Hyem makes an excellent choice for those seeking a coastal retreat, giving easy access to explore the 20 miles of magnificent stretch of Heritage coastline. This region is proud to have been designated as An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Amble is a bustling fishing town and working port, situated just 1-mile south of Warkworth village, on the Coastal Route through Northumberland.
With a good range of small, mostly independent shops, including a great little bakery, excellent butchers, Italian restaurant, award-winning seafood restaurants and one of the best traditional fish and chip shops in the North East on the quayside, it’s a fascinating little fishing port. There’s a local Sunday market held every week on the old quayside, which is lovely to wander around, as well as a little ‘Harbour Village’ with tiny boutique-style independent shops operating out of pods resembling old fishermen’s huts. The views from the quayside are spectacular, of the estuary, impressive Warkworth Castle, Coquet Island and of course the beautiful sea, and the walk along the harbour front to the interesting marina is just lovely, follow it with lunch or dinner in one of the super little eateries on the quayside. There is golf, fishing and water sports nearby. Beach 2½ miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 500 yards.

ANTONY SPRUCE
Great place for a holiday. Accommodation had everything that we needed, although some items were a little "well used" Amble is a great village/town, really good amenities and very dog friendly too. Lots of things to see and do in the area, in fact we didn't see everything that we wanted to, so will definitely return at some point.

The location of the cottage is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach or to the harbour / shops.Sadly the cottage itself is tired and needs investment, the laminate flooring is broken in numerous places, one of the rugs had a few stains which need to be cleaned properly (or replaced) and the sofa was sadly cheap and uncomfortable and again needs to be replaced.On the good points, the house was lovely and warm, the kitchen well equipped (albeit the rust on the fridge / freezer is a bit unsightly), the shower above the bath was excellent and the main bedroom has a lovely view over the sea / beach.Whilst Amble is a lovely place to visit for a holiday, regrettably we are unable to recommend this cottage in the current condition.

An amazing place, really well equipped, clean and spacious. Location amazing. Only thing that has been mentioned already is that the beds do need replacing as a little uncomfortable. Will definitely book again though as it was an amazing house, one of the best ones we have stayed in. Had a lovely week.
