lovely location. perfect for a stroll around the harbour and pier with the dogs. had everything we needed. Warm & cosy inside as it snowed whilst we were there. Dogs loved it, and the welcome pack was a lovely touch too. Already recommended it to my brother

A lovely comfortable cottage close to all the amenities in Amble. Very warm and cosy for a winter week away. Kitchen is well equipped, would be great if there had been a washing machine, but I guess not really much room for one. Comfortable lounge seating for four people, would be a bit cosy if there were five staying. As others have said, the televisions are on the small side, in the lounge it is ok, but the bedroom one might as well not be there as it’s so small unfortunately. We only use the two larger bedrooms, the king size was comfortable and plenty space in the room. The double was fine for one adult, not perfect if two sharing as bed is almost up to the wall on one side. In general and great warm, comfortable holiday cottage, lovely little welcome pack, even included doggy treats. We would definitely stay here again.

A cosy, comfortable cottage only yards from the sea and glorious views. What a beautiful place Amble is. So much to see and do in the town and surrounding areas. We had a delightful week with our dog. There are great places to walk the dog in Amble and wonderful dog friendly beaches nearby. Most shops and eateries welcomed dogs too.We would definitely come again!
