Amble in the sun
Recently returned from a short stay in Amble where the weather was sunny every day and the spotless accommodation we stayed in was so comprehensively equipped and was in fact excellent in every way. A welcoming basket of food and drink was a really nice gesture. We enjoyed some really nice meals at Lal Khazani in Shilbottle, the Horseshoes in Remington, the Masons Arms Warkworth and Rossini in Amble all of which we would readily eat at again. All in all a really nice stay made so enjoyable by the home from home standard of the accommodation and certainly a place to return to if holidaying in that part of the country again.

Lovely clean bungalow, great location.
We had a lovely stay at Ariel House. The bungalow was beautifully clean and had everything we needed. Location was great, a short easy stroll down to the harbour and little beach. Also easy to drive to many different places of interest. Barbara was very easy to contact and very helpful. We had a lovely stay, thank you!

Arkle house
Arkle House is a bungalow which has everything we look for in a relaxing holiday let. Comfy beds, 2 bathrooms, a garden, and a well equipped kitchen. The decor completes a perfect home. The property is in a good situation with the high street about 20 minutes walk. Great for dogs. To sum up ….we found it to be perfect and are already planning our third visit.

Lovely bungalow and a credit to Barbara. Spotless and located in Amble about 10 minutes from the harbour area. Parking is a bit tight as the property is on an estate road, but with the help of kind neighbours we managed our two cars absolutely fine. Would highly recommend and would happily book again if we returned to the area. 👍

We loved our stay at Ankle house. The property is the cleanest rental house we have ever stopped in and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The welcome hamper with fresh scones was a lovely touch. The owners are helpful and communication was great. Amble and the local area is beautiful. We'd definitely return and would highly recommend.
