Hidden Gem is a lovely place to stay. It’s clean, comfortable and beautifully furnished with quality equipment. There are also lots of extras such as bath robes, towels of all sizes, bathroom toiletries and an extremely generous welcome hamper. The owner has a real attention to detail. Amble is a delightful setting and a great base for experiencing lots to do in Northumberland.

Just had a lovely week at Hidden Gem. The property looked as good as the photos. It was spotlessly clean and had a well stocked kitchen. There was a lovely welcome basket (with an extra special Easter treat for my son). We had an issue that Lee got sorted straight away, and on Easter Sunday too. Fantastic host and a fantastic property. Amble is a lovely fishing village. The property is a short walk to the centre. When we visit the area again we will definitely stay at Hidden Gem

A nice little house not far from the centre of town where we found excellent restaurants. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of hot water for heating and showers. The log fire was a life saver as we visited during a very cold spell at New Year. Towels, bedding and robes were luxurious.
