Little Willows

Couples and small groups will find Little Willows suits a quiet getaway within reach of Amble's working harbour and the Heritage coast. This detached lodge from 2013 stands apart, offering complete privacy with views across fields behind. The single open-plan living space contains a sitting area with TV and DVD player, plus a dining kitchen equipped for cooking proper meals. One kingsize bedroom and a bathroom with bath and shower over complete the layout.

The essentials are provided—heating, electricity, wi-fi, bed linen and towels—along with an enclosed patio for sitting out. You can bring one dog at no extra cost. Parking for one car is on site. A short drive takes you to Amble, where the harbour still works and a Sunday market runs alongside pubs, restaurants and shops. From here, the Heritage coast stretches north towards glorious beaches, while inland the National Park and Cheviots are within easy reach for a day out. No smoking indoors.
