  • "This is a lovely house in a quiet rural location only 10 minutes drive from the fantastic Embleton Bay."

    10 minutes in the other direction is Alnwick. It is an excellent base for exploring the Northumberland coast. The house is extremely well equipped, everything you could possibly think of is provided and is in excellent condition and everywhere is spotlessly clean. Large comfy sofas for lounging about, a big kitchen and dining area and a seperate snug all make for a very comfortable break. Our dog enjoyed the fully enclosed rear garden. Our hosts were very accommodating and helpful and left us a tasty welcome pack. We will definitely go back to Cushat House next time we visit Northumberland.

  • "This is a beautiful cottage, which is exceptionally well maintained."

    We felt at home immediately and were extremely comfortable throughout our stay. There were numerous personal touches, including in the furnishings, garden, artwork, rainy-day activities, and the selection of welcome treats (which were a lovely surprise). Good communication was provided by the owners both with emails and with helpful information at the cottage. We would certainly stay here again.

    We were greeted with a lovely welcome pack and a superb home made cake. Delicious! The provision of some coffee pods was really hugely appreciated. The house was pristine and we were able to relax and explore immediately. We loved the provision of throws for any dog who wanted a sofa cuddle too... so very well thought out. The beaches in the area are amazing( best dog walks!) so we will be back to explore further !! Thank you !

    Comfortable, warm, welcoming, garden great for the dogs (safe and secure), and a fabulous welcome pack. One of the best equipped houses we have been in.

    And in the main bedroom my daughter could hear every sneeze and cough from the adjoining property. I draw attention to these points in a constructive way as I could not fault Cushat House in any other way. The bedding was the most clean and fragrant I have ever encountered. Cleanliness is evident throughout and the property is tastefully decorated and well equipped. I would definitely recommend this lovely holiday house.

    Cushat House is a beautiful property in a great location, perfect for exploring Northumberland. It has a lovely dog friendly landscaped garden and the interior is fitted to a high standard and very comfortable. The only negative comment would be the floorboards on the stairs and landing area which were quite noisy and a little annoying! That said we will be booking again!

    You’ll find all you need for your stay here, including a few items not listed such as hairdryer, iron, vacuum cleaner. The property is very clean and comfortable, slept well in the comfortable bed, the only slight downside was the sofa in the television room which was a little low, the chairs are a great alternative however and there is so much space and choice of areas to relax in. The gardens are beautiful and dog friendly. The location of Cushat House could not be better, a lovely quiet hamlet with your own private parking area and just a short drive to so many beautiful beaches and castles. Friendly and helpful owners with easy and informative communication from both the owners and Sykes.

    The hosts Lesley and Terry have provided a beautiful house in a delightful location 10 minutes drive from the stunning Embleton bay and a gentle 15 minute walk from the nearest pub. The furnishings and facilities provided are all of high quality. There is everything you need and nothing that you don't need ; there are even items provided that you didn't know you needed (luggage mats in the bedroom, foot stool in the lounge...). Enclosed well maintained gardens mean pooches or indeed children are safe to play outdoors in this quiet picturesque setting. A short drive leads you to the jaw-dropping St. Aidens beach at Seahouses or the quaint village of Alnmouth for a multitude of tasteful eateries. As for golfers, make sure your clubs are the first thing packed in the car boot as you will be spoilt for choice and value. We will without doubt be back!

  • "What a wonderful find Cushat House was!"

    The level of thought and attention to detail that Lesley & Terry have put into the place is a real credit to them. Managing to blend relaxing homely comfort with boutique hotel touches gives an added feeling of luxury, which, when staying in a dog friendly accommodation is often sadly missing! Their thoughtfulness is outstanding, from the fabulous welcome hamper, (the likes of which we have never experienced before, was on another level) to providing absolutely everything you would need and more for a perfect holiday! We shall most definitely return, as it is also perfectly located to explore so much of wonderful Northumberland! Thank you both so much for such an amazing stay!

The property

5.2 miles North of Alnwick, 2.8 miles South of Embleton.

Cushat House is a remarkable semi-detached cottage resting in a quiet position from which to explore the many wonders of Northumberland.

In easy reach of the coast with the Northumberland National Park just a scenic drive away, this stylish stone-built abode is perfect for families of five seeking either an action-packed escape or simply taking time out to enjoy the extensive beaches and counryside.

To the front of the property you will find impressive manicured gardens, while stepping through the front door will bring you to even more splendour styled to make you feel at home; enter the beautifully presented sitting room where you can find the Smart TV, a lovely spot to wind down in the evening, while under the archway you can find the bright and airy open-plan kitchen-diner, a wonderful area to gather to spend quality time with your loved ones, whether you're assisting the chef in the amply-equipped kitchen, or gathered at the table tucking into a lovingly-prepared meal, Cushat House is the perfect place to create everlasting memories with your loved ones.

The snug is where you can spend a quiet moment to yourself away from the excitement of the group, boasting a calmly styled interior, there's no better spot to wind down with a good book.

Moving from the kitchen-diner through the lounge,, passing the convenient cloakroom, to find lovely artwork designed by the owner lining the walls, up the stairs to the landing bringing you to the three bedrooms of two doubles both with beautiful feature wallpaper and a single room, perfect for a little one, with the spacious travertine family bathroom: you can choose from a relaxing soak or a quick rinse in the shower to start your day.

Spend moments together within the beautiful rear garden, with plenty of space for your family or canine companions to play, here you can enjoy alfresco dining when you're not indulging in the delicious eateries nearby.

Stamford makes a wonderful base for those seeking an idyllic location with easy access to the surrounding excitement of Northumberland; visit Rennington to find the welcoming family-owned pub The Horseshoe Inn where you can indulge in a hearty pub lunch whilst basking in the beer garden, or make your way to the village of Embleton to find even more eateries as well as a local shop for picking up your own essentials.

Embleton benefits from a grassy path which runs all the way from the village to nearby Craster, passing the wonder of Dunstanburgh Castle, the largest ruined castle in Northumberland, leading you to a beautiful beach lined with seafood restaurants, famed as being the home of the Kipper, it's a must visit for the foodie.

Go wildlife watching at the Arnold Memorial Nature Reserve, with a plethora of birdlife found here, or visit historic Alnwick with its impressive castle, unique poison gardens and wonderful shopping experiences.

The Northumberland's Heritage Coastline is well-worth exploring for some of the most scenic spots in the area, while a trip into the National Park promises all kinds of outdoor adventure with opportunities for walking, cycling, horse riding, fishing, stargazing and so much more.

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.
