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.

The cottage was very clean and tidy on our arrival and it's location suited us. There were a few very minor niggles that I have reported to the owner and he has said he will look into these points. A note relevant to anyone looking to stay in early November: the cottage is about 200m from where the annual town bonfire is lit on 5 November (we didn't know this). Our dog, a timid border collie was terrified on this night; shaking and panting uncontrollably from the effects of the aerial bombs and flashes in the sky. This is the only reason I have given 4* - any other period and it would have been 5*. I have asked the owner if he will include a note in his property description to highlight the closeness of the property to the bonfire site.

The property was very hard to find, as the weather was atrocious and it was very dark when we arrived. There isn't a sign regarding the name of the cottage for anyone to follow, or lighting on the unmade road and driveway. This was very dangerous for me as I had to look on foot for the cottage. Because the drive was unlit the alternative footpath was not seen due to this being in the dark. The path needs lighting, also. However, there is one outside light attached to the house which lit the doorway only. Part of the gravel drive is on a slope and the gravel is loose and skiddy making it difficult for a car to drive on. Can I also suggest that the bathroom blind needs fixing - I realised when anyone goes to the bathroom at night other people from neighbouring cottages could see into the bathroom. We had to place a towel over the window. After this little moan, I am very happy to say that the cottage itself was very comfortable, warm, cozy, and like a home from home. The view is to die for and the beds were lovely and comfy. One other downside - we had to come home! We had a lovely time and would certainly visit again and recommend it to anyone. Thank you, Kind regards, Julie Firth

That must say something. Would like a steamer sauce pan. Upstairs east window needs cleaning. Needs a extending mop for cleaner to reach? Toilet flush and basin tap very stiff to opperate.
