2 Sunny Brae

Sunny Brae is a pleasing single-storey cottage nestled in the village of Embleton in Northumberland. Perfect for couples or a solo traveller, this abode features two woodburning stoves, countryside views and is near Northumberland National Park and the beach. Park the car and take in the countryside views as you approach the front door. Step inside onto the beech flooring of the spacious sitting room with beams overhead. Throw a log onto the woodburning stove, set within a large rustic stone fireplace, then take a seat and flick on the TV for entertainment. There is a sofa placed to take in the views from the window, or read a book on the window seat, with the countryside fields as the backdrop. Pop any treats in the fridge/freezer, or microwave a snack after you load any laundry into the washing machine in the utility room. Head to the charming country-style kitchen/diner with terracotta tiles and original wooden walls, to whip up a romantic meal for two. Keep the chef company here and unwind on the sofa. Once dinner is served, gather around the table and tuck in. Freshen up in the shower room as the night draws to a close, then why not head outside to the summerhouse and admire the golden hues of sunset as you cuddle up next to woodburning stove. When it's time for bed, head back inside, then sink into the sheets of the double bed and rejuvenate for the night.

In the morning, sip a cup of something warm on the patio and let the serene landscape inspire the day ahead. This cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy the surrounding beauty. Head to Northumberland Coast National Landscape, feel the sand between your feet at one of the beaches, take in the stunning vistas along Northumberland Coast Path, walk along Craster Harbour, grab a bite to eat with fresh seafood nearby or take a swing at Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Course with stunning castle ruins as a backdrop. Or take a drive to Northumberland National Park to uncover the beauty of nature with moorland, sheep wandering, waterfalls and rolling hills. After a day of exploring, head back to Sunny Brae and unwind by the fire.
