August 2020

“Gorgeous cottage with amazing views.”

The beach is a lovely short walk away. One of the nicest beaches in England. We loved every minute of this holiday.

Mr Edwards August 2019

“Grey Croft is a modern, comfortable and cosy cottage which is very well located a short walk from Embleton.”

We would be happy to stay there again.

Mrs Flitcroft August 2019

“The accommodation was brilliant well equipped and bright.”

The access to the pool was great as it was for our sole use at times. Although the Cottages were all full you did not feel overwhelmed by people. The playground was a welcome addition for the youngest member of the party.

“Beautiful place for the whole family”

- Mr Minchin, March 2019
Mr Rogers August 2018

“We had a really lovely holiday in this beautiful cottage but would point out that the beach is more than a ten minute walk away (at least 20 minutes and probably longer with small children), and the swimming pool was only available to us on 3 days out of the seven with an allocated time slot of one and a half hours.”

Also, the double bed was extremely firm, not 'soft' as stated in your description!

- Mr Rogers, August 2018
Mr Banton June 2018

“Cottage clean and beautifully equipped.”

Scenery superb. However walk to beach longer than indicated, and swimming pool still under construction.

- Mr Banton, June 2018
Mrs Dunn June 2018

“A wonderful relaxing location.”

It couldn't have been more perfect. We were extremely lucky with the weather, it was sunshine all week.

- Mrs Dunn, June 2018
Mr Barron June 2018

“Had a brilliant time in an excellent cottage.”

Weather was out of this world. Beach was excellent. Overall had a really enjoyable time. Could not be bettered anywhere in the world.

- Mr Barron, June 2018

“But DVD player only worked occasionally, the disc would not load.”

No potato peeler, cheese grater, cutlery drainer. No soap dish in shower. Cheap kitchen equipment.

- Dr Smith, April 2018
Ms Macdonald February 2017

“Cottage extremely well appointed and comfortable.”

Good walking close by and many interesting places to visit and fantastic beaches in all directions. A delightful short break in a great part of the country.

- Ms Macdonald, February 2017
Mrs Charrier August 2016

“The holiday house was perfect.”

The owners had thought of everything. The location was beautiful and the sun rises were amazing! The kids play area opposite was brilliant, allowing the kids to play whilst we could see them from the house. If you are planning a working holiday and need wifi it will drive you around the bend but I think it's a Northumbrian wide problem not just at the cottage! The beach is about a 20-30 minute from the house.

- Mrs Charrier, August 2016
Mrs Reay August 2016

“Grey Croft was a lovely, first class cottage set in beautiful surroundings.”

A holiday for all the family of all ages- something for everyone. Thoroughly recommend this holiday cottage and we will definitely be re- booking in the future.

- Mrs Reay, August 2016
Mrs Holmes June 2016

“This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location.”

It has a light filled living area with four windows all with wonderful views of the sea! There is a very high standard in both bathrooms and nice outside space.

- Mrs Holmes, June 2016
Mrs Teasdale April 2016

“We had an excellent holiday despite the bad weather, we would come back and would highly recommend this property.”

We could not fault it. Thank you.

North Farm Cottages

A group of tastefully decorated, luxury cottages with panoramic views towards Embleton Bay. Each cottage at North Farm has been individually styled with great attention to detail; with dining tables for those celebratory meals, sleek kitchens and large living areas to accommodate you and your loved ones, spacious bedrooms with soft beds and bathroom facilities, all of which help to provide a superb base for touring this beautiful county. Relax on the peaceful patio area or perhaps enjoy a dip in the newly-built swimming pool. North Farm was once a busy working farm and is still surrounded by lush green fields. A safe, gently sloping farm track leads from the farm down to stunning Embleton Bay, with little extras along the way to make the walk more exciting. Guests can say hello to the three deer, stop off at the old pill box for a rest or book out the owner’s hut on the beach and spend the day making sandcastles and paddling. From the beach, turn left and take a stroll to the Ship at Low Newton, famous for its microbrewery and scrumptious food, or for a more ambitious walk, turn right and take in Dunstanburgh Castle. Head to Craster, where you can sample the delights of a crab sandwich in the Jolly Fisherman, or pick up some kippers from Robson's famous smokery. There is so much to see and do in Northumberland, with Alnwick Castle and Gardens, Holy Island, Bamburgh, Warkworth and Berwick all within easy reach. These delightful cottages are perfect for a beachside Northumberland break.

About the location

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.
