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.

We had such a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this holiday home, especially for families travelling with young children.The house was spacious, spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly need. It was so nice not having to bring all the usual extras with us, as there was already a travel cot, highchair and stair gate provided, as well as a lovely selection of books and toys to keep the little ones entertained. It really felt as though everything had been thought of to make travelling with children that little bit easier.The location was brilliant too, with both the park and beach only a couple of minutes away, which was perfect for us.We had such a lovely family holiday, made some wonderful memories and felt completely at home during our stay. We would definitely love to return in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. Thank you for a fantastic stay! 😊

Lovely, comfortable, and warm, this property was only a short walk (5-10 minutes max) from the stunning harbour walk, the shops, cafes, pubs, and amenities. It was well appointed and equipped, the welcome gifts were VERY well received, and the heating was very easy to use. Great WiFi reception, can't fault it! Lovely stay!

Really fantastic place to stay. The house is very well kept, clean and comfortable. I'd say their photos are actually doing them a disservice - the place is bigger than I thought! We stayed for a week with 2 children and a baby, and some friends visited for a couple of days too, and it felt like we had plenty of space. The photos also don't show that there is a little outside area with a table and chairs, which we all ate in a couple of times. The absolute best thing is how close you are to everything. 3 minutes walk in one direction is a great little park, and a beautiful pebbly beach with views out to coquet island and the sunset. 4 minutes the other way and you're into Amble harbour area. If you haven't stayed in Amble before, I couldn't recommend it more. We've stayed 3 times more (and Northumberland coast more broadly 6 times). Amble is our favourite place to stay - really nice feel, multiple cute (not massive, but beautiful) pebbly beaches and the sandy little shore tide pool, lots of really good places to eat (Fish Shack, Lily's Landing), and a nice hut market area. You're also only 5 minutes drive from Warkworth (castle, beach, good cafes, pretty river area), 20 from Alnwick (castle, gardens, Barter Books, beautiful beach in Alnmouth), 29 to Craster/Dunstanburgh, and ~1 hour to Bamburgh and Lindisfarne.
