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.

Clare
A huge difference was the open driveway. Just drive up and park. Other changes made the bungalow more inviting. The new furniture and heater in the conservatory and a slightly stripped back version on the decor in general. Amble is a great place to stay,nice shops and harbour huts,cafes and restaurants etc. Amazing beaches on the doorstep and further along the coast in both directions. Arcadie is so worth considering as your holiday home. Comfortable,cosy and a little gem of a place. Thanks to Emma for all you do to make the bungalow so nice to visit.

It had everything we needed and more to make the stay enjoyable. The milk, bread and treats left for our arrival was appreciated. We loved all the old photos of Amble, the cottage felt really connected to the town. Thank you for a great break, we will return.
