Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.
The cottage's location is praised for being perfect for exploring the Northumberland coast and having good access to the beach and local village, indicating a high level of satisfaction among guests.
Guests find the cottage well-equipped and comfortable, though some noted that the bedrooms could get stuffy and the mirrors were placed too high. The pool's accessibility was a concern for a guest with arthritis.
The swimming pool and hot tub are highlights, with guests enjoying private sessions. However, there are comments about the need for better steps into the pool and a more robust clothes airer, suggesting room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
The provision of welcome foods suggests thoughtfulness on the part of the host. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, this should be considered a pleasant addition rather than an expectation.

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.
