Emblestones

Lovely accommodation.

Fantastic views towards the sea. The space of the property itself is well thought out without feeling cramped. Everything you need is provided for. Walking straight down the quiet road and within a few minutes you're on the fabulous beach. Lots of fantastic beach walks on your doorstep! Embleton itself is a lovely quiet friendly village with a good healthy balance of tourists and residents. I didn't want to come home! The owners are very friendly. We hope to visit again!

Great hosts Fantastic views Wonderful walks Best accommodation we've stayed at in embleton

Perfect property, perfect location, perfect holiday.

We will be back next year

We loved our stay.

The accommodation was ideal for the two of us. Smart, spacious and comfortable. All we needed and more. The location was wonderful. The upside layout meant we had marvellous views of the coast from the sofa. The village has many choices to eat and a great village shop. All walkable from accommodation. Cannot recommend this enough.

Beautiful home and scenery.

Throughly enjoyed our stay.

What a lovely little gem of a cottage,stunning views,spotless,everything you need to stay for the week,couldn't have asked for more ,apart from a little garden to let the dog out ,late at night and early morning ,without having to get dressed and take her for a walk down the lane

Fabulous location - just 8 minutes to beach.

Whilst a small living space the huge picture windows make it feel much larger & view is stunning. Enjoyed it very much

Excellent property, with Excellent views overlooking the golf course and beach.

Amazing sunrises and an excellent and relaxing week. Highly recommended.

What a find!

Just perfect ! The location is fantastic. I could never get bored of the view. Very well thought out accommodation of a high standard , very comfortable and well equipped . Can’t wait to go back but only problem is it already looks pretty full for next year ☹️

We had the most wonderful week in this beautiful cottage.

The location is stunning. You could simply never tire of the beautiful views from the amazing balcony. The cottage is so well thought out and equipped. The bed was particularly comfortable. All in all, I couldn’t recommend Emblestones more highly. We’re already booked for next year!

Excellent accommodation, comfortable and very well equipped.

We especially enjoyed the wonderful views.

Fabulous location with amazing views.

Fantastic walks along the coast within a short distance of the property. Hosts Bridget and Justin very friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the area.

Another lovely stay at Emblestones (our happy place).

Beautiful views and even better this time of year with the morning sun on the balcony for coffee and breakfast. We’ve left a detailed review from when we stayed in Feb 24 but to just to reiterate how lovely and cosy this place is and how much me my husband and our two dogs love it! We all feel immediately relaxed as soon as we arrive. Thanks again for a lovely stay and we will be back! Rachel

One of the best places we've ever stayed - we will absolutely be back.

Thank you

Fantastic cottage with great facilities.

Very comfy bed and great view when relaxing in the lounge. Lovely walks from the door and plenty of places around to visit. This was our 2nd stay here.

If you like amazing sea views whilst sitting on a comfy sofa after sleeping on a very comfortable bed then you will like Emblestones.

The stay is light bright and comfortable the kichen area is very well kitted out with everything you might need. I look forward to coming again with better weather and sitting on the balcony!

The bed and pillows were VERY comfortable.

The property had been cleaned to a very high standard. There were lots of TV options as there was a Sky box. My dog was very happy as there was a dog bed provided for him in an alcove in the bedroom. There were also fleeces available as my dog is used to going on the furniture at home. Lovely sea views from upstairs. There was only one thing missing and it could just have been that I didn’t spot it but I couldn’t find a shaver point for my electric razor.

Just arrived back after a 7 night stay at emblestones!

We absolutely love this place, having spotted it last year on the way back from the beach to our other holiday cottage/stay we said how much we would love to stay here and my goodness it did not disappoint! The views from this property are absolutely first class! We are early risers and were in awe of the beautiful views and sunrises you can see at this time of year from the property. Its quirky “upside down” design means you can make the most of the view throughout the day The property itself was exceptionally clean and modern in its design and the owners have thought of everything you would need. Despite being compact there is plenty of storage space also. The pictures on the website doesn’t do the size of the bedroom and justice as it’s a lot bigger than it looks and the dog bed/area is just lovely. As doggy lovers it’s apparent that the owners of the property are too which always helps to set us at ease for our stay the little yard is useful for our dogs to go to the toilet, we were a little nervous that there may not have been a secure area for them to go out but this area is enclosed and safe which is great. On arrival, I was having difficulties with the key safe and Justin the owner came out to help which was really nice, he was really welcoming which was great. We loved the area having visited before, my husband loves to play golf, for which this is an ideal spot and we love to walk so the coastal routes to craster, lower Newton by the sea and beadnell were ideal for us (getting the bus back to the village one day as the dogs were a bit tired!!) Overall we had the most amazing stay and cannot wait to visit again next year!! Only observations in terms of feedback and potential improvements is, it would have been good to be able to park on the drive in front of the house, particularly on day 1 when having to unpack the car etc as the owners had a camper parked. There wasn’t a parking issue as such as we could park in front of main house, just a thought/feedback. Also hot water a little temperamental and didn’t seem to last very long/stay hot long for showers etc. possibly user error but may be worth looking at. Many thanks for a wonderful stay and we cannot wait to come back to your beautiful property! Rachel

Perfect for our break, great location, home from home

Wow, what a great find!

Emblestones is so comfortable, we slept so well, the interior of the apartment is tasteful and spotless . Fabulous views whilst having a morning coffee, close to the beach and a great central place to explore Northumberland. We will be back.

Great stay .

Loved the property and the view. We found it odd that there was no bathroom lock on the door.

Lovely week at Emblestones.

Just a couple of things, the loft hatch which has a heavy ladder attached came down and we had to phone the owner who was away, so had to get it back up ourselves only for it to come down again in the middle of our last night. The owners were aware saying it was on their to do list and if it had hit one of us on the head it could have caused injury. The balcony was lovely to sit out on except for the smell from the neighbouring properties boiler fumes, which was sometimes constant so had to shut the door. During our stay the drive up to the property had 3 large vehicles making it difficult getting to the front door with our luggage, although this isn’t the owners fault it should specify where it says ample parking this is one space in front of the neighbouring property.

Excellent break in a well equipped accommodation in an perfect location for all the local amenities.

Fantastic location.

We will be back.

So relaxing.

We sat looking out at sea a lot Never had better views.

A lovely property with stunning views and good walks on the doorstep.

Superb week at Emblestones faultless accommodation.

Justin & Bridget should be very proud of the job they have done with the renovation.

excellent location for living in when Whinstones wasn't quite big enough for whole family.

Also a valuable peaceful retreat!

Excellent property in lovely location.

Great for coastal walks and bird-watching

This property excelled our expectations.

It was immaculate, well laid out and very comfortable. The location was great with views over the bay and in a lovely village with everything you required. One big bonus was Sky Sports, my husband didn’t miss his match. Will definitely return.

We have just come back from an amazing week at Emblestones It was a wonderful week away The owners Bridget and Justin were really friendly and helpful giving us tips on places to visit The property was beautifully decorated and spotless Very well designed with everything we needed The king size bed was gorgeous and extremely comfortable We slept like logs every night Emblestones was an excellent location to explore this beautiful part of Northumberland Only a short walk to the lovely sandy beach which was enjoyed daily by our Golden Retriever Hadleigh along with paddle!

We can highly recommend Emblestones and we will most definitely be coming back Penny and Carl

This is an outstanding property with all the facilities for an extremely comfortable stay.

. The ‘upside down’ layout is brilliant for making the most of the outstanding views from the living room. The property is ideally placed as a base for walking the coastal path with a bus stop only 250 years away to catch the coastal bus to extend the range for taking linear rather than circular walks and if you want to explore further within 45 minutes of Lindisfarne to the north and half an hour from Amble in the south. A perfect base.

We had a wonderful stay at Emblestones.

The accommodation is perfect - well designed and fitted to a high standard, very cosy and with a fabulous panoramic sea view. It's in a great location for walks along Embleton Bay to The Ship at Low Newton and to Craster.

We had an excellent stay,much appreciated.

This is a very special place

A warm and comfortable holiday cottage with stunning views over the coastline.

Lovely comfy bed with quality bedding. Tastefully furnished to a high standard. The location is perfect with a short walk down to the beach and wonderful walks along the sand and sand dunes to seaside villages. Highly recommend.

Lovely views and very cosy

Lovely cottage.

Very well designed to make the most of the superb views. Very large comfortable bedroom. Just right for 2 people

We had a lovely restful week staying in Emblestones.

The view was amazing and being so close to the beach was an added bonus. We enjoyed relaxing in the property and also taking long walks on Embleton sands as well as getting out and about to some of our favorite spots on the Northumbrian coast. A real gem of a place to stay. Thank you.

A fantastic cottage with some wonderful little touches.

A real home from home with an amazing view. A very friendly place so close to the beach. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will be back!

We reported the kitchen tap, owner already aware and plumber had been unable to fit replacement.

The locale is so beautifully quiet that the dripping and whistling noise (when not used for some hours) led to broken sleep. Apart from that, and bathroom waste plugs that demonstrate style over function, it is a lovely property. What a view!

This was our first stay at Emblestones and we have loved it, the views are amazing and the accommodation is perfect, everything you need for a relaxing break.

Stunning views and great location for walking relaxing and touring.

We had a fantastic week, such a beautiful location.

A lovely comfortable property with amazing views and so cosy and comfortable. Just a few minutes walk down the stunning beach and do many interesting walks. Our 2 dogs loved their stay. Great to have Sky TV for evening entertainment. The owners Justin & Bridget were so friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to return.

Excellent accommodation with the added bonus of fantastic views.

Everything we hoped it would be and more. Will certainly be back again.

We have stayed in many holiday lets over the years but Emblestones has to be our favourite -this cosy property is so well designed and absolutely perfect for a couple and we immediately felt relaxed!

Quiet coastal location, lovely decor, good quality furniture and fittings, plenty of culinary equipment, incredibly comfy bed, powerful shower, friendly, responsive hosts and most of all the most AMAZING views of the sea and surrounding countryside!

We loved Emblestones, the location was perfect and the layout of the property allowed us to enjoy beautiful views from every seat in the living area.

The property is clean, well presented and has everything you need for a 'home from home' feel. Justin and Bridget were superb hosts - friendly but not intrusive and we appreciated the local knowledge they shared with us. We really hope to return soon.

Bridget was available but not intrusive.

Informative and very dog friendly. Quality of the accommodation was outstanding. Would recommend.

A great place to stay, fantastic accomodation and great area, Rosie (our Lab) loved the beach!

Excellent!

Very high standards and friendly owners. Super spot with great view and so close to the wonderful beach and Dunstanburgh Castle. Second stay there….. due back in January. Why wouldn’t you????? Thanks

Emblestones is a stunning apartment in a lovely wee village.

It has everything you could need and is so cosy and comfortable. Embleton Bay is 10 minutes walk away and is a beautiful beach. Lots to see and do nearby. We would highly recommend Emblestones and will definitely return at some point.

Fabulous cottage.

Perfect position, view to die for.

The most wonderful views and lovely cottage.

Have already booked for next June.

Our second visit to the lovely Emblestones.

.and definitely won’t be the last. Just idyllic.

Embelton is a most tranquil cottage with plenty to do .

Rain or sunshine. If its raining the views from the picture perfect window out to sea and the sand dunes too the log fire and plenty of videos ,games and TV.When the sun is shining the coast line is glorious ,plenty of walking and plenty of sight seeing, Alnwick with its fantastic castle and gardens and the town has a wonderful Boarders books.Not far is Holy Island (don't forget to check the tides).Seahouses and Craster for fish and many more places to discover. We will be going back. Northumberland is fantastic.

Had a fabulous holiday.

The cottage was perfect for us. The view was amazing... the best in Northumberland! A lovely autumn break, with a roaring log fire. We’re looking forward to going again in May

Emblestones is a beautiful property in an excellent position.

Ten minutes walk to the beach and two minutes walk into the centre of the village. Amazing sea view in any weather. Property is well equipped and very comfortable. We will definitely book again.

Fantastic accommodation with spectacular views from the balcony .

The accomodation was perfect with wonderful views

The property was well equipped and clean.

The owners very helpful when needed. Great walks in area and pub and shop very convenient.

Brilliant accommodation with every home comfort you could wish for.

The view of the bay throughout the day from 'Emblestones' full picture window is breath taking. Then in the evening the big dark skies are a real treat for star gazers. Its so hard to leave this place!

Lovely cottage, fantastic situation, helpful owner - couldn't have asked for anything more!

Fab, fab and more fab

best holiday ever - stunning view - beautiful holiday home

Luxurious accommodation in a peaceful and relaxing spot with amazing views of the beach and surrounding countryside.

The kitchen is very well equipped and the TV has a wide choice of channels. Dogs are supplied with beds, bowls and towels. This is a little paradise and we certainly didn't want to leave!

Emblestones was perfect, the view from the balcony is beautiful, the weather was amazing when we stayed in July.

The beach, just 10 mins walk, is unspoilt and surprisingly quiet. The cottage itself has everything you could possibly need and the owners were lovely . Had a fabulous week for our honeymoon!! The dogs loved it too!!

The location was superb with view to match.

Facilities were ideal for us and owner's very pleasant and helpful.

Fantastic location, great views, most comfortable bed we have sleep, a lovely relaxing break.

Very comfortable, well appointed, perfect location, helpful owners, highly recommended.

Emblestones is an exceptional property due to the high quality of the accommodation.

Stylish, extremely comfortable bed and furniture plus much more. The location is perfect and the view from the property make every day whatever the weather a joy, in particular the sunrise. It is a shame that we live so far away otherwise we would be in the queue to rebook. We would highly recommend this property.

Lovely property wonderful location, amazing view and beach excellent.

Very quiet and peaceful. Would visit again.

We arrived late at Emblestones, so didn't get to appreciate the view until the next morning, it is mesmerising!

We have watched it for hours! Emlestones is great, we've been holidaying with Sykes up in Northumberland for years, it is very handy for where we like to visit and the miles and miles of unspoilt beaches are of course loved by both ourselves and the dogs. The walk around the bay to the Ship Inn at Low Newton for hearty soup followed by a delicious crumble and cream was a real treat, my husband even had a pint or two of the Emblestones! It would have been very rude not to! This has been a fantastic holiday, we have relaxed, recharged and are ready to return to Emblestones next year!

Beautiful, compact but perfectly formed holiday cottage with amazing views.

Perfect for dogs - humans also allowed.

We absolutely loved our stay.

The apartment was beautifully decorated and furnished and in a breathtaking location overlooking the bay. Perfect for long walks and lazy lunches. The owners have thought of everything possible to make the stay comfortable right down to a little ‘cave’ for the dog. Couldn’t of asked for more.

Great view from the property.

Great location for walks. Very clean and well equipped - perfect for 2 people.

Me, partner and 2 dogs Fabulous cottage, very clean, everything you need, got there to bread, milk, which was great.

Fantastic location and views are stunning Bathroom is not small at all, it is about the same size as a standard bathroom and we managed perfectly well. Lovely shower over bath Enjoyed that much whilst we were there we booked it for next October 2018, Julie Campbell

The bathroom is very cramped.

We are both slim and found it so, I would imagine that a large person would struggle.

Emblestones is an extremely comfortable cottage in a peaceful situation, which has breathtaking view over fields to Embleton Bay and the sea.

A short walk down the lane beside the property leads to a golf course and the glorious sands of the bay, with the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle high on its cliff setting about a mile to the south. There are many things to see and do near the cottage, and we particularly enjoyed visiting Bamburgh Castle, the gardens next to Alnwick Castle together with the delightful town of Alnwick itself (Barter Books, a second-hand and antiquarian emporium situated in the old Alnwick station building is a must for book-lovers) and Howick Hall gardens. As for golfers, they'll be spoilt for choice with the myriad of courses in the surrounding area. We loved every minute of our holiday and would definitely recommend Embletones for its cleanliness, comfort and situation. The owners are very helpful without being intrusive, and the log-burner in the living-room was the icing on the cake!

No.

The property was very good indeed. We really enjoyed our stay there. Plenty of good walks on hand, dog friendly cafes and pubs a plenty. Scenery and views amazing. Would recommend anyone to stay there.

Emblestones is a real little gem .

Beautiful views , and superb location . The annexe has been decorated to a very high standard and the owners have provided everything and more , needed to make you feel at home .. will definitely be back ...

You are guaranteed a warm welcome at Emblestones.

It is the perfect place to stay and explore this beautiful part of Northumberland, with the coast, castles and gardens there is so much to do. It is extremely well-appointed and has the most wonderful views down to the sea - we would certainly recommend a holiday here.

Property was of the highest standard and quality furnishings.

Scrupulously clean. Great use of space. Loved every minute of it. So much so we have booked already for this year and next. Sky TV and film choices are brilliant and so much choice. Everything taken care of for us, nothing to think about other than feeding ourselves. Perfectly relaxing and a killer view of the stunning Northumberland coast of Embleton, including our own "pet" cows, sheep, rabbits. Dunstanburgh Castle in full view. Easy coastal walks for the fair-weather variety. Local amenties are adequate for holiday purposes and sufficient to satisfy all needs for getting away from it all. Thank you Bridget, Justin and family, good luck in your new venture from the McIntoshs' :)
