The Haven Reviews

The Haven was everything we could of wanted its location was great and the property was very well appointed and maintained. We would definitely book this property again
Teresa
The Haven is a lovely bungalow cottage. It was very clean on arrival & was extremely well equipped, a definite Home from Home & very comfortable. Embleton is a lovely, quiet village with ample facilities in the Hotel, pub, garage, golf course & village farm shop & daily buses. Beautiful walks from The Haven along the coast to Dunstanburgh Castle or towards Low Newton The Ship is definitely worth a visit The Haven is one of the nicest places we've ever stayed
Kathryn
Another wonderful stay at The Haven. This accommodation never fails to impress. This is our third stay here and it is always very clean and extremely comfortable, it has everything you need from a fully equipped kitchen to DVDs and games. The location is a lovely quiet village with a very well stocked village shop, a couple of pubs and a golf club which is open to the public. It is also a perfect location for exploring the beautiful Northumberland coast as well as numerous castles. I cannot recommend this cottage enough, I will be returning.
The best rental property we have experienced over many years of renting holiday accommodation. The owners have maintained an outstanding bungalow in pristine condition.
Christine
A very clean, spacious and comfortable bungalow, with a big garden. Everything you need is provided to make your stay enjoyable, plus a lovely welcome pack. Easy to get to different places along the coast and inland. Would highly recommend this property this being our second stay here.
One of the best holiday properties we've stayed in! Well equipped with everything you need, near the coast, handy for the bus. Definitely one we'd recommend
Had a lovely week at the Haven, Embleton. The bungalow was modern, very clean and had comfy beds. Everything you could need was provided. Nice back garden with outdoor table and chairs and sunshade. The village is small and very quiet but within easy reach of all facilities We hope to return in the future
Superb accommodation, very well furnished with things needed for a stay very much a home from home. The bungalow is very well situated to explore the locality both near and far there is a mainline station approx. 15 minutes drive away and we went to Edinburgh for one of our days out. I am happy to give this venue the highest recommendation.
Great place to stay! We regularly travel from Canada and spend several weeks on the NE Coast and without a doubt The Haven was the best facility... Jim and Lyn
Beautifully furnished and equipped bungalow. Very comfortable and relaxing place to be.
This is a great house. It has everything you need for a very comfortable holiday. It was exactly as described on line. The house is ideally situated for travelling around Northumberland. Village has basic supplies in the village farm shop or in the Petrol stationgarage.This is probably the quietest street we have ever lived in. Very relaxing holiday yet busy enough to explore Northumberland again.
Beautiful cottage, furnished to the highest standards with all mod cons. Spotlessly clean and so cosy. Situated in a quiet road in the best village. Perfect!
The Haven is an immaculate property and is truly worthy of 5 stars. It has everything you may need and more. Excellent communication from the owners. Only one mile from the stunning Embleton Bay and perfectly located to explore the Northumberland coast.
What a fantastic property. Beautifully furnished and stocked with every essential you could think of. So cozy and comfortable, a perfect place to relax. Situated in the gorgeous village of embleton and central to many lovely walks. We will definitely be going back.
We found the Haven absolutely amazing and exceeded all our expectations so comfortable and clean and had everything supplied to make your holiday experience special. The area is so beautiful and lots of villages and places to visit Embleton and the villagers are so welcoming. Thank you. The welcoming pack was much appreciated.
Kathryn
This was our 2nd stay at The Haven and it didnt disappoint. The accommodation is first rate, it is extremely clean and the hosts have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location is perfect for exploring the beautiful Northumberland coast and is within walking distance of the stunning Embleton Bay. The village is lovely and has a good farm shoppost office , petrol station a golf club which is open to the public and some nice pubs. We are hoping to return and would love to stay at The Haven again.
Excellent all round, hope to be back again next year.
Accommodation of a very high standard. Made for a very comfortable holiday in a location that is an excellent base for exploring Northumberland.
Another fantastic stay at The Haven Embleton. The property is spotlessly clean & has everything you need from the well equipped kitchen, lovely bedding, towels & furniture. Also great off road parking. Embleton is a quiet village but has a lovely little shop & pub. The beach which you can access via the golf course, is always quiet with walks over to either Dunstanburgh Castle, Craster or Low NewtonbytheSea. Ideal location for exploring Northumberland & the Scottish borders. Already booked for 2025.
Vernon
Lovely cottage in a lovely village. Great beaches and countryside.
Adrian
The bungalow was beautifully presented. It was clean and the welcome basket was a lovely surprise. The owners appear to have thought of everything that is needed to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Anyone looking for a property in this area really couldnt do any better than this one. We would unhesitatingly book The Haven again.
Caroline
Lovely property, spotlessly clean, good quality furnishings & comfy beds. A great spot in Embleton, a couple of pubs nearby & a fab little shop in the village.
This is a fantastic cottage to stay in we love it so much that this was our third holiday at the property.
Elizabeth
The property is very comfortable, comfy beds, nice linen and towels, well equipped kutchen with fridge freezer washing machine dishwasher oven microwave hob, plenty of pans crockery and utensils, a spacious lounge with lovely sofas, and dining table, sideboard with maps information leaflets and games. Spotlessly clean and has everything you could need. Patio doors lead to a patio with table and chairs and a large grassed lawn. Very bright and welcoming. Owners easy to contact. Stunning beach wonderful location. I highly recommend this property and hope to return.
We have been on annual holidays in Northumberland for the past20 years & we can honestly say this is the best property we have stayed in. The owners have literally thought of everything to make our visit memorable. Thank you! The welcome pack was unexpected but very much appreciated. Can NOT fault this property. Truely 5 star
Kenneth
The cottage is in ideal location to explore the Northumberland area with so much to see and do on doorstep or in close vicinity. The cottage was one of the most well equipped properties we have ever stayed in and the owners went above and beyond to assist us during our stay. The garden is a proper sun trap. Would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again in the future.
The bungalow property is absolutely fabulous and is in a great location. The property is only 5 years old, and to us, it seemed like a new showhome! It has been tastefully furnished and the bedding, towels etc are top quality.The air source heat pump used for central heating is very effective so the house is nice and warm in the coldest of weather. It has a lovely private south facing rear garden which will come into its own in the summer months. Also, the property owners are very thoughtful and have made available all sorts of books, guides, games, DVDs etc to make your stay more pleasurable as well as a rather nice welcome pack. We will definitely return to The Haven!
Katherine
This is a relatively new build property, beautifully appointed and the kitchen was well stocked with a variety of pans and trays. Lovely to see a property run so eco conscious with ASHP as alternative energy supply. Bedrooms of a good size and comfortable. One point to note that although this is on one floor it may not be appropriate for people with mobility issues the bathrooms were gorgeous but there were no handles on the baths etc.
Samantha
We have stayed in quite a few cottages now, but we all thought this was the one where we felt most at home. Its got everything you need, great location for exploring. Brilliant back garden for children to play in. Just perfect.
Kathryn
The Haven is a wonderful property in a fantastic location. The Haven was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable with quality furnishings. The owners left a really nice welcome pack which was much appreciated and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and again all kitchen equipment was good quality and clean. The location was perfect for exploring the Northumberland coastline and the beach was within easy walking distance. We are hoping to book again for next year as 1 week was not long enough.
We thought that this was an outstanding property . We were a little disappointed that we potentially couldn't gain access initially until 5pm but requested a text when we could gain entry and could do so after 3pm. Perhaps a similar offer could be made to others.
We really enjoyed our stay it was like being at a friends property. It was a good size, clean, well stocked and not littered with must do instructions. There was private parking spaces for several cars. The Haven lived up to its name and was also well situated for touring Northumberland and beyond.
Evelyn
Genuine 5 accommodation. A real home from home. Beautifully furnished and tastefully decorated. Owners have thought of everything.
Michele
Beautiful property in a wonderful location. Spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. Would definitely book again.
Super accommodation with everything you could wish for. Decor is serene and peaceful for a relaxing break. Beautiful modern kitchen and well equipped. Home from home.
Welcome Pack tailored to our party members. Helpful and reassuring text message communications with owners. Excellent accommodation in a lovely area.
Excellent property in a lovely location within walking distance to the beach. Probably the best equipped holiday home we have ever stayed in.
Daniel
Lovely clean comfortable bungalow with everything you need for a self catering holiday.
Beautiful property, extremely comfortable and wonderful welcome goodies. Great setting and plenty of useful information .
An excellent warm, quiet and comfortable bungalow, which, to be honest, we could not fault. The kitchen was very well equipped with utensils and crockery as if the owners expect visitors to cook at home regularly rather than eating out. The air flow heat pump surprised us by how efficient it was and whilst taking a little longer to heat up than a conventional system , achieved a comfortable heat throughout. There was good information about local places of interest, restaurants and services as well as about the household appliances. We would definitely think about returning next time we go back to Embleton.
