  • "We have had an absolutely wonderful week at Canny Cottage."

    Thanks to the owners for providing such a wonderful stay. On arrival we experienced the ‘wow’ factor! The cottage was spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming (thanks also for the food provisions). Canny Cottage is surprisingly spacious and furnished to a high standard - the owners certainly have thought of everything to make us totally comfortable. We are already talking about returning at a future date! We will be sad to leave in the morning.

  • "We absolutely loved Canny Cottage!"

    The location was perfect as we left the car on the drive and used several bus routes to visit neighbouring towns and villages. Amble itself had many excellent eating places conveniently situated just around the corner from the cottage. The cottage was perfect in every way - clean, cosy and comfortable. To make our stay even better the sun shone every day though this cannot be guaranteed! We would recommend Canny Cottage to anybody thinking of visiting Northumberland which is a truly beautiful county.

    It was spotlessly clean, the sofas and beds were very comfortable and I can't think of one facility it didn't have. It is ideally suited to explore the area and just a short walk into Amble.

  • "Canny Cottage is an excellent holiday home."

    I stay in a lot of holiday cottages and this one I class as excellent. The cottage has absolutely everything you need , the owner has thought of it all! The kitchen is very well equipped. The whole house is spotless. Great to be able to park outside the cottage. The situation of the cottage is excellent, 5 minutes walk to the shops and restaurants/cafes. I liked the generous bathroom and the quality fluffy towels, a little bit of luxury! A thoughtful welcome pack was left for our arrival which was much appreciated We hope to return to this little gem!

  • "A really comfortable cottage, including the beds."

    We have stayed here twice before. It is very well equipped with plenty of crockery, wine glasses and cooking utensils. The appliances are easy to use and the manuals are provided. The rooms are large and the parking place at the front of the house is really useful. (Roadside Parking in Amble is difficult.) Its position provides easy access to the town and shops. The owners are very helpful, if you need to contact them.

    Everything was as described and was perfect. Very comfortable and clean. A home away from home. Added bonus of a parking spot too. WiFi was a bit slow at times, but didn't impact on the holiday.

Amble is a friendly town and the location makes it ideal for exploring Northumberland.

    We certainly found a little gem of a cottage when we first came last November and have just enjoyed our second visit. The cottage is so well equipped, immaculately clean and comfortable and a welcome pack to get you started! The owners also go above and beyond by providing dish washer and washing machine tablets/pods, washing up liquid and hand wash in kitchen and bathroom and salt and pepper, oil and vinegar plus many other bits and pieces, Thank you Barbara!

    It was very clean, warm and comfortable and one of the best equipped cottages we have ever stayed in. It had been decorated for Christmas and looked wonderful ! The gift of eggs, milk, biscuits and fizz (which we enjoyed on New Year's Eve) was very welcome. The cottage is only a few minutes walk from the shops and lovely harbour and marina and there is a Morrisons about a 10 minute walk away. We walked into Warkworth twice which is a gorgeous little place and ate at the Hermitage Inn which was very friendly and food good. We walked very briskly and it took us about half an hour. We were very lucky with the weather and managed to get out every day, only using the car once to go to Alnwick. All in all a fantastic holiday in a fantastic cottage !

    I have nothing bad to say. The cottage was just like a home from home. It was extremely clean, very well equipped, two good sized double bedrooms in fact one is a king size and the other a twin that can be made up as a super king size. The bathroom is fabulous. The kitchen has everything you need. I was a little concerned about the parking situation from the description given on Sykes as it sounded like you could only park a small car there. We have a Nissan Qashqai and I managed to park it ok. The cottage is a short walk from the main street and harbour in Amble where there are some nice eateries and pubs. We also stumbled across the Amble Inn which is just out of Amble great value for money. This was our first time to Northumberland and we loved it. Stunning coastline and Canny Cottage was just perfect for my wife and I. Would certainly stay there again.

Pre-arrival information was useful and informative. Others have mentioned the parking and yes it is a little tight but unless you have a large 4x4 you should have no difficulty, I was easily able to reverse our Ford Focus into the parking area. The cottage is a 5 minute walk to the nearest Co-op and there’s a Tesco express another 2 minutes down the road. The Wellwood Arms is just round the corner and worth a visit. Easy walk to Warkworth, and Alnmouth is only a short drive away for trains to Edinburgh (an hours journey) if you fancy going further afield. I very much recommend a stay at Canny Cottage.

    We wouldn't hesitate to book it again if we return to Amble. The owners seem to have put a lot of thought into facilities in the cottage

  • "Although there is off street parking it would suit a small car and access was restricted due to a work van parking at the top of the street in the week."

    Having open plan living is fine however being open to the kitchen area meant that there was considerable noise from the heating/hot water boiler. The walking available in the area unfortunately wasn't as good as other area's in Northumberland.

    The Kitching is very well equipped and the large bathroom is excellent. Overall the décor and furnishings are high standard. The access road is narrow but there is plenty of room on the front for a family hatchback. The owners are friendly and helpful.

  • "Offroad parking is important to us and we did park on the forecourt of the cottage, but the road is very narrow & the forecourt very small so parking was quite difficult."

    The parking sensors had to work overtime! A larger car than ours would not have fitted. There was mention of parking at rear of property (though not on bin day) but the alleyway was again very narrow and filled with bins so not really an option. Parking on the street would have been very difficult as cars were parked everywhere, down both sides of the road and on the corners. Finding a nearby space would have been a bit of a lottery.

    Amble is very down to earth really (we like that!) but the cottage added a bit of luxury. Wonderful owners who went the extra mile to be helpful, even when our kids caused a couple of mishaps!

To the outside is a choice of areas, with a courtyard to the front and to the back with furniture, making it a great place for some alfresco dining or relaxing with a glass of something chilled.

About the location

AMBLE

Warkworth 1 mile; Alnmouth 4 miles.

The bustling little seaport of Amble is situated at the mouth of the River Coquet and is an ideal place for exploring Northumberland. Historically a centre for boatbuilding, Amble offers a marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and coastal walks to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and country park at Druridge Bay. Large fishing boats moor along the harbour wall and land a variety of fish, prawns, crabs and lobsters. There is a fish centre on the side of the harbour that is now primarily a shell fish hatchery to re-stock levels of lobster and other shell fish, this sells local fish and is open to the public. A mile south of Amble is Coquet Island, an RSPB reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks and boat trips around the island can be arranged. The pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster and numerous superb beaches are only a short drive away, whilst picturesque Warkworth with its castle, charming Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, and the National Trust’s Wallington Hall and Cragside are all within easy reach.
