Enjoy a stay beside the water in this enticing beachside retreat in Amble, Northumberland. Spend your days building sandcastles in the sunshine, before returning to your holiday home with contemporary design, incredible sea views, and a glass-fronted balcony for early-morning hot drinks.
As you arrive at this striking, welcoming cottage, you can't help but admire its coastal setting, with spectacular views and a west-facing garden that encourages relaxation in salty sea air. Let yourselves inside and discover an impressive open-plan lounge/kitchen. At the heart of the space is the breakfast bar, which is fabulous for grabbing a croissant or a quick coffee. Enjoy sitting together around the table as your head chef whips up a storm in the kitchen, before chatting through your plans in the main lounge. With sea views, comfy furniture and a Smart TV, this is a delightful space from which to kick back. When the weather is kind, savour the sunshine while the kids play on the lawn or sip your bubbles out on the balcony. At bedtime, snuggle down in one of the four well-appointed bedrooms that are located on the first and second floors. Decorated to a high standard, these sumptuous rooms promise a great night’s rest.
Step out of the property, and you’ll find the sea less than half a mile away. Spend hours dipping in the clear water or walking along soft sands, or perhaps, book a boat trip to visit the resident puffins on Coquet Island. The village itself is pretty, with colourful houses, gift shops and a few independent eateries, as well as access to the Northumberland Coast Path. Take the trail in either direction for dramatic scenery. Further afield, Warkworth (2 miles) is quaint, with historic gems, and Alnwick (9.5 miles) offers fairytale architecture and links to famous films and TV shows.
