“Beachward felt like home from home, so cosy and comfortable with everything that you could possibly need for a holiday by the sea.”

The location is fantastic, five minutes walk from one of the best beaches in the country. Also dog friendly, can’t recommend highly enough, we will be back!

“Had a fantastic week at Beachward.”

It's location is perfect for some great coastal walks and the beach at Embleton Bay. The cottage itself is very comfortable and well-appointed and Katja is an excellent host. Highly recommended.

Derek May 2024

“Great cottage and fantastic location.”

The only minor detail from us would be that the main bedroom mattress should be firmer. We had a lovely short break!!

“Wonderful cottage in an amazing location!”

Our second visit to this great cottage and it won’t be our last. Since we were there is January Katja has had a fabulous new kitchen fitted and the view down to the sea seems even more spectacular. Located only minutes from the very beautiful Embleton beach. Great place to stay and lots of dog friendly walks right from the doorstep.

“Katja was an amazing host.”

The cottage is great. Exactly as described The location is fantastic. A slightly bigger bed would just make this cottage 100% perfect!!

Carolyn January 2024

“Fantastic cottage with fabulous views in an amazing location!”

Great shower, comfy bed, cosy lamps, super wood burner and only a few minutes walk from stunning Embleton beach. Watching the sun rise behind Dunstanburgh Castle, truly magical! We’ve already booked our next trip. Thank you for everything Katja!

Julie January 2024

“A lovely, cosy cottage in a fantastic setting.”

We took the dog for a few days away and couldn’t have hit on a better place. Everything we needed was in the cottage and there was easy access to the beach. It can be frustrating when the house rules say no dogs in certain rooms with no way to really enforce it but in this case the doors all latched properly so we had no problem at all. Highly recommend

“The cottage was cosy and comfortable.”

It was smaller than we thought and if there were 4 people there wasn’t a lot of storage room especially in the small bedroom. We used this bedroom for our clothes. The location is amazing fabulous beach and walks from the doorstep.
