Thoroughly recommended

Keith October 2024

“Only down side was not allowing dog into shared courtyard.”

- Keith, October 2024
Yvette September 2024

“We loved the cottage, so clean and everything you could possibly need.”

It's a great base for visiting Northumberland.

- Yvette, September 2024
Louise September 2024

“Beautifully clean and very well equipped.”

Warm and cosy. Excellent location. Doggy welcome pack was a nice touch. Shared yard so you can't let the dog out was the only negative.

- Louise, September 2024
Sandra September 2024

“Had a lovely stay at Cora’s house so much so that we have booked again for next year.”

The only drawback is the street parking as it’s a bit of a lottery if you can get a space near to the property due to its close proximity to the high street.

- Sandra, September 2024
Joanna August 2024

“Coras is very well appointed, with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.”

Situated in a quiet street, but very close to the bustling centre of Amble, and also good access to green space to exercise my dog Dottie. Good base for exploring the Nothumberland coast. There was a book for suggestions, so i suggested maybe a footstool. Hope to come back some time.

- Joanna, August 2024
Edward June 2024

“Lovely little cottage, very clean and well equipped too, beds comfortable, kitchen spot on and also we found the niegbours were really nice.”

Parking outside was no problem and local shops/ restaurants literally 2 minutes away and a short stroll to the harbour side. Some lovely beaches in the area too

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner

“Beautiful cottage, we are a family of four and it had everything we needed, very comfortable and clean.”

Great location in easy walking distance to the town centre of Amble as well as the harbour and beaches. Would definitely recommend.

Denise May 2024

“Felt like home from home the minute we got there.”

Appreciated all the little extras i.e. milk in the fridge, tea/coffee tray. Parking was not an issue at all. Co-op supermarket was 2 minutes away. Ideal location to visit the Northumberland coast. Buses to Alnwick frequent if you don't wish to drive. Amble is a lovely base. Warkworth Castle a must and only a mile and half away. Amy as a contact was reassuring. Outside space limited, but we didn't really need it for our holiday. Would highly recommend.

- Denise, May 2024

So glad you enjoyed your stay at Coras. We look forward to welcoming you back ! Property Owner

Hazel February 2024

“Very well equipped, cosy cottage, convenient to all amenities in Amble and a great base to explore the Northumberland coast.”

Plentiful, good quality kitchen equipment, spacious kitchen, lovely bedding and towels and amazingly quiet for a small terraced house. Tiny shared yard, unsuitable for dogs, but only a two minute walk to grassy area and 5 minutes from The Braid and Harbour. Would definitely recommend and return.

- Hazel, February 2024

Thank you for your kind review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Jayne February 2024

“What a gem, I absolutely loved my stay in this wonderful, comfortable, and stylish cottage.”

I can highly recommend Cora's. Everything is on your doorstep, and the beaches nearby are wild and beautiful. I felt safe and comfortable which is important as a single traveller. I would like to give a special mention to Amy who looks after the cottage and does an outstanding job.

- Jayne, February 2024

“Cosy warm comfortable cottage.”

Spotlessly clean and very well finished. Lovely touches for both me and my dog with welcome treats ! Amy was super helpful. Very quiet considering the built up area and easy parking.

Joanne September 2023

“No complaints.”

Coras has everything you need for a comfortable break. It was positioned perfectly for visiting the shops and restaurants of Amble. There was never any problem parking, though it wasn't always right at the door. It was especially good not to have to buy washing up liquid, bin bags etc. Very generous to provide all these things. Good to have milk waiting in the fridge, and a little selection of biscuits.

- Joanne, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Helen July 2023

“Cora's was lovely, very clean and had everything we needed for our stay.”

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We try so hard to make Coras a great place to stay. Your comments are much appreciated. Property Owner
Caroline July 2023

“What a lovely well maintained house.”

Perfect size for me and my dog. Great location as within easy reach of the harbour and fabulous beach walks. Local facilities close to hand and a small area to take the dog for that quick wee

John June 2023

“What a lovely property, very clean and very comfortable, and the lovely Amy who helped us out with a couple of small problems.”

It was such a shame as my wife became ill, so we left earlier than we would've liked. We will hopefully be back soon.

- John, June 2023

Thank you for the great feedback. Such a shame your stay was cut short. We hope your wife is feeling better soon and you can stay at Coras again ! Property Owner

Lucy December 2022

“It was a beautiful property, the bathroom and kitchen were done to a very high standard.”

It was lovely to stay local to family over the festive period. There is a bit of damp in the property but it looks like it's been treated just needs covering. However that doesn't effect the use of the house! The high ceilings make the house feel bigger and as a family of 5, I thought it was going to be a squeeze in a 2 bed house. However it was perfect for all of us! It's in a perfect location especially for family dog walks down to the beach which was enjoyed by all, especially the dog. There was everything you needed to cook, clean and live comfortably. The only thing we needed to buy was food. The beds were very comfortable and the towels were soft and fluffy. We noticed that a lot of essentials were sustainable alternatives instead of one use options. There were also things sourced responsibly like the dishwasher tablets. The option to recycle was great as it isnt always. We will definitely be back!

- Lucy, December 2022

Hello Lucy! Thank you for your feedback. So glad you enjoyed your time at Coras. Just to let you know. The small patch of damp has been treated. The cottage was due for a freshen up with decorating just after you left. It’s now ready for the season ahead. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Rebecca November 2022

“The lovely house has all that you need for a cosy and comfortable stay with friendly and helpful contact from Amy.”

And the location is perfect. It’s quiet but just 2 min walk to the small shops and a cut through to a large green space to walk the dog towards the harbour. The lovely Warkworth village and beach is just a mile or two away which is the start of so many glorious beaches and villages to explore

- Rebecca, November 2022
Karen October 2022

“Second visit to Coras House this year.”

Lovely home from home in fabulous position. Thanks for another lovely week.

- Karen, October 2022
Gillian October 2022

“The only complaint we had was having to strip the bed linen due to Covid which seemed an excuse to do less to us.”

- Gillian, October 2022
Margaret September 2022

“This was our 2nd visit to CORAS House & just as enjoyable the 2nd time around.”

The locality is perfect for exploring so much of the beautiful county of Northumberland. Great places to eat close by along with other handy facilities. The locals are lovely, so welcoming. We only use public transport to arrive & explore & we manage to get to anywhere we want with the regular bus services in addition to the lovely walks on the doorstep. Highly recommended accommodation & location!!

- Margaret, September 2022
Maureen September 2022

“Coras House is comfortable and well equiped and very clean.”

We enjoyed our stay. The outside space is limited a small yard shared with three houses. We had washing hung across the back door from one of the other properties. Amble is lovely and the beaches in the area are stunning..

- Maureen, September 2022
Judith July 2022

“Lovely cottage in a great location.”

Found the stripping of 3 beds a bit of a rush with 3 of us trying to get showered, have breakfast and be out of the cottage by 10:00. At £300 for a 2 night stay, bed stripping is really the job of the property owners/housekeeping.

- Judith, July 2022
Robert July 2022

“Everything was great.”

All furnishings and fittings were first first class especially in the kitchen where absolutely everything was provided. The shower room was also very well appointed. The cleanliness was faultless thanks to Amy. Excellent location, especially for walking our dog and sightseeing. Amble is a delightful place and perfect for exploring the Northumberland coastline and all it has to offer. There was one small downside to this glowing review and that was the television. Excellent equipment, but a total inability to watch anything in the conventional manner. It absolutely defeated me as has.been reported in other reviews. I have since been informed by Amy that a new aerial is to be installed next week. Robert Martin.

- Robert, July 2022
Angela July 2022

“We had a great time at Amble and really enjoyed staying at Coras cottage, the accommodation was lovely and beautifully presented, we made friends with some of the neighbours too!”

- Angela, July 2022
Geoff June 2022

“The small child like chairs were a frustration as was the so called TV which we never understood!”

The 'shared' garden/patio area was too near the other users so unusable really. We seem to receive many duplicate emails from you. Could these be reduced? Your communivation was very good but too much paper. The cottage was well presented and we had a very good holiday so thank you one and all. Geoff and Karen Bishop

- Geoff, June 2022
George June 2022

“Everything was very good, though the TV was a bit frustrating.”

Amble is a lovely village with lots of good restaurants. Easy access from Cora's. Loved visiting the penguins at Farne (from Seahouses) and lots of good nature walks from Amble and the surroundings. Though the boat from Amble was cancelled due to weather. Would like better assistance regarding recycling. For example, what to do with bottles?

- George, June 2022
Monika May 2022

“Nice cottage, near town.”

Co op not far away. To the harbor 10 Min by foot. My dog felt happy, at the end of the street is a big lawn where he could run without a lead. You shareing the backyard of the cottage with 2 other familys, but nobody used it. The batroom and shower was a dream but the mattress has to replaced. It is not more comfortable. Otherwise i could recommend Cora's cottage.

- Monika, May 2022
Keith May 2022

“The cottage is beautifully fitted out and very clean ,just a few changes would improve things ,my wife struggled to sleep because the curtains did,nt keep the light out,the idea to not have live TV is tiresome the whole point of a cottage is home comforts.”

The lack of outside space was also a shame,parking was a lottery first come first served.

- Keith, May 2022
Margaret May 2022

“We cannot express our satisfaction enough.”

The cottage was perfect for us. The location allowed us to visit all the places on our list, all on the local buses. The Wellwood Inn, just around the corner provided good food served by great staff. The harbour is delightful. Check out the Geordie Banger but. We are already planning our return visit to this beautifully presented clean cottage. Thank you so much!

- Margaret, May 2022
Nigel April 2022

“Beautiful cottage, well equipped and exceptionally clean.”

Close to town centre and harbour. Enough room for two adults and three children.

- Nigel, April 2022
Dawn April 2022

“We had a fabulous week in Cora’s Cottage.”

Really well equipped for our family of 5 and fab location within Amble. Lovely places to eat within walking distance. Would thoroughly recommend.

- Dawn, April 2022
Jon March 2022

“This is a lovely warm, comfortable cottage, in an excellent location to visit all that Amble has to offer.”

It has a lovely kitchen and bathroom. It was extremely clean and well equipped. Would highly recommend, especially as it is dog friendly, with treats and bowls provided. There is no real outdoor space but there is a field just at the end of the street. We found it easy to park our car in the street outside.

- Jon, March 2022
Karen March 2022

“Cora's house is a lovely comfortable home from home.”

It is very well equipped, and spotlessly clean. It is in an enviable position, close to the main street and with an area to exercise our dog. Amble is a good base for exploring Northumberland. Thanks for a good week, and for the little extras especially the dog treats. Mac loved them.

- Karen, March 2022
Ruth February 2022

“We loved Cora's House!”

It's a lovely, cosy cottage on a quiet street in the centre of Amble close to shops, restaurants and, best of all, the sea! It's just a short walk to the harbour, the marina and the little town beach. The house is beautifully presented, very clean and very well equipped. Thank you for a super holiday. We hope to be back soon.

- Ruth, February 2022
Pamela January 2022

“A lovely comfortable cottage with everything required for our stay.”

Maybe a little more clarity on recycling would have been helpful. We would certainly recommend it to friends and hopefully return ourselves.

The property

Resting near the coast in Amble, Northumberland is this charming, mid-terrace cottage of Coras House.

The wonderful abode is a superb base for a family of five wanting to make the most of Northumberland's idyllic coastline.

Make your way inside to find a pleasant living/dining room and be enveloped by the warmth of the electric fire; switch on the Smart TV and cosy up on the sofa for the evening.

When you're feeling a little peckish, progress through the property to the kitchen, a space enjoying grey, shaker-style cabinets that offer an array of appliances that will make any self-catering stay a breeze!

When dinner has been enjoyed, take it over to the neighbouring, fold-leaf dining table and crack open a bottle of wine to toast to this seaside escape!

As the day comes to an end, climb the stairs to find two well-appointed bedrooms, with one hosting a triple bunk, a double with single over, that enjoys a nautical theme, and the other being a double that features pretty touches.

Nearby is a brilliant shower room that enjoys metro tiling and contemporary facilities, including a spacious, glass shower and a countertop basin.

Being a short distance from Amble's high street means you've got all your amenities at your feet, including several eateries and shops.

Amble is also home to a delightful harbour, where you can spend some time boat-spotting, before wandering down to the beach and marina for some fun in the sun; the town isn't far from the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, meaning ample beaches, footpaths and cycleways are just moments away!

Why not pay the village of Warkworth a visit, with its medieval castle ruins providing entertaining, audio tours and the winding River Coquet offering a quaint, riverside footpath, where you can spot the fascinating landmark of Warkworth Hermitage on a stroll.

For even more coastal fun, travel a little further afield to Seahouses, a large village offering boat tours to the enchanting Farne Islands, guided walks around the village where you can learn of the area's history and The Bunker, an amusement centre that is bound to entertain the little ones!

There are many settlements waiting to be explored in Northumberland such as Morpeth, Alnwick, Bamburgh and Alnmouth, just to name a few, whilst the Northumberland National Park can also be reached, with its abundance of outdoors activities.

Treat yourself and loved ones to a memorable break at Coras House.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £50.

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.
