“Great place.”

Comfy and dog friendly. Decor and upstairs doors could do with update. Possible damp at front room exterior wall that may need addressing? However, warm, ideal location and very well equipped, even if the oven defeated us! Dog bowls, towels and throws were excellent touch. We brought our own as not many places are so well supplied. Looking forward to a return visit. Loved Amble.

“This place is beautiful.”

Very cosy and tastefully furnished. Close to everything including the sea!we thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s really spacious too and I was pleased to see that it truly resembles the photos rather than involving camera trickery! It’s absolutely lovely and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Particular highlights are the bed and bedding and a lovely deep bath

You can tell the owners have made an improvement in the decore . Amble is a really nice location to travel from to see Northumberland at its best . The owner of the property was very helpful . We'll definitely consider staying again .

“A lovely place to stay on a quiet street with a park and the sea at the end of the street.”

Shops/chip shop just round corner and a 15min walk to high street shops. Cottage itself was clean and equipped with everything you could need.Amble Sunday market is worth a visit and just round the corner on harbour.

- Gary, August 2024
Adrian August 2024

“Enjoyed our stay in a very well appointed cottage.”

The standard of the interior was very good, you could tell the owners went the extra mile with the furnishings and ornaments. I did have worries about parking initially (neighbour with over zealous signage) but in the end there were no issues. The location was very handy for local amenities. Amble was a very pleasant surprise for me, I knew little about the town prior to our stay but it turned out to be a great location.

Penny July 2024

“We had a lovely week in Seashell Cottage.”

The cottage itself is within walking distance of the sea, harbour, shop, pub and chip shop, and centrally placed for visiting the surrounding area. We found the cottage really comfortable, clean and cosy, and we loved the decor. All our holiday needs were catered for, even our two dogs had bowls and towels provided! It was our first time in Northumberland, and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending staying in Seashell Cottage.

“Lovely clean cottage.”

Great location in the town, nice and close to the harbour. Highly recommended

“The house requires money spending on it as it’s worn out.”

TV aerial needs looking at. All channels breaking up in the evening. Bathroom sink hot tap broken. Years of dust under the settees and kitchen unit as toy cars went under them and came out covered in lots of dust and cobwebs. The back yard hadn’t been swept for months. Plants in pots dead.

- Linda, June 2024

We’re very sorry to hear your feedback as the bathroom has just been fully refurbished in May this year. The sofas are moved each week and the floor swept and mopped. The yard is repainted every year and is due again in august. Property Owner

“Seashell Cottage was a lovely, cozy place for my stay in Amble.”

I regularly visit Amble with my wee Border Terrier, Wor Bob, and I have stayed in many holiday Lets. The owner, Steve, was excellent to communicate with and informed me of a couple of very small maintenance issues, which did not affect my stay but I appreciated him mentioning. At the price, Seashell Cottage was excellent value. Its location was perfect for access to the harbour / pier, shops ( a Premier Store is only 100yards away ) Being able to use the back door for easier access was very convenient, especially if you have a dog with you during your stay. The log burner would be wonderful in the severe winter but the central heating system was superb so the log burner was never needed during my stay. The decor was tasteful and all the appliances were flawless. The bath was wonderful with lots of very hot water on demand. The bed was extremely comfortable ( I only used the large bedroom but the twin room looked great ). I never used the cooker, as I ate out all the time but it was extremely clean. The addition of dog bowls and towels were a nice touch. All in all, I would highly recommend Seashell Cottage and would love to return. Thank you Steve.

- Peter, April 2024
Laura March 2024

“Such a beautiful, homely cottage.”

Beautifully clean and tidy, so welcoming. The location is perfect, we especially loved the pier. We found the sofas super comfortable and the log burner was very welcome on chilly evenings. Your bed is super comfy too and the room was nice and warm . Thank~You for a lovely stay .

- Laura, March 2024
Linda March 2024

“The property could do with a good clean, dirty marks on the walls in the toilet, doors had sticky finger marks all over them, there were also maintenance issues.”

Some of which were mentioned to us by the owner, kitchen tap dripping constantly. Overall very disappointing. To top it off, the owner contacted us on our journey home, to ask where the plug from the kitchen sink was, implying that we had stolen it. We have stayed in many cottage’s over the years and 99% of them had been of a good standard, on this occasion, we definitely would NOT return.

- Linda, March 2024
Linda March 2024

“Had a good week's stay in this lovely cottage with our two dogs.”

We had previously stayed in this cottage some 7 years ago which was under different ownership and has been beautifully updated since. The cottage is very central to all amenities and a great base to explore the surrounding areas. The cottage has everything you need and even towels, throws and dog bowl but we usually take our own. We would certainly book this property again.

- Linda, March 2024
Beryl March 2024

Excellent location for enjoying the village, harbour and beach. Couldn't fault anything.

“Absolutely fantastic location, clean and comfortable rooms which are much bigger than they look on the website!”

We had an absolutely glorious New Years week stay - it was exactly what we were hoping for, and more! We hope to be back at seashell cottage soon!

- Kate, December 2023
Estelle September 2023

“The property was lovely and homely, everything was there except casserole dishes which I just couldn't find.”

It was just want we needed. Plenty of beaches not to far away, restaurants in easy reach. Would definitely go again

- Karen, September 2023
Kathy September 2023

“Seashells Cottage is a homely holiday stay.”

It has all your cleaning and cooking equipment. Cooker, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, freezer a proper home from home. The location of the property is very good, it's close to all amenities and to the beach which is at the end of the street. I was a little disappointed to find that that dogs are not allowed

- Kathy, September 2023
Jane September 2023

“This is a lovely cottage, beautifully presented, clean, and well equipped.”

The hosts are friendly and helpful. The location is great, close to both the town centre and the coast. We would definitely recommend staying here.

- Jane, September 2023
Lorraine June 2023

“We had a lovely week in amble.”

Seashell cottage was perfect for us, couple of minutes walk from the shops and harbour. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, great nights sleep beds are so comfy. We took the bus to a different place everyday buses were about every half hour and on time. We went to alnwick seahouses, ashington, morpeth and we walked along to warkworth took about 20mins. Sunday market is one of the best I've been to in a very long time. We'll definitely be back and would definitely choose seashell cottage again.

- Lorraine, June 2023
Ian June 2023

“Super holiday the cottage was superb, weather wonderful.”

The owners were fantastic, our car we broke down just off the A1 and were transported to the cottage by Green flag recovery. The owners were wonderful allowing us into the cottage earlier. Thank you for all the help and assistance, my dad died the week before our holiday and we were hoping for a relaxing break before returning home for his funeral. Every one really helped to make this possible including the mechanic at the local garage. Thank you again to everyone, we will return to Amble and the lovely cottage at a later date.

- Ian, June 2023
Susan June 2023

“Very well equipped and clean property, in an ideal location.”

Neighbours and local people were friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back to this property if we wanted to visit the area again, but as it was our first time in Northumberland, we will probably try another location, further north maybe, next time.

- Susan, June 2023
Roger April 2023

“Lovely cosy and relaxing holiday cottage.”

Great pubs and coffee shops within easy walking all made for a great week away. Will definitely return.

- Roger, April 2023
Helen March 2023

“This was a lovely, very comfortable cottage in a fantastic position in the very gorgeous Amble.”

It's a stone's throw from the harbour and lovely clifftop walks. The house is well equipped and spacious for what (from the outside) seems a small cottage. The lounge and kitchen diner are spacious, as are the 2 bedrooms and the bathroom. There's only a little courtyard out the back but this was a late winter visit for us and we didn't take our dog, so it was fine. We WOULD consider taking the dog here, however, as the walks from the door are very easy. Amble has surprisingly good amenities, including some excellent fish restaurants (try the Fish Shack, right by the sea or its sister restaurant, the Old Boathouse) as well as a range of cafes, shops, etc. We had a fantastic time here and would return in a heartbeat - we wish it was a bit nearer for us!

- Helen, March 2023
Michelle February 2023

“A lovely cottage, had everything you would need.”

Nice and cosy even without the fireplace being on. Amble is absolutely stunning. A really nice and welcoming community. Lovely walks, you can walk just to the park or to the beach only minutes on the door step. We taken a walk with the dogs to Warkworth and then onto the beach (5 hours walk). We stopped of at the mason arms which is dog friendly and even have dog ice cream (which my dogs loved). I didn’t rate the fish and chips from the local chip shop( up from the Chinese on the corner). Chinese from Golden Harbour was nice.

- Michelle, February 2023

“Our 2nd stay here.”

We love this cottage (& Amble!). Comfy & well appointed, just a stones throw from the beach, shops and restaurants. Perfect. Always good communication from Steve the owner. We will be back!

Very comfortable bed! Great dog friendly property. We had a lovely week here.

Marilyn October 2022

“Seashell cottage was cosy and bright and retained heat well.”

It is in an excellent position a short walk from the harbour, beach and restaurants and there are many good walks in the local area. The bedrooms and living areas are very comfortable. All was as per the listing except for the back yard. This was very disappointing and not up to Sykes’s usual high standard. It was dirty with mouldy walls and dead plants and an elderly dirty back door mat. I have photographic proof if required. The cottage was reasonably stocked for self-catering except there were only 2 normal size saucepans and only one with a lid. It would have been tricky to cook a meal for 4. I would recommend the cottage but the yard needs work or if not the listing and photos need to reflect its condition.

- Marilyn, October 2022

Thank you for your feedback. The yard has not been able to be decorated this year due to coming out of the pandemic and the property being solidly booked since then. The yard needs three dry, empty days to repaint and so this has simply not been possible due to the volume of bookings. The mat has been replaced. I wouldn't agree there are insufficient pans etc there are more than enough for up to 4 guests. Property Owner
Bernadette September 2022

“We had a wonderful week in Amble, staying in this gorgeous house.”

We had everything we needed and it truly is a home from home. The living room is beautiful, very quirky and fun and the kitchen is very well equipped. The bed is sooo comfortable and the shower is hot and powerful. We didn't use the fire in the living room as the weather was very kind and the house was lovely and warm. Amble is a wonderful small town, lots of places to eat out, very nice pubs and two microbreweries and just about everywhere is dog friendly. It was our first holiday here and we're already planning our return trip.

- Bernadette, September 2022
Eileen September 2022

“The property was exactly as the online photos - it was lovely and cosy, well equipped, the bed was comfortable and it's location was good.”

We would definitely like to return in the future and would highly recommend it to others.

- Eileen, September 2022
James August 2022

“Seashell Cottage was a wonderful base for us for our holiday in Northumberland.”

The property is in excellent condition, was spotlessly clean and is very well equipped. Amble itself is a beautiful village and was an excellent base from which to explore the beautiful Northumberland region.

- James, August 2022
Simon July 2022

“Stayed at Seashell Cottage from the 25th to 29th July.”

The cottage was lovely and had everything we could need there including an enclosed back yard so the dog could go out. The owner was very helpful and provided information on where to go in the area. The cottage is in a great location, just a short walk from the harbour in one direction and the local beach in the other. Amble is really lovely place, not too busy, and its only a short drive from some other places on the Northumberland coastline. Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

- Simon, July 2022
Deborah July 2022

“Everything was as described.”

Location and property were just perfect! Loved the extra details for dogs.… bowls, blankets and towels. Friendly neighbours. We couldn’t have asked for anything else. Thank you.

- Deborah, July 2022
Mel May 2022

“Lovely property, beds were amazing and the property decor was lovely.”

What would be good would be to have a sign in the window to say parking for the property only. Numerous times we couldnt park until we placed a note in the window

- Mel, May 2022

The parking may be an issue at times but at the risk of annoying permanent residents, we prefer our guests to have a more respectful and pragmatic approach to parking especially when guests have more than one vehicle. There is always parking just not necessarily on the actual doorstep. The sign is down for that exact reason. Property Owner
Martin May 2022

“Seashell Cottage is very clean, spacious and comfortable.”

It is in an excellent location just a few minutes walk from all the facilities that Amble has to offer and very close to an excellent coastal path. There are many Northumberland attractions only short car rides from Amble. This was our first visit to this part of the country but it will not be our last. We would highly recommend Seashell Cottage, Amble and Northumberland.

- Martin, May 2022
Jane May 2022

“The cottage was in an excellent location and within walking distance to the beach, town and harbour.”

There was a lovely ice cream parlour, a Tesco Express and a great fish and chip shop nearby. We can recommend the Puffin Cruise too. It was very tastefully decorated throughout and equipped with everything you would need. Our only small issue was that when streaming Amazon Video or the ITV hub it would suddenly drop out and stop working - in the grand scheme of things it didn’t spoil our experience. We would highly recommend this cottage as it was good value for money and a lovely place to stay.

A lovely cottage in a great location, nice and warm, overall clean and tidy, the only room that needs a bit of update is the bathroom, otherwise a very comfortable and warm stay

- Colin, May 2022
Emma April 2022

“Lovely cottage in good location very close to sea and amenities.”

Comfortable beds and plenty of space. It is a lovely light cottage - really airy and bright. Parking is on street outside but we were always able to park easily. Only small issue is that WiFi is not strong enough for Netflix or Amazon to work properly on the tv. Otherwise, fabulous. We would recommend this place.

- Emma, April 2022

Thank you so much for the positive feedback, delighted you had a good stay. The broadband and router have been checked and are streaming both Prime and Netflix without any problem. First time the issue has been raised by any guests in the four years we’ve had the property but I will keep an eye on it. Property Owner
Jennifer March 2022

“We had a fabulous holiday and Seashell Cottage was just perfect for us.”

It has everything you could wish for and is very comfortable - exactly what you need after a day exploring the area. Amble is a great little town and is in a great location for visiting other parts of the county. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you

- Jennifer, March 2022

It contains everything anyone could possibly want and the decorations throughout the cottage are beautiful.Lovely friendly people in Amble and the Sunday market is well worth a visit.Thank you Steve for having us and such excellent communication with you.

Plenty of kitchen utensils which makes a change . No problem with parking neighbourhoods friendly . Plenty of places to eat around although we only had lunches out . Nice beaches to walk on .

Sonya October 2021

“Lovely property, very clean, great communication with the owner.”

Very comfy and homely, bed was super comfy and lovely bedding. Very dog friendly with towels and bowls ready for use. Very central short walk to the centre of Amble, close to fish and chip shop, Chinese takeaway, Indian, and lots of other restaurants. We parked our car easily outside every day. We loved Bamburgh (40 minutes away) and all the coast with some amazing beaches, lots of dog friendly places. We will definitely be back

- Sonya, October 2021
Helen October 2021

“Lovely cottage furnished in keeping with its' name.”

Warm and cozy, great location with walks both way down the beach practically from your door. Hope to visit again soon

- Helen, October 2021
Barbara September 2021

“The cottage was as we would have wished but the kitchen layout left a lot to be desired.”

The lighting was very poor when we were washing up after dinner we had to open the blind so that the streetlight shone in. Great having a dishwasher, where were the tablets? Washing machine great, we found the clothesline and pegs but there was nowhere to attach it to. The freezer was very badly iced up and the inside top of the door was damaged. The microwave was not secure I would have been very concerned about this if I had had youngsters with me . The mat in the back bedroom slid across the floor to easily Couldn’t use the key to open front door from outside

- Barbara, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback for Seashell Cottage. The kitchen has energy saving lights bulbs which take 30 seconds to come on fully and are working perfectly. Regarding the dishwasher tablets, the property is self catering and you do have to provide your own. Unfortunately the freezer had been turned off causing this to ice up, the freezer door does have a protective cover and this is not damaged. There is a clothes horse in the kitchen cupboard with the pegs. We have checked the microwave and this is secure on the bench top. Our bedroom mat had a non slip mat underneath it. We have checked the front door locks and can confirm that everything is working perfectly Property Owner
Fiona September 2021

“This cottage is just lovely, it’s larger than we expected, spotlessly clean and filled with quirky little features that reflect the care the owner has put into it.”

Parking wasn’t an issue, we got a space right outside every day. It is ideally situated a short walk from the beach and harbour, where we came across a bustling Sunday market, and there are good quality restaurants within walking distance too. Highly recommended- we will be back!!

- Fiona, September 2021
Val September 2021

“A lovely little cottage very comfortably furnished.”

Its nice to go somewhere that welcomes your four legged members of the family too. The cottage is perfectly placed to discover Amble and surrounding areas.

- Val, September 2021

“Fabulous cottage to a very high standard and attention to detail.”

Would recommend for a couple or family of four. Fantastic beaches, great places to eat, the perfect holiday!

- Tina, August 2021
Bill July 2021

“The accommodation was very excellent, comfortable and characterful and well placed for all that is Amble.”

Amble is a beautiful seaside town full of character and is a pure pleasure to stroll around. The Sunday market was a thriving market well worth a visit! Amble is well placed for visiting the whole of the Northumberland coast which is a beautiful place to be. We will certainly be back.

- Bill, July 2021
Martin June 2021

“We really enjoyed staying at Seashell Cottage,everything you needed was provided for as well as some nice extra touches like dog towels,its a comfortable place to stay and you feel at home,the owner Steve rang in the middle of the first week to make sure everything was ok which i thought was nice,its also handy for the local shops and main high street and an excellent chippy(harbour fish bar) just round the corner,also Morrisons is only a short car ride away,and for walkers virtually on the coastpath, the locals are also very friendly and helpful as we took time to chat to them,would recommend and be more than happy to stay again, cheers Steve.”

Fabulous seafood restaurants and Amble was a delight.

Lesley May 2021

“My husband and I always book and pay for a 2 bed cottage as this meets our requirements.”

On walking into the twin room a note had been placed in there. It said as we booked as a couple could we not use that bedroom unless absolutely necessary. The assumption was it seems that all couples share not just a bedroom but also a bed. We do not due to medical conditions that each of us have. However to compromise we used the twin room. This led to neither of us sleeping well so we ended up leaving the cottage early to go home. I fully understand about covid restrictions and the need to deep clean and the time this requires. However don't assume couples share sleeping facilities and let them decide which beds they wish to use. After all we pay for the full use of the cottage which includes any bedroom/bedrooms we choose. Had we only needed 1 bedroom then that is all we would have booked and payed for.

- Lesley, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry if you felt you were or should not use the 2nd bedroom, of course you are free to use the whole property during your stay, it was just a request that if not needed, that you don't use it. Property Owner
Elizabeth May 2021

“Sea Shell Cottage was a ideal base for easy access to the beach, harbour, cafes and pods hops.”

We were able to park directly outside the property without parking restrictions or charges. The cottage itself was very spacious for a two bedroom property and had everything we needed for our stay. Decor is lovely and the leather sofas add a nice touch. The king size bed was very comfortable with lovely fresh linen. Ample cupboards and drawer space. There is a wood burner in the lounge but we didn't need to use it as the central heating kept the cottage cosy. The small back yard was okay for sitting outside but could do with a little sprucing up. It's likely that Covid restrictions have kept the owners away from spending time sorting out the back yard. It was private with high walls. A nice sun trap. We have a small dog so appreciated the short walk to the end of the road where we had instant access to the beach and sand dunes. There is a very good childrens play area and adult exercise equipment frames at the end of the road too. Ideal if you have children. Sea Shell Cottage is a ideal place to stay and i highly recommend it if you want a quiet beach holiday. It's a great base to travel to SeaHouses, Bamburgh, Warkworth, and other towns with fabulous beaches. We hope to visit again soon. Loved it!

- Elizabeth, May 2021
Judith May 2021

“The cottage was wonderfully decorated clean and inviting, had everything we required and more to make our stay prefect.”

Amble was the prefect choice of destination to stay as it gave us the opportunity to visit so many places. I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough and cannot wait to visit again

- Judith, May 2021
Richard October 2020

“The cottage was great everything as described and more.”

Small touches for the dogs, everything you needed had been thought of and the bed is so comfortable with clean crisp linen. All in all fabulous already recommended to friends and family. The location is good to two minutes into town and the beach.

Convenient for walking to The Harbour and it's facilities. Good restaurants in Amble town. Super for a lovely quiet break.

Lesley March 2020

“A wonderful break in a lovely cottage.”

It had everything we needed and will definitely be back :)

- Lesley, March 2020
Karen March 2020

“All Seashell Cottage needs is a teapot - we still make tea the old-fashioned way using leaf tea.”

We remembered that there wasn't one from our previous stay here last year so took one of our own along this time. That fact that we have returned to the same cottage for a second time says a lot - this is a great place to stay in a lovely village in one of the most beautiful parts of the country. Lots to see and do nearby (Warkworth, Alnwick, Alnmouth, Morpeth, Cragside and Wallington Hall all worth a visit) and lots of beautiful coastline to enjoy.

- Karen, March 2020
Sally February 2020

“Seashell Cottage was fabulous - one of the best we have ever stayed in, and amazingly good value for money.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean, very tastefully decorated, and the fixtures and fittings were of exceptional quality. Milk and biscuits were left as a welcome for us, and a packet of dog treats for our canine companion. The property is very dog friendly - even dog towels and bowls were provided. Thank you cottage owners and Sykes, we had a lovely holiday.

- Sally, February 2020
Heather November 2019

“Seashell cottage was perfect for our needs.”

.it was beautiful inside and very comfy..hairdryer would have been handy..but I did bring one just in case..it was a lovely surprise having market on harbourside on the Sunday. We loved the cottage and totally recommend

- Heather, November 2019
Chris August 2019

“Lovely modern house, very tastefully decorated with top quality furniture and equipment.”

Would definitely recommend. We did experience kids playing knock and run at ten o'clock at night on our first night, but thankfully they got bored and was just on that first night only. Close to all amenities, loved the pods on the harbour and the park close by was ideal for our kids. Great base for exploring Northumbria, would definitely stay there again!

- Chris, August 2019
Sarah August 2019

“What a brilliant cottage!”

Superbly located and had everything we needed. The cottage felt like home from home. If you're an early riser I can recommend a half 5 walk to the beaches, stunning sun rise! Mr Atkinson was helpful and friendly which just made everything really smooth. Thank you!

- Sarah, August 2019
Stephen July 2019

“Beautifull inside and out.”

..very stylish but functional beds were also comfortable which is usually last on the owner's list we've found in the past ..would definately go again ☺

The owners succeeded in bringing the sea shore theme into the cottage.

“The cottage has had a recent refurbish and so is even better than the description.”

Stylish decor and very well equipped. Amble is well placed to explore both coast and countryside. A good choice.

“I would definitely recommend Seashell cottage, the decor is lovely and the cottage has everything you need.”

It is close to a shop, Chinese takeaway and the most amazing chip shop. There is also a park nearby so great if you have dogs or children.

“This cottage has been upgraded so the photos on the website were no longer valid when we booked.”

The owner has gone to a huge effort to upgrade the property - it is lovely. It's very tastefully furnished and homey. The sofas and furniture are of exceptionally good quality and the appliances are also top of the range. There's loads of space in the kitchen for cooking and a huge dining table with very comfy chairs. The king sized bed has a very comfortable soft mattress and the two singles are also quite comfortable. The log burning stove works very well and the television is a Smart TV so we were able to log into our Netflicks and Prime accounts. I love the sea and the house is so incredibly close to the harbour area, another small sea front area and a small beach. The East Coastal path is also only yards away from the cottage so you can follow the path to loads of other beaches. The owner was also incredibly welcoming and the instructions on how to use everything in the house were great.

“Just returned from 4 days away staying in this lovely cottage, the place was clean spacious, modern and cozy too, everything you needed to make it feel home from home.”

I would strongly recommend staying at Seashell Cottage and with it being dog friendly too was an added bonus. Amble itself is a great place to stay and the perfect location for exploring the local areas such as Alnwick, Craster Alunmouth etc. I will definitely be returning in the future.

“Seashell cottage is a lovely, homely, very clean cottage, bigger than the pictures on the website would have you think.”

Steve and Debbie have thought of everything, fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washing line and pegs! Ironing board and iron. Tea towels, fluffy towels in bathroom, a comfy bed (sooo comfortable)! Big flat screen telly, dvds, books and information on area. Parking was right outside the front door and there is a Co op a 2 minute walk round the corner. To walk into town is 5 minutes, all on the flat if hills are a problem. The sea is at the end of the road with great views of coquette island. You can walk along the seafront to the harbour, there are 2 friendly pubs/ restaurants there. The 'pods' on the harbour are not to be missed, selling cheese to handbags and everything in between! There is lots to do in the surrounding area, we walked to Warkworth along the Estuary and had a lovely Sunday lunch in the pub opposite the castle. The town itself has some lovely shops too. We also visited the Hauxley Nature Reserve, just outside Amble, a lovely walk, lots of birds to see and a nice coffee shop when you're all walked out! ☺️ So much to see and do we are already planning our next trip in September. Seashell Cottage is the perfect base for your holiday. One final thing to say is the cottage smells lovely. Sometimes holiday cottages can smell a bit fusty but seashell Cottage smelt fresh. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

“The cottage was very comfortable and the refurbishment being done are really great.”

Only downfall was the enclosed garden as this was only a small concrete area where there was hardly any room to do anything

If you're a "foodie", this is the place to be.

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.

This property sleeps a maximum of 4 guests including infants.
