Barmoor

Conveniently located cottage in a peaceful and private road.

We had a few niggles but on the whole enjoyed our stay at Barmoor. The garden is a lovely space to sit and enjoy your morning coffee or an evening drink or barbecue. Although the house had everything we needed we didn't find it cosy or comfortable, particularly the sofas. On the whole though a pleasant stay and we loved Embleton.

We found the accommodation was ideally located within the village, very comfortable and spacious, met all our needs.

Would certainly use this property again and would recommend it to others.

Had a lovely stay at Barmore , fantastic location, great local amenities .

The house itself was fine just odd little things , Ie - shower try didn’t drain properly, some of the kitchen utensils need updating , not enough hot water in morning.

The house is a real home from home with everything you could want for a lovely holiday.

We had a wonderful time.

Barmoor is in a quiet village near the sea.

Clean, well equipped with all we needed for our stay. Safe garden for our two dogs should the weather keep us indoors. Bed very comfy with decent pillows, not flat hard things like we've come across in the past. The towels were soft too. Loved it so much we booked again for next year

Thoroughly recommend Barmoor.

Well equipped, comfortable and peaceful location. Genuinely enclosed secure garden great for dogs and sitting out. Embleton is a great base for long and short coastal walks. Useful village shop selling local supplies and a couple of handy pubs/hotel bar within a minute's gentle stroll. Lovely spot altogether.

We stayed at Barmoor in the last week of February.

We were very lucky with the weather and had a lovely week this beautiful part of the country. The house is in a great location for walking the coast. Dog friendly with a secure garden for our two retrievers. 2 dog friendly pubs and hotel within a very short walk away and the great beach is about a 10-15 minute walk and is also dog friendly as are most of the beaches along this stretch of the coast. The house was lovely and warm with everything you could need. If I’m being very picky it could do with a little bit of updating and although clean some areas could have had a bit more attention given to them but overall a lovely house and would stay again.

Unfortunately we didn't have a very comfortable week, we found the sofas in the lounge very uncomfortable, we felt like we were being pushed forward rather than sitting back comfortably.

The heating was mostly lovely but the small bedroom was extremely hot, the rad seemed to be raging hot all the time so we had to turn it off then it was too cold - we had a baby in the room so it was a difficult situation. The shower was very erratic and hard to turn down the heat, it seemed scalding hot or lukewarm. The bathroom was freezing cold even when the radiator was on all the time. Its a shame as we paid a lot to stay there and felt it wasn't as good as several other places we have recently booked and stayed in with Sykes in Northumberland. We also saw a cute little mouse run out from under the fridge (these things cant be helped in the countryside but maybe worth letting the landlord know). That said, it is in a lovely location, the beach nearby, the little shop had everything and the pubs were amazing including the free parking at the golf club and coffee in the clubhouse after our walks.

A beautiful place to stay.

Barmoor is in the lovely village of Embleton and a short walk to a wonderful beach. The house is very well equipped with all you need to make your holiday special. It’s comfortable in all respects and all rooms are all a great size. The garden is secure so good for dogs. Definitely a place to return to as soon as much to see and do.

Barmoor - Embleton Lovely cottage in a great location within walking distance of our favourite beach, Embleton Bay.

Barmoor is a clean, spacious and comfortable property and has one of the best equipped kitchens we’ve stayed in. Christmas decorations were a nice touch for the festive period. However, we were disappointed with the heating and hot water systems - although the house was warm on arrival there was no heating or hot water after 8pm on our first night. It would be helpful to provide instructions on how to override the settings rather than requesting guests NOT to touch controls, this is common in other holiday lets in the area. We reported the hot water issue to the letting company, they responded promptly but just altered the settings and advised the hot water should be set to ‘constant’. This improved the situation slightly but the system still seemed to struggle to cope with the demand of 3 adults bathing/showering in the evening, particularly when the heating was still on. We have not experienced these issues before despite staying in properties with oil or electric heating systems. Although we still enjoyed our week at Barmoor it was disappointing to have this issue given the price paid.

A very well equipped cozy cottage.

We took logs for the log burner bit didn't need to use it as it was so nice and warm. An ideal base to explore the lovely coast.

Very clean, smelt lovely when we walked through the door.

Plenty of utensils and other equipment to use. Beds and furniture good. Great location, a few minutes walk from the local shops, pub and hotel. 10 minute walk to the nearest beach centrally located for explring the Northumberland coast. Secure garden for our dog.

Lovely cottage in the perfect location to explore the NE coastline.

As we have a dog, most holidays are in similar cottages and this is definitely the best equipped one we’ve stayed in. Everything you could need in the kitchen, enough dishwasher tablets for the week plenty of hangars and storage space to make it home from home and lots of little extras like a hot water bottle and games and jigsaws for when the weather is less than optimal. Good shower and nice to have the bath option. Can’t vouch for heating as we didn’t need it! The sofas are lower than I’d choose but comfy otherwise and fine for a week. Whole house very spacious. The secure garden was great for the dog and nice to sit in after a run down to the beach. The shop/ deli is well stocked and open 8-5 most days for essentials as well as treats. The hotel/ pub does very good food and the coffee down at the golf club was a nice stop. Quiet beach (compared to Devon!) and lovely walks to Craster for lunch and the other direction to the Ship Inn. Lots of convenient walks for the dog round the village including the little nature reserve. Very cheap fuel at the garage too! Easy visits to Bamburgh, Lindisfarne and Hadrian’s wall. We had originally planned to stay in Seahouses but very glad we found Barmoor instead. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic property great location

A very comfy, clean cottage in a quiet area.

Kitchen well equipped, comfortable bed, lovely decor everywhere. Safe garden for our 2 dogs which is always a 'must ' for us.

Overall we had a lovely stay at Barmoor, it’s situated in a picturesque village and is very quiet and peaceful, just what we wanted.

Facilities for our dog were very good with the enclosed garden and nearby walks. The accommodation is very well equipped but the only problem we had was the DVD player didn’t work in that there was no connection cable to the TV, the only cable was the power cable, so we couldn’t use this facility which was a shame as we had brought our own DVDs to watch. (We seem to be jinxed re Sykes Cottages with DVD players, this is the third one whereby we couldn’t use it, the last two players were advertised but were not in the property) We would definitely stay at Barmoor again if we were in that area of Northumberland. It has a lovely beach well within walking distance and is a good base for the surrounding areas attractions.

A lovely spacious property, located close to the beautiful Embleton bay.

Just a totter to the fantastic Grey's Inn and a short beach walk to the Ship Inn.

Third time at Barmoor.

Lovely cottage and very homely. There are some great walks directly from the cottage. One (very small) comment about comfort is that the sofas are very low but this is just our preference. Ideal size for four adults. Sadly no dog with us this holiday but it’s also ideal for a dog.

Great place to stay.

Central for many coastal walks. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay at Barmoor.

The cottage was lovely, clean, relaxing, the decor and furnishings were very nice, a home from home. Will book again.

Loved staying at Barmoor.

Embleton is a beautiful village. The cottage was very, very clean and toasty warm on arrival. It provided everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and it was great to have the secure garden. We really did enjoy our stay here and hope to return next September :0)

Cottage was good.

Positives- All amenities working and in good order. Bed comfy and furniture comfy. Plenty of towels etc. Plenty of crockery and utensils. Location great, tucked down little used road in village. Enclosed garden for dog. Greys Inn in village was great for food and drink. Beach half a mile walk. Lovely walks to Craster and Low Newton along beach. Beautiful area. Some negatives No ‘welcome pack’, not even a pint of milk. Disappointed for price paid as did not seem very welcoming. However other things such as toilet rolls, dishwasher tabs and washing up liquid provided. Garden lawn was full of dog waste, appreciate this is from previous guests who should have sorted, but owner should have checked. Lid on kitchen bin not “popping” up so had to wrangle with bin each time to open. Needs pedal bin so don’t have to touch. Kettle needs descale or replacement. TV is very small in today’s standards. Overall we had a good stay and would come again

Perfect stay in this wonderful cottage… everything you could possibly need …clean & very comfortable … obviously put a lot of care & love into it which was very much appreciated

Our second time at Barmoor and it's still such a lovely property, ideally situated to explore the lovely village and beach.

We enjoyed some beautiful weather and had the opportunity to enjoy some time on the gorgeous beaches at Embleton, Alnmouth and Beadnell. Strong recommendation for Embers woodfired pizza, absolutely delicious! The only minor quibble would be the lack of oven gloves at the cottage.

Great property is a great location to explore Northumberland we liked it so much we have booked for next year already.

Very conveniently located at the coast with Alnwik and Berwik near by.

One hotel/restaurant, a farm shop and two pubs in walking distance. We (two persons!) enjoyed the stay and didn't miss anything.

Very clean on arrival, garden secure for dogs.

Liked watching the birds. There were very clear instructions not to touch the boiler settings, but we would have liked to turn the heating off as it the weather was warm. We turned down the thermostats on the radiators we could but the hall radiators were still hot and made the house uncomfortably warm so we had to open the windows. We tried to adjust using the thermostat in the living room but it made no difference. Instructions on how to turn the heating off would be good. With entry after 4pm and the only shop in the village shutting at 5 it would be good to get a welcome pack, even just milk and bread. A barbecue would also be good. Sorry we forgot to empty the bins, and I meant to write in the maintenance log that the vacuum cleaner bag needs emptied. The maintenance log is a great idea, I've not seen that in any other properties I've stayed in. Great location, lovely house, we would stay again.

barmoor was a really nice cottage we would recommend it every time and the location was excellent a n ideal place for walking and touring thankyou from both of us a really enjoyable stay robin

A lovely home from home in a most beautiful setting.

Looking forward to returning next year.

Fantastic set up; everything we needed and very comfortable.

Think the change of hour had not been caught for the boiler as we struggled for hot water if we were up early (before 8am) but the water was otherwise piping hot! Also, small thing, consider putting the TV on an arm rather than fixed to the wall so it can be seen from the second sofa. It is worth mentioning in your write up about the property and surrounding area that there are 4 council operated EV chargers about 300 yds from the property and were perfect for our needs whilst we were away - extremely convenient and relatively economical from the usual public charging rates. Greys Inn nearby very welcoming and where the locals go. Beach is very clean and expansive. Great time had by all.

Barmoor exceeded our expectations , the location was great, having a view across fields and on the edge of the village but within a two minute walk to either the village pub or hotel , and less than 10 minutes onto the beach.

It had everything required for our stay , good heating , TV, fully equipped kitchen . The bathroom is large with a good shower and separate bath . Living room is a good size with comfy sofas .

We had a lovely relaxing stay ,beautiful quiet location.

Property reasonably well stocked.Lounge lovely and cosy with great new sofas. Easy walk to pubs and lovely stroll to beach.Area is just beautiful and you can access lots of places by foot or car Comfortable for 4 adults and dogs Nice and warm too . Would reccomend. We will definitely be back Only real negatives Needs outside lighting to work at back of property and radiator in bedroom very noisy early morning.

Property is a home from home, comfortable, warm and welcoming.

This is our 5th time we’ve stayed here and it will be our last!

! Tile grouting and seals in shower cubicle are dirty, making having a shower not nice. Windows needed washed, I could go on but it won’t get me anywhere!

We holiday.

In Northumberland at least twice a year and Embleton is by far our favourite place to base ourselves, great walks and places to eat right on the doorstep. Barmoor is a great cottage, well equipped ,really clean a great secure garden for our dog. It was extremely cold with lots of snow while we were there and the log burner was so welcome. Has a great bathroom and very comfortable beds, if there’s anything I would change it would be the sofas as they’re not the comfiest but that definitely wouldn’t stop us returning to Barmoor. A real gem of a cottage and would highly recommend.

Second stay and very enjoyable.

Would really appreciate some tea, coffee and milk provided on arrival. Excellent location and safe garden for the dog.

Very warm, cosy and well equipped cottage.

Ideal location .

We had a wonderful stay at Barmoor.

The house is a home from home and so clean and welcoming. In a great location, close to Dunstanburgh Hotel where we had a lovely meal. Recommend booking a table here especially if a dog owner. A 5 minute walk to The Greys Inn, with a very welcoming landlady. A lovely local pub and amazing food. Embleton Bay is a 15 minute walk away to a beautiful beach, where you can walk to Low Newton by Sea and visit The Ship Inn and just sit outside and watch the world go by. The house was perfect for us and we will definitely be returning.

We found Barmoor to be very clean, cosy and comfortable.

The beds were great too, so we slept well. It is well equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, but also very close to good dining options (a few minutes walk away), so you have the best of both worlds. We ate at both the local hotel and the pub, and found them to be excellent. Barmoor is convenient for the village and the amazing beach at Embleton (our lab had a brilliant time too!). It is also well placed to easily access the other wonderful places on the coast, as well as lovely towns like Alnwick. We definitely recommend this holiday cottage, and would book again if we return to the area. Our week was for a small family get-together. We had a fantastic time. Thank you!

Barmoor is in a lovely village, not far to walk to Embleton Beach, past a golf course, and lovely view of Dunstanburgh Castle.

There's a shop, garage and two pubs. Not far to travel to other places nearby. The house was clean and tidy and nicely decorated. The beds were all comfy, including the double, but the settees although looked modern were a bit hard and not easy to relax in. Unfortunately the previous guests didn't clear their dog mess from garden and thought maybe the cleaner/gardener could have cleared this before we arrived. Don't expect a welcome pack either, we thought maybe a pint of milk and biscuits would have been a nice touch and would only cost a couple of quid, especially when the rental is such a lot in August!!

A great cottage with all the facilities you need for a smooth stay: plenty of utensils in the kitchen, a great information pack, comfy beds and a hairdryer.

Embleton is a lovely quiet village with a super village shop, a couple of great dog friendly pubs and is a good base for all parts of the Northumberland coastline.

Excellent stay at Barmoor, house was well equipped, very clean and comfortable, couldn’t fault it at all.

Very pleased that there was extra netting on the bottom of the drive gates that kept the garden secure for our two mini dachshunds. Embleton is ideally placed for exploring other nearby coastal villages and excellent food can be had at The Greys and the Dunstaburgh Hotel. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely property ideally located in embleton.

Pubs, shop and beach within easy reach. Clean, comfortable cottage in a quiet setting. The cottage has it's own parking and an enclosed garden which is ideal to sit out in.

Barmoor continues to be a secret gem by the sea.

It's relaxed, unpretentious decor, with all the practical things you need, mean you immediately chill on holiday. Beds and linen are very comfortable. Occupying a quiet location in Embleton village allows for a sense of privacy, yet with a short stroll to lovely pubs and restaurants.

We really loved the cottage size and the equipment in the kitchen.

We were pleased that we had a spare room as the double bed mattress was so uncomfortable, the springs were noisy and we woke several times in the nights we slept in it. A foam mattresses topper would have made a big difference if this is a temporary thing while you wait for a new mattress. The twin bed mattresses were better than that one but still not as I would expect for this price rental. Also, for a couple to have to sleep in single beds for most of our holiday was very far from good. You can put up with a couple of nights discomfort in an average hotel bed, but 7 nights, it’s just not possible. It is a dog friendly house, but without an external hose it was quite difficult and frustrating to get the dog washed off after the many walks we enjoyed. Also, with kids in tow we would have expected a smart TV, they are cheap and offer some calm after a day out and about, especially as the bbc children’s channels are no longer available without this. We loved feeding the birds and doing the kids puzzle and everything else about the house. But sleep and comfortable beds are a must have when away so this would be something I would urge you to look at.

One of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in.

Cosy, comfortable, well equipped and close to the beach and coast paths. Both us and the dogs had a great week!

Comfortable,clean,well equipped property with a secure garden,walking distance to a wonderful beach and shop and local pubs.

Would recommend this property and hope to return

Lovely warm, welcoming cottage.

Everything we needed, made our stay an undiluted pleasure! We love Embleton Bay and Barmoor now goes firmly onto our recommended places to stay list!

Barmoor is one of the cosiest properties I have ever stayed in - and I have stayed in 40+ over the years.

On a cold January day, after a 3-4 hour walk along the coast, the house welcomed us back and warmed us up in no time. Well equipped, with a proper sized TV for the dark nights, a good garden for the dog and all the little bits and bobs you have at home, what more could you ask for? Highly recommended!

Barmoor is a warm, comfortable, clean, cosy, well equipped and well located holiday cottage.

There are lovely walks to the sea from the door step as well as countryside walks. A very secure garden for our dog. Very peaceful and a joy to come back to after a day out.

Our favourite property, always our 'go to'

We really enjoyed our stay at Barmoor.

The house was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. We would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Barmoor and the village of Embleton, with it's stunning beach and views.

Lovely clean welcoming house in a great location.

Barmoor is a very warm, comfortable and extremely well equipped holiday home.

We would love to return next year.

Fourth holiday in this property and it never fails to impress!

Recently refurbished property.

Very clean lines and modern, a pleasure to stay in.

Barmoor is a beautiful house and it was very clean.

Would recommend this property to others without hesitation

Excellent property.

Clean and cosy and very well equipped. Safe enclosed garden. Close to the beach and surrounding areas were within easy reach offering good walking, sightseeing, bird watching etc.

We had a really lovely stay in Barmoor.

The property is very clean, very warm and has everything you need. It's in a great location, a short walk from the village pub, The Greys Inn and Sambuca Restaurant at the Bluebell, both of which serve excellent food. The stunning beach is only 15-20 mins walk and easy access to Low & High Newton and Craster in the opposite direction. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Clean, warm cottage.

Enclosed and secure garden - suitable for dogs. Freshly decorated, plenty of kitchen equipment. Very good overall

Well equipped house in the ideal location for dog walking,golfing and exploring the Northumberland coast!

Well decorated and clean.

Perfect location for exploring the coastline. 15 minute walk to the beach. Well equipped kitchen. Everything we needed a comfortable week.
