Breathtaking sea views, a village pub and wonderful beach walks which extend for mile-upon-perfect-mile. An idyllic base for beach picnics and dramatic sunsets.

Just half a mile from the golden bay of Embleton sands, this quaint one bedroom cottage boasts commanding sea views with all the advantages of village life.

Calder Cottage is a winning combination of old and new, with its traditional whinstone facade opening into a more contemporary living space.

The sitting room brings a more sophisticated twist to the coastal vibe with modern abstract prints, fresh ticking fabrics by Ian Mankin, and art prints by Calder and Victor Pasmore. Colourful kilim rugs and geometric patterns are balanced with a heritage scheme of cool greys and wood panelling, not forgetting a toasty wood burner of course.

The prints in the inner hall give a lovely nod to the cottage’s long association with farm life, leading into a bright kitchen with lively colour accents. Here you can take advantage of the pastoral views towards the sea, bringing an enjoyable dimension to the washing-up!

In the bedroom, the original Ercol chair is a statement piece with bold goemetric fabric by David Hicks and a bespoke cast metal bed, softened with the gentle colour of Dimity.

Outdoors, a raised wooden deck offers a space for dining and enjoying the sea views down to Embleton Bay, leading into a large lawned garden which is shared with the cottage next door.

OUTSIDE

The cottage has a raised rear wooden deck with garden furniture, extending into a large lawned rear garden which is shared with the adjoining cottage. In order to make the garden more wildlife friendly, the owners of Calder Cottage are currently in the process of rewilding it. Nectar-rich flowers, trees and shrubs, and ornamental grasses are currently growing in the garden. Once developed, guests can stroll along the enchanting winding cut paths through a mosaic of colourful plants and grasses. Please note, the garden will be maintained on Fridays and Saturdays. Please contact us if you have any concerns.

There is a stone outbuilding adjacent to the rear door of the cottage which has plenty of storage for bicycles and outdoor kit.

Location

Set within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Embleton is a pretty village which is perfect for a coastal escape. The village is perched on a ridge with breathtaking views over Embleton Bay, a vast sandy beach which is overlooked by the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. This setting provides the perfect backdrop for leisurely walks, wildlife spotting, and lazy days spent enjoying the sea air.

The ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle can be reached via a scenic clifftop walk which is dotted with sheep and provides a glimpse into the area's fascinating history. Local amenities include several charming pubs and cosy cafés, while nearby Craster, famous for its smoked kippers and harbour, is a must-visit spot for seafood lovers.

For day trips, the grand castle and diverse gardens in the historic town of Alnwick are just a short distance away. The Northumbrian coastline is filled with gems to explore, from the towering Bamburgh Castle to the wildlife-rich Farne Islands and the historic castle and priory on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.

The Little Things We Love

A morning Nespresso taking in the views down to Embleton Bay. Just a perfect start to the day.

Don't take our word for it...

Really lovely cottage in an amazing location. The most amazing beach, a couple of pubs, and a great shop are all within walking distance - what more could you need? We didn't want to leave. Loved all the interesting books in the cottage.
Miss O'Shea, 13th January 2025

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.

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 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.

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!
Mr & Mrs Hayhurst, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

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. This was our second Crabtree holiday this year and we’re now looking forward to our third one in September.

Don't take our word for it...

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 emails leading up to the holiday. All instructions were spot on and helped make our stay trouble free.
Mr Fraser, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

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.
