"Fantastic family holiday."
Excellent location. Near the beach, seahouses and Bamburgh. Having the swimming pool on site was brilliant! Close to Dunstunburgh golf, another added bonus. The site is very well maintained. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

"Facilities were excellent - a beautiful place to say."
The only issue I had was the bottom bed sheet on my bed didn’t fit the mattress properly, which was a bit uncomfortable when it kept coming off the mattress.
Otherwise a fabulous place to stay

"Really warm and comfortable property."
Having the swimming pool on site was a great feature and would be fab for families especially if the weather was poor.
Hot tub was great and was ready for us to use when we arrived.
Kitchen was very well equipped.
Very comfortable beds and plenty of storage space.
Excellent location and ideally situated for exploring the local area.
There are recycling bins on site but it might be a good idea to have a box in the cottage for recycling.
Would definitely rebook.

"Well we were struck by Storm Arwen when we were away which meant 24 hours plus without power."
The owner kindly provided extra logs for the wood burner without charge and when they could, the contact members in the file at the cottage responded to our texts to let us know which shops were open, which roads were closed etc. This was the third stay for us at High Hemmel House and we are already booked up again for next year. Thank you

"Great location, close to a number of beautiful beaches."
Excellent facilities on site. Challenging golf courses nearby. Would recommend this site and the location, particularly for families with young children who want to build sandcastles and explore the coast. If you want sandy beaches but without the crowds this is the place to go!

"Had a lovely family holiday in Northumberland!"
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

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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

"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

"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.
