This house was just lovely. Very clean and extremely comfortable. Well fitted out with everything required in the kitchen. Loved the fact there was also a downstairs toilet too. Shower and heating worked a treat, was a wee bit chilly while there. Amble is also a lovely location for seeing around Northumberland.

5stars all round, stand out areas were the cleanlines, adequate consumables like toilet paper/kitchen paper/dish tabs for our 4day stay. Linen and towels fabulous. Great location. We like to cook, so very impresed with the utensils, our only very small niggle was it is an under counter fridge with small box freezer (I removed the exces ice which helped hugely). We had brought a full shop so it was very neat as a family of four, just left out some juices though. Would definitely stay again
