Quayside
Amble marina
This is no ordinary quay to be beside! Amble’s burgeoning marina life makes this quite ‘the place to be’ if you want to grab a slice of the sea views, boating activities and the lively cosmopolitan café culture building up around the water’s edge.
Quayside is exactly as the name suggests, directly overlooking the water, the yachts and fishing boats. As a first floor apartment within a striking-looking contemporary building, it commands attention from the start. Step inside and the light and airy space draws you in and towards the vast views which take the eye from historic Warkworth Castle to one side, over the boats and then out to sea.
A contemporary gloss kitchen with cooking island and breakfast bar means you’ll be amply catered for, when you don’t choose to sample some of the increasingly-rated restaurants within easy walking distance of the apartment. A spacious living area with large leather corner sofa offers plenty of space for relaxing and taking in the views. And with as many bathrooms as bedrooms, this offers some truly excellent holidaying space for up to four guests.

Location
Right by the side of the marina in this bustling boat lovers’ town, Quayside takes guests right into the heart of marina life. You can watch all the boat activity from the comfort of the balcony or living room – that’s if you’re not actually taking part yourself! Shops, cafes and restaurants aplenty are within walking distance, so you could park your car and forget about it. Boats sail to Coquet Island, which is known for its seabirds, daily in the summer months from the pier, just a few minutes away from the apartment.
A short drive away is the lovely village of Warkworth with its historic castle, art gallery and shops. Alnmouth with its lovely beach and golf courses is a little further north, 10 minutes by car, and the villages of Seahouses and Bamburgh are around 25 minutes away by car.
