She said: “As a gateway to the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Amble is a great base for holidaymakers to explore this region’s beauty and wildlife.

The list says: ‘Sitting pretty on the coast of Northumberland, Amble is a popular holiday destination with a fascinating history and makes for an intriguing, and affordable, winter break.

‘The town and surrounding area have been inhabited since ancient times and there is evidence of Roman occupation here.

‘Being almost completely surrounded by water, some of Amble’s major attractions include sailing and fishing.

‘However, if the British winter weather isn’t too great, Amble still has plenty of indoor activities to offer for a relaxing break. Warkworth, Morpeth and Alnwick are all worth a visit, too.’

Clacton-on-Sea came out on top, with an average weekly rate of £281, while others on the list included Great Yarmouth (£304); Dumfries and Galloway (£415); and Weston-super-Mare (£419).
