A comfortable country cottage for couples and their dog.

After days out on sandy Beadnell Bay — which is a pleasant two miles away on foot, or 10 minutes by car — you can bring your pooch back to Long Byre and relax in rural tranquillity. A byre is an old English word for a cow shed. But while this byre is still surrounded by the organic Fallodon farming estate, fine furnishings and comfort have replaced the feeding troughs and cubicles of old.

There’s an immediate feeling of space in the bright, open-plan living area, which extends from a top-notch, everything-you’ll-need kitchen across to the sitting room with its four-seater sofa, log-burning stove, crammed bookshelves and 43-inch Smart TV featuring Netflix and Prime Video. Tables stand ready for dining or game-playing.

From here, floor-to-ceiling sliding French windows open onto a small terrace containing a table and chairs; this sun trap is great for outdoor eating, reading or evening drinks and is fully enclosed so your four-legged friend can safely join you here too.

On the same floor is a super-king (or twin, if preferred) bedroom looking out dreamily across fields to the estate’s old walled garden, competing with another Smart TV for your eyes’ attention. There’s room in this large chamber for a travel cot too, should one be needed. Spotlights on the ceiling and lovely feature wall lights ensure a cosy ambience, and a deep bathtub and capacious walk-in shower both beckon in the luxurious en-suite.

Thoughtful touches proliferate. Impressive interior design. Ample storage. Biomass central heating, fuelled by wood chips harvested on site. And a nail-free grab handle available for the shower or bath to aid guests with limited mobility, for whom this single-floor property works well.

Around the sustainability-focused estate, a trout-fishing lake below the old watermill is available to guests, as are plenty of walking tracks. The ‘Coast & Castles’ cycle route passes straight through, and red squirrels, deer, otters and much birdlife all make appearances.

Close by are the popular Ship Inn at Low Newton, renowned for its seafood lunches, ruined Dunstanburgh Castle and the golden sands of Newton and Embleton Bay between. Holy Island and the enchanting Heritage Coast towns of Alnmouth and Bamburgh are also within easy reach, as is an inland day trip to Hadrian’s Wall, accomplished courtesy of the nearby A1 road, and so too are inland trips to walk the Cheviot Hills.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION

For guests looking to holiday together, there are seven other properties on the same estate - Brunton Granary sleeping 8, Mill Race sleeping 4, Brunton Burn sleeping 2, Brunton Lake sleeping 4, Swallow Dean sleeping 2, Brunton House sleeping 16, and Stable Cottage sleeping 6. Long Byre, Swallow Dean, Brunton Lake, Brunton Burn and Mill Race cottages form part of a renovated farm steading in that order going clockwise around the courtyard. Brunton Granary adjoins Brunton Burn at the rear. Brunton House and Stable Cottage sit on the opposite side of the burn.

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

The lovely navy blue cabinets and mini-breakfast bar make the kitchen a stylish and sociable space.

Don't take our word for it...

The accommodation is beautifully furnished and decorated. It is exceptionally spacious and comfortable. There is really nothing that could be improved. It's quiet. Just wonderful. The surrounding countryside has many footpaths and bridleways and the beautiful Northumberland coast is close enough to reach on foot.
Mr Knott, 28th January 2025

Don't take our word for it...

We had an excellent stay at Long Byre, along with our dog, Bill. Every detail is covered and delivered to a high standard. Generous space and great location for the beach, walks, and interesting places to visit and spend time. It ticks every box, and we will definitely return!
Mr White, 18th November 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a wonderful week staying at Long Byre. The accommodation was first class. Spacious, beautifully furnished and equipped with everything that you could wish for. The setting is rural so not for someone who wants a pub or shop or their doorstep but only 2 miles to the nearest beach. The quiet location on the Brunton estate suited us, particularly my husband who is a keen wild life photographer. Crabtree and Crabtree have been very good at supplying information and keeping us informed. It’s the second time we have stayed in your properties and we have been very pleased with the standard of accommodation.
