Holidaymakers heading to Northumberland are being 'blown away' by a stylish apartment that boasts sweeping sea views and a private hot tub. Known as Hemingway's, this property has been described as a 'very special' place to stay, sitting just steps from a hidden gem beach recently designated as an official wild swimming spot.
Prime Location in Amble
Located on the waterfront in the seaside village of Amble, Hemingway's offers a luxurious retreat for families or groups of up to six guests, plus a dog. The apartment overlooks Amble Marina, with views stretching across the sea to the neighbouring village of Warkworth and its medieval castle. The standout feature is undoubtedly the hot tub on the balcony, where guests can enjoy panoramic sea views under the stars.
Indoor Comfort and Scenery
Even from inside, the scenery is a highlight. The lounge area features floor-to-ceiling windows and patio doors perfectly positioned to watch the bustling harbour. Guests can relax in comfort while taking in the ever-changing vista of boats and coastal life.
Guest Reviews and Pricing
Despite a price tag of £1,753 for five nights (next available at the end of July), the apartment has earned rave reviews. One guest celebrating their 70th birthday said: 'We were blown away by this amazing property and the stunning location. The property was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The luxury of a balcony with a hot tub was the icing on the cake.'
Another reviewer commented: 'What a fantastic apartment, it really was a wonderful find. The place was immaculate, finished to a high standard... The views were amazing and there really was no need for a TV - the changing landscape would entertain anyone.'
Nearby Beaches and Attractions
Hemingway's is a short stroll from Little Shore beach, one of 13 new bathing sites designated by the Environment Agency last month, making it a haven for wild swimmers. Adjacent is Amble Links Beach, offering views towards Coquet Island nature reserve, home to 35,000 nesting seabirds. Amble itself, known for its brightly coloured beach huts and 'friendliest port in England' title, was crowned among the top 10 seaside staycation locations last year.
Alternative Accommodation
For larger groups, Sykes Holiday Cottages offers The Waves (sleeps eight, from £1,482 for seven nights) or the budget-friendly Creel Cottage (sleeps five, from £528 per week). Both are dog-friendly. The Amble Inn, top-rated on Booking.com, provides 30 bedrooms plus a bar and beer garden.
Minor Drawback
One guest noted a potential issue: 'Only glitch is the other half of the site caters for bikers, walkers and schools. We had a school party in that were quite boisterous until 9pm on two evenings.'
