  The bungalow is beautiful, so clean and comfortable.

  I do have a few issues I would like to raise though. The fact the owners home is next door is conveniently missing from the information listed,until the full payment has been made, and when I say next door, you could throw a stone from the rental house window into their window, it's a shared drive . There is no direct access to the back garden from the bungalow, you have to go out the side door, down the side of the garage and into the garden that way, which made it very awkward for our dog , the front garden is not secure at all so although you can get to it from the front door, it is again unsuitable and there was no mention of this on the description on sykes page. One of the reasons we choose Northumberland was to take advantage of the dark sky and do some star gazing, however as the owners house was in such close proximity and like I mentioned, to get to the back garden you had to walk right past one of the bedrooms on owners house, across a noisy gravel path, we felt it was unfair to be doing this and it would have meant leaving our dog locked in the house while we went outside. Lastly the photographs on the website are done very cleverly to make the gardens look much bigger than they actually are, and I feel this is also misleading. The property is very nicely furnished and spotlessly clean ,but had all the information I have mentioned been available I would not have chosen it and I feel sykes need to be clearer in the description

  Tomeg is a lovely terraced house perfectly located for all the amenities of Amble.

  The house has three bedrooms with very comfortable beds and a lovely large bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle. The living room could possibly do with an extra chair for the fifth guest but we managed. The kitchen was ok but I would have liked a dishwasher and tumble dryer and perhaps some small drinking glasses as there were either wine glasses or tumblers. I did have to buy a roasting tray as theirs was tiny so I’ve left it for future guests. Parking at the rear of the property was a bit of a challenge but I found driving in forwards and reversing out of the narrow path worked for me.The neighbours all parked considerately so it wasn’t a problem. Tomeg is on a main road but we didn’t have any noise problems and there’s a Co-op literally over the road. All in all we had a lovely stay in Amble which is a beautiful village that really comes alive on Sundays when the market is on. Warkworth Castle is worth a visit and is only just over a mile away from Tomeg so you can walk along the banks of the river Coquet which has amazing views. Alnwick, Bamburgh and Holy Island are all within an hours drive too. We had a great holiday and would definitely return.

  We loved our stay in Tomeg.

  The house is clean, ideally placed (The Wellwood Arms, Masons Arms, many takeaways and shops are only a short walk away) and had everything we needed for a 2 week holiday. The rooms are of a nice size and I'm not quite sure about the noise warning as this was quieter than another place we have stayed in Amble! The conservatory is a nice addition (and a good place to dry the washing / swimming stuff). The smart TV was a pleasant surprise so you can log into your streaming channels for those quiet evenings in. The only real negative about the house is actually a positive. The parking out back is (very) tight for an estate car (we have a Toyota Corolla Tourer Sport) and it does take a bit of work to get it in and out. However, this is a positive in some ways as street parking is also at a premium in Amble and I would rather have it this way than not having a guaranteed spot. Finally, all communication with the owners was answered promptly and professionally and I can not find fault in anything about the house an owners. Thank you Petra, Katherine (and Moira) for letting us stay in your lovely house.

  Our stay was absolutely brilliant.

  The weather was great all week. The property was lovely. Sitting out in the gardens especially the back garden was great. It would be nice if a gate or opening was at side of property so you don't have to go out of front gate & walk around your car to get to back garden. Back gate was also broken. Views where fantastic. The welcome pack was well received by part of the party as the other person has intolerance to certain food. In the listing it is stated that there is parking for 1 car. It doesn't say that the car has to be a small car. I drive a pickup, mainly due to the job that I do in the NHS. I had to reverse vehicle every time we went out, which was every day. The lane is narrow & has obstacles all the way down (parked cars, scaffolding, bins) We came back to property to find the owner had mowed the lawns/pruning bushes, leaving behind a cord-less trimmer in the back garden. It could have caused injury to 1 of our dogs. Apart from these few little issues we had an amazing stay in Island View Cottage. We both would love to come back with our dogs.

  As soon as we walked into Harbour Home. We felt at home. Lovely spacious house, cosy warm and warm. Loved having to comfortable rooms to relax in. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. So well equipped. The bedroom had the most comfortable king size bed. There was plenty of storage for all our clothes. The bathroom was light and airy. So great to see the sea in the distance first thing in the morning. Enjoyed the big bath for a great soak as well as an electric shower. Where the cottage was situated in Amble was perfect to walk to the shops, the lovely little retail pods and great restaurants. We bought amazing fresh fish on the harbour side when the boats had been able to get out. Soo good to be able to walk to the first beach within 10 mins and the second one about 15 mins. Amble was a great place to explore the coastline. And to have a lovely home to come back to at the end of a busy day was great. Looking forward to our next visit already.
