About this property

Offering panoramic sea views and easy access to local amenities, Creel Cottage rests in the coastal town of Amble and is ideal for a family or two couples looking to explore the coast and history of Northumberland. Park off-road and be welcomed into a wonderful property, where the history of the traditional building is paired with contemporary design and a spacious extension. There are two rooms where you can settle down with a coffee and a good book, beginning with the sitting room, offering a selection of leather sofas sitting beside a TV, and from here you can access the conservatory snug through double glass doors, finding a room with two sofas and a dining table, allowing you to enjoy the coastal views, or to access the garden through the full-length sliding glass doors, where there is a fantastic outdoor sitting area and a lawn space overlooking the countryside and bay beyond. When mealtimes call, head over to a traditional kitchen, stocked full of amenities, with wooden roof beams and a dining table, ideal for guests to cook together. On the ground floor there is also a shower room, and a bathroom can be found on the first floor, along with two homely bedrooms, a double and a super-king zip-link, each with storage for your belongings. Amble is a wonderful seaside town where you will be delighted to find a fantastic harbour and riverside walks, so why not enjoy a stroll in the salty air before settling into one of the many tasty eateries and enjoying a hot meal? You can stock up on essentials at the local convenience store before visiting one of the local attractions, including Hauxley Nature Reserve, the picturesque Amble Marina and fantastic coastal tours to Coquet Island, an RSPB nature reserve located just off the coast. Further from the property you will find the wonderful town of Warkworth with the ruins of Warkworth Castle, well worth exploring. Enjoy the amazing coast of Northumberland with a stay at Creel Cottage.

The bustling little seaport of Amble is situated at the mouth of the River Coquet and is an ideal place for exploring Northumberland. Historically a centre for boatbuilding, Amble offers a marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and coastal walks to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and country park at Druridge Bay. Large fishing boats moor along the harbour wall and land a variety of fish, prawns, crabs and lobsters. There is a fish centre on the side of the harbour that is now primarily a shell fish hatchery to re-stock levels of lobster and other shell fish, this sells local fish and is open to the public. A mile south of Amble is Coquet Island, an rspb reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks and boat trips around the island can be arranged. The pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster and numerous superb beaches are only a short drive away, whilst picturesque Warkworth with its castle, charming Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, and the National Trust’s Wallington Hall and Cragside are all within easy reach.

    It was extremely well appointed, the owners have thought of almost everything. The cottage is perfectly situated in a quiet spot on the outskirts of Amble but within easy walking distance of the town. Parking was also very easy. We travelled to Alnwick by bus and can definitely recommend Barter Books and the Aln Valley Railway. Cragside Estate is relatively nearby and well worth a visit. The walk alongside Amble marina to Warkworth village and castle was a highlight, as was Hauxley Discovery centre. We even took to the air with Northumberland Microlights. One fly in the ointment was the complete lack of information about how to watch terrestrial television. The owners will know which handset to use and how to remove someone else’s choice of channels which appear fixed but we had no idea how to do it. This was somewhat frustrating.

    However the electric shower pull switch in the bathroom would not operate. The power to the shower is permanently on. Also we couldn't navigate the TV channels. We used BBC iplayer and ITVx all week. The TV guide seems to be stuck on US channels 4108 and we couldn't scroll up and down the guide for live UK TV. Perhaps it was operator error, we are both in our seventies!! We would like to book again next year

    Many lovely and interesting places to visit in well under an hour away. Even Hadrian's wall is only an hour. With a cosy and comfortable cottage to return to. Bliss.
