Welcome

Breakwater is a beautiful,calm and tranquil apartment decorated with warm, coastal colours. The view is spectacular, looking over the Amble marina and out to the North Sea, over the Warkworth beach dunes and down the Coquet Estuary to Warkworth Castle – a sea view in Northumberland is hard to beat!

There are walks just yards from your door through the Marina to the picnic area and grassy Amble Braid or along the harbour-front.  It’s lovely to watch the fishing boats return with their catch daily and the yachts sailing in and out of the harbour.

Breakwater has been awarded 5 stars by Visit England.
