Christmas stay 2024
Our group was reduced from 4 to 2 persons, so there was plenty of room & the cottage was very clean, warm & comfortable. The Christmas tree & decorations were tasteful and a lovely hamper, which included mince pies & wine, was a generous gesture. Would definitely recommend and we would love to stay again to explore more of the fabulous Northumberland coast.

Lovely house situation very handy for Amble marina and harbour village.
Lovely property everything we needed only downside was that there was no first aid box, unfortunately one of our group had a bad fall making our way back to the house and while we waited for the ambulance we needed some cleansing wipes or bandages and there wasn’t anything. It would be handy to have a small supply of first aid equipment.
