East Farm Croft Reviews

East Farm Croft is a quiet cottage in the lovely village of Embleton, with 2 pubs, the accommodation was warm and cosy, benefiting from central heating, an Aga and a log fire. Easy walking access to the lovely beach towards Low Newton and The Ship Inn, and also easy to walk past Dunstanburgh Castle to Craster. Would definitely recommend and would book again.
2nd visit.Lovely accommodation with warmth & comfort. Dog friendly,with loads of local walks,aswell as pubs & friendly hotel.It was lovely to escape & relax
Michael
Really enjoyed our stay at the cottage the welcome pack was nice and generous, had everything we needed, clean and tidy thanks.
Disappointed the aga wasn't working,our main issue the lack of cleanliness ,kitchen sink was brown also the base washing up bowl just not been cleaned, the roman blind in lounge was held up by pegs so could not be used. Pants and shorts found behind chair in downstairs bedroom so obviously not been cleaned properly, also the upstairs bathroom floor was not clean. No instructions for oven or microwave but plenty for the none working aga.First time at a Sykes cottage visitor book.
Sharon
Located in a peaceful spot. Quiet with ample parking and 15 minutes walk to the beach and two minutes to a beautiful wildlife reserve that we happed upon. Tasteful decor,spacious,well equipped and super comfy clean beds. Welcome pack gratefully received and handbook unfortunately for another cottage. Aga was oil fuelled and not electric and had the wrong manual instructions and was not on as stated. Immersion heater made the water temperature tepid. We could not shower or bathe comfortably. The bath was filthy and other areas. I contacted Sykes specifically and related that we did not want to leave negative comment as the positives outweighed the negative as we managed. Unfortunately we have not had a satisfactory response. A premium paid of 1127 for four days we did expect to be able to have hot water. If this is remedied we would recommend
Elaine
Lovely cottage very homely and well equipped. A little shelf in the downstairs shower would be nice for shower gelshampoo. Will definitely come back.
Michael
Very comfortable. Cottage with all amenities. Situation ideal for peace and quiet.
Gillian
The cottage is beautiful and loving area bright. We enjoyed cooking in the Arga, a new experience! It also kept the cottage lovely and warm. An enclosed area for the dog in the court yard, and ample space for two cars to be parked. 10 minute walk from the beach. Plenty of room for four people in the centre of the village. Good facilities. One little suggestion could a bath mat be provided for older people stepping into the bath. Would visit again.
We absolutely loved our time at the cottage. It was really clean and felt so cosy. Everything you needed was provided and there was a lovely welcome basket too. There was parking on the drive. Set in a quiet village, there is a lovely village shop and a couple of pubs. There was also a lovely golf club where you can get food and drink before a lovely walk on the beach.
East Farm Croft is in a great location which is quiet and convenient for the local amenities and the beach. The property is very comfortable and well presented.The enclosed garden was ideal for our dogs. We would not hesitate in booking a return visit. We understand that the property has recently changed ownership and a visit by the owners to attend to some very minor maintenance issues would ensure that this property maintains a 5 star rating.
