The Old Smithy, Amble

Northumberland. Sleeps up to 6

The Old Smithy is a 200 year old former BlackSmiths and offers well-presented accommodation, ideal for a family getaway to the coastal town of Amble, Northumberland. With separate rooms on the ground-floor, guests can gather in the elegant sitting room, take a seat in the stylish dining room, or spend time preparing food in the fully-fitted kitchen. All the rooms are light and airy, and the property exudes a warm, welcoming vibe. A spacious courtyard outside provides plenty of room for children and pets to run around safely in an enclosed space, while the adults can make the most of the patio furniture as they soak up the sunshine. There is even a barbecue, so if the weather allows it, why not fire it up and enjoy some alfresco dining? When it’s time for bed, make your way to any of the three delightful bedrooms, choosing between a double, a twin, and a children’s bunk bedroom. After a rejuvenating night’s sleep and a refreshing shower in the contemporary shower room, you’re ready to go and explore. The Old Smithy is a wonderful base from which to discover the delights of the region, with the property already in the heart of the bustling seaport of Amble. 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. 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. The Old Smithy offers charming and attractive accommodation, making it the perfect destination for a family holiday.
