About this property
Overlooking the beautiful coast of Embleton, Fidra is a quaint stone house, ideal for a family, with easy access to the local beach and other amenities along the Northumberland coast. Be welcomed by this pretty property and park off-road beside a lovely grass garden with a picnic bench, ideal for breakfast in the fresh air. Upon entry you will find the living areas on the first-floor to maximise the views, beginning with a spacious sitting room with several stylish sofas, armchairs and a brilliant view of the coast through glass sliding doors. The sitting area ia accompanied by a stylish wooden dining table complementing the black leather of the sofas and there is an amply filled kitchen where you can cook up a storm. As well as a ground-floor bathroom, the three bedrooms all rest on the ground floor, each with storage and a homely feel, including a double and two twins. Embleton is a stunning location offering a magnificent sandy beach, where you can spend a day enjoying sandy walks and watersports amongst the waves, taking a picnic featuring local produce. More walks can be found at Embleton Quarry Nature Reserve, the historic Howick Hall Gardens & Arboretum and of course the stunning Northumberland Coastal Path. Embleton has a great selection of eateries, and a little further from the property you can explore the fascinating ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. Make a seaside holiday to remember with a stay at Fidra.
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.

The views are second to none, and the location is what we come for. The cottage is comfortable and the perfect home for us with two children.

Some of the facilities are definitely showing signs of wear. I would recommend bringing your own frying pan, spatula & oven gloves as the ones provided are very worn. As mentioned in other reviews there are no small saucepans. One other point to noteâ¦there is a short steep track that leads up hill into the large walled courtyard where the properties are located, we couldnât get up the track in snow & had to park on the road. Overall we had a great time & would stay there again

The directions could be better as doent point out that you need to go though the stone gateway as no name outside. This may sound petty but every single holiday we have there is always a little welcome gift and we were disappointed. It is in a great place, very comfortable with lovely views.
