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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Very good property
The property suited us very well. Within walking distance of the harbour and some excellent restaurants. Nice size for us and our two dogs. Some nice welcoming touches on arrival. The only problem was parking when there were events on across the road.

Loved staying at this very comfortable cottage. It's very handily placed, parking is easy and the woodburner is fab. Amble is a terrific little town with lots going on. Everywhere is very dog friendly too.

Cosy cottage & great hospitality
Cosy, comfortable & clean house. Pretty good location, close to the centre of Amble & the harbour. Parking outside was always fine for us. Good base for south Northumberland & all it has to offer. Great communication from the owner, Diane. She even brought round some sticks & logs for the wood burner because it was unseasonably cold on a couple of nights. Thanks! We would recommend any local beach - they are all great, but Bamburgh, Hauxley, Druridge Bay & Embleton in particular. Lovely castles, obviously, Bamburgh, Alnwick. Didn’t get to Warkworth. Saw seals on Holy Island. In Amble, ice cream at Spurellis is good, coffee at a harbour stall & fish and chips at Queens Plaice on the high street were excellent (& gluten free).

A hidden gem in Northumberland
What a smashing wee cottage near the harbour in Amble. Fully equipped and very comfortable. Absolutely loved the mini hot water bottles, but never needed them, due to the excellent heating system . . .however, will have to find out where to get them! Grandsons were more than happy to have baths. . .with dinosaurs. . .after busy days exploring the surrounding areas, and loved their bunk beds. Highly recommended for couples or families, we hope to be back before too long. Thank you Di, for making our stay so special x

Had a great holiday. Cottage adequate, a bit hemmed in but we liked Amble very much
Adequate cottage perhaps more cutlery and glasses. An oven glove would be welcome.
