• "Amble is a fantastic place & so friendly."

  We booked this property last minute, mainly due to its location, the fact we could take our dogs & it was a decent price. Overall everything was good. The on street parking was fine, the property was larger than we thought it would be, it was nice and warm & the facilities were very good. But there were a couple of minuses too. The back yard could do with a decent power wash & a bit of love, and the foot pedal on the kitchen bin didn't work, so we had to lift the bin lid manually - only minor points but quite unhygienic. If you aren't intending to use the yard, & aren't too concerned about the bin, then this property is ideal for a family holiday as it's large, comfortable & near the facilities.

• "This is a really lovely, spacious house in a great location in Amble."

  The downstairs is very comfortable and homely, the kitchen well-equipped, although the dishwasher was out of use and due to be replaced the day we left. As others have said, the yard is neglected and unusable; the house could do with a deep clean; the sink and shower drain unblocked in the bathroom; the vinyl floors in the kitchen and bathroom replaced and a bigger bed in the main bedroom. However the house was warm, well-equipped, spacious yet cosy and we enjoyed our stay.

• "Spacious house."

  Comfy bed and sofas. Nice towells in bathroom. Plenty of on street parking. This property needs some improvements. House in need of decorating and refurbishment. Whole of house looking tired and was quite dirty. Dishwasher broken. Seems to be a long standing problem reading previous reviews. Can't unlock kitchen windows as no keys available. Shower in bathroom drains so slowly you end up standing in a puddle of soapy water. Back yard unsightly. Could do with a good tidy up. Back gate needs repairing.

• "We stayed last year and had to call someone out about the dishwasher."

  The rubber seal had came off. Disappointingly it is still the same. I think everyone staying has said the same thing in that the owner is missing a trick with the yard as it let's the cottage down as it could be updated with furniture to sit in. It just looks a mess!! Other than that the cottage was spotless and an excellent base for our holiday.

• "The property was tired ,I managed to repair the back gate I also had to tighten the toilet seat which was very loose the bathroom door lock needed adjusted as it was really difficult to open /close there was no key to open close windows and my son opened window and nearly fell out into the front street the dishwasher rubber seal come of when you open/close it very annoying there is no mop to clean floors we were there for 2 weeks was annoying having to use floor wipes to clean floor surfaces and the front door should have a turn key on the inside with only one key supplied it's a fire hazard we also had a racist neighbour I said good morning to her and she replied she couldn't understand me I then said it's a nice day hopefully stays like that she replied in a rude tone of voice ah you are Scottish no wonder I can't understand you Scottish are all the same I just replied to her how rude and walked away from her the property has the potential to be great the location is great plenty shops pubs restaurants etc parking no problem the back yard could do with a raised decking with a nice table and chairs and new back gates maybe some nice wall planter right now it's concrete very uninviting would I stay here again yes I would if it gets a major makeover ."

  ..I forgot to mention no wardrobes in any rooms and the double bed is tiny and needs upgraded to king-size or large double

• "This could be an amazing property."

  Lots of space, lovely decor and very comfy bed. It would be good if there were table and chairs in the yard to be able to enjoy the outside space. It was also impossible to re-bolt the gate after putting out the rubbish so had to wedge it shut. Lack of attention to detail (cobwebs on landing ceiling) and economies on smaller items (no washing up liquid) detracted from overall impression. Despite this being one of the more expensive properties we have stayed at in Amble it is the first time ever that there wasn't a welcome pack, not even a few teabags and pint of milk to make a hot drink on arrival. Several of the above comments had already been made in the visitor guest book over recent months, but had not been addressed.

Saying all this I would go back again.im just being honest to the questioner

• "Nice spacious cottage in a quiet area but close to harbour, pubs restaurants etc."

  Good parking. Good smart TV. With a little tlc the cottage could be really elevated. Yard is scruffy and needs attention. Kitchen floor is worn through in one area. Shower needs a good clean and shower tray fills up when you shower. Little things really, and didn't spoil our stay but cleaning and maintenance need attention.

• "Many positives, we enjoyed our stay, the place is very spacious, peaceful, and the lounge is comfortable, the wifi worked well."

  Amble itself is lovely and we were very pleased with the location. The thing that lets it down a bit is the back yard, as the previous reviewer noted, it is covered in algae and bits of insulation and grub. It was very slippy, I nearly went flying taking the rubbish out. A missed opportunity as it would be a nice little suntrap there. Couple of additional things that would have been nice too; some spare hand soap (the bottles that were there was pretty much run out, we bought some and left it for the next visitors), a starter pack for the fire and a hairdryer. Overall though the positives outweighed the negatives and we had a great time.

• "The house was warm and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay."

  The following comments are not complaints but things we feel would improve the stay. There are no window keys and some of the windows are locked. This could be a serious safety issue in the event of a fire. There are no recycling bins in the kitchen so it’s not easy to recycle waste. The knives all need sharpened and there is no knife sharpener. The USB plugs in the kitchen do not work. The accuracy of back yard, patio furniture and bike storage is incorrect. The yard is covered in algae and bits of insulation. There is no table and there is no bike storage. It would be nice to have a starter pack of wood for the fire. Also there are tiny amounts of watered down hand wash in the kitchen and bathroom

• "We really appreciate the flexibility that the owners offered us in letting us stay a day earlier and changing the dates as we all had covid."

  Property is in a good location close to the Harbour, Lovely open fire, comfy beds, only constructive comments are, the coffee cafetiere is broken, there wasn't a started pack of fuel or any toilet roll, so go prepared.

• "Lovely house in convenient location close to the shops and harbour in Amble."

  Well presented and comfortable. Parking always available on street. Amble is a great location with a small beach and plenty of restraints and cafes and short drive to other beaches and towns on the beautiful Northumberland coastline.
