Island View Cottage Reviews

Lovely accommodation in a very quiet area. Easy walk across the fields to the beach and into Amble. The house is equipped with everything you need and thank you for the milk and plentiful welcome pack, much appreciated!

Our second visit to this lovely property which is homely, very clean and an ideal location to explore around the Northumberland coast and beyond. About a 15minute walk to Low Hauxley which has unspoilt, beautiful sandy beach dog friendly Very wellequipped kitchen, lounge area very cosy with TV, books, games etc provided. Garden at the front with seating but limited access to the back garden which is a shame as the view is amazing looking towards Coquet Island. A small point is that some of the info provided in the property needs updating e.g. bin collection days. All in all, we had a great holiday and would recommend

Brillant cottage beautiful views. Would highly recommend it to family and friends.

This is the second time we've stayed at this cottage . We love it and the area. There are lots of little touches that made our stay a bit special. The dogs loved it, too. My only criticism is that the large sofa in the lounge has had its best, as the seats have lost their support. Apart from that everything is great. The updated bathroom is 1st class.

Richard

Outstanding modern accommodation with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Fully equipped kitchen the owner even replaced a faulty coffee machine the next day. Located close to the sea with a view of Coquet island and near a nature reserve fantastic for bird watching its ideally located within walking distance of Amble. We have booked to stay there next year it was so good.

Christine

We enjoyed our stay at Island View. There was everything we needed, we felt very welcome, there was a very nice tray full of lovely treats and the essentials to make a drink when we arrived. The home was very comfortable and warm. The views from the lounge are stunning.

Jacquie

Absolutely fabulous. Would recommend to anyone. We will definitely go back again.

Justine

Very comfortable, well appointed cottage in a great location for country and coastal walks. Amble is a great little town well supplied with shops, cafes, pubs and the superb restaurant The Fish Shack. Amble is in walking distance 2m, shorter going across the fields but you need good torches at night as there isn't street lighting all the way

Colleen

This was the best bungalow we have stayed in. Everything you needed was supplied. Very comfortable and was greeted with a lovely welcome pack. Beautifully situated and would definitely stay again if we are up in that area. Would recommend 100

Sheilah

Lovely cosy cottage, issue with a noisy radiator sorted straight away by our host Simon. Scrummy welcome pack. Many thanks from Sheila Kev and Dollydog.

Beautiful,clean bungalow,lovely place. You are allowed to take dogs, but I think they are tolerated, not liked. To get round to path to walk the dogs, or walk to beach,you have to walk full way along road, round corner and full way up the road,the owners have a gate to the lane, but you cannot use it . A little disappointing, but we managed. Great welcome basket, thankyou. We would have liked to meet the owner, but we did not see her,which would havebeen nice, but hey ho! Had a good time, 5th time we have been here to Hawksley,we love it.

Glenis

Lovely comfortable bungalow with all facilities needed for a relaxing holiday in a picturesque area. Ideally situated for walks to Amble, Low Hauxley and beaches.

Trevor

Good place to stay and explore the surrounding area.

We had a great stay at Island View, lovely welcome with the cakes & things, everything really clean & comfortable. The position was perfect for us, nice & quiet but within easy walking distance of Amble. Walk down to the beach was perfect for Doug the dog. The parking was a little challenging with my rather large car but after a couple of days the reversing out became easier. The only thing that would have improved our stay would have been better seating in the back garden as the view from there is so beautiful, but it didn't stop us giving 5 stars.

Lovely well equipped property one of the best weve stayed in. Great view from the back garden towards the sea and Coquet Island. Walk to the beach and wildlife reserve from the door. Amble a 5 minute drive away. Excellent welcome basket. We hope to return

A wonderful home from home holiday cottage. Extremely clean and comfortable with everything you could want provided. The bungalow is in an amazing position close to the beach and facilities. A special thank you to the owners for allowing our young puppy to stay and and experience his first holiday. I would highly recommend Island View, we had a great time.

Thomas

This was up to now the best holiday home we lived in and we do travel a lot! The place was very clean, nicely decorated and thoroughly cared for. Kitchen missed nothing, even exceeded espectations! The owners are very friendly people and are always there to help but leave you to your rest if no help is needed. Welcome tray was very plenty and delicious. Thank you so much!

Trevor

Such a lovely property and location. Second visit and there will definitely be another.

This property is possibly the nicest place we have stayed , the owners thought of every single thing to make the stay as amazing as possible , the welcome basket was so kind and clearly thought about , so many lovely essentials and treats as well, the milk and butter in the fridge was a lovely touch and all the teas and coffee choices as well, the place itself, so clean , so homely and the views from the lounge , just wow ! !!! I have worked in hospitality for many many years and could not fault this place at all. Don't hesitate , book it and with the beach being only a ten minute walk from the cottage , perfect just perfect , thank you for one of the best breaks we have had , we will be back xxxx

Andrew

Great place beach is 10 mins walk, town 20 mins! The whole place is clean tidy and comfortable and very nice to stay in as everyone says the welcome pack is awesome!!

Island View Cottage is one of the best located cottages we have stayed at. We were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived at how spacious it was. The photos dont do justice to this property. Plenty of walks straight from the house and wonderful views. The cottage itself is homely , spotlessly clean, comfortable and equipped with good quality items. Lots of attention to detail and there was nothing we couldnt find or needed. We would definitely like to stay again. The hosts were great and could not have done more to help us enjoy our stay.

We had a really nice stay in November. The property was clean and well equipped and the owners made every effort to make sure we had a comfortable stay. The cottage is well located for day trips in the area, whether up the coast, down to Newcastle or over to Hadrian's Wall. The views from the cottage over to Coquet Island and further up the coast are wonderful in any weather.

Fantastic dog friendly holiday cottage, spotlessly clean thought of everything the visitor may need. Welcome pack was so generous even biscuits for dog

Honestly the best holiday cottage Ive stayed at and theres been a few, it ... Honestly the best holiday cottage Ive stayed at and theres been a few, it was spotless clean and comfortable and the view was fantastic, easy walk to the beach and circular walks with the dog, short drive to the town of Amble were you can everything you need, and the welcome pack was lovely, would recommend it and would love to visit again

What a beautiful bungalow ! Very clean, spacious and well equipped. Exceptional welcome pack which lasted all week. The property is ideally situated to explore all of Northumberland and the gorgeous coastal area of nearby Amble. Fabulous views of the coast from the property and lovely walks across the fields to the beach with the dogs. Morrisons supermarket 5 mins by car and nearby Amble Inn about a 20 minute walk away. Amble Sunday market is a must plus a boat trip via Puffin cruises to Coquet Island. Only negative is the picture on the TV possibly needs attention. We loved our time at Island View Cottage and will return !

Cottage is just fab. Really clean, everything you might need, great access down to the beach through the field. Great proximity to Hauxley Wildlife Centre, to Amble, Warkworth, Alnmouth, Alnwick etc. Parking is a bit tricky for us as we have two cars. Seems to have got more difficult since we first came. But not a major issue.

Very comfortable stay, welcome pack was very nice and much appreciated. Bungalow was clean and well equipped. Is based in a quiet cul de sac with good views from the rear of the bungalow of the local Coquet island. There is a beach near by which was very quiet and plenty of space, can be walked to but maybe not with young children or anyone with walking difficulties.

We loved our stay in your cottage. The kitchen was very spacious with all that we needed during our holiday. The lounge and dining area are very comfortable. The bedrooms are nicely decorated with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The views from the cottage are great, especially watching the birds and the view of Coquet Island. We were lucky to watch the swallows feeding their young in the nest built at the rear of the cottage.

Alison

This property exceeded our expectations. The photos on the website do not do this cottage justice. The view also is just stunning and the fact you can walk from the cottage to the beach is the icing on the cake! Kitchen is incredibly well equipped and the welcome pack superb!

Howard

Very nice cottage with a lovely view fully equipped and very clean. The only negative was we didn't find the sofa and mattresses very comfortable, but that may just be us. All in all a very enjoyable stay, thank you.

Lovely place, credit to you.

A very welcoming, clean, comfortable, relaxing and well situated property with a very good view of Coquet Island from the lounge window. The comprehensive welcome package, including milk in the fridge was the best we have found so far in a holiday cottage. Off road parking a real bonus. A first class property that is a credit to the owners.

George

The property was clean and very well equipped. In a lovely spot. The property owner had made every effort to make our stay enjoyable. However we came across a severe problem for us older people. We are both well over 80. Consequently the low suit in the lounge created problems for both of us. Dont let this detract from a normal family enjoying their stay. The problem was ours, not the owners.

Maureen

An excellent house. Very clean, and had everything and more. It's nice when you go in holiday and arrive to find your accomodation is just like home. Would highly recommend.

Lesley

Lovely spacious well equipped bungalow. Welcome pack appreciated. Only problems we had were the lack of direct access to the enclosed rear garden. Also difficulty getting out of the parking space.

Adrian

Lovely holiday home, a credit to the owners. Very cosy and comfortable. Everything clean and tidy, plenty of towels. Great, peaceful location, lovely walks on the beach, 10 min walk away. Looking forward to returning when the weather improves.

We had a lovely stay the cottage was spotless and the views were amazing. Just for us the double bed was too small so we used one of the other rooms. There was also quite a bit of staining in the worktops. The kitchen was very well equipped. There were lovely touches like the welcome pack, treats for the dogs and even an Easter egg.

Our second time at this cottage and as before it was like staying in a home away from home. The cottage is warm and cosy and very comfortable. What is particularly impressive is the evident thought that the owners have put into making the cottage as welcoming as possible. The welcome pack on arrival was truly impressive! The cottage worked well for all of our party, ourselves, our one year old grandchild and our border collie Tess. We watched deer in the field out of the living room window as well as the drama of all the different birdlife which was a constant joy. This is a lovely cottage that I would recommend to anyone.

Overall we were very happy with our stay at Island View Cottage. The only criticism was the TV could do with an update, the picture quality was poor and it wouldnt interact with other items ie Bose headphones. Also the bath could do with a proper plug! However the views from the cottage are amazing and the Welcome Pack was the best ever.
