“Had a lovely family holiday in Northumberland!”

High Hemmel house is a great location for exploring the area!

High Hemmel house is a great location for exploring the area! The walk to the beach as stated was more like a 45 min hike and with 2 little ones very tricky certainly couldn't carry all your beach stuff there also but could sea the see from the cottage Hot tub was lovely as was the pool If you want a great family break in a beautiful location this is perfect but just take lots of extra bits with you as nothing provided

“Lovely cottage, spotless clean and everything we could have wished for.”

A great place for a catch up with our group of 6 of school friends, and we are all in our 40s now. Thank you

Mrs Mobberley November 2019

“Very disappointed in standard of bedding and towels.”

Bedding was bobbled it was so worn and towels very thin and tiny. Only tiny striped towels for hot tub. The carpet in the down stairs bedroom was stained. The cottage had been recommended to us and previous occupants had had fluffy towels and robes in the past. The times for check in and check out were very confusing one email said 3 pm check in and 10am checkout others said 4 pm and 11 am.... We tried to phone the numbers left in the book re the hot tub and times but none were ‘ available’ which is not good.No one came to see if we were ok throughout our stay ,we were left to work everything out.. We only had access to the pool for one hour each morning which was not in the booking details. Finally one of the cottages opposite us has their toilet right in the window . It is not pleasant sitting in your lounge seeing people very obviously at their ablutions! Given the price for the cottage which is supposed to be 4 to 5 star rating I was very disappointed.The cottage is beautifully laid out and in a perfect location and small details and personal touches would put it up to 4 star but in present condition I really couldn’t rate it above a 3.

“This is a fantastic cottage, the facilities are amazing, the people on site as very professional, Allan was brilliant and responded to our queries quickly and efficiently.”

The cleaners do a fantastic job too, the cleaning is out of this world, a full in depth clean, the company have a fantastic team on board.

Mr Johnson September 2019

“The cottage was excellent with wonderful views of the sea and a nice walk to the beach about 20 minutes walk to nearest or 35 minutes round the Golf course clubhouse and beach there.”

Cottage was clean, comfortable with very good facilities and Hot Tub. High Hemel House. Embleton is a nice village only minutes walk away with a local village shop Londis and a nice pub Greys Inn about 8 different beers including John Smiths and Theaksrons and a variety of local beers too. We had an excellent family break, village quiet but nice. Regards RJ

Mrs Whitehouse August 2019

“A wonderful location for a family holiday across three generations.”

Views spectacular, swimming pool great and a winner for the children was the hot tub. Our youngest grandchild managed to swim unaided during our week which was wonderful. The location of the cottage was great for exploring the area. Only down side was the weather but it did not take away from our enjoyment. We will definitely be returning to the area and these cottages in the future.

Mr Rhodes July 2019

“The views when we arrived were absolutely stunning .”

The cottage was everything we hoped for...clean spacious and very well equipped.

Mrs Hitchcock June 2019

“The cottage was so clean ( no horrible smells that you sometimes get with cottages !”

) Jacuzzi a treat and again really clean - even saw the maintenance guy cleaning it all out as we were leaving on the Friday ready for the next guests ) Swimming pool a bonus ( and again spotless )but think online booking would work better than having a slot allocated . Some parties did not use their allocated time and if booked online could cancel so others could book . Had a great time with our children and granddaughters / would certainly book again

“Always a great stay!”

I stayed here as one of 6 female friends; our 3rd visit. It is spotless and so comfortable; everything you need is provided, from dishwasher tablets to matches and logs for the log burner. Although we used the hot-tub, the new swimming pool was a welcome addition this year. The staff that we met were friendly and welcoming. The beach isnt far away for anyone to 'blow the cobwebs away' but staying in relaxing was also a hit! I can't recommend this enough - we've already booked again....... :)

Ms Cass March 2019

“This is our second holiday in the cottage and we’ve booked up for next year!”

It’s a beautiful cottage with everything you need to have a wonderful holiday. We are a group of 7 female friends and we all think it is perfect. The hot tub and swimming pools are luxurious extras which we love. It’s quiet & comfortable with beautiful surroundings.

Mrs Wilkinson December 2018

“High Hemmel House was exceptionally clean and warm.”

. It is a lovely property in a lovely spot with superb facilities. The hot tub and swimming pool were just wonderful, the bedrooms all were well appointed. We had a wonderful,Christmas - thank you.

Mrs Heath November 2018

“Brilliant facilities in a fabulous location.”

Ideal for couples or families. Every detail has been well thought out to make a memorable visit to this part of the country. We will definitely be back.

Mrs Raven-hill October 2018

“Wonderful location and it’s such a clean and spacious cottage.”

The cottages in general are great and the pool and the system used is wonderful. We have stayed now in two of the general cottages. This cottage is beautiful and spacious. I would personally just upgrade the bedding and beds. The upstairs bedroom in the joined room is not great. Also the quilts in general are thin and there are no spares That is my only developmental feedback. I would and will book this again in a heartbeat and highly recommend Both Sykes cottages in general and also the Embleton cottages. Thanks for a great week

- Mrs Raven-hill, October 2018
Mrs Bishop August 2018

“We were not expecting a swimming pool!”

Hot tub was a high quality. When we had a problem with the cooker response and repair excellent.

“Girls getaway”

We (6 women)stayed at this beautiful cottage for 3 Nights. Cottage is clean,spacious and is very well equipped. Decorated beautifully throughout. Lovely extras like good quality toiletries/bathrobes. We all enjoyed the hot tub. The owner is friendly and was available to answer any queries very quickly. Plenty of villages/pubs/walks nearby. We liked it that much, we have booked up again for next year.

“Fantastic”

Myself and several friends whom I went to school with met up here for the weekend. The weather was amazing so made full use Of the hot tub. Despite their being several cottage together we could not hear anyone else. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed, the owners had thought of everything. The layout of the cottage, the back yard and hot tub, grounds were perfect especially the park for a space hopper race on our way back from the pub! The staff were friendly and would definitely Recommend staying here and will be visiting again.

“First class accommodation”

Our partyconsisting of 2 grandparents,2parents and 2 teenage granddaughters have just returned from a week holidayat this extremelywell appointed property.The initial view on arrival was of a modern development with a very appealing outlook. On entering the quality was obvious the furnishings and fittings showed quality and taste.This first impression was carried throughout the whole house. A hot tub completed our satisfaction . The 2 grandchildren and grandad enjoyed the daily feeding the ducks. The village is close enough for basic shopping and newspapers. And the provision of WIFI kept the girls happy. The various pubs/restaurants were all close and were satisfying our various tastes. To sum up, execellent facility and we would hope to return.

Mrs Mullick August 2016

“Lovely cottage which was big enough for 8 adults and 2 children.”

One couple had to have the walk through room which didnt hother us at all but i can see why it would put some off. Lots of bathrooms which was a plus and the hot tub was a real highlight. The beach is a good 20 minutes walk away but well worth it as it is one of the prettiest in England. The only negative is the appaling wifi. It is shared between several cottages on site and if anyone else (in your cottage or otherwise) has so much as the wifi switched on nobody else can access it (even checking facebook on your phone was impossible). Other than that it was a fantastic stay.

“It was a great space for our family to come together and enjoy all that this beautiful area has to offer.”

“Get off the hamster wheel”

Beautiful, comfortable and well equipped accommodation. An isolated location but short walk to a lovely beach. Great base for exploring the area or walking. We did Alnwick, Seahouses and a day out to Holy Island. After a hard day sight seeing and walking, the options of inside with a blazing fire or outside in the hot tub! Loved it and highly likely to return.

- Helen H, March 2016
Mr Tweddle March 2016

“High Hemmel House was an absolutely fantastic property, for what we were seeking.”

We were a group of 4 couples looking to catch up and enjoy the Northumberland coast (and a few of the pubs!). The location of the property is perfect for such needs. Everything about the property was exactly what we wanted, and everyone commented on how great it was!

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.
