2 Bay View, Amble-by-the-Sea

Spent a long weekend with my 2 adult daughters, 2yr old grandson and our miniature dachshund Sidney. The location was perfect, overlooking a sheltered bay, small beach and promenade. My grandson loved having his breakfast sitting at the window watching the boats coming and going. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable though could do with a little updating eg extremely noisy/ squeaky floorboards, a better dog friendly fireside rug ( the existing one is large and colourful but difficult to hoover) back garden looking very tired but a great space. We enjoyed using the log burner and it helped that the owner provided us with a start up pack of logs and kindle. He also left us a much appreciated welcome pack and very kindly informed us about a nearby kiddies park which we visited. We were made to feel very welcome. Parking is directly outside the front door which was great and Amble has lots of lovely walks and places of interest to see. It is also a great base for exploring further afield.

Just got back from a week in Amble. The cottage was easy to find and when in found to be really clean and tidy. The welcome was exactly that welcome. Used as a base to visit all the castles and history surrounding Northumberland. Spent many an happy hour at the breakfast bar watching life go by also on the hottest day ever watching the kids swimming in the bay. One fault we found were the creaky floorboards in the bathroom but didn?t take away the ambience of the place. Surrounded by lovely restaurants but highly recommend Harbour Inn but booking is a must

Great cottage in good location close to local shops and restaurants. Beautiful views from property really made this place special, we spent ages just looking out. Log burner was perfect for cosy evenings in.

We had a fabulous week here. Well equipped little house, perfectly situated for walks with family and/or dogs. Supermarket just up the road. Friendly and helpful owner. Welcome pack with milk, bread, tea, coffee and cake. House was immaculate.

Excellent views of the bay from the front window which has a breakfast bar - we spent hours sitting there watching the sea and people going by on the green. Wonderful local shopping centre a few minutes walk away in the main street. Lovely market in the harbour only 200 meters away on a Sunday. The house has all you can need and there was even a lovely welcome hamper. This was our second visit and we'll make a third sometime.

Superb location overlooking the harbour with a beautiful beaches just steps away. This dog friendly house had everything we needed and was extremely comfortable and homely. Much time was spent admiring the view and watching the world go by from the breakfast bar. The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise and most welcome :). Short walks to great restaurants (check out the bistro in Queen street), a fantastic ice-cream parlour and traditional fish and chips. Sunday Market a must especially the fresh fish! A great place to stay if you want to just chill out or to use as a base for exploring the North East. An amazing week, we will be back !!

Bay view was lovely and cosy with a great wood burning stove and Amble is very dog friendly can't wait to return next year. The Wellwood was very friendly staff and lovely food would highly recommend.

We loved the kitchen window overlooking the harbour, all the facilities were excellent. A great location and area, would seriously consider returning.

Lovely house and are V welcoming Great views and walks V relaxed ,beautiful area Prime location for walking to all points of interests Great Thank You

The position of the cottage in Amble was excellent and the fact that dogs were allowed was much appreciated.

The location of this property was perfect; overlooking the harbour and close to all the amenities. The cottage had been carefully planned and had everything you needed. A home from home in every way.

I don't usually write reviews but this house deserved one. What a fabulous place to stay. The house had everything we needed. The location was perfect for exploring the area. The kids loved sitting at the breakfast bar watching the world go by outside. The view across the harbour to Warkworth Castle was amazing. Will definitely book again. The owner was very helpful when getting the key code. She gave us useful tips and places to visit.

The view, the walk and the town were fantastic. You couldn't wish for a better house to stay in.

After a four hour drive in the rain we arrived to a lovely cottage overlooking the estuary , pier and sea . Inside the cottage was a welcome pack of bread, wine , tea,coffee biscuits and milk also a bag of logs and lighters to get you started. Such a cosy house well equipped in the kitchen and towels alike. Very squeaky floor boards and stairs but no doubt the age of the house it's to be expected. Visited the boat house for lunch - amazing food . Also Sunday Amble always has a market great for fruit veg seafood meat etc. Spurellis cafe/icecream is highly recommended. All the shops etc you can easily walk to if you don't fancy driving. Saw some amazing tide changes over the week with wonderful weather for the time of year. Plenty sand on the beach at low tide , a dog lovers paradise as it seems the area to walk the dogs. Locals all seem very friendly and we were given all the help and advice from the owners prior to our arrival. Would love to return sometime in the future.

We stayed over Christmas 2015. The cottage is warm, mid December and we never got around to lighting the fire, it has its own wifi, and a great view onto the bay area, and you can just sit at the breakfast bar and watch the world go by. There is an enclosed garden, so if you have a dog, they won't be able to get out, the beds were comfortable and clean, there was plenty of hot water, and it does look just like it does in the pictures! The upstairs floors do creak, but soundproofing with the adjoining cottages is very good - so if you walk around in the night you might wake up other people in your house but not in anybody else's. A family of about 10 stayed next door when we were there and we didn't hear a peep from them and the street was really quiet. The owners were very helpful, and left a welcome basket which included a bottle of red and a little selection of Stollen, which lasted a good 5 minutes. The cottage has lots of model ships as part of the decor - and it looks like they've taken care to make it feel like a home. There are also loads of DVDs and books to read, and there were also children's games in one of the bedrooms. There are all sorts of places to walk dogs in the area, virtually all of them well away from roads, and there's a marina and the main street, Queen Street, which has lots of small retailers. Amble is not the most picturesque seaside town I've been to, but it has a lot to recommend it in terms of places to eat, and things to do, there are at least two fish and chip shops, and a co-op just down the road from the cottage which seems to open exceptionally long hours, and a boutique icecream parlour called Spurreli's which is worth a visit. It really is a dog friendly place - our two are quite hyper and yet they were greeted with smiles by virtually everybody we met, people were extremely friendly generally, only one person didn't say 'hello' back the whole time we were there, and the Old Boat House serves the most amazing sea food. The kitchen has everything you would need, the oven is fairly simple but it works fine, good selection of pans and it's quite well stocked with the basics. There are no horror stories with this place - it is exactly as described. We had a lovely time there. Also - the booking service, Sykes Cottages - their opening hours were until 9.30pm, we rang them at 9.25pm, very apologetic at being so late, they were very friendly, took the trouble to check with the owners about whether two dogs would be acceptable, while we were on hold, and the follow up was also good - sending through instructions and confirmation by email, how to get there, and other useful bits of information.

The cottage is very cosy, close to the beach and has some really lovely views. We found some great dog walks close by and the garden is fully enclosed. The wood burner adds a really nice touch. We would visit again.

This is a fabulous little house to use as a base in Northumberland. It was warm and had very good facilities. I particularly liked sitting at the breakfast bar and watching everyone walking on the pier. Bamburgh is a 40 minute drive but the great beaches of Alnmouth, Walkworth and Druridge Bay are only minutes away. Amble had a great pier walk and its own beaches if you want to stay at home. Loved it!

Lovely cosy cottage, the woodburner warmed the whole of the property. The view from the kitchen of the bay was great. We would like to come back again.

Amble is a good centre for touring around and the cottage suited our needs beautifully.

2 BayView was all we wanted in our holiday cottage, not only was it very clean but had everything we needed to make our stay very relaxing . We were left a very welcome package of milk, bread ,eggs ,tea&coffe plus a bottle of wine , enough to start the week off and very useful after our long drive to Amble . The view from the breakfast bar come drinks bar was great and the sunset was straight out in front of the window , just prefect . Also shops were just a couple of minutes walk away and Amble harbour with it's new retail again just 5 minutes walk . Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Bay View .

A charming and comfortable cottage. It was extremely well situated for the town and its amenities, with a lovely view over the harbour entrance and adjacent beach. Lovely sunsets and a view towards Warkworth Castle. This was a perfect place in which to relax and an ideal base from which to explore the area. My family and I loved the place and would love to return.

Comfortable well equipt cottage with everything you need. Look out the kitchen over a lovely bay. The rims are very comfortable with a secluded garden well fenced so our dog could go out without any worry. Short walk to the harbour with exellant restaurant( the Old Boathouse ) the beaches are stunning all close by. If you are a dog owner the Pubs and Restaurants are dog friendly. We fully recommend this cottage.

We stayed at 2 Bayview from 21st to 28th March.Everything was just perfect, a lovely welcome pack awaited us and the owners were fantastic in regards information on the area and where there if you needed them only a phone call away Amble is a beautiful place and the views from the house are stunning,you are only a short drive from Alnwick Castle where the Harry Potter films were made,also Holy Island is a nice place to visit. We could not fault the Holiday one bit and will definitely return there next year We can only give this holiday 10/10

This is a lovely warm, comfortable cottage with fantastic views over the bay and pier, and the little beach just over the road. We enjoyed sitting at the breakfast bar watching the boats go past. The cottage has a great log burner and lovely comfortable beds. The enclosed patio was ideal for our dog and the whole area is very dog friendly. Shops and pubs were all within walking distance. We would stay in this cottage again.

A very nice warm, cosy house overlooking the harbour.

Fantastic location and a great little cottage on the sea front with a great log fire in the sitting room. Loads of walks on your doorstep, loads of places to visit nearby.

Great cottage - lovely presentation in a fantastic location. A great way to pass a peaceful Christmas with my family.

What a fabulous little cottage, as with all the other comments, it was a real home from home. It was very well equipped, the location is amazing and what a lovely town Amble is. The people are very friendly as well. We made very good use of the log burner and spent ages watching the world go by looking out of the window straight on to the bay. An excellent location for amazing restaurants, pubs and local shops. The main town is about ten minutes walk away. This was our first visit to Northumberland and definitely will not be our last.

This holiday let was in a very nice setting as the dog liked walking out of the front door and straight onto the beach area. After being out for the day it was nice to come back and sit with a cup of tea looking at the view from the large kitchen window.

stayed 4 nights in this accomodation, and it's location cannot be beaten. The cottage is well presented, clean and welcoming. Would benefit from having a couple of armchairs and coffee tables, 2x 2 seater settees were adequate for a couple, but would have felt cramped if 4 adults were sharing the accomodation. Nevertheless would certainly recommend to anyone wanting a short breakaway at a competitive price, in a friendly. picturesque small fishing town with good transport links and interesting history.

Our greyhound loved the cottage, the beaches and the friendly town, and so did we. We had great walks along the beaches and also to Warkworth. The Masons Arms in Warkworth is very welcoming to you and your dog. And does nice sandwiches and beer.

Perfect situation - very good for people and dogs. Altogether lovely and nice welcome pack.

Excellent position right on the edge of the bay (harbour).

Lovely cottage in a very friendly seaside town and a very helpful owner. Wonderful beaches for our dog.

We could see the sea from the kitchen window during the day and hear it at night. Welcome pack from owner's was lovely - it included 1/2 dozen eggs from their own chickens. Cottage had everything we needed. Good shops, pubs and cafes in Amble and fabulous fish and chips! The people were lovely and friendly too

A very good property in great location, we would stop again.

A fab cottage with a homely feel. A perfect base for discovering Northumberland! We spoke on the phone to the owner Tim who was friendly & helpful, he advised of some great places locally. A Lovely welcome hamper was waiting in the cottage! Everything was clean, fresh and comfortable. It really did feel like a 'home from home' especially with the wifi access, washer/dryer and great central heating system. The location is perfect, overlooking the bay & pier. Great for people watching too! Idea for dogs as the beach is less than a minute walk away and all the dog walkers we met were friendly & chatty. When it went dark all the rabbits came out and were hopping about on the pavement outside! The back garden is a bird magnet with feeding tables etc, we enjoyed keeping them well fed for the week. The website photos don't do it justice at all, I'd recommend updating them. Three of us stayed here, myself, husband and 15 yr old daughter along with our Border Collie. We hope to return very soon.

A beautiful situation overlooking the beach and harbour with views of Warkworth Castle. Well equipped with comfortable beds. Just walk out the door and you are on the beach.

The view from the window was superb and we sat at the breakfast bar watching the boats go by. The safe beach was a stone's throw from the house, as was a big grassy area - both ideal for the kids and dog to play. The enclosed patio was perfect - a sun trap, safe for the dog, and a little haven for tiny birds who came to the bird table to feed. The welcome pack was much appreciated, as was the helpfulness of the owners with any questions we had in advance. Locally, Amble Links Beach was superb as was seeing seals, puffins and terns on the Puffin Cruise from the harbour. A great holiday.

The house was perfect for us. wonderful views from the breakfast bar with passing boats, and little shore beach and grassy area just across the (quiet) road. This beach is enclosed by the harbour wall so is calm and safe for kids. Amble Links Beach, a 15 min walk or 2 min drive, is lovely. The house is comfortable, with all our needs thought of, the owners left a welcome pack of milk, bread, biscuits, wine etc which was great. The southfacing patio is enclosed and private, and the shrubs are a little haven for lots of tiny birds who feed on the birdtable. Location is great for beaches and castles (we did a walk from Craster to Dunstanburgh castle amidst spectactular coastal scenery, and afterwards had a lovely pub meal in Craster and bought kippers from the smokehouse). In Amble, plenty of local shops, amazing icecreams from Spurelli's cafe, lovely Puffin cruises from the harbour. a great holiday.
