"The Terraced cottage was situated within 5 minutes walking of all the amenities of AMBLE."
The property was well maintained. Parking at the rear was essential as Percy street was busy with residents and a disabled parking place directly opposite Redshanks.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Amble and we will return in the future. We would be happy be to use Redshanks in the future.
The 3 keys to the property were not all in the key safe. We eventually located the two back entry keys in the bottle rack in the kitchen.

"Redshank is a lovely cottage in a great location and we really enjoyed our stay here."
Just a couple of cons, the door locks are a bit tricky and took some getting used to. Also it was very dark at the back of the property at this time of year, maybe a security light would come in handy.
Overall we had a great stay and would definitely visit again. Many thanks.

"Redshanks is a perfect base for exploring Northumberland and has everything we needed for a comfortable, cosy and relaxing break."
We never had any problem parking behind the property and our puppy (on her first holiday) loved the green space behind the property too, especially when she spotted the rabbits!
Our only criticisms are the fridge, which is very small, and, although this is probably more to do with our personal preference, is that we would have appreciated larger towels.
The fish and chips from the Harbour Fish Bar come highly recommended but be warned the portions are huge!

"This was a very nice property in a lovely Northumberland village."
The house was spotless on arrival and as advertised. When we contacted the owner about a minor problem on a Sunday the response was very helpful and it was resolved same day while we were out.
I would definitely recommend for what was a very relaxing week and if you like good fish and chips ,great beer, and beautiful scenery this is the place to go.

There are some superb restaurants a short stroll from the cottage (Jaspers is a must!) along with plenty of shops to make self catering easy. The cottage itself was very clean very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay.

"Very clean comfortable stay at Redshank & had a good holiday."
The only downside is the fridge is tiny & integrated freezer didn't freeze something I'd brought from home. Not a big issue as several supermarkets very nearby but don't bring or buy many fresh items with you.
Also quite a bit of noise from local traffic but ok with bedroom window shut.
Would recommend & stay again in the future.

"Good location to explore areas of Northumberland and close to harbour which was nice to Be able to walk too."
House met all expectations making it a comfy stay with many extras. Would have liked a slightly bigger fridge, but that is personal choice as I like to put everything in there. Front door locking takes a bit of getting used to as a bit stiff. Used the nearby road to park the car even though there was space outside the property. A lovely couple of treats left in the house which was appreciated. Would recommend. Loved Amble as a base for our holiday. There is also now a Morrisons less than a five minute drive away which is handy.

"Lovely house, clean, good position near the harbour, well equipped with a very comfy bed(s) Wine, cake, fresh flowers, milk, tea bags etc on arrival."
Good area to travel from to explore, Amble also a lovely small town, 2 mins from property. No problems with on road parking.
Not criticisms just observations, could do with a mat inside the back door and the sensor outside light at the back fixing. The shower is adequate but not powerful and the loo needs adjusting- takes forever to fill up. Towels quite small, so you might want to take your own bath sheet.
An enjoyable holiday and would stay in property again if up this way.

"The cottage was very clean and fresh and appeared to have been recently renovated."
It had everything we needed for a relaxing week. The fact that it was closer to the sea, beach and harbour than we expected was a bonus. Our dog was very happy to find a large green space just outside the back gate, ideal for early morning and late night pees. Great for parking both front and back.
The locals are very friendly and made us very welcome at the Wellwood's Tuesday night quiz. The food was pretty good but had we known that the landlord was providing roast pork, roast potatoes and Yorkshire puds for those in the quiz we may have saved some space!
The Old Boathouse and the Amble Inn were also well worth the visit.
All in all a great holiday - just a shame that we could not bring the beaches of Alnmouth and Bamburgh home with us - our dog really loved them.
