist, complete with all expected appliances, granite worktops and sleek cabinetry. Head outside for some fresh air, where you can also dine alfresco upon the patio furniture, before returning indoors for a long soak in the roll-top bath; the bathroom also houses a walk-in shower for convenience. Select between three well-appointed bedrooms, including two king-size rooms and a single, before awakening to an itinerary brimming with exploration. Surrounding the property, you'll find a range of eateries and shops to ease your self-catered stay, including The Wellwood Arms, The Old Boathouse, and petrol stations and supermarkets. Head towards the bustling marina, lined with colourful beach huts, before traversing further towards Warkworth, home to a sweeping beach, the remains of Warkworth Castle, and the picturesque River Coquet, all worth a visit. Rerouting south, discover a host of attractions including the Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre, ideal for the entire family, Druridge Bay Country Park for a nature-filled afternoon, and East Chevington Bay Beach, before reaching Northumberland National Park for further exploration. Experience all of this, and more, by booking Mulberry House.
Amble, a bustling small harbour at the River Coquet's mouth, is a great starting point for exploring Northumberland. In addition to sandy beaches, a marina, a harbour, and coastal hikes to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and the national park at Druridge Bay, Amble, once a centre for boatbuilding, offers all of these amenities. A variety of fish, prawns, crabs, and lobsters are landed by the large fishing boats that are moored around the harbour wall. On the side of the harbour is a fish centre that sells local fish and is available to the public. It is currently mostly a shellfish hatchery to restock levels of lobster and other shellfish. Coquet Island, an rspb reserve with a sizable population of terns, puffins, and eider ducks, is located one mile south of Amble. Boat tours around the island can be booked.

Within easy walking distance of shops, cafes and restaurants and a handy bus stop means not having to drive everywhere. Highly recommended.

The cottage was very comfortable especially the beds and the bathroom was lovely however we did not realise how noisy the Road would be and sometimes it was very difficult to find parking nearby
