"An excellent warm, quiet and comfortable bungalow, which, to be honest, we could not fault."
The kitchen was very well equipped with utensils and crockery as if the owners expect visitors to cook at home regularly rather than eating out. The air flow heat pump surprised us by how efficient it was and whilst taking a little longer to heat up than a conventional system , achieved a comfortable heat throughout.
There was good information about local places of interest, restaurants and services as well as about the household appliances.
We would definitely think about returning next time we go back to Embleton.

The owners where so helpful and had thought of every extra we could have needed. The welcome pack was much appreciated and we found the house spotlessly clean and tidy. The location is ideal, peaceful and quiet yet only a stroll away from the pubs, shops and bus stop. All in all a lovely home and we would love to return.

"This must be the best holiday home we've ever stayed in, and we've stayed in some very nice ones."
It was like walking into a new home, spotlessly clean, superbly and comfortably furnished and equipped, bright and spacious and a pleasure to be in. The owners have given so much attention to small details, too. Maps and guide books, games and books, toiletries, everything you could need in the kitchen, large barbecue in the garden, children's beach toys etc etc.
Embleton is a lovely little village to stay in, and just a short, easy walk - about 20 minutes - from the bungalow to Embleton Beach - a fantastic, scenic and sandy beach. There is a friendly local pub, and it's a great base for exploring other places, too.
This is a great place to holiday in, lots to do and see, and we shall certainly return to The Haven!

Excellent location, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. We had a wonderful welcome pack on arrival tailored to our party. The owners have thought of everything. It was a real home from home. The cottage is a short stroll from the village and then on from there to the beach. It’s in a central location for visiting all the beautiful places along the Northumberland coastline. We will definitely be back!

"The Haven is in a great location for exploring the Northumbria coast."
The village is quiet but has a hotel and 2 other pubs, a village shop and post office. The accommodation is modern, extremely clean very comfortable and well equipped. There is also a patio with furniture if you are staying in the warmer weather, however we were not lucky enough to enjoy this time. But we will definitely be looking to book this property again as we were very impressed with it overall. A nice touch with the welcome basket which was appreciated.

! It’s our second visit and it was as lovely, clean and bright as we remembered. We stayed for 2 weeks and it’s the perfect base in beautiful Embleton. Thoughtful welcome basket, well equipped kitchen, nice and clean bedrooms and in these strange Covid-19 times we were extra pleased to see hand gel, antiseptic sprays etc available in the house, we felt really well looked after.
We’re 2 adults and 3 kids and highly recommend the Haven.

"One of the best bungalows we have being to as soon as you enter the front door you can see how well the lay out is easy walk to the pub and shop hope to return and have a longer holiday only one thing we found that was the heating either it was on or off that's what we thought."
Thank you for your feedback. As a result of your comments about the heating we checked the settings on the heating and found that they had, unbeknown to us, been altered somehow. As you pointed out the heating would have appeared to have been on or off, as the morning settings had been turned off and the afternoon/ evening temperature was set very high.
We have now reset the time and temperature settings and would not expect further problems.
We would like to inform guests that if they have any problems whilst staying at The Haven we are happy for them to contact us on the emergency contact details in the information folder and we will then have the opportunity to rectify the problem at the time. Property Owner

"The accommodation was perfect for us."
We wanted a property that could accommodate our family, and it did that in style and comfort. Three good size bedrooms, the main having its own en-suite and the lounge was big enough for all of us to be able to relax in the evening while watching television .
The property was in a great spot in a lovely little village with a homely local pub and also a very nice hotel with a bar and a great menu - fish and chips highly recommended.
The location also really convenient for visiting a number of the castles and towns.
If we go back to this part of Northumberland in the future we would definitely choose this property again.

"The Haven is an excellent, modern, well equipped property, extremely comfortable and spacious and located about 5 minutes walk from the centre of Embleton village."
The owner helpfully contacted us before our stay to enquire about any special requirements, including for our 15 month old grandchild and thoughtfully provided a new toy for him on our arrival. The lovely welcome pack was very much appreciated and showed the owner’s attention to detail.
The use of the secure garage space was also useful for storing the pram, road bike etc. and the level, open space in the property and garden allowed our grandson to explore and practise his new walking skills in a very safe environment. And the sun shone all week. We had a wonderful time and will be visiting again.

"This has to be absolutely one of the best Northumbrian holiday homes we have stayed in: just a joy with everything thought of, extremely comfortable and exceedingly clean."
The Haven is very well positioned in the charming village of Embleton and close to the lovely coastal route with Warkworth, Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh castles nearby. Glorious beaches, quiet roads, numerous great eating places abound. However, if you prefer more ‘biz’ then Seahouses beckons with its amusement arcades, fish & chip shops and trips to the Farne Islands for bird & seal watching.
Many National Trust properties to visit, should the weather be inclement and Morpeth and Newcastle close-by for retail therapy.
The Haven is well-named and with three bedrooms and en-suite + family bathroom very suitable for parties of six, or equally good just for two. Can’t wait to return.

"The Haven is so aptly named."
The interior of the bungalow has real ‘wow’ factor - the decor and furnishings are of a very high standard and there is everything there for your comfort. It is so well equipped. The welcome in the information folder and the welcome pack of goodies made us feel immediately that the owners really wanted us to enjoy our break. The bungalow is in a great spot and is easy access to Alnwick, Craster and other lovely coastal spots. The village has a good hotel, five minutes up the road, that serves nice food if you don’t want to eat in or drive out to eat. The break was enhanced by observing a little owl that had taken up residence on a neighbouring roof - our own Autumn Watch. I would highly recommend this property.
