Quirky, beach inspired cottage on the fabulous Northumberland Coast.

Dovecote Corner is a quirky end of terrace cottage in the popular coastal village of Amble-by-the-Sea, and it can accommodate up to 4 people. It is perfect for a couple or a small family looking for a cosy base to discover the delights of the Heritage Coastline.

The bustling harbour, award winning restaurants, pubs and shops are within walking distance, as is a sandy beach, working harbour and pier walk.
Recently, we have had the addition of an interactive Lobster Breeding Centre...we are trying to increase the size of the lobster population in the North Sea and our famous Amble Pods..upended boats containing tiny shops selling all manner of arts and crafts.
People travel for miles to visit our Sunday morning market,located on the harbour around the corner ...it’s the biggest in the area.
A few minutes drive heading north brings you to historic Warkworth, with its medieval castle, charming shops and pubs all serving good food.
A mile or so south takes you to the golden beaches of Hauxley and Druridge..and two bird sanctuaries with hides around a series of lakes.

Comfortably furnished with a beach theme, our bright cottage offers two bedrooms, one roomy double and one bunk room and a bathroom with a bath for those long soaks after a tiring day on the beach.
A small fitted kitchen and bright sitting room with woodburning stove for those cold winter nights and TV with freeview and DVD player, books, DVDs and wifi complete this pretty cottage.

Why not take a trip Alnwick Castle and Gardens or discover one of the many coastal walks taking in a pint and a crab sandwich somewhere along the way, the golden beaches are endless and waiting to be discovered.

Are you a foodie? Try one of Amble by the Seas numerous restaurants....some award winning ones too!

This small cottage was ideally situated in Amble, a busy fishing village even in early November. Close, too, to the local, excellent restaurants and pubs. The host was helpful and fun. The cottage is pet friendly and parking nearby is always possible. Thoroughly recommended.

The Perfect week

This was our first stay in Northumberland and we couldn't have picked a nicer place to stay. The house was lovely, thoughtfully decorated and really well equipped with everything we needed. The area was quiet and only a short walk away from the harbour - we enjoyed a walk down there every morning in a week of beautiful sunshine. Highly recommended as an excellent base for a stay!

A cracking place to stay!

Dovecote Corner is a little gem, cosy, comfortable and really well equipped. We slept so well in the comfy bed, we were warm and cosy, the fire was easy to light and it was very efficient. The cottage is central in Amble and within easy walking distance of some great places to eat and drink and close to shops. There are beautiful beaches locally and our dogs loved running on them. Diane was a really responsive host and she left a selection of welcome goodies including milk and biscuits.

2nd stay here!

Warm comfortable house. Everything one needs for a short stay. As we had been before we knew to take a mat for the shower as it is over a bath. The online details are a bit lacking . Last year I had to contact the owner to check if there was a separate shower . The house is so convenient for Amble harbour. We hope to return.

New Year in Amble

Cosy end of terrace 2 storey cottage. The heating was great and there was no need of the log fire. The kitchen equipment was plentiful and the milk etc was welcome. Although the shower was over the bath ,the bath sides were not too high. Plenty to see and do in and around Amble, We did contact the owner and our query was immediately dealt with.

Relaxing break in amble

Comfortable and surprisingly big cottage in amble; just what we needed for a few days by the sea. Conveniently located for shops, pubs and restaurants with plenty of space to park outside. The outside space was a welcome addition in the heatwave and actually very private as it backs on to a very small through road.
