“Lovely property, spotlessly clean, good quality furnishings & comfy beds.”

A great spot in Embleton, a couple of pubs nearby & a fab little shop in the village.

“We have been on annual holidays in Northumberland for the past20 years & we can honestly say this is the best property we have stayed in.”

The owners have literally thought of everything to make our visit memorable. Thank you! The welcome pack was unexpected but very much appreciated. Can NOT fault this property. Truely 5 star

Kenneth March 2023

“The cottage is in ideal location to explore the Northumberland area with so much to see and do on doorstep or in close vicinity.”

The cottage was one of the most well equipped properties we have ever stayed in and the owners went above and beyond to assist us during our stay. The garden is a proper sun trap. Would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again in the future.

“The bungalow property is absolutely fabulous and is in a great location.”

The property is only 5 years old, and to us, it seemed like a new showhome! It has been tastefully furnished and the bedding, towels etc are top quality.The air source heat pump used for central heating is very effective so the house is nice and warm in the coldest of weather. It has a lovely private south facing rear garden which will come into its own in the summer months. Also, the property owners are very thoughtful and have made available all sorts of books, guides, games, DVDs etc to make your stay more pleasurable - as well as a rather nice welcome pack. We will definitely return to The Haven!

Katherine October 2022

“This is a relatively new build property, beautifully appointed and the kitchen was well stocked with a variety of pans and trays.”

Lovely to see a property run so eco conscious with ASHP as alternative energy supply. Bedrooms of a good size and comfortable. One point to note that although this is on one floor it may not be appropriate for people with mobility issues - the bathrooms were gorgeous but there were no handles on the baths etc.

- Katherine, October 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We would like to point out for the benefit of future guests, that the en suite bathroom has a large walk in shower with only a small, approximately 2 inch step to get in, and we do provide non slip bath mats for both bathrooms.

“We have stayed in quite a few cottages now, but we all thought this was the one where we felt most at home.”

It’s got everything you need, great location for exploring. Brilliant back garden for children to play in. Just perfect.

- Samantha, October 2022
Kathryn September 2022

“The Haven is a wonderful property in a fantastic location.”

The Haven was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable with quality furnishings. The owners left a really nice welcome pack which was much appreciated and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and again all kitchen equipment was good quality and clean. The location was perfect for exploring the Northumberland coastline and the beach was within easy walking distance. We are hoping to book again for next year as 1 week was not long enough.

- Kathryn, September 2022
Laura August 2022

“We thought that this was an outstanding property .”

We were a little disappointed that we potentially couldn't gain access initially until 5pm but requested a text when we could gain entry and could do so after 3pm. Perhaps a similar offer could be made to others.

- Laura, August 2022
Liz June 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay - it was like being at a friend’s property.”

It was a good size, clean, well stocked and not littered with ‘must do’ instructions. There was private parking spaces for several cars. The Haven lived up to it’s name and was also well situated for touring Northumberland (and beyond).

- Liz, June 2022

Great setting and plenty of useful information .

- Sara, December 2021
Helen November 2021

“An excellent warm, quiet and comfortable bungalow, which, to be honest, we could not fault.”

The kitchen was very well equipped with utensils and crockery as if the owners expect visitors to cook at home regularly rather than eating out. The air flow heat pump surprised us by how efficient it was and whilst taking a little longer to heat up than a conventional system , achieved a comfortable heat throughout. There was good information about local places of interest, restaurants and services as well as about the household appliances. We would definitely think about returning next time we go back to Embleton.

- Helen, November 2021
Graham November 2021

“On arrival we very impressed with cleanliness, it’s location and it was well equipped.”

Would have no problem recommending this to others.

- Evelyn, October 2021
Lorna September 2021

“Everything was comfortable and the owners had thought of and met every need.”

Even torches supplied if you decided to walk to the pub at night. As a ninety year old with some mobility problems I was anxious at first but I needn't have worried, it was great.

- Lorna, September 2021
Shelley September 2021

“This is a fabulous home and we feel privileged to have stayed here.”

The owners where so helpful and had thought of every extra we could have needed. The welcome pack was much appreciated and we found the house spotlessly clean and tidy. The location is ideal, peaceful and quiet yet only a stroll away from the pubs, shops and bus stop. All in all a lovely home and we would love to return.

- Shelley, September 2021
Tricia August 2021

“Beautiful bungalow, high quality furnishings.”

Everything needed for a holiday in a fabulous location.

Julia June 2021

“This must be the best holiday home we've ever stayed in, and we've stayed in some very nice ones.”

It was like walking into a new home, spotlessly clean, superbly and comfortably furnished and equipped, bright and spacious and a pleasure to be in. The owners have given so much attention to small details, too. Maps and guide books, games and books, toiletries, everything you could need in the kitchen, large barbecue in the garden, children's beach toys etc etc. Embleton is a lovely little village to stay in, and just a short, easy walk - about 20 minutes - from the bungalow to Embleton Beach - a fantastic, scenic and sandy beach. There is a friendly local pub, and it's a great base for exploring other places, too. This is a great place to holiday in, lots to do and see, and we shall certainly return to The Haven!

- Julia, June 2021
Nicola May 2021

“We had a fabulous week at the Haven.”

Excellent location, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. We had a wonderful welcome pack on arrival tailored to our party. The owners have thought of everything. It was a real home from home. The cottage is a short stroll from the village and then on from there to the beach. It’s in a central location for visiting all the beautiful places along the Northumberland coastline. We will definitely be back!

- Nicola, May 2021
Catherine April 2021

“The Haven is in a great location for exploring the Northumbria coast.”

The village is quiet but has a hotel and 2 other pubs, a village shop and post office. The accommodation is modern, extremely clean very comfortable and well equipped. There is also a patio with furniture if you are staying in the warmer weather, however we were not lucky enough to enjoy this time. But we will definitely be looking to book this property again as we were very impressed with it overall. A nice touch with the welcome basket which was appreciated.

- Catherine, April 2021
Colette April 2021

“The Haven is a beautiful property in a lovely village.”

Property spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and had everything we needed for a fabulous stay. The owners have thought of everything. Thank you for the welcome pack and the lemon drizzle cake, it was delicious. I would thoroughly recommend the property and the area....

- Colette, April 2021
Michelle April 2021

“Very comfortable, clean and peaceful holiday home.”

The property had everything we needed for our break, The owners left an activity book for our daughter, which was a nice touch, and some biscuits and prosecco for the adults . The property was a short walk to a pub / shop. Embleton village had a children’s playground, which our 9 year old enjoyed. The beach, which was stunning , was about 1 mile away. Would recommend the property without hesitation.

- Michelle, April 2021

Sally September 2020

“This cottage definitely exceeded our expectations, the photo's do not do it justice.”

In a fabulous area, lovely estate right opposite the sea. So clean & all the little extra touches were so lovely. A home from home. I would recommend to anyone!

- Sally, September 2020
Victoria August 2020

“Beautiful holiday cottage in a superb location.”

Absolutely everything was thought of (even down to colouring books, stickers and colours for the kids!) and the loveliest welcome basket. Everything was pristine.

- Victoria, August 2020
Lee July 2020

“We love the Haven!”

! It’s our second visit and it was as lovely, clean and bright as we remembered. We stayed for 2 weeks and it’s the perfect base in beautiful Embleton. Thoughtful welcome basket, well equipped kitchen, nice and clean bedrooms and in these strange Covid-19 times we were extra pleased to see hand gel, antiseptic sprays etc available in the house, we felt really well looked after. We’re 2 adults and 3 kids and highly recommend the Haven.

- Lee, July 2020
David January 2020

“One of the best bungalows we have being to as soon as you enter the front door you can see how well the lay out is easy walk to the pub and shop hope to return and have a longer holiday only one thing we found that was the heating either it was on or off that's what we thought.”

- David, January 2020

Thank you for your feedback. As a result of your comments about the heating we checked the settings on the heating and found that they had, unbeknown to us, been altered somehow. As you pointed out the heating would have appeared to have been on or off, as the morning settings had been turned off and the afternoon/ evening temperature was set very high. We have now reset the time and temperature settings and would not expect further problems. We would like to inform guests that if they have any problems whilst staying at The Haven we are happy for them to contact us on the emergency contact details in the information folder and we will then have the opportunity to rectify the problem at the time.

“The bungalow was absolutely brilliant.”

It was spotlessly clean. Everything you could possibly need, even an apron! Well positioned to explore Northumberland. Best holiday cottage I’ve ever stayed in. Lovely and warm too. Thank you for the use of the garage. My husband took his classic motorcycle and it was extremely useful to be able to park in the garage. Would recommend The Haven to anyone. In fact I already have!

- Diane, December 2019
Colin November 2019

“The accommodation was perfect for us.”

We wanted a property that could accommodate our family, and it did that in style and comfort. Three good size bedrooms, the main having its own en-suite and the lounge was big enough for all of us to be able to relax in the evening while watching television . The property was in a great spot in a lovely little village with a homely local pub and also a very nice hotel with a bar and a great menu - fish and chips highly recommended. The location also really convenient for visiting a number of the castles and towns. If we go back to this part of Northumberland in the future we would definitely choose this property again.

- Colin, November 2019

Adrian August 2019

“The bungalow was perfect.”

We had a lovely comfortable stay. Everything was as stated and more with a welcome pack and even a game for the grandchildren as a momento of our stay. Embleton is well placed for visiting the surrounding area, with a good beach coastline and places like Amble, Berwick and Alnwick etc.

- Adrian, August 2019
Janine July 2019

“We all had a fantastic week staying at The Haven.”

The property is even better than the photos, we were all very impressed. Everything was of a high standard and the owners have thought of everything to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The beach is one of the best in Northumberland and only a 20 minute walk from the property

- Janine, July 2019
Heather June 2019

“The Haven is an excellent, modern, well equipped property, extremely comfortable and spacious and located about 5 minutes walk from the centre of Embleton village.”

The owner helpfully contacted us before our stay to enquire about any special requirements, including for our 15 month old grandchild and thoughtfully provided a new toy for him on our arrival. The lovely welcome pack was very much appreciated and showed the owner’s attention to detail. The use of the secure garage space was also useful for storing the pram, road bike etc. and the level, open space in the property and garden allowed our grandson to explore and practise his new walking skills in a very safe environment. And the sun shone all week. We had a wonderful time and will be visiting again.

“We had a fabulous week at the Haven!”

Lovely thoughtful welcome basket on arrival, clean and very comfortable accommodation, lots of board games and garden games for the kids to play with, and very well equipped kitchen. Location is brilliant, easy to walk to the beach/ playground, and only a short drive from Seahouses (great horseriding!) and several other gorgeous villages and beaches. Def 5 star and would highly recommend.

Joyce March 2019

“This has to be absolutely one of the best Northumbrian holiday homes we have stayed in: just a joy with everything thought of, extremely comfortable and exceedingly clean.”

The Haven is very well positioned in the charming village of Embleton and close to the lovely coastal route with Warkworth, Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh castles nearby. Glorious beaches, quiet roads, numerous great eating places abound. However, if you prefer more ‘biz’ then Seahouses beckons with its amusement arcades, fish & chip shops and trips to the Farne Islands for bird & seal watching. Many National Trust properties to visit, should the weather be inclement and Morpeth and Newcastle close-by for retail therapy. The Haven is well-named and with three bedrooms and en-suite + family bathroom very suitable for parties of six, or equally good just for two. Can’t wait to return.

- Joyce, March 2019
Sue March 2019

“Immaculate cottage and well placed to see this area of Northumberland with the added benefit of a shop and 3 pubs/ restaurants within a 10minute walk.”

- Sue, March 2019
Karen February 2019

“A holiday house that felt more like a home.”

Everything had been thought of, from night lights to cooking oil, board games to shampoo. The house had everything we needed and more!! A perfect location for exploring our favourite beaches and seaside villages. We will definitely book again.

- Karen, February 2019

Lucy November 2018

“We were kept upto date with emails which was great.”

This holiday home is fantastic , really lovely home with excellent facilities. The owners couldn’t have added anything else they have thought of everything and even gifts for our children. We would love to return.

- Lucy, November 2018
Margaret October 2018

“The Haven is so aptly named.”

The interior of the bungalow has real ‘wow’ factor - the decor and furnishings are of a very high standard and there is everything there for your comfort. It is so well equipped. The welcome in the information folder and the welcome pack of goodies made us feel immediately that the owners really wanted us to enjoy our break. The bungalow is in a great spot and is easy access to Alnwick, Craster and other lovely coastal spots. The village has a good hotel, five minutes up the road, that serves nice food if you don’t want to eat in or drive out to eat. The break was enhanced by observing a little owl that had taken up residence on a neighbouring roof - our own Autumn Watch. I would highly recommend this property.

- Margaret, October 2018
Peter September 2018

“Never been to this part of the world before and to have such a lovely place to ...”

Never been to this part of the world before and to have such a lovely place to stay is a bonus and we did enjoy the coast and castles as well as the friendly people, ten out of ten

“Magnificent cottage!”

Everything is clean and perfectly laid out. Great location, very close to Embleton beach which is just astonishingly beautiful. The owner was very helpful and thoughtful. Prepared toys for our kids in advance and posted my daughter's school books back to us which were left in the cottage. Highly recommend!
