About this property

This property is quite simply stunning with unrivalled sea views, sumptuous décor, and some original local artwork. No expense has been spared in this fabulous reverse-level property tucked away in the charming town of Amble, Northumberland. It’s not called The Waves for nothing! Featuring proximity to local amenities and a beach, off-road parking and stunning décor throughout, The Waves welcomes six guests, perfect for a memorable retreat near the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. After parking up and unloading your belongings, discover four ground-floor bedrooms, each charmingly-decorated with plenty of storage to house your holiday wardrobe. Completing this floor, you will also find a superb bathroom and a shower room, perfect for getting ready or winding down for the day. Venture upstairs to find the well-equipped kitchen, boasting all the necessary appliances to whip up delicious meals for your whole family, to be enjoyed at the dining table or outside in the enclosed garden, where you can pop corks to toast your getaway whilst you soak up your surroundings. Curl up in the inviting sitting room or snug, clicking on the Smart TV to catch up on your favourite shows or indulge in a movie marathon before heading to your chosen bedroom to catch your well-earned slumber. If you can tear yourself away from this stunning base, head to Amble Harbour, where you can explore the picturesque harbour and watch as the fishing boats come and go. Alternatively, head to Coquet Island via boat, a lovely nature reserve and prime spot for viewing seabirds, including puffins and terns. Visit the nearby village of Warkworth and explore the impressive ruins of Warkworth Castle before enjoying fantastic food at the Harbour Inn, Jaspers, the Boat House, or the Fish Shack. If you’re seeking a nature-centred pastime, spend the day exploring dunes in Druridge Bay Country Park, or if your trip aligns, don’t miss out on the Amble Puffin Festival, offering guided walks, talks and family-friendly activities! Further afield, explore the stunning landscapes of Northumberland National Park, which offers numerous hiking trails and scenic beauty spots. Don’t forget the nearby historic town of Alnwick, where you will find Alnwick Castle, and the newly opened Lilidorei at Alnwick Gardens, a magical mysterious village full of play areas designed for children under 11. For all of this and more, escape to The Waves.

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. A mile south of Amble is Coquet Island, an rspb reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks and boat trips around the island can be arranged. The pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster and numerous superb beaches are only a short drive away, whilst picturesque Warkworth with its castle, charming Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, and the National Trust’s Wallington Hall and Cragside are all within easy reach.
