Lower Driftwood Reviews

Konrad

Happy with everything apart from the mattresses

William

Really comfortable apartment. All the facilities you need for a holiday.Parking outside the apartment is ok.A wee tip if you have a disabled badge ,outside the apartment a disabled parking bay is available. We hope to return to this apartment in. Amble next year.

Lower Driftwood is a lovely cosy apartment with everything we needed for a good day comfy beds, plenty of hot water and a well equipped kitchen. It's a few minutes walk to the harbour and all the facilities of this lovely little seaside town. We'll certainly go again!

Bill And Lilian

What a splendid property for us to enjoy our break in we will definitely look forward to returning to it in the future. Fantastic positioning in Amble, really close to shops and eating places and the docks area is in easy walking distance. We enjoyed our stay very much. The private offstreet parking is really appreciated. Happy to recommend this property to anyone.

Christopher

One of the best self catering cottages we have stayed in. Fantastic location 5 mins or less from shops, 5 minutes or less from Sunday Market, same from harbour and Pier. 5 mins or less from bus stops for Morpeth, Alnwick etc. Lovely walks nearby we walked to Alnmouth and Hauxley Nature Reserve. The downstairs flat we hired was spcious, well equiped and had its own ouside garden space with table and chairs. The only negative was the offstreet parking. A plan was supplied to show how cars should be parked. We had taken my wifes very small Renault Zoe on holiday. Even so the parking was tight. With a larger car it would have been a challenge. Would we hire this appartment again. Yes we would.

Jacqueline

Lovely appartment, well situated near town centre. Great having off street parking.

Sandra

Super apartment. Really sunny. Well equipped.

Sonjie

Well positioned property, met our needs and we would stay again. Parking available however, precise parking is required by both property occupants.

Nice pleasant accommodation very handy for shops , pub and harbour would definitely stay there again

Excellent location in the town of Amble. Everything was nearby, bus stops, cafes, shops and the sea front. Loved the property, its layout and the outside space. Once we got to grips with the workings of the storage radiators all was cosy. Just a small challenge with the double bedroom window sticking!!

VERY GOOD POSITION CLOSE TO ALL THAT AMBLE HAS TO OFFER,COMFORTABLE AND VERY CLEAN APARTMENT. A BASIC WELCOME PACK WOULD HAVE BEEN APPRECIATED ALONG WITH MORE THAN ONE TOILET ROLL AND BIN BAG. THE SHOWER TEMPERATURE WAS TOO HOT AND COULD NOT BE REDUCED EVEN ON THE LOWEST SETTING. HAVING SAID THAT WE ENJOYED OUR STAY AND WOULD RECOMEND IT TO OTHERS.

Clean,well equipped,ideal position for shops ,restaurants and harbour. Our third stay.

Daphne

This is the second time we have stayed at this property, it is clean and cosy, with everything we needed for our stay. We particularly chose it for the onsite parking. We will definately be back.

It was a lovely place to stay very clean. We have been before only problem was the suite was too low but know he's looking at replacing it.

It's a great little apartment, very clean and comfortable with great access to all the beach, harbour, shops, restaurants and pubs. The off road parking is a bit tight when the upstairs apartment is occupied but there is plenty of parking spaces in the street. Highly recommended

Lovely Appartment. Warm , clean and comfortable. In middle of town near all facilities. Lots of places to visit. Bus service very good Highly recommended

Amanda

We use Lower Driftwood because my husband is disabled and the fact that it is a ground floor property is good for us. The new parking arrangement is also an improvement as we can now get the wheelchair in through the back door. The provision in the property is very good with everything you need for a comfortable stay. A couple of things that would improve accessibility for us personally would be to have grab rails either side of the front door as the step is quite high and narrow. Also a higher seated sofa as the current one is to low and soft for my husband to use.

Very clean and comfortable. Easy access to shops and harbour area.

We loved the holiday cottage as it was comfortable, well equipped and very close to the harbour area. The only issue was that the parking wasn't adequate for 2 cars the apartment upstairs shares the driveway. There wasn't room to park side by side as the residents have back access via the driveway. As they had a pram we had to move our car and the upstairs holidaymaker parked on the road instead. There was no mention of these issues and we felt that wasn't fair to the young residents.

Parking arrangements not very good

Lovely apartment, in a great, central location. Highly recommended!

Really nice place to go. Restaurants and pubs as well as the locals were all good. The cottage was ideal especially being partially disabled. The owners we particularly friendly.

A great property right in the centre of Amble. We certainly plan to go again.

Francis

Comfortable accommodation in an ideal location

Great apartment in a ideal location with close access to the shops, restaurants, harbour and beach. It would be nice if there was a welcome pack especially for those who have travelled long distances

Yvonne

Lovely accommodation and just as described. All the comforts of home you would ever need and everything was spotlessly clean. Great location to use as a base for exploring the local area. Lots of shops pubs restaurants cafes all within walking distance.

Stephen

All you could want in a holiday rental. Great location in Amble with parking and close to the Harbour with a great choice of Pubs and Restaurants all within walking distance. I wouldn't hesitate to book again

Patricia

Lovely flat comfy bed loved the walk in shower plenty hanging space having a decent size tv was good you have everything you need a lovely area everything in walking distance lots of amazing places to visit would definitely be back and weather was great

Alastair

Lovely flat and well kitted out. It was so quiet though it was close to the Main Street and the harbour. Plenty of shops and restaurants close by and great markets down at the harbour Saturday and Sunday. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Carole

Beautiful flat, really spacious and had everything we needed. Loved the decor, and the little touches that made it feel like home. Amazing location, it was great to be so close to the harbour and coast path.

We had a fantastic time at Lower Driftwood. Apartment very well furnished very clean and warm, it has everything we could need. It has parking for a car, centrally located near shops and Marina and lovely walks nearby. We walked to Warkworth and also to Huxley and when on the beaches they are expansive, clean and very few people. A bus service to local towns available although we may do this next time. We definitely will come again. Thoroughly recommend it

Malcolm

Lovely position. .everything we needed at the property was there..only positive things to say..the property added to having a fantastic week....

Positives far outweigh any negatives. Great location, just 1 minute from main street. Accommodation was good. Bed was comfortable but seating in lounge not so for us, it was too low. We had read previous comments about lack of hot water but we found there was plenty, we both had 2 showers each day, washed up etc. and didn't run out of hot water, if you did there is a booster button. We didn't have any problem parking but can imagine the space might be a little tight for 2 family cars. Amble is a really lovely place, plenty of pubs, places to eat, shops etc. Sunday market was great, lots of really fresh fish. Would recommend.

The apartment is excellent Open plan with good windows and glazed doors There's a double and single bedroom A great shower room with WC The location is perfect just on the edge of the town and near the harbour The town is full of shops pubs and restaurants The apartment is located on a one way street so it's quite with no through traffic. The old boat house or fish shack are on opposite ends of the harbour these are great fish and chip restaurants The people in Amble are so friendly too. We look forward to staying again

A lovely place to stay. So convenient for shops and restaurants. A really good base for going out to explore the area and there are so many places to visit. Everything we needed was supplied at the accommodation. Really good quality bedding and towels, which really makes a difference. Some lovely paintings on the walls too. Really felt like home from home.

My mum and dad really enjoyed their stay. The house was lovely. Very clean and with good facilities. It was well positioned to get around. They said they would definitely return.
