About this property
Comfy, spacious house, great base for couples and families, dogs welcome.
Located in the heart of the village of Embleton, our holiday house offers easy access to everything beautiful Northumberland has to offer.
The house is a 1 mile, safe and easy walk to the beach and Dunstanburgh Golf Course and 500 yards from the village centre. The house provides walkable access to the village shop, garage and playpark as well as the Dunstanburgh Castle Hotel, Grey’s Inn and the Sambuca Blue Bell.
Whether you have come to see the castles or build a sand one, cycle, golf, play, surf, walk or wild swim, the house is a great base from which to enjoy your holiday.
The house sleeps 5 and has 3 large upstairs bedrooms, one king, a twin and a single, and a family bathroom. All single beds are full size and bedding and towels are included although we ask that you bring your own beach and/or dog towels.
A travel cot is available and can fit comfortably into any of the bedrooms. We do not provide cot bedding as we feel little ones and carers settle more quickly with their own.
Downstairs our cosy living room leads into a small conservatory and out into the back garden. The living room is stocked with a selection of maps, books, wooden bricks and train track, jigsaws and board games along with a TV with access to a DVD player and Amazon Prime. WIFI connection is fast and included which keeps all ages happy!
Our well-equipped kitchen/diner has a walk-in pantry and fridge, a dishwasher, microwave, toaster and kettle, along with a smoothie maker and toastie maker (perfect for easy lunches and snacks after a day at the beach). The dining table comfortable seats 6 and a highchair can be provided.
The front door opens into a spacious hallway leading to the kitchen/diner and the living room. Our side door entrance leads off the drive into a tiled boot room and utility area with a washing machine and fridge/freezer and leads onto the downstairs toilet, boiler room and kitchen.
With off street parking for 2 cars, a front and back garden and an outside tap, the access to the house makes for easy loading and unloading from a day at the beach with sandy children, dogs, surf boards or golf gear.

About the host
Hosted by Liz O'Toole
I spent all my childhood holidays in Northumberland visiting grandparents and family. When we were able to provide the same opportunity for our children we jumped at the chance. It has been our holiday home for over 10 years and our 3 children have enjoyed almost all their school holidays here. As they head out into the world, we hope many other families will enjoy the house until we return, hopefully with another generation of our family.
Why they chose this property
The house provides a spacious and comfortable place to relax after a day of holiday activities. Embleton is a quiet and friendly village located a short distance away from the most popular and busy parts of Northumberland.
The house provides easy access on foot (or by car if you have lots of buckets and spades) to beautiful Embleton Bay with it's stunning views of Dunstanburgh Castle.
Embleton village offers a great deal under 1 mile from the house including a petrol station, a shop, restaurants, pubs and a fantastic play park which is a lovely place to spend time with children if they still have energy to burn.
