Lilian's Retreat

Rated 4/50 by on 7th November 2016

"Lilian was waiting to greet us when we arrived and made us very welcome. The property is in a quiet area on the edge of town, is very well equipped, warm and comfortable and has a lovely, spacious garden and a little conservatory for warmer days. There is a wealth of information about the area in the sitting room. Amble is well placed for using as a base to explore Northumberland and we enjoyed visits to Seahouses, Bamburgh, Alnmouth, Alnwick, Berwick upon Tweed, Hexham, Housesteads, Durham and Sunderland (to visit family and friends), also Amble itself. There is a good variety of shops in Amble on Queen Street and on the harbour. For eating out we would recommend The Wellwood and also the fish and chips from down by the harbour are superb. What did we like best? My husband's answer would be The Olde Ship at Seahouses, a beautiful old building, which served lovely food and sold McEwan's Scotch Ale - a Mackem, he has been deprived of it for a long time as it is not available in Lincolnshire and surrounding counties. Seriously though, the beautiful coast and lovely castles. Least favourite, my answer would be lack of both wifi and signal on my mobile in a great many areas. Thankfully the friends who travelled with us were with a different supplier so we were not completely without a working phone in case of emergencies. I would recommend Lilian's retreat wholeheartedly for a couple, friends or a small family and we hope to return in the not too distant future."

"Lovely clean house, near to all amenities. A visit to Alnwick Castle is a must. The best free attraction we found was the Chain Honey Bridge Farm where you were able to walk to Scotland from. The Wellwood in Amble was good for Sunday Carvery but the evening meals were not as good or such good value as 2015. Great beaches for our grand-daughter who wants to come back again in 2017"

"Owner there to welcome us and let us in early. Gave a quick resume of various things we needed to know and left us in peace. The house and garden were very clean and tidy. It was very well equiped, but did need larger pans when cooking for 5! The estate was very quiet and people were friendly. It was at the top of the town but only 10 mins walk down a shortcut through the estate. Amble is a lovely village with lots of very good independent shops and a Sunday market (somewhat depleted in winter). There have been new developments since we were last there and they have improved the village around the harbour area. There are good road links to larger towns and seaside villages and much to see. A good area for the coastal path route and very clean beaches."

"This was our second visit to Lillian's and it did not disappoint. Landlady Lillian makes you so welcome you never want to leave ! The house has everything you need and is in such a quiet area yet a 10 minute walk takes you into town. Nice restaurants and take-aways to enjoy in Amble make the stay even better."

"We really enjoyed our stay here. Comfortable lounge, good size kitchen with a nice sun room leading off. Found the beds really comfortable. The owner, Lilian, is really friendly and to hand if you need her. Property is in a nice residential area and has a really good size garden. Would like to return one day."
