Can’t fault Harbour Walk in any way. The cottage is cosy, well equipped and in an excellent location, very close to Amble harbour. It is a short walk to pubs, restaurants and shops. The bed is extremely comfortable. Clare was easy to contact. We had a lovely stay. We had great meals at The Harbour Inn and Taj Mahal , both very close by.

Great location and excellent property. Only slight disappointment was the lack of water pressure in the shower. Even with this we'd highly recommend.

The house was in a great location for shops, pubs, harbour and marina. Only a short walk to a beach and loads of dog walking opportunities. Everything required was available in the house and a big plus point for my wife was a banister on both sides of the staircase to help with her mobility issues.
