Having visited the area a number of times over the last fifteen years with my late wife, & laterly on my own, I can honestly say that Kittiwakes is the best cottage I have stayed at in Noerthumberland & is in the top five that I/ we have stayed in over the last 35 years.Clean, comfortable, well equipped, it was a perfect base to return to at the end of the day. Especially when the weather was generally grey & damp.Amble is well placed for visiting the fantastic Northumberland coastline both North towards Bamburgh & Holy Island as well as South down to Whitley Bay & St Mary's Lighthouse.As a keen photographer, the five minute walk to the harbour meant it was perfect for catching the sudden changes in sea/ weather conditions as well as the sunrise without having to travel far.Nothing is ever "perfect" but four stars would be too few so given ait 5 stars. Maybe 4.8/ 4.9.Would definitely recommend.
