The property is conveniently situated just 100 yards from the harbour and is directly on the Coastal Cycle Route and there is bike storage available in the fully enclosed rear yard. Amble known as the friendliest port in Northumberland, is close to beautiful beaches and many nearby attractions. It still has a working fishing harbour and makes for a lively and interesting place to stay. There are boat trips out to Coquet Island, managed by the rspb to see the puffins and roseate terns and there are also seals around the island and sometimes you will see them in the harbour. The high street is peppered with independent shops and tea rooms and there is a local Sunday market situated on the harbour and a small harbour village housing mini shopping pods each with something different to buy.
The little beach has some pretty beach huts you can rent for a few pounds from the harbour master and there are superb restaurants nearby, some specialising in seafood. On a summer’s day you can sit outside the fish restaurants in the harbour, enjoying a glass of wine and taking in the view and bustling ambience. The picture postcard village of Warkworth is just a couple of miles away, with its historic castle dominating the skyline. Enjoy riverside walks or amble down the high street where you will find shops, galleries, coffee shops and restaurants. Amble sits at the start of the Northumberland Heritage Coast Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, from here you can travel on up to Seahouses, a typical seaside village, or Bamburgh with a large castle open to the public in the summer. Just a few miles away is Alnwick Castle, used in some Harry Potter and Downton Abbey scenes, or the stunning Alnwick gardens. Wander around some of the cobbled streets and have a coffee in Barter Books, one of the largest book stores in England and well worth a visit. Travel down the coast to Tynemouth and Whitley Bay, where a pretty promenade stretches along for lovely walks with plenty of wine bars and bistros to visit. There is something for everyone in this diverse county, whether it be coast or country. Beach 500 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant 500 yards.

Number sixteen is such a lovely house. The photos don't do it justice. The beds and sofas are comfortable. The house is so well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The welcome basket was amazing. We were only four adults and three dogs but there would easily be plenty of room for ten people. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and it was a real home from home. There are lots of lovely beaches and castles very close by and plenty of pubs within walking distance. Would definitely recommend this property.

An excellent place to stay for a family holiday helped by the weather! Plenty of room and equipment for 8 of us.Comfortable and clean.The only draw back was the smal outside area which couldn't be helped and was made more awkward with our bikes. Good idea to take your bike locks.Outside tap useful for sand and crab lines proved very productive for catching crabs.Took our own BBQ.
