Parrot Cottage

'Our accomodation has been first class, Mrs Gray was on hand with any problem we may have had. We cannot recommend this cottage any higher, it was home from home.'                                             Margaret and Bob Nichols, June 2007.

'We were given a lovely welcome when we arrived here at our cottage in Northumberland. The property has housed everything we have needed for a comfortable holiday and more. We really appreciate your kindness in ensuring safe storage for our bikes, and for the OS maps which have been invaluable during our stay.'

The Cross family, August 2007.

'Parrot Cottage was lovely and had absolutely everything that we could have wanted to make our stay memorable. The boys especially loved the fact that they could go fishing on the pier using fishing rods from the fishing shop up the road. Would recommend to our friends and family for future stays.'

Kevin, Tom and Andy Hume, August 2007

'What a fabulous place Amble is - and so much to explore from here. We have loved all the sandy beaches, castles and open spaces. The weather too has been amazing for this time of year. Parrot Cottage is beautifully arranged - everything we needed was here - and lots of lovely "touches" we appreciated. We too enjoyed all the seascape pictures on the walls (and the cross-stitch). Thank you for such a comfortable and homely cottage. We hope to return!                                Giles, Sarah, Beth and Jonny Higgins February 2008.
