Absolutely perfect in every way. Cannot praise this accomodation enough. We had two wonderful weeks here in Amble. Friendly and vibrant area. Lots to see and do. The bungalow was pristine. So warm and inviting with everything you need. Comfortable beds,super hot shower and a bath if you prefer. Garden was very private and secure.I just cannot fault this place and will be back as soon as we can. Thank you Barbara and Mick for the lovely welcoming basket and the up to date information on and before arrival.

Lovely clean bungalow, great location.

We had a lovely stay at Ariel House. The bungalow was beautifully clean and had everything we needed. Location was great, a short easy stroll down to the harbour and little beach. Also easy to drive to many different places of interest. Barbara was very easy to contact and very helpful. We had a lovely stay, thank you!

We loved it here. Good communication from the owners making it an easy check in. The cottage is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The garden is very safe and secure for dogs even for little escape artists like ours. Well located with lots of local amenities and shops in walking distance.

Great place

Place was clean and beautifully furnished, had pretty much everything we needed. The welcome pack was much appreciated and the information pack was very useful. I had an issue with the heating (totally user-error) and Barbara responded to me very quickly. The house is ideally located for touring round Northumberland.
