Calder Cottage

Calder Cottage is the perfect hideaway for couples and their four legged friends. The cottage is very comfortable and cosy, and equipped with all the facilities you could possibly need. But the stand-out feature is the view from the cottage, which has to be one of the best in the area, if not the country! And with Embleton perfectly situated to explore the Northumberland coast and beyond, so you really can't do better than to stay at Calder Cottage.

"We loved Calder Cottage. It was everything we hoped for; stylish and comfortable, with a wonderful view to the sea. We enjoyed walks from the cottage along the coast in both directions, to Low Newton and to Craster.Thanks to Crabtree staff for excellent administration and for making it so easy for us to defer our booking from last year to this. This was our second Crabtree holiday this year and we’re now looking forward to our third one in September."

"Despite the mixed weather we had a great time and the cottage was ideal for 2 people. We loved the village and proximity to the beach. Good garden space with a fantastic outlook. Friendly neighbour. Embleton was a great base and also had great local facilities. Fab pub, shop and petrol filling station! Would love to come back again but note that it is very popular with advance bookings. I can understand why as it was a great cottage. Highly recommended!"

"We had a lovely time. The cottage is furnished and equipped to a very high standard: the bed is comfortable, the sofa is luxuriously long, the bathroom lacks nothing. The selection of books and magazines is generous and delightful, though the view and the pub prevents much reading. We can't wait to come back and experience it all again."

"We had a fabulous 1st Wedding anniversary at Calder Cottage. When booking the accommodation I was looking for something really special and we were not disappointed. 5 Star all the way, beautiful views, clean, comfortable and stylish accommodation. Attention to detail just perfect, including a little surprise of a Lemon cake and some other goodies  from the owners. We enjoyed the surrounding area and really didn't want to leave. Thank you to all involved with the booking and ensuring we had such an amazing time.  We have already recommended to friends and hope that we will return in the future or check out some of your other properties."

"We really enjoyed our stay at Calder Cottage and it fitted our needs perfectly.  The cottage has been tastefully modernised and well equipped.  The views from the rear windows and garden were amazing. Calder Cottage is definitely on the ‘lets go back’ list."

"What I loved; The view, of course! Lots of info on local walks and the immediate area. Loved having the more personal touch from the owner in the welcome book, great to read the history and background. Great to have fresh eggs in the welcome pack. Friendly neighbour with lots of interesting stories. Being able to have a mostly car free holiday was a huge bonus for me: 3/4 hour walks and sitting out listening to the birds - bliss! Lots of wildlife - birds, bees, butterflies.  As someone who lives in a v urban area, I love this. Lovely seating areas outside. Interesting, quirky decor. Great appliances that worked without any issues. High standard of cleanliness. No single use toiletries. Really enjoyed my stay at Calder Cottage and would love to return.  The wildlife, dark nights and being able to leave the car most of the time meant a truly relaxing break. The owner has done a great job with the decor and I particularly loved the history and details of local walks and recommended places."

"A huge asset was the wonderful view of the sea. All in all I had an enjoyable stay and was very happy with the standard and quality of the accommodation. Kitchen especially was a joy to use. My second stay with Crabtree & Crabtree and my second with very good, reliable accommodation. Thank you."

"We had a fantastic week at Calder Cottage. It was warm clean and very comfortable. The location, views, and village were fabulous."

"I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay in the cottage. Although we live in south Northumberland we love walking on the Northumberland coast and the cottage was an ideal base for us to do so for a mini break this week. We could not fault the cottage not just for the location but also for being cosy and comfortable. It was perfect for our needs and fully met our expectations. If we decide to have a similar break in the future we will certainly look out for Calder Cottage. Thank you also for the admin with e mails leading up to the holiday. All instructions were spot on and helped make our stay trouble free."

"A very clean & comfortable Cottage large enough for 2. Amazing views over the Bay & Dunstanburgh Castle."

"We had a great time, the cottage was all that we hoped for and more. Wonderful setting, best views around, great interior & very welcoming gifts."

"This must be our fourth or fifth stay in Northumberland, but the county never loses its appeal. Beautiful beaches, wonderful walks, interesting towns and nice pubs and restaurants. We loved the little touches - champagne on arrival. Eggs (thank you hens), homemade marmalade and lots of magazines and books. This cottage has it all - definitely the best abode in Embleton!"

"A wonderful stay in a lovely cottage. Thank you."

"It was worth the long drive for the view from this window alone! We enjoyed the walk to the pub for lunch and home along the stunning beach. Thank you for the eggs and marmalade - they went down very well at breakfast time. Alnwick Castle and gardens a must and the drive round the edge of the National Park has stunning views. A lovely weekend!"

"A comfortable and stylishly appointed base for our (hopefully successful) house hunting trip. Great views of the sea from the windows. It's a pity that we haven't had much time to get out and walk during this visit - hopefully the next time!"

"Just what was needed for a reclusive and tranquil Christmas! As I knew the area well I didn't do much exploring but enjoyed daily walks on the beach and around the village and looked forward to relaxing afterwards with a good book. The prime asset of the cottage is in my opinion the VIEW! Fabulous at any time of day. I also found it's location very quiet and peaceful. It was a pleasure to spend time in the comfort of a well-furnished clean and comfortable cottage with a superb kitchen - lovely new appliances!"

"Another lovely stay in Northumbria. Cottage lovely that day changing sea view! Weather so mild first few days (we've been in June and it's been wilder!!) Great for dog walks, coffee shops and pubs to make a relaxing break and start to 2019. Lots of lovely touches in cottage - felt v at home."

"Our second stay at this lovely cottage: location is its prime asset - never fail to get enough of the beautiful sea view - AMAZING!! The cottage is very comfortable with quality furnishings. Embleton is lovely and peaceful - beach walks are plenty - scenery is stunning!! We cannot get enough of this wonderful and laid back place."

"Wonderful stay at this lovely cottage, the view is amazing. The cottage was like a home from home, very relaxing. Enjoyed a long walk from the cottage to Craster and back via Dunstanburgh Castle. If you love to read, Barter Books in Alnwick is a must. We look forward to a repeat visit."

"We've thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful setting. The weather has been fantastic and has added to the breathtaking views from the cottage. The cottage has been everything we wished for. We've been very comfortable and warm and the bottle of bubbly on arrival was very welcome! You're off to a great start with the cottage and I'm sure we'll be back!"

"It was a fantastic weekend from start to finish. Nothing to change at all and we loved the decor and location."
