“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!

Thank you Rachel for your lovely feedback and I am glad you enjoyed your stay. I wish you had told us about the hot water during your stay as it is not normally an issue unless someone has been fiddling with the controls. I noticed that there was no hot water or heating when we cleaned.The boiler had been switched off which does not do it any good being an external oil combi - particularly in sub zero temperatures. I switched it back on and reset the controls to the correct settings. I have checked with our current guests that all is working as it should and they have said that the hot water is fine. For future reference the hot water should always be set to continuous to work effectively and never switched off. The campervan is not normally on the drive but was out of the storage unit for some repairs. It has to be parked on the driveway for insurance purposes - sorry for any inconvenience.
