A chic retreat with fabulous views and beautifully-presented accommodation ideal for families and couples, Mill Race is just a few minute's drive or a two mile stroll across fields to the beach.

Inside, the accommodation is light, bright and presented with great attention to detail. The convivial open-plan living area achieves the perfect balance of cosiness and sophistication. There are enticing sofas, cashmere throws, eye-catching original artwork from local artists and a captivating view from the floor to ceiling windows over the mill race and burn. There is wi fi, a Smart TV and an iDock, cosy fireside seating for the cooler months and floor to ceiling patio doors to let in the fresh Northumbrian air on warmer days. Long, leisurely meals can be spent admiring the view from the dining area or outside on the terrace with the bubbling burn in the background. The kitchen comes extensively-equipped including a welcome pack of local goodies awaiting guests on arrival.

The bedrooms - light, bright and immaculately-presented - have TVs with Freeview, ample storage and zip and link super king size or twin beds for flexibility. Top quality mattresses, sumptuous feather and down pillows and duvets and crisp Egyptian cotton bed linen aid a good night's sleep.

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

Looking out at the view of the burn, with the log-burner warming your back, I can't think of a more peaceful, happier place to sit with your holiday book on your lap.

Don't take our word for it...

A beautifully furnished, thoughtfully designed property. Lovely location with walks from the door. Loved the welcome pack, too. This is the second property we have stayed at here and we will be back! Very comfortable and homely. We have stayed at so many Crabtree & Crabtree homes, and they never disappoint.
Miss Thomas, 13th February 2025

Don't take our word for it...

Everything was absolutely perfect. Mill Race is an extremely comfortable and well appointed cottage with everything one could possibly need. The friends who accompanied us were equally impressed. We hope to come again before too long!
Backhouse family, 21st March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We cannot speak too highly of the service we received from yourselves & the property owners. The property was a delight from beginning to end & had ample room for four people, even had it come to spending a 'rainy day in'. The situation of the cottage was delightful & it was equipped to the highest standard. We certainly hope to return to it or its sister property next year.
Norton family, 21st March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed our stay in Mill Race cottage, we thought it was lovely and look forward to returning.
Mr Hutcheson, 21st March 2024
