About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

A lovely, warm and comfortable property. The owners have made every effort to make the house a lovely place to stay. The kitchen was very well stocked and I loved the fact there were things like dishwasher tablets and bathroom supplies, we’ve stayed in so many places where we’ve not been so lucky! The village is quiet and the walk to the fantastic beach is an easy 20 walk along a footpath past the golf club. Turn left along the beach for the fabulous Ship Inn in Low Newton or right for Dunstanburgh Castle. We’d also recommend the Jolly Fisherman in Craster for lunch it has a lovely outside space overlooking the sea.

Lovely short break a nice house

An excellent four days. The house is roomy and furniture very comfortable. Parking in the drive was easy. Well stocked kitchen - pans, crockery, cutlery etc. The attractive village and two very diverse but excellent pubs serving food are a short walk from the house.Liz was an excellent communicator responding quickly with answers to questions. She has provided plenty of information about how things work in the house. Would recommend. Thanks Liz.

Great Hiday Home

We visited Driftwood for a long weekend. This was a really comfortable, well set up holiday home. Very well equipped, loads of games and puzzles, lots of beach’s equipment too. Embleton is a perfect base for exploring the area and is only about a 20 minute walk to the beach. From there you can of course walk for mikes and miles in either direction. 10/10

Home from home

Nice house, central for all the places we wanted to visit. Plenty of space for family of 4 adults. Well equipped, nice little touches (hand wash/WU liquid/Washing powder, etc.) Lovely comfortable beds and clean, crisp bedding. Only downside was the smell of dogs downstairs and on occasions noisy neighbours (raised voices) Feel the carpets would benefit from a deep clean. We would happily book for another stay.

Lovely home in great location for exploring Northumberland

One of the best equipped and homely homes we've stayed in. There was everything you could need and lots of homely touches. A great base for exploring the area, in easy driving distance of many sights. Very comfortable beds and plenty of room for a family of 5. Only minor thing was we had to wash a lot of the dishes and cutlery etc before use, but that was probably down to previous occupants not cleaning dishes properly. It wasn't a big problem though and we would definitely recommend
