The location and house are great for visiting Amble and the surrounding areas. The house is exactly like the pictures and really warm and quiet. I would definitely recommend to anyone to stay. The only reason I have not given it a 5 star review is purely due to a few little touches like having at least a roll of toilet paper in each of the bathrooms, we stay at places alot in the UK and have never had just one full toilet roll. Luckily, we do take our own anyway. And the other reason was there was no welcome pack which again is always something people like and is listed as something that is done. To be fair to the owners they may pay a management company to clean, do the welcome packs etc and may not be aware of these points I have raised. I must also point out that I wouldn't let the few things I have mentioned put anyone off booking this places as it is really lovely and value for money.

Very clean, well maintained house, on a new estate so has no actual character to it.Beds comfortable, we didn’t find settee and chair at all comfortably but this is a matter of what type of seating is preferred.We did have a very small issue and contacted owner who agreed that it would be sorted out but it never was !!! It wasn’t anything that affected our holiday at all.
