About this property
Resting near the coast in Amble, Northumberland is this charming, mid-terrace cottage of Coras House. The wonderful abode is a superb base for a family of five wanting to make the most of Northumberland's idyllic coastline. Make your way inside to find a pleasant living/dining room and switch on the Smart TV and cosy up on the sofa for the evening. When you're feeling a little peckish, progress through the property to the kitchen, a space enjoying grey, shaker-style cabinets that offer an array of appliances that will make any self-catering stay a breeze! When dinner has been enjoyed, take it over to the neighbouring, fold-leaf dining table and crack open a bottle of wine to toast to this seaside escape! As the day comes to an end, climb the stairs to find two well-appointed bedrooms, with one hosting a triple bunk, a double with single over, that enjoys a nautical theme, and the other being a double that features pretty touches. Nearby is a brilliant shower room that enjoys metro tiling and contemporary facilities, including a spacious, glass shower and a countertop basin. Being a short distance from Amble's high street means you've got all your amenities at your feet, including several eateries and shops. Amble is also home to a delightful harbour, where you can spend some time boat-spotting, before wandering down to the beach and marina for some fun in the sun; the town isn't far from the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, meaning ample beaches, footpaths and cycleways are just moments away! Why not pay the village of Warkworth a visit, with its medieval castle ruins providing entertaining, audio tours and the winding River Coquet offering a quaint, riverside footpath, where you can spot the fascinating landmark of Warkworth Hermitage on a stroll. For even more coastal fun, travel a little further afield to Seahouses, a large village offering boat tours to the enchanting Farne Islands, guided walks around the village where you can learn of the area's history and The Bunker, an amusement centre that is bound to entertain the little ones! There are many settlements waiting to be explored in Northumberland such as Morpeth, Alnwick, Bamburgh and Alnmouth, just to name a few, whilst the Northumberland National Park can also be reached, with its abundance of outdoors activities. Treat yourself and loved ones to a memorable break at Coras House.
Amble, a lively small seaport at the mouth of the River Coquet, is a great starting point for exploring Northumberland. Amble, once a boatbuilding centre, now has a marina, a harbour, sandy beaches, and coastal hikes to Hauxley Bird Sanctuary and Druridge Bay Country Park. Fish, prawns, crabs, and lobsters are landed by large fishing boats moored along the harbour wall. On the other side of the port, there is a fish facility that sells local fish to the public.

Warm and cosy. Excellent location. Doggy welcome pack was a nice touch. Shared yard so you can't let the dog out was the only negative.
