    The steep stairs to upper bedrooms and toilet overbath shower I feel a shower beside hot tub and sauna would benefit the difficulty to climb stairs and into a bath after a sauna/hot tub

    Sauna was amazing and hot tub washing machine dishwasher hot air fryer was a surprise welcome pack included milk sugar coffee tea bottle prosecco and shortbread fantastic view of coast from bedroom car boot sale on Saturday and Sunday market on pier located out back where there was a pier local restaurants gift shops in beach huts boat rides local tesco 5 min walk everything on doorstep didn't need to use car once beach 5 mins walk from back door outstanding immaculate and exceptionally good value for money

    Super location right by the sea. Lovely morning walks around the harbour. Accommodation was great, clean and modern. Hosts were very kind with the arrival gift of Prosecco and biscuits. Went down a treat after going in the hot tub and sauna. Superb value for money.

    Lovely home, spotlessly clean & beautifully presented. Modern furnishings, well equipped kitchen & incredibly comfortable beds. The cottage is located right by the harbour area in Amble. Everything is on the doorstep, pub, chippy, cafe, beach & pier. Supermarket a short walk away. Free street parking right outside the door. We loved the extra bonus of the hot tub & sauna, which made the stay extra special. Dressing gowns & slippers were provided. Host is friendly & communication excellent. Thank you for the bottle of bubbly. What a treat! We would definitely stay again.

    Beautiful little house close to the beach and the town, lovely and clean with the massive bonus of a hot tub and sauna at the back of the house, also robes and slippers in the wardrobe for all guests to use . Would definitely like to stay again, hopefully we'll have better weather next time 😄

    Everything was lovely, we had everything we needed and the sauna and hot tub were a great addition to our stay. We were also left a welcome gift by our hosts too. It's a nice location for shops, restaurants and pubs and a great base for travelling around the area.

    Possibly television as we couldn't always steam live tv however the streaming services etc netflix we just logged in to our own so made the most of that during the evenings.

    Location was great, the harbour chip shop is a stone throw away and are just beautiful, great location to explore the north too and a great view to wake up to Warkworth castle in bedroom 2 in the distance.

    I was there with my good friend Wendy. She’s too soft to write a review on how this has been - however I’m not . When we pulled the blinds up , the cord came adrift from the mechanism. She called and told the ‘manager ‘immediately so it would be sorted . She said they were new and it would be sorted , not to try ourselves . I suspect home made- though very nice ;but both blinds went the same way with the first pull up . I thought they should be sorted and complain again but W said we will manage it’s ok. We immediately received a demand from the manager via booking for £800 for the blinds after the ( first ) review was sent in. Not before note . It was seemingly not a problem then. The ‘manager’ literally screamed down the phone , not allowing any explanation that the blinds were not broken , we just hadn’t been left with blinds which were fit for purpose . We had tried to manage. I would never go there again. I’m not saying this for spite but we spent so much money and now feel stressed and exhausted . Such a real shame as the owner has made a lot of effort and we didn’t want to ruin previous good reviews by complaining about blinds that were new and dysfunctional. Really they just needed re threading properly. Booking.com have been good so far but we will I’ll need to consider action relating to possible fraud for the claim etc as it’s unlikely anyone actually thought they were ‘broken ‘. This was really ruined a nice holiday and was totally avoidable. Awful customer service. Especially being screamed at down the phone . My friend was crying afterwards .

    Location great for harbour, cafe, good restaurant. Parking no problem. Beds very comfy. Spacious downstairs . Linen great. Warm. Good price .
