We really liked the location it was very quiet and close to the places we wanted to visit.<br/>Also liked the shower.<br/><br/>TV was rather small and the buttons on the remote had to be pressed several times

A lovely clean house. A folder with everything from nearby walks and amenities to how to work the tv was so helpful.

Everything needed for a long weekend away. Beds were comfortable and shower really good.<br/><br/>Could do with some updating and decorating in some areas.

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:<br/>Freezer compartment in refrigerator or separate freezer <br/>Old fashioned wooden furniture in lounge needs replacing.<br/>Flower pots in front garden all full of weeds!<br/>Back garden in need of full makeover<br/>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.<br/>Missing a few home comforts (kitchen roll, pepper) and we found empty beer cans in a low down cupboard on arrival. <br/>Also didn’t appreciate the extra insurance we had to pay for. Surely AirB&B covers insurance? <br/>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. <br/>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

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. <br/>Would recommend to friends and family.

Great stay at Shortys - had everything we needed and only a short walk into the centre of Amble. Proactive communication in advance, during and after stay. No issues at all.

Good size garden for the two dogs we had with us. Within easy walking distance of shops, good access to beach for dog walks and easy to get back on main route for other places to visit.

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.

Location great<br/><br/>The double bed needs replacing , you fall into the middle , we turned the mattress over to discover it was bed base not mattress. The single bed room was not much better . The dinning room chairs need some maintenance . Not the 1 st to tell these problems notes left in house from past people

Shorty's is a semi detached property in a quiet area. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. It was a super base to explore the Northumberland coast. Thank you so much.

Amble is beautiful, the accommodation had everything we needed , the shower was lovely and warm. fully stocked kitchen , squeaky beds but didn't keep us up. large driveway and lovely garden . we would stay again. The host was very quick at responding too thank you !

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.
21/07/2022
Location in residential area within walking distance of local amenities. Great to have parking and a secure garden for our dog. <br/>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.
18/07/2022
Comfortable house. It has everything you need and there is easy access to the Northumberland Coastal Route
12/07/2022
Prefect for our needs. Enclosed garden good for the dogs. 10 minute walk to beach although dogs not allowed on Amble breach. Lovely area to stay.

Lovely home for exploring the Northumbrian coast.
22/06/2022
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.

The property was in good area, close to Main Street and marina. The property was let down by <br>1- the shower. Dangerous, either boiling hot or cold, no happy medium. <br>2- Front door sticking and difficult to open. <br>3-TV reception made it impossible to watch.

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.
