With a collection of elegant, well-presented interiors, and an excellent location a short stroll from the nearest shops and pubs, this charming abode welcomes a family, group of friends, or even sharing couples seeking a relaxing, fuss-free getaway just a brief drive east of the Northumberland National Park. Park up roadside in front of 18 Acklington Road, taking a moment to breathe in your new surroundings. Step inside the property, where you'll be instantly welcomed into a warm, vibrant sitting room complete with plush sofas and a sleek Smart TV. Continue through into the dining room where you'll find a dining table, where you and your loved ones can settle down to enjoy a delicious, home-cooked meal that you've whipped up in the fully-equipped, galley-style kitchen. When the sun sets, refresh with a cleanse under the rainfall shower, or indulge with a long hot dip in the bath before you finally hunker down for a much-needed snooze in either a decadent double or inviting twin bedroom. Start the day with a coffee enjoyed out back in the rear garden before you head out to explore what Amble and the local area has to offer. A walk into Amble will bring you to your nearest Tesco convenience store and Morrisons supermarket where you can stock up on homely essentials throughout your stay. You'll also find a selection of independent pubs, bars, and restaurants within easy reach of your new base, including the Bar 1902 at the Amble Club, The Masons Arms, Jaspers Bistro, and the Cock & Bull. During your time in town, be sure to wander through the Amble Harbour Village, enjoy a stroll along Amble beach and Marina. Just outside of Amble, stop by the historic site of Warkworth Castle or spend an afternoon sunbathing upon the golden stretch of Warkworth Beach. Further afield, make an excursion by car to the idyllic setting of Druridge Bay Country Park, step back in time with a visit to Alnwick Castle, or get up close and personal with exotic wildlife at the brilliant Northumberland Zoo. All of this and more is yours when you choose a stay at 18 Acklington Road.

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.
