West End Cottage Reviews

Michael

Very nice cottage in a lovely location. Very peaceful village a good base for seeing the local area

It was our fourth stay at West End Cottage and we won't hesitate to book again! The cottage is immaculately clean, well equipped and very comfortable. It was our first stay at the cottage in summer and the garden is an absolute delight! There is a lot of care and attention to detail in the cottage to make it a welcoming environment for guests, fresh flowers on the table and the delightful homemade cake!

Patricia

West End Cottage was a peaceful gem in a sleepy hollow. Well equipped and perfect for us and pooches with a lovely enclosed garden. Close to stunning villages and quiet sandy beaches that went on for miles. Full of history and culture as well as scenic walks. Perfect

Ashley

Very welcoming West End cottage and a good location for exploring the Northumbria coast. Lovely cake and useful welcome pack of essentials. Very comfortable and decent sized bedroom. Enclosed garden is very nice and a treat for our dog sniffing. Enjoyed the food and drinks at the two local pubs Greys & Dunstanburgh castle inn. Nearby Embleton nature reserve a good dog walking area.

We stay in the Alnwick area every year and, when its just the two of us adult children free! , West End Cottage is our default location, when it is just the two of us and our two spaniels. This was our fourth stay at West End Cottage first time in February 2029 and it is the perfect getaway. A cosy, clean cottage, perfectly equipped and a fantastic secure garden for the dogs. The welcome cake was delicious and the cottage was carefully prepared ahead of our revival. The location is excellent for visiting the surrounding area and well served by the local amenities. Thank you

The owners of this cottage made us feel welcome from the second we walked through the door. From lovely touches to make our dog feel welcome at the property rather than simply tolerated blankets, bowls and tennis balls, to the little Easter decorations, chocolates and homemade cakes theyd left, every detail was considered. The cottage was comfy, very clean, well equipped, and the small kitchen had everything you could possibly need you wouldnt have to go out to eat unless you wanted to! Will definitely look out for this cottage again, thank you for making our stay so lovely!

This was a lovely cottage, perfect for my husband an myself with our two small dogs. The kitchen was really well equipped and the welcome home made cake that had been left for us was delicious. The garden was fully secure, which was great for the dogs, and very pretty and immaculately kept. The cottage is in a lovely position, with just a short walk to two pubs both dog friendly and serving food and the village shop.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at West End Cottage. The cottage is lovely, cosy and warm and the location is ideal for relaxing and enjoying the wonders of Northumberland. The homemade cakes waiting for us when we arrived were delicious, very tasty after a long journey. We will definitely be returning to this fabulous cottage.

A very cosy and comfortable cottage! It was our third weekend stay at the cottage, it happened to be Valentine's weekend, which was coincidental to our booking not the reason, there were Red Roses, a Valentine themed homemade cake and chocolates, the owners obviously take so much care to make sure their guests have the best experience. We've booked the cottage for a week in July and look forward to making the most of the delightful garden.

Hilary

West End Cottage is a lovely warm and cosy place to stay. It has a well equipped kitchen and a perfect little scullery at the back where we stored most of our food. The furniture is comfy and there is a very good sized garden and ample car parking space. Also a good smart TV. Although it is on a minor road there is very little traffic so we ceased to even notice it. There is loads of extremely useful information about the local area and good places to visit. There was also a wonderful chocolate cake to welcome us and lots of goodies including milk and other essentials. I would thoroughly recommend it as place for 2 people to stay, relax and enjoy the very lovely county of Northumberland.

Robert

The cottage was lovely, cosy and warm. A nice surprise having Christmas gifts there for us. Also a lovely home made cake. Bed was very comfortable. The cottage is close to amenities, and lovely walks. Also very quiet.

Anthony

We couldn't have found a nicer place then west end cottage. Such a peaceful place. Will definitely be there again. Best regards Tony and jayne.

Leslie

Lovely cottage and well situated for excellent walks along the coast. Great enclosed garden for our dog. Well stocked with everything you need including herbs and spices and those things you wouldn't usually take to cook on holiday. The hosts provided a lovely chocolate cake and welcome pack which was very well received. We enjoyed a peaceful break in a very homely cottage.

Great location & the property has absolutely loads of character. Relatively expensive but you certainly get what you pay for in terms of quality & facilities.

First of all, please do not change your pillows! They are wonderfully comfortable and soft so much so, I took a sneaky peek at the brand John Lewis and have ordered a pair for my home. This was our second stay at West End cottage and like before, it didn't disappoint. A delicious welcome pack awaited us, with chocolate butterfly buns and homemade scones. The cottage is incredibly wellequipped. Books, games, ideas on places to visit, and everything you could possibly need for the kitchen except for a tin opener, which we couldn't find for love nor money! Hot dogs, which we use as highvalue treats for our dogs, don't come with a ring pull! We even had sufficiently cold enough weather to use the log burner. We have booked West End Cottage again for our next stay in November 2026.

Jonathan

Lovely cosy cottage in great location with beach within walking distance and great base for exploring the area. Found cottage to be warm and garden was lovely and secure for dog, also good to have off road parking to side of cottage. Was nice on arrival to discover chocolate cake, milk and welcome pack. Eat at the Dunstanburgh Castle Hotel on three occasions, good food at reasonable prices. Only thing we'd recommend changing is the pillows which seemed a bit soft saggy. Would definitely recommend stay again.

Excellent location for exploring up and down the lovely Northumberland coast. The cottage was cosy, comfortable and very well equipped with everything needed for our week away. The welcome pack & cleaning pack were very welcome indeed especially the delicious homemade treats! It was nice to be able to sit in the peaceful garden watching all the birds. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend to family and friends, although that might mean there wouldnt be any dates available for us to make a return visit! What a lovely place to stay.

We arrived at the cottage to find it exactly as listed, so we knew what to expect, ideal location, everything you could need and more was provided, Owner left little personal touches like a baked cake and milk and welcome packs, vase of flowers on table, so thoughtful

Cosy and welcoming cottage with great attention to detail. Greatly appreciated the home made cake, preserves and welcome pack on arrival. Wonderful coastal walks and places to eat nearby and a pretty, secure garden .We were blessed with blue skies and had a lovely holiday.

We have had a lovely two weeks staying at this cosy cottage. It is well equipped and very comfortable with everything you need for a home from home including herbs, spices, tea and coffee and a tea cosy! The location is perfect in Embleton a couple of minutes to the pub, wonderful village store farm shop and a 20 minute walk to be on the beach. The garden is delightful and fully enclosed which suited our curious spaniel! With coastal walks all around and the Cheviots a short drive away, this is a great place to stay to enjoy it all. We shall return!

Wonderful welcome packs and fresh flowers in the cottage. Plenty of helpful additions in the kitchen store cupboards plus beautiful freshly baked homemade cake. Very well equipped and beautifully maintained garden. A very enjoyable stay.

West End cottage is such a lovely place to stay. It has everything you need for such a cosy cottage and the small touches like the vase of flowers, milk in the fridge and home made cakes are very welcoming. The bed is comfy and lighting the fire in the lounge is great on a cool evening. The location is great with the beach being a ten minute walk away and plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. This is our second visit and we have already booked for September.

Really enjoyed our stay thank you. Property just as advertised, very comfortable bed & the garden was great for us & the dog. Thanks again

Rosemary

Our second visit to West End Cottage. Great base for touring Northumberland. Cottage is very well equipped can't think of anything we needed that wasn't provided. Really warm didn't need to light the fire the heating was more than sufficient. Lovely pubs which are dog friendly. Would definitely stay again. Just to let you know the bathroom tap is dripping quite badly.

West end cottage was clean , lovely white bedding and towels . Located about 100 yards from the dunstanburgh hotel and 300 from the greys pub making its location for evening out very good. Pleasant secluded rear garden , small parking for one car off road . Living room and bedroom quite large . Kitchen is small but adequate for 2 . There's a rear porch utility which is very useful . Bathroom with a lovely big walk in shower . And as a nice welcome pack a superb sponge cake , milk , cookie pack Along with a good mixture of condiments etc. And as noted on an earlier review , the taps don't drip ! We had a really good stay and will happily return .

Fabulous quaint cottage with super private garden. The host generously provided a welcome pack and delicious chocolate cake and many more little touches which were most appreciated. The cottage is warm, cosy, very comfortable and Embleton is a lovely quiet village, close to the beach and great coastal walks. Embleton is also well placed for touring the beautiful Northumberland coast. Thanks for a super holiday. Looking to book again ASAP!

Overall, we enjoyed a very comfortable stay at West End Cottage. The welcome gift of homemade chocolate buns were delicious. It was lovely to see the log burner was ready to use, but unfortunately, the mild weather didn't really justify its use. Plenty of instructions within the cottage and lots to occupy your time. We particularly enjoyed the 'garden bird watch'. Embleton is just a short walk through to the magnificent Embleton Bay, where sun and sand kept our 2 dogs occupied for many hours. Glorious views across to Dunstanburgh Castle from the beach. A couple of minor points which didn't detract from our stay, the dripping tap, as mentioned in previous reviews, is still not fixed, resulting in a huge amount of water being wasted. The vacuum cleaner is next to useless, I'm afraid. Apart from those two issues, we would still recommend West End Cottage.

John Paul

Fantastic stay at West End cottage. Very well appointed and great facilities. Perfect location and ideal place to explore the surrounding area. Decor is looking a bit tired and could benefit from a touch up. Leaking taps in the kitchen and bathroom, only point out to save the waste of water and expense. Warm and comfortable property with lots of clear instructions and information.

Excellent in all respects. Very well equipped cottage. A great location within walking distance of the beach and local amenities. Lovely garden and very well hosted! Highly recommended!

We recently stayed here with our dog, Billy. Upon arrival we had been left milk, a cleaning pack, a teacoffee pack with biscuits, a dog treat for Billy and delicious homemade buns. What a welcome! This is a lovely cottage, perfect for two, in the lovely village of Embleton. Great location to be based out of for visiting local attractions. Large living room and bedroom. Good size bathroom with a lovely hot shower. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of utensils and herbsspices etc. Much better than most places we've stayed before. Nice secure garden with off road parking, all a 10 minute stroll from the beach. Would happily stay here again and would recommend.

Extremely well equipped cottage made for a very comfortable stay in a great location at the edge of the village. The Welcome Pack contained all the essentials plus some very tasty treats including a delicious homemade cake. Walking distance to the village shop and two very good dining pubs and a pleasant stroll to the beautiful beach. A very enjoyable New Years break would definitely recommend.

Melanie

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!

Stephen

Angela

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 ensuite 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 WiFi 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
