Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests report the cottage as clean and well-kept. However, one guest mentioned spending time cleaning upon arrival for peace of mind, suggesting room for improvement in the cleaning process. The high standard of cleanliness is acknowledged in several reviews.
The location is consistently lauded for its excellent views and convenience to the harbour, beaches, and local attractions. Guests appreciate the community feel and the easy access to nature and dining options.
The cottage is generally found to be comfortable and cosy, with a warm atmosphere. Some guests, however, have noted that the mattresses and seating could be improved for enhanced comfort.
Facilities are well-regarded, with the property being described as well-equipped. Nonetheless, there are comments about the need for new frying pans, chipped plates, and a suggestion to reposition the thermostat for better heating control.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no specific mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

We loved walking straight out onto the harbour or even just standing in the window watching the boats and the birds. Would definitely recommend it.

The rear of the property overlooks the harbour, beach and Warkworth Castle, which is lovely. Great cottage for a break with dogs, very practical and clean but nothing fancy. Our only down side would be the boiler being in the main bedroom, it was chilly when we stayed and it switched on and off repeatedly through the night and was rather loud, but not an issue in the summer months. If planning to use the log burner you will need to supply logs as only 2 were supplied, despite a locked log store full in the back yard, we just didn't bother using it as there were barely sufficient to light it. Overall a great base for Amble and surrounding areas, but be prepared to supply what you need, tea, coffee, milk, bin bags etc there were few basics other than salt and vinegar, again not a big thing as convenience stores not far away and a good size Supermarket up the road.

Adjacent to the harbour and only a short walk to the shops & high street. Lots of pubs, restaurants & coffee shops literally on the doorstep.. Great base to visit the wider area. The walk from Amble to Warkworth and back is recommended.
