Overlooking the marina in the bustling boat-faring town of Amble, lose yourself to the sights of bobbing fishing boats and the sounds of the everchanging waters from the comfort of the balcony at this inspiring second-floor apartment. Welcoming four guests, this is the perfect retreat for couples and families who love life on the water.
Your waterfront surroundings never feel far in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner; floor-to-ceiling sliding doors frame breathtaking views across the marina and the coastal colour palette keeps you connected to your stunning scenery past sundown. Let the vibrant views inspire your cooking as you rustle up a feast in the kitchen, kept company by the whole family seated at the kitchen island or around the generous dining table. As the evening draws in, hunker down on the plush sofas and lose yourself in the fantastic views. Boasting more wonderful views and crisp linens, the en-suite king-size and twin bedroom offer everything you need for a peaceful rest before tomorrow’s adventure. On a fine evening, slide open the glass doors from the living room and admire the comings and goings on the waterway below from the comfort of the decked balcony.
Locally known as the ‘friendliest port’, the fishing town of Amble nestled around the River Coquet estuary boasts a harbour packed with fish shacks and brightly coloured beach huts. Hop aboard a boat trip from Amble Harbour, half a mile away, to spot puffins and seals along your journey out to Coquet Island, an RSPB seabird sanctuary home to a 36,000-bird colony a mile off the coast. Spend hours exploring the mighty Warkworth Castle just 2 miles away, a magnificent fortress crowning the hilltop above the River Coquet, before grabbing some of Amble’s best local produce from its array of quaint cafes, restaurants and traditional pubs.
