Overview
Property code: OC-CN156

This cottage has everything you need for a cosy retreat in the countryside. Situated close to the sea, the coastal villages of Bamburgh, Beadnell and Alnmouth make great days out for you and your loved ones. There is also a dog friendly café round the corner from the property which is ideal for you and your furry friends to visit. The property itself welcomes up to six guests plus the option to bring along your four-legged friend, so no one gets to miss out on the adventures. With a slide in the garden and table football inside, there is plenty of fun to be had at the property as well.

Set over two floors, the upstairs of this property is where you’ll find the three bedrooms which all offer fantastic views out to the countryside. The bathroom, complete with bath and separate shower, can be found on the first floor, too. Downstairs, the large lounge/diner area is a great social space. Relax into the comfortable sofas or pull up a chair and enjoy a glass of red in front of the wood burner. The traditional kitchen area, complete with contemporary features, is perfect for rustling up an evening meal. After dinner, enjoy a bit of competitive fun with the table football or venture outside to the picnic bench to soak up the last of the evening sunshine.

Embleton, 4 miles away, is home to Embleton Bay, a long stretch of golden sandy beach overlooked by Dunstanburgh Castle. Enjoy throwing sticks through the dunes before heading to the village’s dog-friendly pub for a bite to eat or a refreshing drink. Seahouses harbour (10 miles) and is a great spot to sit and watch the boats. A boat from here will take you to the Farne Islands, a great day out for animal lovers as the island is home to a variety of bird and seal colonies.

This was a perfect stop for us with small children, handy to Alnwick and many beaches we didnt spend long at the property, but the small confined garden with a childrens slide and childrens games in the property were greatly appreciated.

This is a great base for a Northumberland holiday. The cottage is really good for a family, without being luxurious. The weather was cold but the house was cosy with the log burner and good central heating. The location is good but there are not really good walks there, so we were in and out of the car quite a bit, but we expected that.

Very slippy wooden floor. My wife and I both slipped over. Many problems with doors. You need to be super strong to open and close front door. We had no warning the tap water was from spring, hence bottle water was needed. Induction hob would be too confusing for most people.

This cottage provides a good, unpretentious base for anyone travelling to the area with dogs and/ or children. It is located some distance from Embleton and any beaches, so a car is essential. However, there is a good, secure garden, and the pleasant Rocking Horse Cafe is only a short walk away. The owners were helpful when a query was raised aboutRead more additional parking. Visitors should be aware that there is no mains water so drinking water has to be from bottles. Hide

Front door lock faulty. Shower unsafe. No appliance booklets left in folder, we couldn't work the oven. Outer toilet blocks easily. You need to take passwords for your own Netflix etc, I couldn't make the tv work. Bit chilly for us, unable to adjust heating without contacting the owners, same with hot water. My autistic grandson regulates with bathRead mores so a worry. House clean, plenty of crockery for us three. Enclosed garden good for the dogs. Wouldn't go again. Hide

Great location and walks from the door a real bonus. Bed was so comfortable with luxury bedding. Downstairs furniture also very comfortable. Once hedge cut in back garden the view was amazing, beautiful views across open countryside can be seen from upstairs. Had everything you needed to make meals. So peaceful, had a wonderful stay.

Great base for exploring Northumberland. Cottage clean and had everything you needed, although some of the equipment needed upgrading. However did not spoil our experience. Recommendations: Mumbai Indian restaurant in Alnwick. Dirty Bottles pub in Alnwick, did not eat here but menu looked good. Craster Arms pub in Beadnell, good food. Di Spori ItalRead moreian in Alnwick. Book restaurants in advance as very busy in peak periods. Embleton beach but get there early as parking is very busy. Hide

Picture of front of house needs updating. The bed layout in the middle bedroom means you have to climb over the beds to get to the window, really should be a single or have bunkbeds. Neither of the toilets have washbasins (although hand sanitiser is provided), the upstairs toilet is at the opposite end of the landing to the bathroom, so you have waRead morelk past the bedrooms to get from one to the other, something to consider if you have light sleepers staying. The dishwasher wasn't working properly. Hide

On arrival, disappointed to find that the cottage hadn't had a proper clean. The cottage really needs some TLC but perhaps this will happen once the building works are finished. Location is good and The Rocking Horse cafe is just along the road, great food and dog friendly. Low Newton beach lovely for walking the dogs in the evening.
