A glorious wide sandy beach that stretches for miles, with the majestic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle as a backdrop – your first sight of Embleton Bay is not one you’ll forget in a hurry! Book a holiday cottage in Embleton and see what made this Countryfile’s best beach in 2017.

Accessed by the Northumberland Coastal Route, which winds around the coastline, Embleton is a must on any exploration of this beautiful area. White painted fisherman’s cottages, a picturesque medieval village, and a stunning beach that is quiet, safe for families, and yet also great for watersports, make this the perfect destination.

All of that sea air can make you thirsty! So why not enjoy a pint from the microbrewery, based at the nearby Ship Inn. Your Embleton holiday cottage will provide the perfect base for Northumberland adventures – it is in easy reach of Alnwick, Bamburgh and Warkworth.
