Great location for Amble. Quiet residential area. House is tired and needs TLC. Photos are accurate - lots of non matching furniture which makes it feel tired and basic. Not enough cutlery so dishwasher was on every day. Lots of rubbish in the garage which doesn’t help with feeling this house is a little unloved. Lots of downstairs space as a plus - however TV too small and remote is temperamental. Double bed is smaller than standard so me and my partner slept separately - not ideal for a holiday! Garden wasn’t mowed so we did it on our first day but took 5 grass boxes to mow it. Very clean externally laundered linens and towels, bits and bobs provided like hand soap, teabags etc which was great. Deeper clean like wiping the walls and skirtings would make it super clean. Overall a good holiday but we didn’t spend too much time at the house. If you’re ok with basic, then great location and good enough.

Great value for money, very close to the beach and a verity of pubs. House was very clean and had everything you needed. Garden could do with some tidying but we stayed over the colder months so didn’t spend any time out there anyway. Great place to book if you’re on a budget but want to explore he Northumberland coast

Great location, quiet residential area close to beach and town centre. Important things were fine - shower, comfortable beds, plenty of space etc. But in general the house needs some TLC and then it would be fabulous

Location excellent. Property clean, comfy beds and good linen. the house had very shoddy finish to all decor, kitchen and bathroom needed attention. Mismatched furniture and lacking glasses. Garden overgrown, lawn needed mowing, needed weeding, sweep decking etc - not very pleasant to sit in at all. Garage which housed fridge/ freezer and washing machine also full of rubbish. If it wasn't for location and cleanliness wouldn't have stayed.

We had a great stay here for a few nights. Everything was walking distance (beach, pubs, harbour) even with a 3 and 5 year old. A couple of problems we occurred were quickly sorted and communication was quick and efficient.

Lovely, homely property that was clean and welcoming. Plenty of space for 4 adults and a teenager with all the facilities we needed. Nice garden to sit in too when the weather was warm enough. The property is in a good walking distance from the local amenities and the harbour. Good communication from the hosts before, during and after our stay. Thank you

Just some feedback on the facilities. The beds are really comfortable and the linen including towels was really superior quality. The bathroom facilities are excellent. Soap, shower gel and toilet roll provided. Inside the house was nice and clean. Nice size house for a family. Parking excellent. Nice quiet cul de sac very close to the beach and all facilities. Instructions and communication very good. I have a few constructive comments to make which will help improve the facilities: Freezer compartment in refrigerator or separate freezer Old fashioned wooden furniture in lounge needs replacing. Flower pots in front garden all full of weeds! Back garden in need of full makeover I hope you take my comments as useful

We enjoyed our stay in Amble. The house was a great size for our family of five and the outside space was welcome. Really comfy beds and clean linen. Ample towels and bedding available. Lovely friendly neighbours either side of the house. Missing a few home comforts (kitchen roll, pepper) and we found empty beer cans in a low down cupboard on arrival. Also didn’t appreciate the extra insurance we had to pay for. Surely AirB&B covers insurance? Also didn’t receive checkin details before arriving so needed to contact AirB&B for extra assistance.

The property was well situated within walking distance of the harbour. Very dog friendly with an enclosed garden albeit overgrown. We had to cut brambles & nettles back, & the patio does need some maintenance. Beds very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. We stayed for 2 weeks & overall we were comfortable. Not sure we will rent from this host again.

Lively house in Amble with plenty of room for 5 people and a dog. Everything you need for a little stay away. Within walking distance to the town, shops, pubs restaurants etc. lots of beautiful beaches in the vicinity.

In a good location only 10 mins walk from the town centre and harbour. Well equipped and spacious. Secure garden for dogs and in a quiet residential area

Ian

Good location for us, just we were restricted for places to eat out with dogs. The outside area could do with a bit of a tidy up but the conservatory was really good and we used probably more than any other room. The only really complaint was that bed in the main bedroom was too small and uncomfortable. Would recommend to friends and family.

This semi-detached property was adequate for our needs and situated in a cul de sac on a residential housing estate which was quiet and an easy 10/15 minute walk to the town or the beach. We had a big problem with a broken bed in the double room and uncomfortable mattresses on two single beds. However the home owner ordered a new bed base and mattresses which arrived within 48 hours. The kitchen was well equipped with an abundance of crockery, cutlery, glasses etc. An extra fridge/freezer in the garage was handy, as was the downstairs loo. The upstairs bathroom had a roomy shower and good sized bath. There was a small conservatory leading to a decked area and lawn, which we made use of as the weather was lovely for our stay.

The actual rental price was competitive however I was a little disturbed by the supplementary cleaning charge . Not too keen on the need to lodge a deposit for any damage incurred either . As we left the property clean and undamaged I hope to promptly receive refund of the damage deposit

Comfortable and clean house in a quiet area. Garden enclosed so suitable for dogs. Amazing beaches nearby but nearest dog friendly beach a 40 minute walk or 5 minute drive. All in all a good property for a holiday/ break.

Location in residential area within walking distance of local amenities. Great to have parking and a secure garden for our dog. House was very clean but could do with some TLC although did have a new bathroom. TV reception very poor; boiler leaking water (reported). Amble is a good base for exploring the local area.

Great location to visit the amazing sites of Northumberland. Be sure to take the Puffin Cruise to Coquet Island during nesting season to see the Puffins and Terns. Warkworth Castle and beach, Alnmouth Beach. The Old Boathouse for a fab meal and the market on a Sunday in Amble is fab.

I would highly recommend Shorty’s as it’s well-equipped and spacious. We had a great week here and felt very much at home. The house is welcoming & in a nice area of Amble. We had some lovely day trips to nearby places like Warkworth and Druridge bay. I can’t fault the facilities and local amenities.
