Old Coastguard Cottages Reviews

Frances

Lovely cottage, everything catered for. A wonderful location looking out over the harbour with walks right from the door. For people with dogs or small children It might be worth noting that the garden isnt enclosed.

Pamela

Stunning views, excellent location for all things Amble has to offer. House is lovely could do with some decorating. Sofa too lowsoft for us. Really enjoyed our time here.

Elizabeth

This is the 3rd time we've stayed in this cottage. To be honest it's the location and view that keeps us coming back. As others have said before the beds and sofa are far from comfortable. This time I was also disappointed with the lack of toiletries. We were there for two weeks and had to top up with loo rolls and hand soaps after just one week, and it was just the two of us staying. It felt a bit stingy considering what it costs to stay at these places these days.

Great position but parking was a bit tight for our car. Really enjoyed the house especially being able to sit down and still see out over the water. All very comfortable. The television needs updating we could not get all the Freeview channels and the sound quality even with the sound bar was very poor

Lovely cottage with fabulous view. Cottage roomy and bedrooms comfortable. Previous guests mention the sofa. It is very low, soft and more of a recliner. We could not fault the facilities and there was plenty of information available for days out. Not sure that it is dog friendly. Dogs are not allowed upstairs, on the furniture and there is no secure outside space, so our dog was on lead for all outside visits I.e. first thing the morning til midnight, which was a problem in the dark and rain. All in all we would recommend this cottage.

Jacqueline

We had a wonderful holiday in a lovely comfortable cottage in a superb location with fantastic views, would love to visit again, many thanks.

We had a lovely stay at old coastguards cottage. Amble is a place where we know well, as my sister lives there. Lots of things to do and would recomend, the puffin boat trip to coquet island. lots of places to eat, and some lovely walks which i did every day. warkworth, druridge bay, alnmouth, and warkworth beach, all fantastic. Or relax in the garden and look at the lovely views. we were luck with the lovely weather also. My apologies we did not sign the guest book, compleately forgot. thanks, alan

Lovely comfortable property in fabulous location. We love Amble and visit several times but 1st time in this property. Would love to visit again. Plenty of useful equipment in the kitchen. Found beds comfortable. Sink in top bedroom useful. TV small but who cares with that view! Just great!

Pamela

I left a lot of Detail in the visitors book. I thought the cottage was in a very special place. Very good central heating. Very good hot water. Very good dishes for cooking and baking trays. Very clean. The cutlery may need updating but it was not a problem to me, the mattress was very comfortable. The view unbelievable would love to return but can see it is booked up until the end of 2028. The curtain rail was quite brittle and it came away from its fixings on the one end. I tied it up with some string and let you know about it at the time. I was very impressed that someone would have come to fix it the next day. Beautiful beaches, everybody very friendly lovely places to eat would love to return.

We had a lovely short break. The position of the home is ideal, right by the harbour and can see and hear the sea continuously. However you are a short stroll to the town which has everything you need. There is a very well equipped kitchen. Good heating and the shower is also very good. Guidebook and information, personally written and captures not only all the important details you need but tells you a little of the owners and their families connection to the home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you

Andrea

This was my fourth visit to old Coast Guard cottages. I never tired of looking at the view. The cottage is a real home from home comfortable cozy and clean. Amble is a great base to explore the many castles surrounding countryside and small market towns. I am hoping to come again in January 2027! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with so many people.

Jocelyn

What an absolutely amazing property. Stayed in many a holiday cottage and this was up there with the very best a real home from home. Clearly dearly loved by the owner and so well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The owner is incredibly helpful and kindly left instructions on how to use the new oven for us to roast our Christmas turkey. We spent a lovely week enjoying the local area and coming home after exploring to cosy comfort was just wonderful. Finally, the view from the cottage is breath taking and we spent many an hour just sitting and looking.. blissful

Lovely cottage with amazing views

Onsite parking not easy, but off road parking available nearby. This needs mentioning on property details.Overall a great cottage, fantastic views and nearby walks, sand dunes and beaches. Amble a really friendly place, dog friendly pubs and restaurants.

An absolutely outstanding property in the perfect location. Extremely well equipped, plenty of hot water, warm and wonderful bathroom and shower. But the views are to die for. Loved sitting and watching the sea. One of our favourite properties.

William

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, fantastic location, well equipped and very comfortable. Weve booked again for December and would certainly recommend to friends and family.

Yasmin

Our 1st visit to this lovely cottage, hopefully it won't be our last. We loved our stay, the whole house was lovely and clean. Very well equipped, everything we needed and more was provided. Fantastic views, spent a good few hours watching the birds, boats and the tide coming in. Thank you

Rebecca

Lovely cottage with amazing sea views . Well equipped, everything u could ever need or wish for has been provided . We enjoyed our stay here so much that we extended our stay by 2 days ! Within walking distance of Amble which has a variety of shops , restaurants , pubs and cafes . Fresh fish straight from the trawler is available to buy from Alliance fish situated on the quay side . We would book this accommodation again .

Our 2nd stay at Coastguard cottage in a January. When we were there in Jan 24 we loved it so much we booked for this year. Really warm and cosy, the views are stunning so even if it rains you can have fantastic sea views in the dry. The cottage has a really well equipped kitchen, nothing we were short of. Bathroom and shower perfect. The top bedroom as well as having the picture window also has a velux one so you can see the night sky. The bed is enormous and comy. The only downside I can say is the sofa is really low so we didn't use it. This was because we are older with painful joints we couldn't get up from it.

Deanna

We had a brilliant holiday at this amazing house. The views were stunning and we were blessed with beautiful winter sunshine every day. The house is very well equipped, clean and very comfortable. Home from home. The only item missing was a brush for the wood burner. Apart from that, could not fault it.

A second stay in Coastguard cottages. Concerns from our last stay had been sorted. The house was lovely and warm in the very low temperatures, the views as wonderful as ever. Thank you.

Stunning, we really enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed was provided. The location was ideal, the park was much appreciated by my grandkids. I cannot fault this property in any way, stylistically brilliant but comfortable. Our holiday was complete when a pod of dolphins put in an appearance. Thank you. First rate

Lovely spacious house in a great position for everything in Amble. Beds, bedding and towels were all superb. Only gripe is that the seating in the lounge is not comfortable and so difficult to get up from. A 2nd tv, in a bedroom, would be nice. Views and balcony are stunning. Amble is very quiet and has nice, easy walks for oap's like us, who don't have a car, and is near to many beaches and castles if you have a car.

We just love this beautiful cottage which is so we'll equipped maintained and situated. We had seen the house on previous visits to Amble but never managed to book it. The views and atmosphere are tremendous. The only downside for us is the somewhat low settee which is very comfortable but difficult to get out of due to being very low. None of us wanted to leave the property and will be returning next year.

Richard

Lovely cottage with fantastic views. We had a really enjoyable holiday.

Andrea

A homely cottage in a beautiful location it was a slice of heaven Ive booked already for next year!

Even better than expected, the views are so relaxing.

We had a fabulous week, just perfect for us. Comfortable, warm, plenty of space. We will be coming back, our dogs enjoyed the beach and walks right from the cottage front door. Didnt move the car for first few days. Just relaxed, and enjoyed Amble. Ticked all the boxes for us. Oh and the views from the cottage, spectacular!

This was our first visit to Northumberland and we couldn't have chosen a better location to stay. The cottage was the perfect choice. Fabulous views and a lovely homely feel to it, well equipped with everything you need.

What a fantastic cottage to stay at for comfort, views and totally relaxing winter break. There were 4 of us staying and our dog, so many walks along the beach, pier and breakwater just because we could from the cottage as well as many trips to favourite beaches nearby. The views were just stunning, we have stayed often at Amble over the years even one further down bay view terrace but none as well equipped and picture postcard proximity to the beach. So booked again for same time next year, can't wait.

Elaine

Lovely cosy cottage with a fantastic view and some very tasteful furniture and pictures. Amble people are wonderful.

Lindsey

Smashing property and such a lovely view, even our dog is missing lying and looking out of the window

Our 7th visit over the years and as good as ever. Redecoration and revamped bathroomshower only adds to our love of the place.
