Wheelhouse 21

Amble is a working fishing town on the Northumberland coast, built around a harbour that runs boat trips to Coquet Island and hosts a popular Sunday market. Warkworth Castle stands 2 miles inland along the estuary path. The village has a genuine community feel, with independent shops, cafés, pubs and two fish and chip shops serving the locals and visitors alike. Wheelhouse 21 sits just a hundred yards from the sandy beach and the pier, putting you a short walk from everything the town offers.

The property sleeps 6 across three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Ground floor has a living and dining room with a 50-inch smart TV and a wood burner for cooler evenings, plus a kitchen equipped for proper cooking—it has a range cooker, dishwasher and all the basics. Upstairs, the main bedroom is a kingsize with an ensuite bath and shower, a double room, and a twin room with its own shower room. The enclosed decked area at the rear has garden furniture and a barbecue. Parking for two cars is on site, and there's a bike store. Essentials including heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are covered; initial logs for the wood burner are provided too.

The cottage works well for families—a travel cot, highchair and stairgate are available. Northumberland itself offers diverse countryside, castles and coastline to explore from this base. No smoking throughout.
