Welcome to Kindly Light Cottage, a newly renovated traditional stone building located on a quiet residential street in the heart of Amble! Here we welcome one well behaved dog and equally well behaved children. One travel cot is available, as well as a high chair for the dining room This beautifully renovated cottage retains the character of its origins in the 1900's, when Kindly Light Cottage was built as a residential home. Decorated throughout with a modern nautical theme reflecting the roots of the family, as well as the town, this wonderful cottage boasts 2 spacious double bedrooms and one twin bedded room, fully renovated kitchen equipped with dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave and air frier. Separate Dining room, and access to the spacious sun trap yard equipped with charcoal grill and seating area for evenings sunning yourself after a day out exploring the town and local area! Local amenities include several pubs and restaurants within walking distance for those days when you don't fancy cooking, as well as local shops, butchers, grocers and bakers on the nearby Queen Street. Fish and chips are always available and delicious from the seaside, alongside quality weekend markets, fishmongers and a collection of pop-up pod shops leading down to the harbor walls. Located 31 miles north of Newcastle, Amble is a quiet seaside town, known for shipbuilding with a rich history of fishing, friendly locals, fascinating wildlife and natural wild environment. Amble also holds the title 'Kindliest Port' or ‘Friendliest Port’. The earliest mentions of Amble date all the way back to 1090, and relics of its ancient history can still be found dotted about the town.
Taken over and brought into the 21st Century by the Cornforth family, who's roots are nearby, they have made every effort to retain the character of the building, even adding a wood burning stove to the living room in the original fireplace for that homely yet old fashioned feel. The Cornforth's have a long family history in fishing, so it seemed suitable to create a holiday space that is still so in touch with it! You can even see on the front of the building, a small planter had been custom made in replica of the fishing and potting boat the cottage is named after, built in the 70's and used daily by a very beloved and missed member of the family, the replica stands in his memory. The family have painstakingly designed and chosen every detail you see in the cottage, even down to the ship's steering wheel in the living room! A lot of love and care has gone into the design and renovation of this place to create a relaxing feeling of home away from home in this humble cottage, and we hope you love it as much as we do!
In Amble guests can enjoy water sports, hiking, cycling or simply enjoy the many cafes, restaurants and independent shops. Little shore beach and harbour is just a 10 min walk. A perfect base to explore the miles of beautiful coast line and small fishing villages that Northumberland offers.
