Overview
Property code: OC-COQ89

This beautiful, traditional, red-brick cottage boasting a large garden, southern outlook and stunning coastal location in Embleton is the ultimate coastal escape, perfect for a memory-making break with family and friends. Located on the coastal route through Northumberland, the seaside village of Embleton is home to the iconic Embleton Bay, 1.5 miles away – it’s a gloriously wide sandy beach that seems to stretch for miles into the distance, popular with keen walkers and water sports enthusiasts alike. The majestic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle provide the dramatic backdrop to this gorgeous bay. Get to know the local coastline even better by visiting Budle Bay, Low Newton-by-the-Sea or Craster, which are all reached within 11 miles. The harbourside village of Seahouses, 7.5 miles away, offers boat trips to the Farne Islands, a haven for wildlife enthusiasts.

From the welcoming entrance hallway, follow the warmth of the roaring wood burner into the cosy lounge, which boasts a wonderfully relaxing ambience, featuring a charming earthy colour palette, and overlooks the pretty front garden out of the lovely large window. Looking out to the sociable sunroom, the charming farmhouse-style kitchen provides everything you need to whip up meals that can be enjoyed seated around the contemporary dining table. This dining space is nestled beneath a wonderful glass ceiling in the sunroom; a large set of French doors to the garden creates a lovely sense of al fresco living. The handy utility room, contemporary shower room and delightful king-size bedroom enjoying lovely views over the garden are a welcome addition to the ground floor. There are a further three bedrooms upstairs, one king-size, one double and one bunk bedroom (suitable for children aged 12 and under only), that all share the same peaceful atmosphere as the rest of the delightful retreat.

The pretty front garden has been thoughtfully planted and makes a lovely entrance to the cottage. The large, enclosed rear garden is a true delight, boasting a large lawn, picnic bench, outdoor dining furniture and a gas BBQ, perfect for entertaining. At the end of the garden sits a pretty summerhouse, with games and extra undercover seating. Outside, you’ll also find private parking for two cars, with additional on-street parking further down the quiet residential street, subject to availability.

Just had a week at Tern Cottage. Really lovely, well equipped and beautifully decorated and furnished. The kitchen diner is a great light space to chill and play games. Utility room and side door was brilliant if you have dogs to keep them away from carpeted areas. Beds and bedding really comfortable, toiletries smelt lovely. Lots of touches. GreaRead moret location too for beaches and walks and pubs. Highly recommend. Hide

I would recommend this property. The village is ideally located for the beach and for travel to lovely towns. The property is comfortable and clean. Ideal for a family and our dogs were made to feel very welcome.

We just returned from a very warm July week at Tern Cottage. We benefitted from this being a relatively new rental with super comfy new mattresses, stylish velvet sofas and a lovely tiled floor in the large rear kitchen/dining/dayroom area. The kitchen was well equipped although I wouldn't like to cook for 8 with only a slimline dishwasher. Great Read morenew oven with rapid heating and airfry mode and a good big fridge. The welcome pack was appreciated. Although you know it's covered in the overall pricing, it still takes effort and enables you to arrive and settle in with a cuppa or cold drink. Having rented a house in May with no comfortable outdoor furniture, we really appreciated the comfortable table and chairs with a big parasol. We didn't use the gas BBQ as it appeared checking this was clean enough might not have been in the cleaner's remit. The big rear garden was amazing for a sunny week and our dog loved that it was long enough to chase a ball. This also makes it perfect for families. This was our first time staying in Embleton and we loved it - a well-stocked village shop, hotel/bar with great beer garden and a smaller locals pub which came highly recommended for food too. Plenty for one week without having to stray too far. Hide
