This luxury townhouse with splashes of colour is perfect for couples, families and friends to share some time together, relaxing and unwinding. Perfect for family holidays or for that impromptu short break with friends to enjoy everything Kittiwake has to offer. Walking from the front door into the town centre is literally 2 minutes with plenty of shops, bakeries and abundance of cafés and pubs to keep all ages happy. The rear area can be enjoyed to sit out and watch the boats over on the marina whilst the first floor living room is a joy to unwind in.
Amble is known as the friendliest port and a warm welcome awaits from the locals. Plenty of little cafés and pubs are around of all types including super seafood eateries and an award winning ice cream parlour. The kiddies may like to hire a little beach hut for a nominal charge available from the harbour master, located on the Little Shore by the Pier, they are a lovely little treat for a day. The market is busy on Sundays with visitors and locals and pop by into the little shopping pods and the Lobster Fishery to see how lobsters are reared and perhaps pick up some fresh seafood.
Trips to Coquet Island are a nice treat in the summer or a walk along the coastal path to Warkworth to see the castle and riverside is a nice morning out. Nearby Alnwick is the home to the famous castle used in Harry Potter, whilst the heritage coast line, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, stretches from here up to Berwick-on-Tweed. Days out can be as diverse as you wish, head over to Hadrian’s Wall or onto the National Park, or perhaps a rainy day trip to the Metro Centre one of the largest in the UK. No matter your age there is plenty to see and do in this beautiful area, the county of Northumberland is truly an unspoilt county which you will be sure to want to return.

Key box jammed when we arrived. Apparently a common occurrence. Fortunately helpful neighbour in phone call to property manager after much banging managed to get it open. Heating did not come on on first morning apparently another common occurrence. Plumber sent immediately and got it on. Heating did not come on subsequent days but plumber had shown us what to do. Not good enough to have to get up in cold bedrooms to set it off. Highly commend property manager for her immediate response to both the above.Sad as property lovely, most comfortable and in an excellent location.

It was a wonderful stay and with a few of the party having mobility problems having everything so close was great. We had a wonderful time and a perfect hub for those exploring Amble, Warkworth and Alnwick castles and all the Northumberland has to offer.
