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.

We had a fantastic weekend at Hyem. It was a lovely, cosy and inviting cottage with excellent facilities. (All the negative things you may read in other reviews, the front door, toilet etc have obviously been sorted as we had no issues with any of the facilities!) One of the reasons we chose Hyem was the log burner, we imagined having to put it on to keep warm on a cold December night, but the house was warm enough without it! The bedrooms were also inviting and comfortable. We loved the fact that it was just a few minutes walk to the sea front and there were some great places to eat in Amble. The welcome package when we arrived was also a lovely surprise. We didn't really use the outside space but it looked clean, tidy and would be great to sit out in during the warmer months. We will definitely be going back to Hyem!
