Good selection of retailers, I visited to grab a sausage roll from Geordie Banger Co and coffee from Mocha Mondo Coffee. Both excellent, both highly recommended. Plenty of parking nearby, with plenty to see with some seating. I took away one star because what it really needs is a dedicated covered seating area, otherwise makes a great stopping off point.

In the right weather, this is a stunning place for a wander and a coffee. Appreciated the friendly starlings while having a drink and the beautiful views. Parking is somewhat limited when it is busy but plenty of local shops and places to eat and drink. The coffee shop, Mocha Mondo serves excellent drinks.

This is certainly worth a visit if you're in Amble. There are a range of pods from a 'Geordie Bangers' (a purveyor of exceptionally high quality and tasty baked pork products) to coffee shops, and trinket / souvenir outlets, all at reasonable prices. In addition, the bar / restaurant also down in the village area - The Old Boathouse - though a bit more pricey than other eateries in the area, offers a friendly welcome and good food. Its USP though, is the views of harbour whilst eating or drinking - actually worth the bit extra you will pay.

We take the scenic coastal road from Bamburgh, passing through Seahouses, where brightly painted boats bob back into harbour, bringing happy sightseers home from trips to the Farne Islands. These rocky islets are now a protected seabird sanctuary, home to puffins, guillemots and kittiwakes, but in centuries past they were places of solitude and refuge for saints such as St. Cuthbert, who lived on Inner Farne in the 7th century. The coast also recalls the courage of Grace Darling, the lighthouse keeper’s daughter, whose daring rescue of shipwrecked sailors in 1838 from nearby Longstone Lighthouse captured the nation’s heart. Further along, the road brings us to the romantic ruins of Warkworth Castle, its towers rising proudly above the River Coquet. Built in the 12th century, the castle was a stronghold of the powerful Percy family, Dukes of Northumberland. Its unusual heart-shaped keep, begun in the late 14th century under the first Earl of Northumberland, makes it one of the most distinctive castles in England. We pause in Amble, a harbour village at the mouth of the Coquet, where colourful cottages overlook the estuary. The walk towards the marina is peaceful, though the skeletal remains of sunken boats protruding at the river mouth hint at the town’s more turbulent seafaring past. Cormorants dive and resurface playfully on the water, while the harbour hums with new life. Small wooden huts now line the quay, transformed into quirky shops selling local crafts, seafood, and sweet treats. We stop for fish and chips – freshly fried, golden, and piping hot – without doubt some of the best we’ve tasted in ages. Back at the car, we continue south along the coast, reflecting on a journey that has woven together history, nature, and character in every stretch of shoreline.

Amble is lager than we expected nice people good shops not many empty and closed. Very good ice cream parlour/tearoom. Some good eateries, not cheap.

I love this place. Peacefully nice. Great watching the waves on a windy day too. The fish restaurant is Amazing

Lovely little fishing village,still at work but not like the days gone bye I'm sure. Good fishing at the harbour entrance, good ice cream and fish and chips

We ate at The Old Boat House on the first night of our three night stay in Amble. Definitely a good choice. The choice of fish dishes was great and tasted amazing. I had the fish and chips and my husband had the Makeral off the specials board. We hadn't booked but they managed to squeeze us in. I would definitely recommend booking as its a very popular restaurant. We visited the second evening just for drinks and spent a few hours sat outside enjoying the nice weather. We visited again on the third night with the intention of just having drinks but again it was such a lovely evening one drink turned into three so we decided to stay and ordered pizza, which was just as good. The staff are so welcoming and chatty. Nothing is too much for them. I can highly recommend a visit.

Fantastic menu with fresh fish and shellfish, great desserts, and cocktails. Friendly service. Everything cooked to order so a slow food experience. Some of the best shellfish I've had.

The food was impeccable! Incredibly tasty with very good service. The decor was beautiful and so was the views and the food. We were at in a corner table which really did feel like the best seat in the house. The food arrived quickly and promptly, including any extras such as drinks and sides. The seafood was so fresh and cooked to perfection, In our party we had two lobsters, muscles (which were the largest I'd ever eaten!), Hake and king prawns. All was to die for. Was certainly an expensive meal, but I didn't feel short changed at all! Would come back if we ever got the chance - make sure to book as it's a very busy place, you can tell they've really cracked the service and food. Thank you for a wonderful evening on our last evening of our holiday!

Lovely May Day, five of us decided to eat here over looking the sea, we all ordered the same haddock and chips with mushy peas and homemade tartare sauce. It was a lovely fresh fish, chips some of the best I have had, great peas and homemade tartare sauce,All five of us really rated here, freshness of the food, the place it’s self and great friendly staff. Mine £27.20 inc coffee, all said it was good value.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Wasn’t a planned visit , we thought we would try our luck getting a table as it was very busy. Success, we got a lovely table on the side street. My wife had the Fish & Chips, I had the Bass and our son had the kids Pizza. All the food was exceptional, the staff were brilliantly. Highly recommend this place if you get a chance to visit.

Enjoyed a wonderful meal whilst visiting Northumberland. A lovely location by the harbour, warm and friendly welcome, great service, and above all superb food! We went for the seafood sharing platter (pictured) and it was wonderful. A great variety of fresh locally caught fish, mussels and lobster. And for the size of the platter, it was very good value - our only problem was we couldn’t quite finish it all but we gave it a damn good go! Highly recommended and we will definitely return.

The salads that came with the kids’ meal I ordered for my son were full of bugs and dirt! I don’t even want to imagine my 2-year-old eating that. When we showed the bugs to the staff, they apologized and offered free chips. In my opinion, there’s no excuse or compensation for putting bugs on a child’s plate.

Beautiful ice cream. Too many flavours to choose from. But four people, totally enjoyed what they had. We're locals, not holidaymakers but use Spurreli every week. Excellent all the time.

If you're looking for the perfect chocolate ice cream cone you need to hit up Spurreli! My family and I stopped by and we all had chocolate ice cream in a waffle cone. I've never tasted chocolate ice cream so good before. It had a very creamy texture and wasn't overly sweet. 10/10!

Came in to get an ice cream and the ice cream was really nice and great value for money. Unfortunately as I entered I was immediately rushed by one of the staff members who didn't really give me enough time to think and seemed quite impatient. I understood there was a small que but it makes the atmosphere feel abit unfriendly if you're rushing people without even greeting them as they go through the door.

Extremely rude service at this store, was close to closing but the old woman worker said we could come and get some ice cream, then had the door locked behind us and and told repeatedly in a nasty tone to hurry up and chose and that she agreed to a few of us not a few hundred… there was 6….(4 being young children) disgusting customer service absolutely appalling!

Lovely looking place with plenty of kerb appeal. Friendly welcome, great coffee & fab cakes. 1st time visit with recommendation from a local. Would definitely return.

Really lovely little place with both indoor and outside seating. Staff are friendly and very quick service. Tasty coffee and absolutely delicious cakes. All reasonably priced. Lots of different flavours of ice cream to choose from as well.

Great cafe with delicious ice creams. The ladies behind the counter were great, very polite and helpful. They were cash only that day due to issues with the card machine.

A beautiful restaurant with stunning views—such a treat! The seafood pot was absolutely delicious, and the burger was just as impressive. The staff were warm and attentive, though service at the shack took a little while. That said, once we were served, everything was fantastic. Huge thanks to the team!

Visited The Fish Shack today. We were seated promptly and had a fabulous, cosy table that had a view out to the harbour. We ordered the fish platter and wow !!! It was absolutely amazing. A delight for the eyes and the tastebuds. Good selection of drinks to accompany the meal. Staff welcoming and attentive. Even the handwash and hand cream in the bathroom was good. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

We had a lovely meal here, a delicious choice of fresh fish, and brilliantly cooked. The shack was cosy, without being small, and the service was great. It's not a super fancy establishment, the quality of the ingredients do the talking.

Wonderful lunch. We enjoyed the fantastic sea food platter which was ample food for 4! Superb array of tasty seafood would highly recommended. Kids also enjoyed their food from the child’s menu. We sat at an outside table overlooking the harbour. They also have fun individual ‘sheds’ with a view which looked very fun and cosy if the weather is inclement.

Visited for lunch, it was busy and we hadn't made a reservation but we're lucky they had one table for two available. We just wanted small plates, there was varied choice on the menu plus also a daily specials. I had a New England-style chowder with smoked haddock and pancetta, really generous for a small plate (£12.95) with bread on the side, and it was absolutely delicious,.and filling. Husband had scallops with black pudding and haggis (£15.00), big scallops which were cooked perfectly. There were so many other things on the menus we would have liked eat, we'll just have to come back!

Very popular fish restaurant. We had the fish and chips - batter and fish was amazing! In a nice position at the harbour in Amble not that far from some good parking. Staff were very friendly and helpful and it was super foggy friendly. I didn't like the coffee particularly but that's just personal preference.

Made a reservation for dinner. Very busy restaurant but with sufficient staff to ensure the service was attentive. Great food at a reasonable price point, served by really friendly staff. Highly recommended.👍🏻

We stayed for 4 nights at the Amble Inn in Morpeth and had a really lovely time. The hotel was a lovely place to stay with friendly helpful staff that kept on smiling even when extremely busy. The breakfast menu was outstanding with every breakfast need catered for, we enjoyed an energy boosting full cooked breakfast every morning before our days of adventure began. All the things we wanted to visit were all within 20 miles of the hotel, such as Seahouses, Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle and Barter books and more. We got lost once because of a road closure but we enjoyed trying to find our way around on the enchanting country roads, the scenery is beautiful. In the end we were sad to leave which tells me that we had a very good holiday and a holiday that we will repeat at some point in the near future.

Specifically chose The Inn Collection hotel because we knew it was wheelchair accessible. (We stayed in Blyth last year.) Bathroom and toilets were accessible. Good location to use as a base to visit other places. As you can tell on maps, not in a particularly scenic location. However, their outdoor area is pleasant. Comfortable room. Enjoyed our breakfast- self-service. Good coffee. Good music. Would recommend and will be staying in another Inn Collection next year.

It's a very nice pub! The food was excellent and the staff were polite and friendly. Service was prompt and it all came at good value for money. It's a fairly new build, but it has a lovely cosy feeling to it. We would definitely recommend it.

Pleasant environment and front of house staff were friendly enough. The allergy menu was easy to find and user friendly, however I really struggled to find much that was dairy free. I tried to have Korean Venison Ribs but they had run out so I just went with a vegan burger. It was easily the worst thing I've been served in a long time. The bun was wet underneath and at the same time completely solid (couldn't even get a fork in). I ended up taking the burger out and eating it on its own with the chips. The chips at least we're quite nice. Noone asked whether the food had been ok. I wondered if that was because they already knew it wasn't. Anyway what my friend and I really wanted was somewhere to sit and chat which we did and had a good laugh. We both agreed we would go back for a drink but wouldn't eat there again.

We have stayed here 3 times now but this is the first time we have booked an adaptive room due to my husband having his leg amputated earlier this year. We really like this place but, unfortunately, the 'wet room' was unable to be used by my husband as, due to the wrong camber on the floor, the water never fully drained away leaving the floor too risky for my husband to risk having a shower. He managed to get to the toilet and sink ( very small with no plug!) in his wheelchair, but never risked a shower. Apart from that the stay was, as always very enjoyable, especially as we could get to the microbrewery down the road ( opens at 4pm, very busy, great place). We will be back to the Amble but I won't bother booking an adaptive room again.

Stayed 2 nights Lovely big comfortable & clean bedroom. It has a beer garden so nice to sit outside in warm weather but it could do with some upgrading. Breakfast was basic.

Lovely place to stay. Great rooms, comfy beds. A little let down by cleanliness of dinning area.

Been here a few times and every time we had a lovley expeience, be it just having a drink, small snack or lunch, fabulous place, nice and quiet. The haddock and chips - delicious, very generous portion.

Popped in by chance today for Lobster Mac & Cheese which was delicious. Brilliant friendly service & how lovely to see tables AND chairs cleaned after every customer together with a sweeping of the floor. Don't often see that standard of cleanliness these days. Will definitely return.

Wonderful! Absolutely gorgeous cafe. We visited as a group of 7. 4 adults, a teenager and 2 children. We were shown to a lovely big table and browsed the menu. Between us we ordered seafood chowders, scones, a prawn sandwich and spiced parsnip and carrot soup. Everything was outstanding. We all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. The staff were fantastic and the location is perfect. We can't wait to return.

Dropped in here for a cuppa. Really nice place, good choice, nice and well prepared food (Gluten free, Vegetarian, Soya milk etc.). The cleanest Cafe I've ever seen! Very nice and conscientious staff (hence the spotlessly clean) and really looked after the disabled customers too.

Eaten at Lily's Landing today for lunch. Nicely greeted by staff member as we arrived, shown to our table, ordered Haddock, chips and mushy peas, we were not disappointed at all, both our fish were as long as our plates, the batter was light and thin, the haddock was beautifully white and chunky, thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful, the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. An added bonus that we were able to take our dog with us too. Would recommend you try it.

Lovely atmosphere at this gem in Amble. Really nice food here and the staff were fantastic. Reasonably priced meals, including a specials board. Terrific find. Food was good quality and the fish was delicious. Has baby changing facilities and high chairs available. Doesn’t take American Express.

Best coffee I've had for months. Cakes delicious too, I had vegan banana/blueberry cake and husband a fruit scone. Lovely internal decor. Dog friendly too. Made very welcome by the owner.

Went to the sand bar for breakfast and left very impressed (and full). The cafe is dog friendly and our pups were even spoilt with a treat when our orders were taken. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. Had a full Scottish breakfast and can fully recommend this, food was really good quality and they even swapped items we didn't want. Would fully recommend Sand bar, it's really well placed for the Sunday market too which is worth a look.

Picture is a bit blurry, but probably the best breakfast I've had in a while! Perfect egg and the best black pudding I've ever had. Very quick service and friendly chatty staff too, felt very welcome.

Lovely little café bar. We enjoyed the Full Scottish Breakfast and also Eggs Benedict was beautiful. Great service and best part of all... GIN 😍

Lovely little café that you should visit if you're in Amble and in need of refreshment and especially if you're coeleaic! A wide range of sumptuous gluten free cakes were available when we stopped. The do large capaccino coffee - and they are large! Very friendly and dogs welcome. Couldn't have wished for better!

What a place we just turned up 3 hungry golfers on way to Warkworh Golf Club full English was very very nice service was class happy and helpful a must for a great food and atmosphere thanks will be back

We popped in this afternoon and had a lovely late lunch. What a really lovely cafe, not a huge place but it had a lovely atmosphere. It was spotlessly clean, nice music playing, friendly staff and the food was so scrumptious and not expensive either. Think the regular latte could of been bigger it was a small one really, the large is just an ordinary size latte cup. I'm sure we will be back when next in amble. Thanks

Great little bar / cafe in Amble. Decent selection of bottles from local breweries and a good looking selection of food. We nipped in 10 minutes before closing and the staff were fabulous, let us finish our beers while they finished up and gave us lots of tips for things to do in the area. Extra star for being dog friendly too! Love supporting local businesses and when they are as honest as this one it is easy to do.

A lovely warm atmosphere in this small tea room serving a selection of food and a huge range of loose and herbal teas (also available to buy). We had carrot and mango soup and stottie which was delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful informing us that all food was vegetarian and there was no problem adapting the soup so it was vegan-for which I was grateful for. Teas were well explained and very enjoyable. I highly recommend and will visit again in the future.

Dropped by on a Monday afternoon after our visit to the Alnwick Castle and when we couldn’t get a table at the nearby Grannies, but we were pleasantly surprised by how good the teas (we had the Gyokuro green tea and the Lover’s Lane tea) and the cheese scones are. Lovely little place and very friendly staff, highly recommended!

Excellent tea room. Great variety of teas and enjoyable scones. Worth a stop at while in Alnwick

Lovely little gem in Alnwick for fresh loose leaf tea.. long list of tea choices that you'd struggle to get else where. I love the soup and scone deal.. because their scones are amazing! Especially the fruit ones. They do a wonderful 'proper' hot chocolate too served with marshmallows. Perfect after a cold walk in Northumberland or for a sweet treat.

Lovely relaxed place with friendly service and the widest selection of teas I've seen in some considerable time. A selection of tasty cakes and scones meant that children were happy too!

If you enjoy tea then this is the place for you! This tea room has a huge selection of teas and it is made to perfection. Some really unusual blends, all excellent quality and perfectly timed to give the best brew. Whilst tea is the star of the show, there are also some lovely meals including soups, cakes and scones. Staff are friendly and welcoming, especially to children.

Visiting the area for a Xmas break and already been here twice in 3 days! Lovely cafe, specialising in teas from all over the world. A warm welcome from the staff, who are a credit to the place. The soups and scones are bloody lovely too. A great find, we'll be back again no doubt...
