Heron Cottage is a charming period property in the heart of Embleton village, perfect for families seeking a high-quality self-catering holiday. The holiday cottage accommodates 4 to 5 guests in three beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a spacious main bedroom with a king-size bed, a comfortable small double room, and a single bedroom with built-in storage. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area are designed for relaxation and entertainment, and there is also a separate lounge with log burner, ideal for cosy evenings. With a patio area and lawn at the back, guests can also enjoy outdoor dining or unwind in the garden after a day of exploring the area. The village has a couple of great pubs, including the Dunstanburgh Castle Hotel and The Grey’s Inn, both offering delicious food and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. The nearby Village Farm Shop is a gem for picking up fresh, local produce, and it is perfect for creating a meal to enjoy back at Heron Cottage.
Embleton village is rich in history and known for its Norman church and scenic beauty. The beach at Embleton Bay, just a 10-15 minute walk from the cottage, is one of the most stunning in the UK, often hailed as the best by both Countryfile viewers and Mumsnet. The golden sands stretch for miles along the England Coastal Path, providing ample space for beach games, paddling, or simply relaxing with a good book. For those who love a bit of history, the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle are an iconic sight along the coast.
Exploring beyond Embleton, the Northumberland coast offers an array of fantastic day trips. Low Newton is just a short walk along the beach, home to the famous Ship Inn with its microbrewery and birdwatching opportunities at the nearby nature reserve. A bit further afield, Alnwick Castle and Gardens, known for their links to the Harry Potter films, are a must-visit, along with Lilidorei, the world’s largest children’s playground. For more history, Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island (Lindisfarne) provide fascinating insights into Northumberland’s rich past. Meanwhile, nature lovers will enjoy boat trips from Seahouses to the Farne Islands, where you can spot puffins, seals, and other wildlife. Heron Cottage’s ideal location makes it a perfect base to explore all the wonderful attractions this beautiful part of Northumberland has to offer.
