Whinny Cottage Reviews

Whiney cottage was a great place to stay, clean and comfortable the welcome pack was great. The hot tub well maintained and spotlessly clean.

We had a fantastic stay at Whinny. The accommodation was clean and cosy and the addition of the log burner and hot tub really made it something special! Having access to the pool was a huge perk too, especially on a rainy morning with a toddler. The location is great with nearby beaches and cosy pubs. Well definitely be returning

Amazing place! Well equipped, clean, comfortable with fabulous views all around. Hot tub and pool excellent. Location perfect for everywhere. Wildlife on the doorstep and walk to beautiful beach

Its our second time at North cottages Embleton and it didnt disappoint, it is the ideal position for places to see and walks. Excellent location

Edwina

Excellent property in beautiful location with outstanding facilities

Great cottage, peaceful and ideally located to discover the coast. The hot tub and swimming pool were an added bonus. Everything was well maintained, clean and tidy, and we felt relaxed and contented after our holiday. Also thank you for the welcome pack

Annemaria

Excellent holiday you could not ask for more . Swimming Hot tub peaceful good location

Patricia

Excellent property all round, in good position for visiting other places. Swimming pool fabulous, loved having sessions on our own, salt water chlorination so much gentler on skin. Only negative for us was that cars were parked too close to the bottom of our ramp preventing our car from being able to pick me up there so I had to use the steps, I think they were from The Retreat. They said they had to park there so as not to narrow up the gate.

Lovely cottage but 4 people and only 1 bathroom not enough. Only1 useable mirror in bathroom. 2 very small mirrors nailed too high to see in in bedrooms. Good welcome foods. I tried to use pool but the vertical steps too challenging as I have arthritis . Would have loved to swim. A staggered step or ramp with handrail would make pool accessible to less able . My family enjoyed pool and hot tub .

Jennifer

We had a really lovely holiday at Whinny Cottage. The cottage is well equipped and well appointed and a perfect location for exploring the Northumberland coast. The swimming pool and hot tub were an attraction of the location, and we made good use of both. The cottage has everything you need, but would agree with previous comments that the small mirrors in the bedrooms were too high up. The bedrooms did get stuffy at night because the windows are side opening and so we didn't want to leave them open other than on the latches overnight. The cottage would benefit from a larger and more robust clothes airer, particularly when there are multiple towels and swimming costumes to dry and the weather is too wet to get them out on the line although the heated towel rail in the bathroom was very welcome. Overall we had a great time at North Farm Cottages which were quiet and secluded but with good access to the beach and to the village of Embleton.

Michelle

We were very impressed with the cottage, with the ciews and the upkeepnof thw propery. The only thing missing was having a long mirror in the bedrooms. The round mirrors were too high up for me and my motherinlaw to see in.
