“This is our second time staying here, we and the dogs absolutely love the cottage and the outstanding coastal walking on your door step.”

Only a couple of niggles, for some reason there was no hot water the morning we vacated, the freezer needed defrosting , it was so iced up the door would not close. Had to borrow a corkscrew from next door (important utensil especially when on holiday

“Another wonderful weeks holiday in Ottoline Cottage.”

Perfect peaceful location and great for walks on the beach with our dog. Our only recommendation is to install an outdoor tap in the back garden to rinse sandy feet and paws before coming indoors. I spent ages clearing sand and hoovering during our stay.

“Fantastic holiday in thoughtfully presented cottage in fabulous location, ideally located down the road and through the dunes to beach and on circular walk/cycle path route.”

Investigation needed on the oil flue as fumes reentered the property through the shower room & bath room windows together with the back door when left open. Should we have had hot weather it would have been unbearable to have had these closed, whereas with the inclement weather we were only mildly inconvenienced.

“We really loved our stay.”

The cottage had everything we needed, and the views from all of the rooms were incredible. So calming to see and hear the sea! The beds were super comfy, and the blackout blinds were much appreciated when trying to get littlies to sleep. It was in a perfect spot with a 2 minute walk to a deserted beach, and a short drive to lots of other cool places. We will definitely be back! Our only issue was the pet hair. We know the cottage is pet friendly, but when playing on the floor with the little ones, we ended up with lots of pet hair on our clothes and their toys - I think perhaps it is hard to clean out of the rugs that are down? There was also hair on the furniture. It wouldn't stop us booking again, we really loved our stay, but I do think that something needs to be done about making sure the pet hair is properly cleaned. Perhaps changing the rugs and throws to ones that can be cleaned more easily?

“Brilliant cottage, we love Embleton bay so the location is perfect for us.”

Early morning dog walks with the sun rising behind Dunstanburgh castle were divine. The quality of everything in the cottage was extremely high which we appreciated. The bed was supremely comfy (we only used the master), the shower was hot and powerful, the towels were large and fluffy, the wood burning stove was large enough to heat up the room quickly. We didn’t cook much, as there are so many lovely places to eat nearby, but the kitchen was extremely well equipped and had everything you needed.. We loved Ottoline cottage and we will definitely book again, thank you.

“Ottoline Cottage is in a great location and is beautifully furnished and equipped.”

It’s obvious that a lot of thought has been given to the use of space. Couldn’t fault it. It’s just a shame that it’s already booked for the equivalent week next year or we would definitely have returned.

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.
