"One of the best places we have ever stayed at for a week."
Everything you need is in the cottage and the added extra of a swimming pool works perfectly. So many walks right on your doorstep. Lovely xx
Thank you so much for your feedback. We really appreciate it and we are pleased that our Cottage brought everything you needed for your holiday. And we hope to see you back at North Farm soon Property Owner

"The cottage was fine for my needs, with a comfortable bed and excellent bathrooms."
My only small niggles are that there is nowhere in the main bedroom for unpacking non-hanging clothes, but I was able to use the 2nd bedroom as a wardrobe. The washing machine needed a good clean and there was no detergent supplied so I couldn't use it. The ceiling lighting is very harsh in the living room, but I managed by bringing the lamp in from the 2nd bedroom.
We appreciate your feedback. I will refer back to your suggestions regarding the light. And the wardrobe situation I will make sure that the washing machine has a good clean We do provide a starter pack in each cottage but we don’t provide any kind of laundry cleaning equipment due to allergies. We do hope that you would like to visit North Farm very soon Property Owner

"Stunning location, sea views from the cottage."
Grey Croft is very spacious and comfortable, well thought out design. Fields straight out the door were perfect for our dog. We loved having the swimming pool for private slots during our stay. Also great to stay in a holiday let that has showers with good water pressure and a dishwasher and washing machine. We will be back!
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are happy that you enjoyed your holiday at North Farm and we hope to see you back there very soon. The swimming pool is a favourite to a lot of our guests. Property Owner

"I always enjoy my holiday here and have never been disappointed"
Fantastic feedback, thank you so much Property Owner

"Lovely cottage in a wonderful location, everything that you need for a holiday break."
The only comment we would like to make re our stay was that the double bed was too soft for our liking, other than that every thing else was perfect.
Thank you very much For your feedback, I will make a note regarding the bed apologies we haven’t had any complaints in the past We would like to see you return to North Farm in the future Property Owner

"Lovely bungalow; wonderful views, clean and comfortable."
One or two suggestions, the bedrooms are lacking in wardrobe size and chest of draws for clothing, there was inadequate amount of oven cookware and the coat hooks sited in the hallway cupboard were not practical as wet coats would have dripped over the vacuum cleaner and ironing board. We enjoyed our week there and would love to return.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We appreciate it. I will make notes of the comments you said and look at the cookware as we haven’t had a complaint in the past that there wasn’t enough we hope to see you. Return to North Farm in the near future. Property Owner

"A stunning property to stay in."
Lovely walks directly from the cottage. Easy and secure stroll into embleton Also great location to explore the coast of Northumberland. Without a doubt our best stay since visiting this lovely part of our country.
-
"Lovely cottage."
The location is superb, views of the sea, great walk to the nearest beach, perfect for spotting wildlife. Can’t wait to return!
-
"The rooms need somewhere to put small items, I was in the twin room and there was no where, the chair in there was pointless, a small chest of draws would be perfect."
A swimming costume spinner in the changing room to take out the excess water would be good, apart from that it was lovely
-
"Sadly I had major difficulties getting out of the pool my my mobility has obviously reduced since my last time swimming but the pool was wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed my oned visit."
I did not dare try again. The property was wonderful especially the log fire but the things you left for us were of no use due to food allergies, lactose intolerance, but the thought was appreciated.
-
"Amazing cottage right on the coast."
Lovely walk down to the beach. Right on coastal path. Lovely swimming pool a huge bonus. Can’t wait to come again.

"3rd year staying and last 2 stays perfect."
This time we had 2 power cuts leaving us completely in the dark (literally) from 17.00 until 09.10 next day. With 1 child aged 2 years who was hysterical and scared and cold no visit from management came. Food in freezer was thrown out and also partially cooked dinner that was being prepared. 2nd power cut was shorter and still no visit from the owners who live on site. Outside power box had no front cover and dangerous. Toaster was only working if an adult held down the sides. Very disappointing holiday and more expensive than we planned due to having to stock up freezer again
-
"Very good quality accommodation in a great location ."
View of the coast and Dunstanburgh Castle. A short walk to the beach and the village. From a personal perspective I loved the onsite pool as am a keen swimmer, it was immaculate a decent size and beautiful views Welcome pack and dog treats greatly appreciated. We loved it and have already booked again.
-
"The house in great condition."
The bedrooms were small and lacked storage. The kitchen need more cutlery and crockery etc to make use if the dishwasher. Kitchen utensils/knives and forks are too weak and not strong enough. Great fire. Proximity to coast fantastic. Arriving in the dark there is insufficient lighting and parking near the house. Swimming pool a great addition to the property and was well used. A great holiday. Thanks.
-
"Lovely cottage with spacious rooms and amazing shower facilities."
Comfortable beds and good storage. Once furnishings too
Thank you for your kind comments, I'm glad you had a relaxing time with us. Property Owner
-
"A great place to stay."
Cosy and comfortable with fantastic views. Very spacious. The wood burner is a great asset and was prepared for us for our first night. We appreciated the food starter pack too. And the extras for our dog were good. Enjoyed several swims in the private pool which was very clean and warm. Very happy and will return.
-
"Lovely property."
Good location and central for many tourist attractions. It was a nice touch to have tea, milk, bread and butter etc for when we arrived. All our needs catered for.
-
"Really enjoyable holiday, excellent accommodation, superb pool, fantastic views, amazing walks, close to local amenities, friendly helpful staff."
Thoroughly Recommend
-
"Fabulous place, will definitely book another stay."
Beautifully maintained and comfortable, warm and cozy. I really appreciated the the provisions that were waiting for me after my long drive, milk, juice, bread, butter, tea and coffee, even some biscuits to go with the coffee. I booked on the spur of the moment as a break from a hectic home life it and fulfilled all my expectations. The local area is stunning with plenty to do like coast walks, beaches, castles, historic towns, harbours, boat trips not to mention the hills and moorland. I didn't use the pool as I forgot to bring my swimsuit! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and left feeling reset and energised.

"Excellent accommodation"
-
"Probably one of the best cottages we have stayed at."
The owners had thought of everything. The location for exploring the coast and for walking was great. Would have no hesitation in recommending the property to anyone.
Thanks for your feed back Property Owner

"The cottage is fantastic and being limited mobility very easy to get around,the holiday was great and we have booked again for September."
Thank you to you all .highly recommend beautiful views and very clean. We have been going to north farm for many years
-
"We have been visiting North Farm for 15 years now, on our own and with friends."
We have stayed in four of the houses on North Farm and they are all of a consistent quality, all perfectly presented. The pool is a huge plus and we always use it.
-
"Thank you for our stay - we really enjoyed it."
Our little boy loved the pool and the pond on site. We really liked that the pool was exclusive use and you could choose a time slot that suited. Facilities were great - location perfect. We’d love to come back - only a few things that could do with changing… a new washing machine is definitely needed - or a really good clean it was unusable! It would also be really useful to have some shelves in the bedrooms and bathrooms for storage when unpacking. I also think a couple more lamps in the living area would be nicer so the evenings feel cosier rather than having to have the really bright overhead lights on. Overall a brilliant stay!!!!
-
"Beautiful area, very comfortable and well appointed cottage."
We had a lovely and re-energising holiday and the swimming pool was great addition to holiday activities.
-

"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.
-
"Fantastic cottage in beautiful surtoundings."
-
"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.
-
"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.

Stunning location, well equipped cottage and great space to spend time as a family and base to explore the lovely Northumberland
-
"Beautiful place for the whole family"
-
"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!
-
"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.
-
"A wonderful relaxing location."
It couldn't have been more perfect. We were extremely lucky with the weather, it was sunshine all week.
-
"Cottage clean and beautifully equipped."
Scenery superb. However walk to beach longer than indicated, and swimming pool still under construction.
-
"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.
-
"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.
-
"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.
-
"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.

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 relax 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.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
Where you’ll be staying
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.
