"Having stayed in numerous cottages all over the country this cottage is right up there with only a few things taking it from excellent to good."
We had to buy soap and bin bags and we also discovered a mouldy dish of spaghetti in a cupboard. Apart from that we had a great week and really enjoyed Amble and surrounding area

"Superb holiday cottage."
Rooms lovely and spacious. Great location 5 mins walk from Amble high street, port and coast. Area of outstanding natural beauty. Cottage had lots of nice finishing touches. Peaceful and quiet, ideal for recharging one's batteries. Beds very comfortable. Parking right outside was no problem. Couldnt find facility for recycling tins, plastics, bottles, cardboard which would have been helpful. Kitchen was well stocked. Nice bathroom. Would highly recommend, thank you. Friendly area.

"Our 2nd stay and it was as good as before."
Really comfy beds, loved the new layout in the lounge and the fact that money is being spent on updating - new TV and wood burner. Just a few niggles that haven't been sorted but others have mentioned - front door lock sticking, light bulbs out in dining room and kitchen and cooker hood. Unfortunately my daughter became ill on our last day but we were able to book another night so she could recover before travelling - many thanks to the owner and Sykes, also to the cleaner for giving us an extra hour's grace on Sun morning! Hope to be back again - a very comfy cottage.

Would strongly recommend this property to families it was so lovely and clean. All the rooms were a good size. Good comfy beds slept so well. There were no issues with parking. The property is close to all amenities and didn't use the car the whole time we stayed.
The only struggle was the lock on the front door, needs to be addressed other than that it really was perfect. Thank you will definit...

"A cosy house, a very comfortable bed, warm and welcoming with everything you need."
Beautifully maintained. Situated in an excellent place in the town - quiet but near dog walk, not far from sea, shops and great places to eat. Amble is perfect for exploring the Northumberland Coast and Nos 23 an excellent base to go back to. Highly recommended.

"We had another great stay at 23 Northumbria Terrace."
The previous issue with the toilet being shoehorned into a very tight space has been resolved with a clever bathroom refurbishment. This property is a real home from home, comfortable, well equipped and superbly placed for exploring up and down the beautiful Northumbria coast. The only improvement I could suggest (and I'm really nit picking) is that there was no blue wheelie bin for the recycling, which meant it all had to go in he general waste bin. I highly recommend this property.

"Fantastic location, only 10 mins walk to Amble Harbour, has a large grass area 1 min from the cottage for dog zoomies."
I was pleasantly surprised at how well equipped the cottage was. Full kitchen utensils, hair dryer in main bedroom. My only negatives are main bed does make a racket when you move/turn over, thankfully I was a lone sleeper in that room. Neither bedroom door shuts properly so if you want full privacy you won’t get it. The photos are outdated as far as outside is concerned. The courtyard is not somewhere pleasant to sit, needs a lock of paint and weeds removing, paving sorting. Also not good to see the cleaner has left a mop bucket/mop outside. Front garden is nice but the furniture needs repainting. The garden gate has dropped and needs repairing as you have to use strength to lift up to open and close. There is also 2 large nails and a rusty piece of metal stick long out to the right of the front door in the brickwork so be careful if you have little dogs/young children. I did email the owners about the tv screw being faulty on our first day but never heard back, so if it’s not replaced don’t worry it’s not your eyesight there are marks that you can see when the tv is on and a light background. It also has a bath with shower over now not a walk in shower as shown in the photos All in all it is a cracking cottage. Would be perfect if they could just do a bit of maintenance. I would recommend for a base for Northumberland, we just wouldn’t go back as we’d go further up the coast to stay next time.

"A very nice property, very comfortable, clean and tidy."
The only thing that needs improvement is the rear yard which needs weeds and grass removed. The house is situated on a quiet street and we had no problems with on-street parking, and it is only a short walk to the middle of Amble. For those with a dog there is a large field at the end of the road. We had no trouble sleeping or problems with the bathroom that some people have commented on. This property will be our first chose when visiting Northumberland again. For those who like a good pint of Real Ale we would suggest they visit The Cock & Bull in Amble ( card payment only, no cash )

"A well equipped and nicely furnished property within close proximity to town and a large supermarket."
The details describe and show a picture of a walk in shower which are not correct as there is a bath with overhead shower, which may be a problem for someone with limited mobility. As previously commented the main bed is extremely noisy and creaks when someone moves which disturbs sleep, and the back yard is untidy and unkempt. We couldn't find the recycling bin outside as listed in the information provided in the cottage. However we had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend.

"No.23is in a quiet street away from the main town."
A few minutes walk in either direction will bring you to the top or bottom of the high street.The cottage has a lawned enclosed front garden which is great for the dog,inside it was clean comfortable and warm with a log burner if needed.
The beds where very comfortable so no trouble sleeping,we read reviews that there was a problem with the bathroom we had no such problem.The x18 will take you into Alnwick with the castle and barter books,and a mile long walk through the marina will take you to walk worth’s nice place with a good pub,and finally the quayside well worth a visit especially on a Sunday for the market.Amble and the cottage are lovely,well worth a visit.

"Found property to be extremely clean and tidy upon arrival."
Bed comfortable but creaky.Slight damp patch on ceiling in main bedroom which looks like water ingress from roof.
Bathroom- when it came to using the toilet we found the space very tight, it would be better if there was a shower curtain as opposed to glass partition between shower and toilet. We are not the largest of people but it was tight. Also bathroom sink was very slow flowing this could be due to a blockage, also you could not remove sink plug to check.
Overall a nice cottage but with things that need adressed in the bathroom.
Rest of cottage fantastic, well furnished and equipped and great location only downsides the issue with the bathroom as mentioned above.

"A lovely holiday home and a great base for exploring the beautiful Northumbria coast."
Comfortable and well equipped with good quality fixtures and fittings. The only drawback is the toilet, which is shoehorned into a narrowish gap between a wall and the fixed shower screen. Fine for an average sized person, but if you're a bigger body size you will find it restrictive. Otherwise a great place.

I can suffer with a bad back and every morning I awoke with a bit of back pain. I slept on the side nearest to the window and on inspection the mattress did look a bit "squashed" along the edge. My wife however didn't have a problem. Other than that, we didn't have any other issues and enjoyed our stay.

"We had a great stay in Amble, a place we would love to return to."
The house is in a mostly quiet residential location with great access to green space for walking a dog and access to local supermarket. It is a short walk to local bakery and the harbour with its market and lovely restaurants over looking the sea and sand dunes. We would have liked a long handled brush to keep the floor clean during our stay, please consider adding one to the utility area. For once the mattress on the main bed was of decent quality and comfortable compared to others we have stayed in however the bed frame creaks at the slightest turn in bed which got a bit annoying towards the end of the stay.
We would consider staying again as the house was otherwise very comfortable and well equipped.

"The house was very well decorated and comfortably furnished with nice little touches."
We enjoyed being able to sit in the front garden with a drink on returning from a day out. The house had ample cutlery, crockery, pans etc. The little courtyard out the back door was a useful space but not very attractive - it would obviously not be practical to put lots of plants in it but we wondered if a nice mural painted on the walls might be an improvement!
We had a great holiday and liked Amble very much as a base.
