    "Located in a peaceful spot."

    Quiet with ample parking and 15 minutes walk to the beach and two minutes to a beautiful wildlife reserve that we happed upon. Tasteful decor,spacious,well equipped and super comfy clean beds. Welcome pack gratefully received and handbook unfortunately for another cottage. Aga was oil fuelled and not electric and had the wrong manual instructions and was not on as stated. Immersion heater made the water temperature tepid. We could not shower or bathe comfortably. The bath was filthy and other areas. I contacted Sykes specifically and related that we did not want to leave negative comment as the positives outweighed the negative as we managed. Unfortunately we have not had a satisfactory response. A premium paid of £1127 for four days we did expect to be able to have hot water. If this is remedied we would recommend

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. We are pleased to hear you found East Farm Croft to be peaceful, comfortable and spacious and we really hope you had a lovely time. Thank you for bringing the error in the welcome folder to our attention, whilst the information was correct it did unfortunately include the incorrect name of the property, apologies for the confusion. We're very sorry to hear you had difficulty with both the hot water and getting through to Sykes, we are in discussions with Sykes regarding this as they manage our property. As soon as we became aware of the problem you had Sykes sent more maintenance people out and we're glad to say it now seems to have been resolved Property Owner

    "Lovely cottage very homely and well equipped."

    A little shelf in the downstairs shower would be nice for shower gel/shampoo. Will definitely come back.

    "The cottage is beautiful and loving area bright."

    We enjoyed cooking in the Arga, a new experience! It also kept the cottage lovely and warm. An enclosed area for the dog in the court yard, and ample space for two cars to be parked. 10 minute walk from the beach. Plenty of room for four people in the centre of the village. Good facilities. One little suggestion could a bath mat be provided for older people stepping into the bath. Would visit again.

    Thanks so much for the feedback and suggestion. Really glad you had a good stay. We look forward to you coming again!! Property Owner

    "We absolutely loved our time at the cottage."

    It was really clean and felt so cosy. Everything you needed was provided and there was a lovely welcome basket too. There was parking on the drive. Set in a quiet village, there is a lovely village shop and a couple of pubs. There was also a lovely golf club where you can get food and drink before a lovely walk on the beach.

    We're so glad you loved the cottage as much as we do and thank you for taking the time to write a review. We look forward to welcoming you back another time! Property Owner

    The property is very comfortable and well presented.The enclosed garden was ideal for our dogs. We would not hesitate in booking a return visit. We understand that the property has recently changed ownership and a visit by the owners to attend to some very minor maintenance issues would ensure that this property maintains a 5 star rating.

    We're so glad you enjoyed your visit to Embleton and found East Farm Croft comfortable and dog friendly. As new owners we are grateful for the time you've taken to give us your feedback and are always happy to receive suggestions for making it even nicer for our guests.

EMBLETON

Craster 3 miles; Beadnell 4 miles; Alnwick 7 miles.

The pretty village of Embleton is ideally placed for exploring one of the most attractive stretches of Northumberland's Heritage Coastline. A beautiful grassy path runs from the village to neighbouring Craster, alongside the sea and past Dunstanburgh Castle - the largest ruined castle in Northumberland. Embleton itself has a village pub and a local hotel, and there is an excellent range of amenities in nearby Alnwick. The gardens at nearby Howick Hall are open during the summer and are noted for their beauty, whilst Alnwick Castle and Garden are a 'must-see' when visiting the area. For the keen golfer, Dunstanburgh Links Course is about 1 mile away - just one of several excellent courses in the vicinity.
