Scotswood

Scotswood is a single-bedroom apartment in Gulf, Northumberland, sleeping two and standing just a short walk from Amble's pubs, restaurants and cafés. Everything you need for a coastal break is provided: the essentials like electricity, heating, bed linen and Wi-Fi are covered, and the kitchen comes fully equipped with an oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave and fridge-freezer, so you can cook when you want to eat in. The bright bedroom has a kingsize bed with acoustic glazing to keep noise out, and there is a double shower and toilet. The living and dining areas occupy the ground floor alongside the kitchen, with a sofa, smart TV and table for meals.

Amble itself draws visitors for its working harbour—home to a busy Sunday market, fish restaurants and boat trips round Coquet Island—and it sits at the start of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Warkworth village, with its castle and local pubs, lies along a riverside walk from the town. The apartment has private parking for one car and a store for bikes and motorbikes. Smoking is not permitted. Check-in is after 15:00 and checkout before 10:00.
