The town is an 'appealing choice for those looking for a tranquil yet vibrant place to live', Garrington said.
The experts continued: "Known as “The Friendliest Port,” this small town boasts a strong sense of community and a welcoming atmosphere.
"The town offers a variety of amenities including local shops, restaurants, cafes, a health centre, and a primary and high school.
"Popular with bird watchers, Coquet Island is home to a colony of roseate tern, puffins, and other nesting sea birds. Being an important nature reserve, you cannot visit the island but can view the wildlife by boat as tours operate through the summer months.
"Other nearby attractions include Warkworth Castle and the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty."
Meanwhile, Visit Northumberland said 'whether you are looking for a fun day out to explore with your family or a relaxing trip for your retirement, Amble has so much to offer'.
Discover everything in the seaside town, from watersports, wildlife, cosy cafes and traditional pubs.
"Amble shops are perfect for finding that local Northumbrian gift to take home for a friend or a keepsake of your stay in Northumberland," Visit Northumberland added.
The Northumberland coast is just over 30 minutes away, close to some of the prettiest parts of the coastal path.
