    “Had a fantastic week at Cushat House one of the nicest best equipped holiday homes we have ever rented.”

    On arrival so happy with the space, cleanliness and very thoughtful welcome pack. We slept in the main bedroom with four poster style bed. If you are a light sleeper maybe use the double back bedroom as the skylight in front room has no blind on it so I did make use of my sleep mask. Even though the weather was changeable we were able to make use of the lovely garden and sit at the kitchen table with the patio doors open watching all the birds that visited. The coffee machine was well used ...

    On arrival so happy with the space, cleanliness and very thoughtful welcome pack. We slept in the main bedroom with four poster style bed. If you are a light sleeper maybe use the double back bedroom as the skylight in front room has no blind on it so I did make use of my sleep mask. Even though the weather was changeable we were able to make use of the lovely garden and sit at the kitchen table with the patio doors open watching all the birds that visited. The coffee machine was well used and was so surprised at the amount of pods supplied although we did buy some different ones from the co-op in Seahouses. A short drive away was the lovely Embleton Bay where we parked beside Dunstanburgh Castle golf club before walking with our dog along the beach or over the golf course if no one playing. We ate here twice in the afternoon and one evening just stopped in for drinks. Food was lovely and everything very reasonably priced. We walked along the beach one day to Low Newton by the Sea, we visited the local pub The Ship Inn for drinks was extremely busy as was a beautiful day. The food here looked amazing and the most popular item was the crab sandwich. Unfortunately we weren’t hungry but enjoyed our drinks and coffee and took a piece of fruit cake back to the house for later. One night we walked up through the field which has a path kindly cut by the farmer into Rennington where we had a meal at the Horseshoe Inn. Once again the food was so good and the portions were huge we could both only manage a main course and their gluten free fish and chips was so good. Well worth visiting if you stay at Cushat. Was sorry to see that the house is actually up for sale

In easy reach of the coast with the Northumberland National Park just a scenic drive away, this stylish stone-built abode is perfect for families of five seeking either an action-packed escape or simply taking time out to enjoy the extensive beaches and counryside.

To the front of the property you will find impressive manicured gardens, while stepping through the front door will bring you to even more splendour styled to make you feel at home; enter the beautifully presented sitting room where you can find the Smart TV, a lovely spot to wind down in the evening, while under the archway you can find the bright and airy open-plan kitchen-diner, a wonderful area to gather to spend quality time with your loved ones, whether you're assisting the chef in the amply-equipped kitchen, or gathered at the table tucking into a lovingly-prepared meal, Cushat House is the perfect place to create everlasting memories with your loved ones.

The snug is where you can spend a quiet moment to yourself away from the excitement of the group, boasting a calmly styled interior, there's no better spot to wind down with a good book.

Moving from the kitchen-diner through the lounge,, passing the convenient cloakroom, to find lovely artwork designed by the owner lining the walls, up the stairs to the landing bringing you to the three bedrooms of two doubles both with beautiful feature wallpaper and a single room, perfect for a little one, with the spacious travertine family bathroom: you can choose from a relaxing soak or a quick rinse in the shower to start your day.

Spend moments together within the beautiful rear garden, with plenty of space for your family or canine companions to play, here you can enjoy alfresco dining when you're not indulging in the delicious eateries nearby.

Stamford makes a wonderful base for those seeking an idyllic location with easy access to the surrounding excitement of Northumberland; visit Rennington to find the welcoming family-owned pub The Horseshoe Inn where you can indulge in a hearty pub lunch whilst basking in the beer garden, or make your way to the village of Embleton to find even more eateries as well as a local shop for picking up your own essentials.

Embleton benefits from a grassy path which runs all the way from the village to nearby Craster, passing the wonder of Dunstanburgh Castle, the largest ruined castle in Northumberland, leading you to a beautiful beach lined with seafood restaurants, famed as being the home of the Kipper, it's a must visit for the foodie.

Go wildlife watching at the Arnold Memorial Nature Reserve, with a plethora of birdlife found here, or visit historic Alnwick with its impressive castle, unique poison gardens and wonderful shopping experiences.

The Northumberland's Heritage Coastline is well-worth exploring for some of the most scenic spots in the area, while a trip into the National Park promises all kinds of outdoor adventure with opportunities for walking, cycling, horse riding, fishing, stargazing and so much more.

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.
