Guests say
Harbour Lodge in Amble is highly praised for its superb location near the harbour, shops, and beaches, making it an ideal base for exploring Northumberland. Guests appreciate the spacious, well-equipped accommodation, comfortable beds, and welcoming atmosphere. The property is popular with families and dog owners, and the owner is noted for good communication. While most reviews are positive, some mention minor maintenance and cleanliness issues, as well as occasional noise from nearby church bells. Overall, guests enjoy their stays and many return year after year.
Most guests found the property clean, especially the bedrooms and bathrooms, but several reviews mention issues such as an unclean oven, smeared mirrors, and tired kitchen appliances. These concerns were balanced by other guests describing the house as spotlessly clean.
The location is consistently highlighted as excellent, with immediate access to the harbour, shops, restaurants, and beaches. Guests found it convenient for exploring Amble and the wider Northumberland coast.
Guests frequently mention spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and a layout well-suited to families and groups. Some minor issues with noise from church bells and bedroom arrangements were noted, but overall comfort is rated highly.
The property is well-equipped with a good kitchen, ample seating, and useful extras like a garage for bikes. Some guests noted maintenance issues such as creaky doors, tired furniture, and the need for a downstairs WC, but these did not significantly detract from their stay.
The owner is praised for friendly communication and responsiveness. Some guests received welcome packs or sweet treats, but it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for all bookings.

Harbour Lodge was a great base from which to explore the lovely town of Amble and its surroundings. The house is spacious and provided good accommodation for five of us and two dogs. We were delighted by an extra special welcome pack as I had mentioned to the owner when calling for access information that we were celebrating a 70th birthday. That was above and beyond! We did have issues with the plumbing and some of the bedding and these have been reported directly to the owner.We also thought the information book could be checked and updated as some of the information was definitely out of date which made us wonder about all of the other information included. Otherwise, would definitely recommend a stay here.
