The countryside surrounding this traditional village is a joy to explore, with woodland walks, breathtaking hilltop views and ancient ruins. Take a stroll from your holiday cottage in Embleton and you will discover a peaceful community which time seems to have forgotten. In the middle of the village there is a grocery, a village hall and a pele tower and former vicarage known as Embleton Tower. Nearby, an old water pump stands on a pretty green next to Holy Trinity Church. For a pint of local ale, head to the Grey’s Inn, a lively pub specialising in classic dishes such as steak and ale pie and fish and chips. A few doors along, the Bluebell Inn has a reputation for serving some of the region’s best Italian food.
Within the stone walls of this luxury, Northumberland coast cottage lie vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and rural charm married with luxury finishes. Croft Cottage offers two bedrooms of contemporary style and undeniable comfort near Newton-by-the-Sea and North East Heritage Coast attractions.

Half a mile from the village, Embleton Bay is a glorious stretch of sand backed by a maze of dunes which are alive with bluebells and cowslip in spring. Search the rockpools for crabs at low tide, take an invigorating swim in the sea or while away an afternoon exploring this wonderfully unspoiled stretch of coast. At the southern end of the beach, the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle perch on a craggy headland overlooking the waves. Nearby, Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Club has one of the area’s best courses, created by the renowned course architect James Braid.
