“A beautiful and comfortable house for a large party.”

We came 10 years ago so came back again. Very clean and super location near the beach. On the downside I was surprised that there was no soap or shower gel in the bathrooms and only 1 toilet roll in each one so we had to buy these. There was no oven glove. My young grandson didn’t realise the ball hanging near the stove was made of glass and he by mistake broke a little bit of glass off the side of the left one. I’m very sorry about this.

Thank you for your feedback , we’re delighted you enjoyed your stay . Our laundry supplier services hotels consequently we provide fresh oven cloths & tea towels rather than oven gloves . As a self catering property we do provide hand wash at each basin and some toilet rolls to get you started. Thank you for letting us know of your breakage , hope you choose to stay again .

“A very spacious well-furnished property in a wonderful location.”

Fantastic views from virtually every room. A short walk from the village shop and pub and another short walk to the beach and the catering facilities of the local golf club (open to the public). Within a short driving distance of attractions such as the local beaches, the Farne Islands boat trips (from Seahouses), Alnwick castle and gardens and many more. Our second visit to this area did not disappoint and the house is one of the best we have stayed in over several years.

Eloise November 2025

“We loved staying at this property - it had incredible views of Embleton bay and Dunstanburgh castle, wonderful rooms with cosy beds, and we also enjoyed the two sitting rooms, especially the back one with the fire - so cosy!”

The location was also fantastic - 10 minute walk to the beach, and a brilliant farm shop and pub both less than 5 minutes walk away in the village. We would 100% love to stay there again. David was also really responsive and helpful when there was a slight issue with the dishwasher. Our only comment was that it would have been nice for the bathrooms to have more soap and shower gel for guests to use.

Thanks for your feedback Eloise, we hope to see you again Property Owner

“A spacious house which accommodated our family of ten very well.”

Fabulous views and a great location for exploring the local area. However, we felt there were poor levels of cleanliness in some areas and the barbecue was uninviting. Despite this, we all had a fabulous holiday and enjoyed our stay in the house.

- Andrea, May 2025

We have now spoken direct to better understand the cleaning issues you raise in your review and these have been addressed . Our apologies for the drop in standards on this occasion but thank you for telling us. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay overall and are considering staying at the Villas again next year. Best wishes Property Owner

“Three generations, 8 of us had the most amazing stay over the Christmas period.”

The house was perfect, location, views, comfort and cleanliness. Not that we ventured far, as we had everything we needed right there. Everyone agreed they would like to make a return visit. Thank you.

“It's a beautiful period property, tastefully extended and restored.”

Lovely big bay windows, high ceilings, gorgeous original fireplaces and plenty of comfy beds and seating for our party of 10. Nice selection of board games and DVDs. Well equipped kitchen. Wonderful views of the sea, farmland, wildlife and the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. Embleton is a charming village and the beach is spectacular. Very tastefully and comfortably decorated, a nice blend of traditional style and modern comforts. Definitely want to stay again!

“A wonderfully large and beautifully finished house with the most amazing views out to sea and across to Dunstanburgh Castle.”

Very comfortable living with two spacious lounges and a lovely kitchen/diner. Four of the five large bedrooms have the stunning sea views. Perfectly located for Northumberland's glorious sandy beaches and castles. Embleton enjoys a useful village store and two good local pubs. Highly recommended!

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.
