Northumberland holiday cottage

A welcoming terraced property only a stone's throw away from the sea, in the lively fishing port of Amble. The cottage is furnished in a traditional style and offers bright and spacious family accommodation including three comfortable bedrooms, a dining room and a welcoming sitting room. The busy harbour and shops are within walking distance, as well as a sandy beach, whilst a few minutes' drive brings you to historic Warkworth with its majestic medieval castle. Alnwick Castle, which is featured in the 'Harry Potter' films as 'Hogwarts School' is only a few miles further north, with the whole of the coastline easily accessible. With plenty of exciting attractions close to hand, what more could a visitor need than retiring to this cosy retreat after an active day? About the area: Situated at the mouth of the River Coquet and an ideal place for exploring Northumberland is the bustling little seaport of Amble. It is a Historical centre for boatbuilding, and offers a new marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and walks along the coast to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and country park at Druridge Bay. Moored along the harbour wall are large fishing boats which land a variety of fish, prawns, crabs and lobsters - the daily catch can be bought at a fish shop in the harbour. Coquet Island, a mile south of Amble, is an RSPB reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks and boat trips around the island can be organised. Only a short drive away are the pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster and numerous superb beaches, whilst picturesque Warkworth with its castle, and pleasant Alnwick with its castle and award winning gardens are within easy reach.
