Amble, a bustling small harbour at the River Coquet's mouth, is a great starting point for exploring Northumberland. In addition to sandy beaches, a marina, a harbour, and coastal hikes to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and the national park at Druridge Bay, Amble, once a centre for boatbuilding, offers all of these amenities. A variety of fish, prawns, crabs, and lobsters are landed by the large fishing boats that are moored around the harbour wall. On the side of the harbour is a fish centre that sells local fish and is available to the public. It is currently mostly a shellfish hatchery to restock levels of lobster and other shellfish. Coquet Island, an rspb reserve with a sizable population of terns, puffins, and eider ducks, is located one mile south of Amble. Boat tours around the island can be booked. A short drive will take you to attractive Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, charming Warkworth with its castle, and the National Trust's Wallington Hall and Cragside, in addition to a number of excellent beaches and charming coastal villages.

Super shower and good bed (only used the king size so can't comment on the others). We didn't get the use the outside space because of the weather but it was very pretty. Location fantastic for walking to the many delights of Amble and we never had a problem parking (although we know Gordon Street can be very busy in mid-summer). Yes we would definitely return.

The cottage was well equipped, clean and cosy. Being a 3 bed worked well for our family. Creel Cottage is situated in a perfect location. Parking was on adjacent road which wasnât an issue for us, as we always managed to find a space. From the cottage we were able to stroll along the sand dunes to the beaches or walk into town. We explored the local area around Amble - it could be a castle, a beach, a sea trip to Coquet Island. Recommending evening meals at the Harbour and the Boat House. We found plenty to do within our weeks stay and plan to return back at some point. Many thanks to the owner for a great stay :-)
