    The house is spacious and clean with a well equipped kitchen. The location is perfect for exploring Amble and the beaches and it’s on a quiet street. Parking wasn’t a problem either. All in all, we couldn’t fault it and would consider booking again. Thanks for the lovely holiday.

    So we did not have far to walk, to be able to enjoy the sea!

  • "Very well equipped throughout."

    For a family it is great to have 2 bathrooms. Pillows and mattress in the front double room I personally found too soft. The house is close to all amenities including eateries. Restful visit in May.

    Dear Susan, thank you for taking the time for posting your review, much appreciated. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Seaview Cottage and you found it to be in an ideal location and well equipped throughout. We note your comments about the mattress and pillows, but these are very personal items and some like them soft and others hard. We do have spare pillow in the wardrobe in the 3rd bedroom which are "firmer" and we should let guests know this so we will add this to the details in the guest book. Kind Regards Peter & Patricia.

  • "We thought the location was great and house was large and spacious and was perfect for us."

    The abundance of hot water and fluffy towels were very welcome after days activities. Our suggestions to improve the experience are to remove the abundance of pot pourri. In addition, to consider updating the main bathroom which was looking, and feeling, a little shabby. Finally, a fluorescent/warning strip on the small step into the kitchen would highlight it and minimise any potential trips. We are happy for the first paragraph to be publicly viewed but that the remainder are small issues which should not be viewed as complaints.

    Dear Theresa, thank you for taking the time to post your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed staying at our house and found it perfect for your stay. Thank you for the nice comments about the fluffy towels and abundance of hot water. We note your comments about the pot pourri and the main bathroom. Whilst we acknowledge your right to comment on the property, we would like to advise you that we have had numerous guests staying at Seaview Cottage over recent years and you are the first person to mention that the main bathroom needed updating. It is an old house and we feel the bathroom is clean and airy and is in keeping with the age of the property. There is a "lighthouse lamp" on the table next to the small step leading to the kitchen and we always leave this on to ensure guests are aware of the step. Unfortunately your whole review was published so I felt I should respond accordingly. Kind Regards Peter & Patricia. Property Owner

  • "Have used Sykes Cottage many times and this stay was as expected."

    The cottage was meticulously clean and comfortable and was a treat away for my wife's 50th. Only a very short walk to the sea and a couple of great seafood restaurants (as seen on TV Hairy Bikers) Arriving late evening on a cold day a lovely touch was that on arrival the heating was on and a few lights that made a great start to our stay. Enjoyed day trips out visiting nearby places of interest such as Holy Island. Will very probably be staying here again. Highly recommended.

    Dear Charles, thank you so much for taking the time to post your review. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay to celebrate your wife’s birthday & thank you also for your recommendation.

    It's spacious, clean, comfortable and cosy. It is situated near the Amble sea front and pier so you have a beautiful walk right from your front door step. We loved it and hopefully will be back.

    Dear Elaine, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Seaview Cottage and found it ideal for your holiday. We think it is located in a nice position as you don't have to get into a car to have a nice walk.

  • "Behind the chest of draws in the front largest bedroom hadn’t been cleaned, it was full of dust and looked like hadn’t been moved for months (I know this is nothing to do with the owners)."

    To hoover behind despite there being a large gap. The hoover wasn’t the best at hoovering. Other then this it is lovely accommodation and I will be booking again excellent lay out for a disabled person with the downstairs bathroom. Very spacious accommodation no problem with parking. It was wonderful to have the facilities to play music around the home. Instead of having the tv on the all the time, the firestick was a bonus for the days it wet and windy. Ideal location and all amenities close by.

    Dear Danielle, thank you for posting your review. We are obviously disappointed hearing about the dust you found behind the chest of drawers in the main bedroom, we will get in touch with Northumbria Coast & County Cottages about this as they do the cleaning on our behalf. The “Henry” hoover shouldn’t have any difficulty in hoovering around the property, unless the dust bag is full. We will also mention this to NC&CC. Other than these issues, it appears you enjoyed your stay at Seaview Cottage & found everything to your satisfaction. We look forward to welcoming you back on another occasion.

  • "Spacious house for 4 adults in a fantastic location, just a stroll to the harbour side."

    We had no issues parking on the road with 2 cars. The living room and bedrooms are comfy and the kitchen is well equipped. Plenty space to spread out so we weren't in each others' pockets. The photos are accurate, which says more than my typing! The yard is small but sheltered. It feels homey rather than a bespoke holiday rental flip and we would happily stay again. Amble is a great location to relax. Plenty places to eat and drink, with a small high street with some independent shops. It's right on the coast path for walkers, has beaches and also a nearby nature reserve in walking distance (2 miles, also driveable). Alnwick, Alnmouth and Warkworth are easy to get to by car or bus. I would have scored 5 for facilities, but I can see from previous reviews that the pulsing light in the bedroom has been reported and not addressed. This could be a real issue for an epileptic or someone else triggered by strobe-like lights. There are also only 2 outdoor chairs (noted by several people in the paper guestbook). I'd guessed this from the pictures, so took extra with us. The upstairs shower could do with a deep clean as the showerhead is black. Cleaning supplies are given in a wee box and only really cover washing up. Some surface cleaner would help keep the kitchen as clean as when we arrived, as the sink stains easily with tea. None of this spoiled our holiday, but they're very easy fixes.

    Dear Kate, thank you for posting your review and the nice comments you made about your stay. We note your comments about the flickering lights in the back bedroom and would like to inform you that we have contacted an electrician to change the light switch, but he hasn't be able to get into the house and it has had guests in the house since we first informed him. I will ask NC&CC to look at the problem with the shower head in the bathroom as they take care of the house cleaning for us. Apart from the points you raised in your review it would appear that you enjoyed staying at Seaview Cottage and you also enjoyed your visits to the surrounding areas. Kind Regards Peter & Patricia.

    The Wi-Fi worked well as did all the other electrical items. Amble was a good place from which to explore the area. One small thing, I think the light bulbs in the back bed room are the wrong ones for the dimmer switch as they flickered all the time, it wasn't a problem as we used the bedside light instead. Would definitely recommend the property.

The property

Enjoying a superb coastal setting near to the bustling harbour of Amble in Northumberland, Seaview Cottage is a delight all year round and is the perfect family holiday destination.

The accommodation is well-presented and offers guests a warm and welcoming ambience with an inviting sitting room housing ample seating and tasteful décor and soft furnishings, creating a space which is ideal for curling up together and relaxing.

The good-sized kitchen/diner is fully fitted and has everything that’s needed to be able to rustle up creative cuisine for the whole family and the extensive dining area has a rustic dining table and large windows letting in loads of light, which both add up to make for a really sociable space.

This is somewhere you can imagine tucking into long and relaxing meals together.

The small but perfectly formed courtyard gives guests the opportunity to take a seat outside and soak up any sunshine.

When it’s time for bed, choose from three bedrooms; two king-sizes and a single.

All are charming and offer a calming place to lay your weary heads after a hard day of getting out and about exploring.

Seaview Cottage is a short walk from the bustling harbour of Amble which also boasts a marina, sandy beaches and a number of coastal walks to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and country park at Druridge Bay.

Just 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.

Seaview Cottage does what it says on the tin: offers guests beautifully presented rustic accommodation with captivating views of the sea.

About the location

AMBLE

Warkworth 1 mile; Alnmouth 4 miles.

The bustling little seaport of Amble is situated at the mouth of the River Coquet and is an ideal place for exploring Northumberland. 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. There is a fish centre on the side of the harbour that is now primarily a shell fish hatchery to re-stock levels of lobster and other shell fish, this sells local fish and is open to the public. 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.
