Lovely big bay windows, high ceilings, gorgeous original fireplaces and plenty of comfy beds and seating for our party of 10. Nice selection of board games and DVDs. Well equipped kitchen. Wonderful views of the sea, farmland, wildlife and the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. Embleton is a charming village and the beach is spectacular. Very tastefully and comfortably decorated, a nice blend of traditional style and modern comforts. Definitely want to stay again!
