  • "Stones Throw was a very nice cottage just off the main street very handy for all amenities."

    We had lovely sunny days and enjoyed the coastal walks a unexpected bonus was the lights switch on. There was a Steel band just at the end of our street and the parade past by only 20 metres from our cottage. A wonderful weekend which we have many happy memories to cherish

    Thank you for your feedback John, really happy you liked Stone's Throw and enjoyed your break! Property Owner

  • "The property is very clean and had everythung we needed inside."

    It was warm and cosy The bed was very comfy and the shower iwas great. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. Parking wasnt an issue as we didnt use the car a great deal and you canload/unload at the door. The only thing we missed was an outside space especially as the weather was so good. The yard isnt described as shared in the listing and we were worried about the dog being let out or weeing in the yard., so it meant we couldnt leave the kitchen door open.. Having a washing machine and dishwasher was a bonus though as i dont think they were in the description. Lots of great walks and things to do in the area and very close to the shops and places to eat/drink. A lovely house. We had a great week. Thank you.

    So pleased you had a good week and enjoyed Stone's Throw Ruth, thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

  • "Amazing cottage - what a find!"

    Perfect location - immaculately clean and super comfy. Had everything we needed and more. Not a problem with the parking and although we were disappointed that the yard was shared with another property, it didn't detract from our stay. We just didn't use it at all as it wasn't private. Hosts were super friendly with great communication and even left us a card for our anniversary! Already recommended it to friends and we'll definitely be back - thanks Paul & Sandra.

    Thank you so much for the feedback Julie, we're so pleased you had a good break and enjoyed Stone' Throw and hope you make it back! Property Owner

    The location is excellent within easy walking distance of the town, harbour and local bars and restaurants. Although there is no parking outside of the house we had no trouble parking locally. The house was well equipped and beautifully clean. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. We would certainly return and would recommend it to family and friends.

    Lovely welcome pack for both dogs and humans. Perfect for trips to surrounding areas. The only negative is that there is no garden for dogs to use, but there is a large area down to the marina a few strides away. Parking was no problem at all.

    It is evident that the owners have thought through everything their visitor's may need. Clean, well appointed and equipped. Any problems and they are quickly "on it." We had no problems with parking nearby and our dog enjoyed the large green area just a few minutes walk away which made up for the lack of a garden.

  • "This is a great property and is really well positioned in the lovely seaside town - for the shops and for the marina."

    There are 2 small supermarkets within 2 mins walk in either direction and a bigger one a few mins drive away The property is well equipped for the average family with good storage for coats / boots downstairs and good drawer / wardrobe space upstairs. There were also dog treats and a dog dish for visitors. The property was spotless and had all of the basics that you’d need upon arrival (milk / coffee / sugar / juice etc as well as washing up liquid / tea towels / bath towels etc) Communication from the owners was the most proactive and helpful that I have had from any owners and was much appreciated (although having spent a week in amble for the last 2 years we didn’t need to call upon them). There is also a very useful folder with details of the WiFi etc and a box full of leaflets for things to do in the area. Amble is the best base we have used for Northumberland - you seem to be able to get anywhere quickly and without issue. The only niggle was the noise outside - it wasn’t bad at all - but on 2 consecutive mornings I was woken by the bin / refuse wagon (to be fair I did have the window open). Really handy to have a grassy area right next to the house for the early morning / late night dog walk (but if going in winter months please take a torch !) Loved it and I would definitely recommend it.

    So pleased you enjoyed your stay Nikki. Thank you for the positive, informative feedback and hope you continue visiting Amble! Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage, well maintained, very clean , I believe recently renovated to good standard."

    Beds very comfy, bathroom tastefully decorated, with sufficient towels, etc Kitchen appliances all brand new, cooker easy to use, perhaps a steamer to use, would save on cooking things individually, plus help with electric, no cleaning products to use if you have a disaster, extra bags for rubbish, plus no recycling properly yet in your area, which has nothing to do with cottage, just environment. Situated in lovely area, marina at bottom of street, with plenty of shops on your doorstep if needed, plus market on Sunday in harbour which was very busy. Plenty of walks round about, and other areas to visit of interest, would definitely come again, only problem for our group, as I brought a friend who has mobility problems, using the stairs for toilet and bed was difficult, again something I should have thought of before I came, but would definitely recommend the cottage to anyone for a break in Northumberland, plus thank you for lovely welcome pack on arrival from Janet, Alan and Diane

    The owners have thought of absolutely everything to make sure you feel very well looked after. The fixtures and fittings have been very well finished, the house is spotlessly clean and they have gone above and beyond with little extras to make it feel modern yet comfy, even leaving dog treats, biscuits, tea/coffee and Prosecco as a welcome gift which was a lovely touch. The folder of information about the area was very helpful, especially as we’d never visited there before. Details including local pubs and restaurants that welcome dogs was especially useful and the best beaches for surfing and other local attractions came in very handy. The location is brilliant as it’s very near shops, takeaways, bars and the fishing port for early morning and evening strolls. I would highly recommend this for a couple, families (and dogs) as there’s something to suit all! Thank you so much and we’ll definitely be returning!

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.
