Host & Stay | Hithe House — Guest Reviews

The house was well presented, clean and was ideal as a base for our family group. The hosts were clear with their instructions and looked to see if there was anything we needed prior to our stay. Amble has some very nice restaurants (Jaspers, while not cheap was fantastic) and an excellent ice cream parlour. The harbour and small vendors provide a variety of offers. The town isn’t quaint in comparison to a number of other Northumberland locations, but it is easy to get to a variety of different places and is more affordable than many.

Met with family in this beautifully presented house in a great location close to the harbour in Amble. It was so well-equipped and with a nice little seating area at the back ( which isn’t actually mentioned in the description). We loved our stay.

Amble is a lovely fishing town and the property is in a great location for getting to the seafront. On street parking but we didn’t have any issues with 2 cars. The house was a good size and good location for getting out to drive onwards to the local beautiful sights. We were however, disappointed with access to a high chair. I asked whether one was available a few weeks before staying and they confirmed they had no travel cot but did provide a high chair, but upon arrival at the property there was no high chair. They were fairly responsive, but ultimately this didn’t get resolved so we had difficulty feeding our 9 month old safely for the few days we were there. Upon pushing, they said they’d ordered one but it would take a week to arrive which didn’t help. I just felt they could have done more, and we could have brought our own if we’d known in advance (which I’d tried to preempt by asking prior to arrival). Despite that, we had a great time exploring beautiful Northumberland.

Hithe House is in a great location with a wonderful open plan ground floor which is great for groups. There was plenty of space for our party of 4 adults, 1 toddler and 1 baby which was great. Unfortunately the floors didn’t seem to have been vacuumed as there were a lot of dog hairs on the floors and carpets so this made it very difficult for us to let our baby play on the floor anywhere. The house is in a great spot for Amble as it’s right near the harbour and a wonderful seafood restaurant and fish & chip shop.

Stayed with two families and was the perfect size for all, nice modern house with everything you need and lovely decor. Very comfy sofa! Great location with great pub and fish and chip shop in same road as well as seafood restaurants just minutes away. Hand access to harbour and long beach walks as well as local shops. Very well placed for climbing hills, visiting castles and beaches. Perfect place to stay to experience everything Northumbria has to offer. Dale the host was really responsive and provided all information we needed.

After a couple of hiccups with getting a damage waiver in place, we got access to the property which is amazing. It all looks very newly renovated and has all the things needed for a family break. The house is spacious and comfortable, the showers are lovely. Plenty of parking on the street outside. Amble is a perfect location for lots of days out (Alnwick, Cragside, lots of castles and coastal walks, beautiful beaches all within a 30 min drive). There is an amazing fish shop just a few doors away, and ice cream parlour just round the corner, and plenty of lovely restaurants less than 10 minutes walk away.

Fabulous house very thoughtfully refurbished and fitted out. Excellent attention to detail with lots of lovely finishing touches. Short walk for everything you needed, from beach to lots of lovely places to eat, and shops for anything you need close by.

Hithe House was the perfect place for me, my daughters and grandchildren to spend a few days during the October holiday. The layout was great for a multigenerational group, travel cot and high chair provided, not too much clutter so good for small children. Easy walking distance to town and a short drive to many interesting places for days out. The decor and furnishings seemed new and fresh. We all agreed that we would be happy to return with family or with friends.

Just got back from a 7 night stay at Hithe house. We felt the space really fulfilled our needs - 4 adults, 2 children and 1 dog. It actually exceeded our expectations. The house is really nicely presented, very light and airy and all the items you would need for a comfortable stay from comfy couches, well equipped, clean kitchen and everything in between. There is a yard at the back with a table and bench which is useful but due to weather we didn’t use it much. Hithe house is perfectly located in Amble - a short walk to a few beaches and plenty of cafes/bars/restaurants. We had two cars between us and managed to park directly outside all week. I would definitely stay again if I were to visit Amble in the future and would recommend to anyone else to book. Also great communication from the host. Thank you!

Very comfortable relaxing stay enjoyed by 3 generations and a dog. Positive: Location great. Breakfast N/A Negative: Outside space

Stayed with a group of friends. Perfect location, close to the harbour and town centre. Plenty of good walking from the doorstep, to castles and beaches! Walking distance to the Fish Shack which was superb. Really enjoyed the Sunday Market. The house was spacious, stylish, comfortable and well stocked. The owner had thought of everything. Will definitely be back.

Perfect location to local shops and conveniences. Perfectly located for the various tourist attractions up and down the Positive: It was clean and spacious. Plenty of room for 5 adults and two teenagers. Good space and facilities for cooking and dining. Negative: Nothing

Great host, great location. Will definitely back again if we are in the area. What’s not to like! Lots of great restaurants, beautiful coastline.

Beautiful, well appointed, pristine house. Exactly as the photos. Very good location, close to the harbour and a short walk from the Main Street and shops. The back garden whilst a bit basic was a veritable suntrap, luckily we had our camping chairs to make use of it. Saying that we had a wonderful stay in a lovely property and would highly recommend it.

Really good accommodation in a great location Positive: Clean and tidy. Close to the harbour and fish restaurants. Amble is easy to get around and an excellent base from which to explore the castles, gardens and beaches in Northumberland. Street parking was always available with in a few yards of the front door. Negative: A few mi or repairs were needed-leaking wash basin in one bathroom and no plug in another. It would be nice to have a tea pot, condiments and some basic toiletries beyond hand wash. Those sleeping in the top floor double should know that the seagulls start stomping at dawn😂

Highly recommended. Great location, lovely and clean and really comfy beds

Great house great location Positive: It had all we needed Negative: Nothing

Thanks it felt like home! The terrace property was bigger than expected with plenty of room for 6 people and matched its description. light and bright throughout. Fully equipped kitchen great dining space and a lounge which fit in everyone. Rooms were simply stylishly decorated, not cluttered, lovely fresh bed linen and plenty of pillows. Beds were hard but nothing that can’t be fixed with a thick mattress topper. Three modern Bathrooms were clean with lots of hot water for showers. Outside space was a bonus for morning coffee and breakfast. Plenty of parking outside the property and around Amble. Amble is a fabulous place lots of places to eat, walk to and do around the area. Managed a trip to Edinburgh in the week of fab weather. With castles galore and a huge number of beaches to go to. Host and Stay were great and timely at communicating necessary information, friendly and approachable. They provided an online resource about the house and area beforehand. Great comms!
