Anchor Cottage

Reviews

"Anchor Cottage is the most fabulous place to stay. From the minute you walk in and see the welcome cake and other goodies you start to feel immediately special and at home. The cottage is warm, spotlessly clean, well equipped with everything you could possibly need, comfy sofas and beds, plush towels, cosy log burners for romantic evenings and spectacular views overlooking the sea (each bedroom has a Juliette balcony so we woke up every day to the sound of waves and views of the sea). Sitting out on the garden bench with a glass of wine watching the changing seascape, walking along the deserted beach, or star gazing at a dark clear sky, it’s a perfect haven of rest and relaxation! For the more active, the cottage is on nearby coastal paths and there’s plenty of places to visit in the area. It’s a great base for exploring Northumberland with lots of wildlife on your doorstep.Lots of great places to eat (scones in The Drift cafe is a must do) within a short walk or car drive if you can drag yourself away from the beautiful cottage!! The neighbours gave us such a warm welcome too and are such lovely folk, great to chat with about the history and local area. We stayed for a glorious week and loved every minute. It is a truly exceptional and special place to stay. We will be recommending Anchor Cottage to all our friends and will definitely be booking again. Can’t wait to return."Elaine and Carl - November 2018 - 11th December 2018

This cottage is absolutely stunning and set in a beautiful location. The owners have done a fantastic renovation, you can see the sheer hard work, thought and love that has gone into it. Their attention to detail is amazing. It is so well equipped, they have thought of everything - it’s absolutely perfect. As guests you are made so welcome, we arrived to find home made cake, milk, marmalade and fresh cut flowers. The view from the kitchen window looking out to sea is breath taking and waking up on a morning looking from your bed to watch the sunrise was a perfect start to each day. The location of the cottage is spot on for exploring the beautiful Northumberland coastline, but dragging ourselves from the cottage each day was difficult but we did it. While we were there the days were cold but coming “home” to the cottage each day and warming ourselves in front of the log fire made the perfect end to an already fantastic day. Jane and Nigel should be so proud of what they have achieved. Thank you for all the useful information, keeping in touch and for making us feel so welcome. We can’t recommend this cottage enough, we will be telling friends and family about it without a doubt and will most definitely be coming back. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Thank you Joanne - 31st October 2018

Anchor Cottage was perfect for us, with walks on the beach right from the doorstep. We loved the comfy double bed with double doors opening out onto a fabulous sea view, two bathrooms was an added luxury, and we enjoyed getting the two log burners going on an evening. The cottage was very clean, and quiet. Plenty to do, if we could drag ourselves away from the beach. The Boat trip from Amble around Coquet Island was great, as was Hauxley Nature Reserve and Druridge Bay Country Park. The local history was fascinating, and we were lucky enough to meet the local archaeologist, who gave us a guided tour of the Pele Tower - brilliant! All in all, we had a very relaxing week, didn’t want to leave, and will definitely be back. Mr H - 5th May 2018

Lovely cottage, excellent furnishing, fittings, and exceptionally clean-the best we have found in over 30 years of self catering cottage holidays. We can thoroughly recommend this cottage. Very helpful owners as well. Vera and Nigel, Epworth - 18th September 2016

We've just returned from a lovely week's stay at Anchor Cottage. The cottage is beautiful. It has been renovated to such a high standard whilst keeping the character of the cottage. We were blessed with good weather during the day however the wood burners were invaluable as the evenings were cold. It was so cosy chilling with a bottle of wine, watching the fire. The view from the cottage is stunning and it was a pleasure washing up with such spectacular views. The proprietors have thought of everything and the cottage is so well stocked. They have provided a wealth of information, including lots of tourist information, which we have added to. We arrived to beautiful flowers, milk and the most delicious cake. Tea and cake was most welcome after our long journey. Lorraine, Wickford - 1st March 2016
