Arkle House is a beautiful bungalow. Spotlessly clean, with everything anyone would need. The garden is private and enclosed, situated in a very quiet area. The beds are very comfortable too. The host provided a generous welcome pack for our arrival. This is the second time we've stayed at this property, and we will definitely be returning. The location is ideal for setting off to all the areas of interest that Northumberland has to offer. Just a short walk to Amble and the lovely harbour, with restaurants and little shops.

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!
