Rachael’s Rest, cosy comfortable home from home, a warm welcome awaits you.

Homely holiday let, well furnished comfortable home within walking distance of the seaside town of Amble.

Amble has a small fishing harbour where you can watch the catch of the day arriving. Pods form a small retail village selling a variety of art, crafts, jewellery, food and drinks, and a Sunday market.

Rachael’s Rest truly is a home away from home. It is relaxing, comfortable and well appointed with everything you need for a break. We were pleased to have the option of dining out or eating in depending on how we felt on the day. Very convenient with having a Morrisons store close by. We would definitely stay here again should we be in the area.

Restful Holiday
We use self-catering accommodation once or twice a year and this is one of the best we have stayed in. Bruce got in touch beforehand and was very helpful. There was a wonderful welcome pack awaiting our arrival and he checked via text while we were there. After leaving he kindly informed me of an item that was found and is sending it on. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay or better hosts.

A second stay at this property - so it must be good. Can't think of anything else we needed whilst staying there. So much to see and do within a couple of hours drive. I think we'll be back again as we still haven't seen everything.

Beautiful accomadation
Rachel’s Rest is such a comfy immaculately clean accomadation. We stayed 4 nights. It was home from home everything you need is at hand. Fully equipped kitchen comfy beds. Ten minute walk into amble where ther is restaurants cafes and pubs. The area where Rachel’s Rest is is really quiet and has a pretty back garden with table and chairs. The communication with the hosts Bruce and Maureen was excellent. So worth a visit and stay.

Lovely place to stay.
What a lovely base from which to explore the coast of Northumberland. Rachael's rest was scrupulously clean, modern and welcoming. The touches and treats added by Bruce and Maureen, the property owners were very much appreciated. It was also great to have a property with off-street parking. The property is situated within a ten minute walk into the small town of Amble as well as a quiet beach. We very much enjoyed sampling the delights of Amble. We would highly recommend The Fish Shack, La Famiglia, The Taj Mahal and Radcliffe's Cafe Bar.

Fabulous home
I’ve stayed in lots of holiday homes/ cottages and I have to say this house is amazing . It is so well equipped you really do not have to take anything with . Even the welcome pack is special .the hand bath towels are thick and new , the whole house is beautiful kept and if you get the sunshine the patio garden at the rear of the house is a real sun trap. Very easy to get into town a Morrison’s supermarket at the top of the road Just try it you won’t be disappointed 10/10
