  • "We had a fantastic few days at Silversands Cottage."

    It was a very well equipped, clean, comfy cottage in a perfect location. Great for my dogs as had enclosed back area, safe to let them out. A little welcome box of goodies was a lovely touch. We had some lovely days out, Amble harbour (5 minute walk) with lovely fish n chips, Cresswell, Duridge Bay Country Park, Warkworth, Craster and Alnwick. All a short drive away.

    Amble is a great centre, with it's harbour village and good eating places, especially for seafood. Silversands is an ideal place to stay. Lovely local walks and a playground at the end of the street, with a tiny cove nearby. At no time was the street parking difficult . Thank you Michelle and Aaron. I am so envious of your lovely cottage - we had a wonderful stay.

    It's very well equipped with everything you need and is in absolutely immaculate condition. There was coffee, tea and a bottle of wine on arrival which was a lovely touch. We have stayed in many holiday rentals but this is easily the best and I cannot find any issues with it at all. Highly recommended!

    So had to sleep on sofa until he had settled. I’d say dogs have been on sofa because I lost something down the side and yuck it was gross! I always take covers and do respect these properties are someone’s investment. I wouldn’t mind paying a charge for my dog. We always clean before we leave. The cottage was lovely though, well equipped and in a great location. I would recommend it to people without pets unless yours is not a sofa surfer.

We’ve been coming to Northumberland every year for 4 years and this was by far the best holiday we’ve ever had. So much to see and do. Gorgeous village, friendly locals and so many options for walks without leaving the area. The beaches are beautiful and so very clean. Most are dog friendly all year round. The cliffs top scenery was breath taking. We still have walks we didn’t get chance to do as ran out of days. We loved every minute spent here. The only downside was, it went too quickly.

    Beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and extremely well provisioned with new looking crockery, cutlery and glassware it was a real pleasure to stay here and very easy to prepare my own meals etc. The welcome pack is a very thoughtful addition. I really liked that stairgates had been put in to assist keeping dogs downstairs. The outside space is small and paved so my dog couldn't use it for toileting or exercise but this wasn't an issue as there are large, grassy areas about a 90 second walk from the door. It was a real treat to stay at such a lovely cottage with my dog. Location is fantastic, Amble it lovely, the beach at Cresswell is amazing and beautiful Warkworth on the doorstep. I'll definitely recommend this one.

  • "Fabulous accommodation."

    Everything that you needed had been thought of. The welcome pack was just what you need after a long day traveling. No need to worry about shopping for milk, bread etc. This was our second visit, and will hopefully be back again.

  • "Think it should be made clearer just how small & enclosed the rear courtyard is."

    Totally unsuitable for dogs & not a very nice space to sit in, no sunshine reaches in as walls are so tall & it was full of bird mess. We tried to have a bbq but it wasn't a nice area to have it in.

    It is situated in a beautiful and unspoiled part of the uk which hosts spectacular sandy beaches; stunning scenery with plenty of lovely places to visit. Northumberland certainly welcomes our four legged companions as many places allowed dogs. Will certainly visit again!

    It had everything in it that you could possibly need and was beautifully decorated throughout. The woodburner was lovely and cosy on an evening! The location was ideal for exploring the Northumberland coast or for a quiet walk on the beach just a couple of minutes away. A fabulous break!

  • "Sliversands cottage is excellent."

    Fabulous location near to the harbour and gorgeous sandy beaches only 3 miles away in Alnmouth. The cottage is very comfortable, clean, facilities are expectional. The added bonus of a smart tv was great, whilst returning to the cottage in an evening to relax and unwind with the roaring log burner. The owners had thought of everything and the kitchen had every untilsil you needed. Amble is a lovely friendly village, and perfect to explore Northumberland. We will definitely return to sliversands. A five star holiday, that we didn't want to end. Carl & Janet

  • "Silversands Cottage exceeded expectations."

    True that's it's recently been renovated and everything is new, but the cottage is so cozy and well equipped, a gorgeous fire and just round the corner from a pretty beach where dogs are welcome in winter. We spent Christmas there and the owners went to the extra trouble of a beautiful Xmas tree, a hamper and lovely decorations.We loved this place and will return.

  • "Silversands Cottage is the 4th Sykes cottage we have stayed in the area over the last 4 years."

    This cottage is the nicest cottage so far, it felt very relaxing, comfortable & we settled straight away, as did our dog Lucca. It is very warm & cosy, the heating system works efficiently to keep the cottage warm & welcoming in the evening when returning back at the cottage. The beds are amazingly comfy and we slept very well. The cottage was spotless, and easy to keep clean and tidy, very well designed. The smart TV & WiFi made our stay in the evenings active, whilst sitting with our tired dog after our walks on the beaches. The kitchen was very well equipped, because we have food allergies and our dog on holiday with us, we tend to eat in and cook our evening meals. The only thing it lacked was a grabrail on the bath wall to support transfers into the bath and for use of the overbath shower, as the bath is deep to step in and out. The owners Aaron & Michelle were very supportive, they contacted us to ensure we'd got the door lock number and to confirm if we had any issues or difficulty with the electric lock mechanism, to ring them back. The lock was fine and not difficult to use on our arrival. We have just 're booked to return to Silversands Cottage at Amble in February 2017 and always book our cottage through Sykes.

The property

This fantastic terraced cottage is set in a very popular area of Amble, just two minutes’ walk to the coast.

Beautifully presented, this contemporary cottage exudes a peace and calm with its well thought out interior; the owner has used pastel shades to create this tranquil oasis and the overall effect is one of quality and taste.

The bedrooms will delight even the lightest sleepers with their comfortable mattresses and co-ordinating throws and cushions.

The open plan ground floor has a corner sofa, woodburner and a spacious dining area, whilst the adjoining kitchen has all you need to prepare and deliver a gourmet Northumberland supper.

The space at the rear of the cottage is compact but perfect to allow pets and children out for a breath of fresh air.

Amble harbour is just a five minute stroll away and offers a wide selection of pubs, restaurants and takeaways all serving good food and beverages.

Why not take a walk along the banks of the Coquet towards Warkworth, here you can grab a bite to eat or enjoy a good rustle through the art and gift shops?

A short drive from Amble will take you to the charming villages of Craster and Alnmouth, or perhaps spend a day in the popular market town of Alnwick with its famous gardens and ancient castle.

If you can bear to leave the delights of the area behind, why not take a trip to Berwick-upon-Tweed, Holy Island, Hadrian's Wall or Rothbury, the delights of this ancient county are just waiting to be discovered.

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.
