“Fantastic views, comfortable accommodation.”

We had a minor issue with the shower head which was rectified in hrs (2 hour round trip for the owners). Really comfy bed, kitchen equipped with everything we needed. We had 1 really rainy day, we went to Bamburgh for lunch came back and had a lovely afternoon reading with a bottle of plonk close by. Felt at home. We've booked for next year.

Hilary September 2025

“Links View is a gorgeous property.”

The whole property is beautifully decorated & furnished with all the accompanying accessories like cushions & throws matching. The only niggle we have is that in the evening the lighting in the living area is too dark. The lights are so 'moody' It's difficult to see ones plate on the dining table plus one can't take advantage of the most comfortable seating to read a book .

- Hilary, September 2025

We are glad that you like our cottage and that you enjoyed your stay. We do use energy saving lightbulbs where possible which are sometimes not as bright and can take time to reach full brightness when compared to conventional ones. We hope that this didn’t spoil your enjoyment and have recently bought a portable floor lamp for reading. We hope you will return to Links View, kind regards, Heidi and Jo. Property Owner
Denise September 2025

“Fantastic week , cottage was lovely , very clean beautiful views , couldn’t fault a thing but !”

( could do with some new pillows in the main bed room though ) but other wise fabulous would stay again.

- Denise, September 2025

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. (We have replaced all of the pillows with new ones since your stay) We hope you come again. All of the best to you, Heidi and Jo. Property Owner
Michelle August 2025

“Stunning views with a sea view and sunrises and a beautiful house.”

This was the perfect location for us in all the years we have been coming to Northumberland, a walk to the beach, the castle and the golf course. We loved it so much that within 24 hours we booked it again for next year!

- Michelle, August 2025

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are so glad you like Links view and are returning. All of the best to you, Heidi and Jo. Property Owner

“A wonderful property with the most amazing view, perfect location.”

.to watch the bird life in the nature reserve from the comfort of the balcony. Very comfortable bed, Only issue we had was with the sound bar on the TV but that could easily be down to us being technophobes. Cant wait to revisit

Sophie March 2025

“Amazing property.”

The view was fantastic and we had a great few days there. Would definitely return if staying in the area again. The only real issue was that the bathroom lock didn't work.

- Sophie, March 2025

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you will come again. We are sorry that we weren’t able to replace the bathroom lock in time for your arrival. It has now been replaced. All of the best to you, Heidi and Jo Property Owner

Frank February 2025

“We have stayed in 3 other cottages along this block, and by far this is the most homley.”

We will look to stay in this one in the future rather than booking the other's we have stayed in?

- Frank, February 2025

It’s so kind of you to say that and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Many thanks and all of the best to you, Heidi and Jo Property Owner
Elizabeth February 2025

“We’ve been visiting Embleton for a few years now and this is our first stay at Links View.”

Perfect location in the village with the best view out to sea and over to Dunstanburgh Castle that we’ve had of all the properties we’ve stayed in. Embleton is also a perfect base for exploring Northumberland. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely return to Links View. Thank you. Liz

- Elizabeth, February 2025

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope you will return to Links View soon. All the best, Heidi and Jo Property Owner
Steven January 2025

“I last stayed in this house about 20 years ago and since then it has had a really good makeover/refurbishment- especially the bathroom.”

Very comfortable lounge furniture and a well equipped kitchen. We had everything we needed for our stay. And, of course, the views from the lounge and balcony are spectacular both in the day and, if you are lucky and get clear skies, at night. The house was very clean and warm when we arrived. Owners: I couldn’t get the timer on the heater in the single room to work so it had to be switched on or off ( which wasn’t a problem) . Probably me just not understanding the process but worth a check. It’s about a 10 minute walk downhill from the house to the beach and golf course and for a change of scenery the old quarry and pond next to the house has also had a makeover and is now a nature reserve with clear pathways, 2 free range goats and 2 Dartmoor ponies. Really good bird watching spot. We ate at The Greys Inn one night. 3 different meals, all really good. Will definitely return here & can highly recommend Links View for a stay in Embleton.

- Steven, January 2025

Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope you will come back soon. All of our best wishes, Heidi and Jo Property Owner
Alan December 2024

“Beautiful view from the living room, Good TV with netfix, nicely furnished and well equipped kitchen, very well situated for the beach and the local pubs and shop with easy parking.”

Downside. The third bedroom is disappointing because there is no window only a high glass panel connected to the main bedroom which luminates the room when trying to sleep. But mostly because there is no radiator so rather cold for our youngest in January, we had to leave the door open to let warmth in however the radiator in the hall also didn't work. There is only one double wall socket in that room which is away from the bed. The hot water supply stopped working on the last day so had to wash pots in cold water.

- Alan, December 2024

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your feedback and highlighting these issues. The third bedroom is usually warm (as it is situated in the middle of the house) but the fan heaters provided can be used to heat the room when the weather is cold. The hot tap water and hall radiator issue has now been resolved. We hope you will come again. All the best, Heidi and Jo. Property Owner
Rachael August 2024

“Hi we absolutely love your place.”

It is our second visit and hope to return again next year. Just a couple of things that may be worth thinking about: A new bathroom lock ( we were 4 friends so had to sing lol) The bathroom window doesn’t shut properly The shower is a little juddery - although still perfectly functional A tin opener. Non of these things detracted from our stay. Loved it and would definitely recommend . It has got to have one of the best views in Northumberland and it is such a pleasure to wake up to it. Thank you for a wonderful stay

- Rachael, August 2024

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Links View. Thank you for pointing out those issues. The lock on the door and window locks in the bathroom can be temperamental in this old building and we will look into sorting this out. We do endeavour to make sure the kitchen is always fully equipped and the missing tin opener has been replaced since your stay. We hope that you will come again! All the best, Heidi and Jo Property Owner
Kathryn August 2024

“We stayed at this cottage each year (sometimes twice) from 2009-2019.”

This is our first visit since 5 years ago. Still as beautiful and peaceful as ever with breath taking views! Inside of cottage lovely and clean but lots of cobwebs and weeds on the back patio and balcony doors. Not a complaint but found the kitchen not as well equipped as previous stays e.g.out of the 7 mis matched mugs 3 were chipped so could not use them, no serving bowls and no tin opener! However, really enjoyed our stay at the lovely cottage

- Kathryn, August 2024

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for bringing those things to our attention - things understandably can get broken or go missing over busy periods and we need to know about these. We hope you will come to stay again. All the best, Heidi and Jo. Property Owner
Kim July 2024

“Our third visit to Links View and hopefully not the last!”

It is a fabulous home, really well equipped, extremely comfortable and with amazing views across the bay.

- Kim, July 2024

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are always so pleased to hear that guests enjoy being at Links View as much as we do and hope to return. Heidi and Jo Property Owner
Keith June 2024

“The pre-clean for our stay was acceptable but the kitchen and bathroom would benefit from a more thorough clean e.”

G. just under the cupboards in the kitchen is filthy, not easily seen by everyone but I'm petite and could see clearly the need for a blitz. The basin was very clean in the bowl and taps but outside the bowl and the pedestal were not. The window sills were a bit webby and dusty. Sorry, we love this property but you did ask!

- Keith, June 2024

We are so sorry that the cleaning was not up to scratch on this occasion. Thank you for letting us know. Our housekeeper is aware of the issues and will ensure that this does not occur again. We hope you had a good stay and will come again. Heidi and Jo (owners) Property Owner

“Always a pleasure to stay in this lovely property!”

Sue May 2024

“The new cutlery could be a bit big for children to use , perhaps could do with a couple of smaller sets also plastic beakers .”

Could do with a 4th chair for balcony. Socket light in downstairs hallway a great addition. Thank you

- Sue, May 2024

Thank you for your suggestions. We have now included some more child friendly cutlery and beakers at the cottage. If there are not enough chairs on the balcony for your party when you arrive, please feel free to use any of the folding chairs from the bedrooms. We hope you had a good holiday and will return to Links View again. Heidi and Jo (owners) Property Owner
L A May 2024

“We've been going twice, sometimes 3 times a year to Links View for the last 16 years at the same time.”

Indeed, NCCC, your predecessors, used to contact us regarding said bookings if we hadn't contacted them. Imagine our disappointment when in attempting to book for next year our 13th May booking, you'd let it go, not mindful of our history. You don't care enough about individuals and that's why you only got a 5. L.A.Steel.

- L A, May 2024

We are so sorry that you had this experience with Sykes. We have resolved the issue for the following year and hope that we can prevent this from happening again. We as owners really do value our return guests and hope that you will continue to come back to enjoy staying at Links View. Heidi and Jo Property Owner

Nicola December 2023

“We arrived at 4pm as required to find that there was NO heating on in the property - it was 6.”

6 degrees in the property which is totally unacceptable on a winters evening. It took hours to get the place warmed up and we should not have had to sit in our coats in the meantime. I find it hard to believe that nobody could have popped in a couple of hours before our arrival and switched on the various heaters. That aside, once the cottage was heated, it was lovely and we had a lovely break.

- Nicola, December 2023

We always try to ensure that our guests arrive to a warm cottage. I am so sorry that this was not the case for you. Thank you for letting us know. Our housekeeper had been in to check that the cottage was ‘guest ready’ and to switch on the heating earlier in the day, but fears that she must not have adjusted the thermostat correctly on this occasion. We hope that you were able to enjoy your stay and that you will come again. Wishing you a happy new year. Kind regards, Heidi and Jo. Property Owner
Colin November 2023

“A lovely warm, comfortable and well equipped property.”

The views from the lounge are stunning and the proximity to the village's facilities makes this a perfect holiday location.

- Colin, November 2023

Thank you so much for your kind remarks, We wish you all of the best for the new year and hope you will come again. Kind regards, Heidi and Jo. Property Owner
Hilary September 2023

“This is a fabulous property in a fabulous position.”

Owners have gone to a lot of effort to keep a high standard of decoration, & with many lovely small details, throughout the accommodation. The description of the Links View property as "top quality" is accurate unlike some of the other properties in this area that we have had the misfortune to stay in where the reality falls way short of their description. This experience of properties ranging from really lovely (like LinksView) to not at all lovely but with similar descriptions on the NCC website makes it very difficult to chose holiday properties & even to trust the listings. We love Links View & thank the owners for taking such trouble to keep their property up to this standard.

- Hilary, September 2023
David June 2023

“Lovely holiday, always enjoy Embleton - third stay at the property - though on this occasion disappointed to find letter box hanging off front door on arrival and a chair on the balcony was broken and became un-usable by middle of the week.”

House keeper and owner both informed. More disappointed to see however that the cost of the same seven night holiday stay has increased by over 20% for 2024.

“Simply the most stunning and relaxing view from the living room.”

Looking over fields out to sea, you watch the waves break, the geese flying overhead, the golfers on the links and Dunstanburgh Castle in the distance. Wonderful!

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.

Please note towels are not provided.
