About this property

The Old Smithy is a 200 year old former BlackSmiths and offers

well-presented accommodation, ideal for a family getaway to the coastal

town of Amble, Northumberland.

With separate rooms on the ground-floor, guests can gather in the elegant

sitting room, take a seat in the stylish dining room, or spend time

preparing food in the fully-fitted kitchen.

All the rooms are light and airy, and the property exudes a warm, welcoming

vibe.

A spacious courtyard outside provides plenty of room for children and pets

to run around safely in an enclosed space, while the adults can make the

most of the patio furniture as they soak up the sunshine.

There is even a barbecue, so if the weather allows it, why not fire it up

and enjoy some alfresco dining?

When it’s time for bed, make your way to any of the three delightful

bedrooms, choosing between a double, a twin, and a children’s bunk bedroom.

After a rejuvenating night’s sleep and a refreshing shower in the

contemporary shower room, you’re ready to go and explore.

The Old Smithy is a wonderful base from which to discover the delights of

the region, with the property already in the heart of the bustling seaport

of Amble.

Historically a centre for boatbuilding, Amble offers a marina, a harbour,

sandy beaches, and coastal walks to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and

country park at Druridge Bay.

Large fishing boats moor along the harbour wall and land a variety of fish,

prawns, crabs, and lobsters.

A mile south of Amble is Coquet Island, an RSPB reserve with a large

population of terns, puffins and eider ducks, and boat trips around the

island can be arranged.

The pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster and numerous superb

beaches are only a short drive away, whilst picturesque Warkworth with its

castle, charming Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, and the

National Trust’s Wallington Hall and Cragside, are all within easy reach.

The Old Smithy offers charming and attractive accommodation, making it the

perfect destination for a family holiday.
