“Stunning cottage, with gorgeous garden, lots of thoughtful little extras, loved feeding the birds and recording our sightings.”

THe only negative for us was it was too mild to have the log burner on, however the settings for the heating, which we couldnt control meant the heating kicked in at 6am ..and was quite noisy ..and shut down late afternoon..which meant the house was a bit chilly...maybe just needs tweaking after the clocks going back

“A warm, welcoming, comfy, cosy and clean cottage.”

We were welcomed with a plate of delicious chocolate buns. West End Cottage is obviously a much loved family property with the owners doing everything to give their guests the best experience. The bed was exceptionally comfy, I had the best nights for as long as I can remember! The garden is lovely and we hope to return at a time of year where we can enjoy sitting out in it!

“A beautiful cottage with many provisions and extras that wasn’t expected, including scrummy chocolate cake.”

One small personal issue is that the single chair be replaced with a more comfortable chair as it was hard to get in and out of with it being a rocker but overall would highly recommend the cottage with the lovely enclosed walled garden and we made full use of the woodburner which added a lovely ambience to the lounge on an evening. The village had everything we needed, pubs shops and a beach over the hill and is brilliantly placed for exploring the beautiful coast and towns of the area and most importantly very dog friendly. We were able to go in all the pubs restaurants and cafes and the Dunstan Castle hotel in the village had a separate lounge and restaurant as well as an area in the bar for dogs. This is a game changer when you take your pets on holiday. We will definitely return in the future

We had a brilliant stay at your cottage loved visiting the surrounding area the beach was easy to get to and what a fantastic beach it is our two dogs loved their daily walks on the beach

“Thought this cottage was really lovely with delightful garden.”

Location was excellent for main local attractions, situated in nice village with good pubs and convenience store. The cottage itself was very well equipped and very comfortable. We were left delicious welcoming gifts! Our only adverse comment is that the bathroom is a little way from the bedroom, especially when you are used to an en-suite - but appreciate there is nothing you can do about that.

“A charming traditional stone building cottage with a lovely garden to enjoy your breakfasts outside - accompanied by a squadron of friendly sparrows.”

Compact galley kitchen with a comprehensive range of equipment. Walk in shower with an amazing pressure - blew the fluff out of my navel with no problem!! Comfy large bed - accepted my 6ft 4 inch height with no problem - being tall I had to be aware of the low doorways in the cottage. The Wi-Fi password is on the rear of the router. Upon our arrival we found a very large strawberry cream cake & bottle of milk in the fridge - bang went my diet! Also a lovely homemade jar of strawberry jam & large box of mixed biscuits / coffee's / tea's etc. On the dining table was a delightful vase of freshly cut flowers from the cottage garden. A note had been left of the ingredients of the cake & the jam for anyone with dietary concerns - which reflects just how thoughtful & kind the owners are. On the kitchen calendar - a note had been left for an RNLI event at Craster - which we thoroughly enjoyed & supported. Coincidentally my partner had very recently played in her steel band supporting the Cullercoats RNLI fund raising event. I have been coming to Northumberland since the 1970s - so much to do & explore. We had a delightful stay at this charming West End Cottage. Many thanks, Claire & David

“This cottage has everything you could possibly need.”

Thoughtful touches throughout mean that your stay is completely comfortable. The welcome pack means you can have a cup of tea and a slice of delicious cake upon arrival, something we have never had elsewhere. A wonderful place to stay to explore the Northumberland coastline.

- Karen, August 2024
Catherine July 2024

“An exceedingly comfortable and well appointed cottage-quite possibly the best we’ve ever stayed in, in 20+ years of holidaying in cottages.”

Lovely enclosed garden, and great location for visiting the Northumberland coast.

- Catherine, July 2024
Karen July 2024

Anthony July 2024

“We love this cottage, our second visit and perfect for us.”

As soon as you open the door you feel at home. Cosy and comfortable with a perfect garden for the dog. The bed is so comfortable in the large bedroom and the shower is fabulous. It's a short walk to the lovely little village shop and a longer walk to the most beautiful beach. It restores your soul

- Anthony, July 2024
Rebecca June 2024

“The cottage was really lovely.”

Catered for our every need and the garden was beautiful and totally safe for our two dogs. We will definitely stay there again.

“We had an excellent holiday in this lovely cottage.”

The welcome cake was very welcome and the cottage was beautifully presented. We had a very comfortable stay and were very lucky with the weather. Found plenty of places locally for excellent food.

“Second time in this lovely, cosy, peaceful cottage.”

Everything you need is provided (including a fabulous welcome pack) and on a wet day the cottage is perfect for just hunkering down.

- Mike, March 2024
Sally-anne March 2024

“Lovely cottage, couldn't ask for more, great facilities, bed very comfy too which is always great to know.”

Grays Inn, dog friendly and great beers too all within staggering distance

- Sally-anne, March 2024
Anne February 2024

“We very much enjoyed out stay Much appreciated all the extras and flowers.”

The garden extremely safe for our dog and the birds were a delight to watch. It was good to be in easy reach of shop for morning paper. The beach would be within walking distance for those younger and fitter than us but we drove and found parking easy. We and dog loved our walks there The kitchen is tight but now we know that we can cope in future. A more comfy armchair would be an asset. We will return for sure.

“Beautiful cottage with everything we needed both inside and outside.”

The enclosed garden was a plus also. Thank you.

Simon February 2024

“3 days short break in Embleton, staying for the first time in West End Cottage.”

Ideally situated in the heart of the village just a minute or so from Dunstanburgh Castle Hotel. The cottage is cosy and the bed is comfortable, we slept very well. Log burner was so welcoming along with the lovely homemade chocolate cake and fudge. Ate most of it and took the rest home with us! Have already booked in for a week in the summer at West End Cottage, looking forward to it!

- Simon, February 2024
Jackie February 2024

“Can see some good changes made since we stayed here last year .”

The heating system has been changed and the cottage was much warmer. Great welcome pack ! Only thing gate catch needs some attention . Great stay ! Will be back next year !!

Heidi December 2023

“Excellent cottage, in a quiet village.”

My husband and 2 dogs stayed over New Year. Safe enclosed rear garden, so did not worry about the dogs. Nice touches from the owners, welcome pack, treats for the dogs, even a dog bowl and bed. All aspects of washing catered for e.g washer and dishwasher tablets and liquid and cloths. Very clean, cosy and warm. The only thing you need to bring are extra towels if staying longer than a couple of nights, 2 provided at property. Very good information folders for the property and the area. Highly recommend

- Heidi, December 2023
Karen November 2023

“We had a great stay again at West End Cottage and we love the personal touches and would like to thank Heather Myles and Sally for making their cottage so special.”

We will be staying in the future.

Gary October 2023

“This was our second stay at West End Cottage.”

A great base to explore the area and return to on an evening. The cottage is cosy and well equipped and came with a great welcome pack. Nice secure garden for the dog. If you find the roast potatoes in the freezer that was us! Please use them...

- Gary, October 2023
Fiona October 2023

“A lovely cottage and we appreciated the extras such as coffee, tea, kitchen roll, cling film, foil, fresh flowers and books.”

Very comfortable once we worked out how to boost the heating, as there were no instructions. Nice big bedroom and comfortable bed. Enclosed garden for dog. Well equipped kitchen. A tumble drier would have been a help. The only drawback was the height of the door lintels. My husband is 6ft 4in and had to remember to duck!

- Fiona, October 2023
Clive September 2023

“West End Cottage was lovely.”

It had everything we needed, was cosy and comfortable and lovely and warm. It's a great base to explore Northumberland.

- Clive, September 2023
Anthony September 2023

“We loved the property and its location.”

Easy walking to the beautiful beach. Garden was great for our dog. Bed was very comfortable. Plenty of information available. Everything you might need- even a hot water bottle in the bedroom. Only very slight niggle, difficult to lock the back door from the inside. Main gate is difficult to lift and fasten. But we loved it here and intend to come back

- Anthony, September 2023
Pete August 2023

“A fabulous cottage for the two of us and the dogs.”

The kitchen is small but well equipped but the rest of the accommodation is fantastic, good sized living room and big bedroom with plenty of storage. Good secure outside space, only criticism is that a BBQ would be welcome. Embleton is a beautiful village with a good pub, the hotel and easy access to the coastal path. Highly recommend.

- Pete, August 2023
Graham July 2023

“This was our first cottage holiday and we were impressed with the way it was equipped,even down to the welcoming cake and card.”

However it could have been a little cleaner,dusty and cobwebs in all the rooms,which we soon sorted and it did not spoil our holiday. The location was perfect for the places we planned to visit.

- Graham, July 2023
Tim July 2023

“A beautiful snug cottage in a lovely village with 1km to beach and short drives north to Beadnell, Seahouses and Bambrugh, south to Craster and Alnmouth and west to Alnwick.”

We used the bus from the village to allow one way walks on the beautiful coast path. The cottage has a good sized enclosed back garden which was great for our dog and off road parking at the side of the cottage. Kitchen was well equipped with a welcome pack of home made cake, home made jam, fresh milk, tea coffee and biscuits and a cleaning pack. Bed was comfortable and cottage had character and lovely wood burner stove. Slight downside is that the shower and toilet are off the kitchen but we got used to that.

- Tim, July 2023
Roger July 2023

“This was the best appointed cottage of the many we have stayed at in the past.”

The hotel can be fully recommended for its food and dog friendliness as was the cottage. The cake and jam were very welcome and were excellent. It would be helpful if the main gate hinges could be adjusted as lifting the gate to close the bold was awkward.

- Roger, July 2023
Roy July 2023

“Because of multiple travel problems we arrived in darkness.”

It took us 30 minutes in the pitch black to locate the cottage as the font of the nameplate was not helpful. A more exact location of the cottage would have been helpful. Otherwise the cottage and our stay was excellent.

- Roy, July 2023
Christopher June 2023

“Great cottage is in a lovely location close to plenty of local amenities and plenty of information left for us.”

Great private back garden which is a lovely sun trap. For us we would of liked some comfy garden furniture i.e. rattan to relax on as the table and chair's not really laze in the sun furniture. Apart from that absolutely fantastic and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Many thanks Scott & Jan

Bron May 2023

“A lovely, comfortable cottage with personal touches added from the owners.”

Mike April 2023

“A lovely cottage in a lovely location.”

The living area is spacious and comfortable, the kitchen has everything needed for "proper" self catering and the bedroom is huge with a comy bed - only the birds disturbed us. Nicely furnished, probably close to needing a freshen up of decor but minor. Would definitely recommend!

- Mike, April 2023
Neil February 2023

“Lovely house, perfect for us and our hound…Good size and all we needed with a nice enclosed garden and always welcomed at the Greys Inn…he was spoilt rotten…10 min walk to the beach….”

Perfect…. Would have scored it all 5’s but Unfortunately there was a fault with the Nest heating but Myles the owner took personal responsibility to rectify calling and coming to the house. Would recommend and stay again.

- Neil, February 2023
Christine February 2023

“Lovely, comfortable cottage.”

It was our second visit and we would definitely go back again. It would have been helpful to have instructions on how to use the Nest central heating controls especially in winter and there was no starter pack provided for the stove. Refuse collection timetable needs updating. The vacuum cleaner was not very efficient and cut out after only 5 minutes even though it was fully charged.

- Christine, February 2023
Caroline December 2022

“Fantastic cottage - we could live here!”

Lovely to stay here for Christmas. We love the area which is why we chose to stay here. It never fails. Dogs loved the 18 mile beach walks everyday. Just one downside was the heating - it rarely came on and when it did it wasn't warm enough to keep the place warm. We managed to get around this by using the log burner everyday. The cottage uses Nest for heating which we're not familiar with. Maybe we did something wrong which prevented the heating from coming on. Some good advice/instructions regarding the heating would really be beneficial. Otherwise a perfect stay. Thank you

“West End is a warm, comfy, well equipped cottage and just right for a couple.”

After having at least 45 - 50 cottage holidays in the UK over the years, I have to say they provided the best welcome pack I have ever seen! The home-made cake was a lovely touch. We will certainly be booking West End Cottage again.

“West End Cottage was just perfect for us.”

Based in a lovely village, ideally located for visiting all our favourite places in Northumberland easily. Really well equipped, and cosy too. We loved the personal touches like the welcome pack and friendly, helpful information. We especially appreciated the garden – it is really secure for our dog and we particularly liked the fact that it is so wildlife friendly. Can’t wait to visit again. Thank you for a great stay.

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.
