The Perfect week

This was our first stay in Northumberland and we couldn't have picked a nicer place to stay. The house was lovely, thoughtfully decorated and really well equipped with everything we needed. The area was quiet and only a short walk away from the harbour - we enjoyed a walk down there every morning in a week of beautiful sunshine. Highly recommended as an excellent base for a stay!

A cracking place to stay!

Dovecote Corner is a little gem, cosy, comfortable and really well equipped. We slept so well in the comfy bed, we were warm and cosy, the fire was easy to light and it was very efficient. The cottage is central in Amble and within easy walking distance of some great places to eat and drink and close to shops. There are beautiful beaches locally and our dogs loved running on them. Diane was a really responsive host and she left a selection of welcome goodies including milk and biscuits.

2nd stay here!

Warm comfortable house. Everything one needs for a short stay. As we had been before we knew to take a mat for the shower as it is over a bath. The online details are a bit lacking . Last year I had to contact the owner to check if there was a separate shower . The house is so convenient for Amble harbour. We hope to return.

New Year in Amble

Cosy end of terrace 2 storey cottage. The heating was great and there was no need of the log fire. The kitchen equipment was plentiful and the milk etc was welcome. Although the shower was over the bath ,the bath sides were not too high. Plenty to see and do in and around Amble, We did contact the owner and our query was immediately dealt with.

Relaxing break in amble

Comfortable and surprisingly big cottage in amble; just what we needed for a few days by the sea. Conveniently located for shops, pubs and restaurants with plenty of space to park outside. The outside space was a welcome addition in the heatwave and actually very private as it backs on to a very small through road.

Very good property

The property suited us very well. Within walking distance of the harbour and some excellent restaurants. Nice size for us and our two dogs. Some nice welcoming touches on arrival. The only problem was parking when there were events on across the road.

Loved staying at this very comfortable cottage. It's very handily placed, parking is easy and the woodburner is fab. Amble is a terrific little town with lots going on. Everywhere is very dog friendly too.

Cosy cottage & great hospitality

Cosy, comfortable & clean house. Pretty good location, close to the centre of Amble & the harbour. Parking outside was always fine for us. Good base for south Northumberland & all it has to offer. Great communication from the owner, Diane. She even brought round some sticks & logs for the wood burner because it was unseasonably cold on a couple of nights. Thanks! We would recommend any local beach - they are all great, but Bamburgh, Hauxley, Druridge Bay & Embleton in particular. Lovely castles, obviously, Bamburgh, Alnwick. Didn’t get to Warkworth. Saw seals on Holy Island. In Amble, ice cream at Spurellis is good, coffee at a harbour stall & fish and chips at Queens Plaice on the high street were excellent (& gluten free).
