“The only down side at our accommodation was the bed.”

You need to let people know it is low & it is not a substantial mattress. Not a problem for my wife & I but some people would struggle with the bed. Besides that a very good experience & the staff were very friendly. A great location if you want to get away from it all

“It was a lovely studio but not really suitable for taller people due to sloping ceiling!”

Quite a few head bangs! We found armchairs very uncomfortable!! Shame tv didn’t swivel to watch from bed! Friendly staff. Only managed one swim as times didn’t coincide with other things we were doing. Lovely pool.

“This accommodation was absolutely perfect for exploring Northumberland.”

The walk down to the beach with the perfectly situated picnic table for birdwatching and landscape gazing was idyllic. The apartment was fantastic, a great location, good car parking facilities and the swimming pool was a real bonus. The pub and shop within walking distance were ideal. Couldn't fault our stay. It would be worth adding to the listing that there's a microwave as we didn't realise and shopped for food accordingly. Even better if the television could have been on a tilting bracket so we could more easily watch in the bed.

“Lovely apartment ideal for 3 nights as space available was restrictive and therefore no room for comfy furniture, but all the basics were there and were as we expected from the description.”

We did find the accommodation too warm, even for October, and couldn't seem to cool it down even with the radiators turned off. First impressions were excellent, clean and uncluttered with a good sized bathroom. Ideal location too. We will definitely book again :-)

“Really comfy appartment, very clean and high spec, loved the place and would definitely stay here again !”

!! Enjoyed the 5 x 1 hour swimming slots in the pool as well !!

“The accommodation photographs were deceptive.”

The studio was much small than it appeared and sloping ceilings meant regularly bumping heads when using the bedside drawers and fridge. The 'easy chairs' tucked in under the sloping ceiling made watching the television uncomfortable. Bed comfortable but a waterproof mattress protector irritating. As was the strong smell of fabric conditioner. There was no oven or microwave. Cafetiere was for one person. The beach was more than the 400m away as stated in the description. The situation excellent. The bathroom and shower very good. The pool was wonderful. Maintenance service was efficient and friendly.

“Fantastic property, with amazing views and only a 30 minute stroll from the sea.”

Swimming pool was a real bonus. Accommodation was really excellent, but could have done with a microwave. It was a 400 mile drive from home to the property but well worth it. Lovely walk from the property to Craster for kippers. Would definitely stay at the property again.

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.
