“The accommodation is basic the kitchen, dining living room is not well laid out and small.”

The bedrooms are also small and have very limited storage space for four people. Parking is easy and spacious, location is great with easy walking distance to the village and beaches. The hot tub is well maintained and clean and the swimming pool is small and ok for children. Overall the location is great but this is not the luxury accommodation as stated in the details for the cottage

“Outstanding.”

Excellent value. The things that stood out. Location - situated between Amble and Seahouses, quiet, views, very accessible walks, a bath and spacious shower, facilities in the cottage, the temperature was perfect throughout the stay ( heating needed no adjustment). Obviously the hot tub and swimming pool were a bonus. We would highly recommend this property

- Denise, June 2026

From everybody at North farm thank you for your positive feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your holiday. The location is perfect. To enjoy Northumberland. Property Owner
Janet May 2026

“We absolutely loved our stay here and will definitely be returning later this year.”

Two very small things, no pint glasses and no icecube trays. Both were easily sorted on a trip into town.

Carole April 2026

“We have stayed at North Farm many times over the years and we are never disappointed.”

Thank you again for another great week.

Sarah February 2026

“Lovely week.”

Accommodation was very comfortable. Pool was fab and well managed. As a parent arriving on my own with two kids, I can't describe how welcome the welcome pack was! Thank you

- Sarah, February 2026

Thanks a lot for your lovely review. We glad the Cottage met your expectations and that you had a great time with your kids. The swimming pool is definitely one of or guests favourites. we hope to see you again in the near future. Property Owner
Melvyn February 2026

“Quite basic and smaller than expected.”

The strangest heating system ever- motion sensors mean the heating only comes on if it detects movement so you have to walk round the lounge every half hour to keep the heating on. It also means the place is freezing cold in a morning until you get up! Everywhere was verry clean however.

- Melvyn, February 2026

Thank you for your review, Bothy is rated as 4 tick property by Sykes. I am sorry you struggled with the heating system, there are instructions in the welcome pack. The motion sensor activates the heating for one hour once triggered, I can see from the logs for the week you were there the heating was set to 22C. There is a boost button which raises this to 24C, which I see you did not use. The temperature is set to 18C if not activated for one hour e.g. if you go to bed. There is also a log burning stove in Bothy with a welcome pack of logs. I hope you enjoyed the facilities and the rest of your holiday with us. Property Owner

Anne-theresa October 2025

“The accommodation was first class and so clean.”

We enjoyed the hot tub and the pool . The view from the cottage was excellent. This was our fourth stay at North Farm and won't be our last.

Jackie October 2025

“This was a fabulous stay .”

Everything was top class . Loved the hot tub at the ripe age of 70 we are converted . I love swimming so we had everything we wanted . We have been coming to this same area for 30 years and this was our best stay ever . The weather was amazing I could go on and on our only worry is that if we raved about it too much about it we will never get an apartment again !!! Well done hosts x

- Jackie, October 2025

We’d like to say thank you for your positive feedback and we are happy that you enjoyed your holiday and even more so the hot tub definitely is a favourite with our guests as well as the swimming pool. The weather always makes it better as well. We hope to see you back at North Farm cottage very soon Property Owner
Brenda July 2025

“A little coffee table would be nice as we were worried about putting our cups on the lovely floor.”

Also broachers informing what's about the area and post codes for addresses in your information booklet. Very nice cottage. Enjoyed our stay very much thank you

- Brenda, July 2025

David March 2025

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

The cottage was well equipped and exceeded our expectations. I did try using the EV charger, but unfortunately couldn't get it to connect with my car. No issue though as I found chargers near M&S in Alnwick.

- David, March 2025
Paul March 2025

“Excellent communication from hosts and exceptionally well presented cottage.”

The provision of local supplies in the welcome pack were much appreciated on our arrival. Very warm and cosy and really comfortable beds, great shower, kitchen very well equipped, we all enjoyed the pool and hot tub and log fire, (scrupulously clean.) Relaxing quiet and scenic setting leaving us truly refreshed after a weeks stay. We will definately be staying again soon.

- Paul, March 2025

From everybody at North Farm, we appreciate your fantastic feedback and we are pleased that you enjoyed your holiday… we will look forward to seeing you back at North Farm soon Property Owner

Julia September 2024

“Our first visit to the Northumberland coast and what a beautiful place.”

The Bothy was excellent in every way & perfectly situated for exploring this stunning coast. The mown pathways to the beach and to the village were a real bonus, especially as my husband is disabled and uses a mobility scooter which easily managed the route to the village and the pillbox and picnic area, half way to the beach. The onsite team were friendly and helpful too and provided a shower chair for my husband which came in handy for him whilst using the wash hand basin too. The indoor pool was perfect, although my son and I only managed one swim as our schedule was pretty packed! We're sorry we didn't get to try out the hot tub, again partly due to our busy schedule and the chilly wind blowing across! We will most certainly come again and would recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful spot in a clean, well equipped and comfy cottage with far reaching seascape views. The only thing that could be improved, and we are being picky here, is more coat hangers and a couple of small side tables by the second settee to put our drinks on. Otherwise perfect - Thank you!

- Julia, September 2024
Diane May 2024

“Exceptional cottage.”

Lovely and clean with everything you could need. Just one tiny thing there was no tin opener and I would suggest a long mirror in one of the rooms near a plug as there is no way you can dry your hair and look in the mirror! But overall exceptional 100% we would stay again

- Diane, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback. If you had asked a member of staff they would have given you a tin opener no problem. Property Owner
Gloria April 2024

“Great place to stay.”

Loverly surroundings. Clean and tidy all round. Very well equipped. The welcome pack was great and a nice touch. Hot tub great Swimming pool a added bonus. The path to the beach and to the village were a great asset and it was good how the owners have made the paths and great to use. Would highly recommend staying there to friends etc

The property

Coastal location.

Beadnell 4.9 miles; Alnwick 8.6 miles; Bamburgh 9.1 miles.

North Farm Cottages

A group of tastefully decorated, luxury cottages with panoramic views towards Embleton Bay. Each cottage at North Farm has been individually styled with great attention to detail; with dining tables for those celebratory meals, sleek kitchens and large living areas to accommodate you and your loved ones, spacious bedrooms with soft beds and bathroom facilities, all of which help to provide a superb base for touring this beautiful county. Relax on the peaceful patio area or perhaps enjoy a dip in the newly-built swimming pool. North Farm was once a busy working farm and is still surrounded by lush green fields. A safe, gently sloping farm track leads from the farm down to stunning Embleton Bay, with little extras along the way to make the walk more exciting. Guests can say hello to the three deer, stop off at the old pill box for a rest or relax on the beach and spend the day making sandcastles and paddling. From the beach, turn left and take a stroll to the Ship at Low Newton, famous for its microbrewery and scrumptious food, or for a more ambitious walk, turn right and take in Dunstanburgh Castle. Head to Craster, where you can sample the delights of a crab sandwich in the Jolly Fisherman, or pick up some kippers from Robson's famous smokery. There is so much to see and do in Northumberland, with Alnwick Castle and Gardens, Holy Island, Bamburgh, Warkworth and Berwick all within easy reach. These delightful cottages are perfect for a beachside Northumberland break.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

Embleton itself has a village pub and a local hotel, and there is an excellent range of amenities in nearby Alnwick.
