Stayed for 3 nights with my partner and 5 year old son, great location just a 15 min walk to the beach, lovely village and great stay in Poppy Cottage. Cottage is very comfortable and has everything you need. Clare the owner was very helpful she also provides a homemade welcome pack on arrival and extra little touches, would highly recommend staying at Poppy Cottage and hope to return in the not too distant future.

We were absolutely delighted with this cottage. There was home-made bread, butter, lemon curd and lemon drizzle cake; all of which were very tasty. There was enough for a cooked breakfast which was highly appreciated as an extra perk.
We were worried with cleaniness with an active baby but it was immaculately clean. It was well presented and homely.
Clare was brilliant at sorting everything we needed for our little girl. A cot, high chair and stair gate were all in place waiting for us. She even was kind enough to post something we forgot!
Clare has thought of everything from information on local restaurants and attractions to kids games, dvds to books and even binoculars for bird watching! The kitchen is well supplied with everything you would ever need. Also everything is high quality not just the cheapest.
It is well situated for the lovely sandy beaches and a quick drive to Alnwick. There are local ammenties near by too. The cottage is situated off the road and didn't hear any noise or traffic.
We had a delightful stay and would stay again if we are visiting the area again or recommended to friends and family.
Thanks for been so helpful Clare!

The cottage is comfortable, warm, clean, and very well equipped with everything you'd need for self catering. Alongside this we were greeted with a generous and delicious welcome pack for our first night. The cottage is in a lovely quiet village and only minutes away from a beautiful beach and other bigger towns with fascinating attractions. We would have loved to have stayed longer.
As you walk into the property you are welcomed by a cheerful interior that is immaculately clean. A welcome pack of bacon, eggs, mushrooms, lemon curd, lemon drizzle cake, poppy loaf, butter, milk and much needed wine after driving from Manchester awaits. The attention to detail is stunning. Everything has been carefully thought out. Extremely well equipped. The bedrooms are light and airy. My two young daughters loved Poppy Cottage. We thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay near Alnwick.

The cottage is clean and well equipped. The location was great, in the lovely village of embleton and a short walk to the beach. Weather was great too! Thank you Clare for the welcome pack, especially the bread and cake which were amazing

Poppy cottage is a little gem and definitely one that we will be recommending to all of our friends and family. This was our first visit to Northumberland and the location could not have been better. The village of Embleton was the perfect mix of everything you need in one place - pubs, a shop, the beach, whilst being away from the hustle and bustle and a perfect base for exploring the beautiful coastline.
Everything had been thought out so well in this cottage and we will find it difficult to stay in another self catering cottage again as we were truly spoiled. From the amazing welcome pack to the Easter eggs left for the children and the dog treats and towel for the dogs. The decor was lovely throughout the property and very well equipped. The cottage was very clean when we arrived and the welcome pack was out of this world. We had a very friendly welcome from the owner and the information left in the cottage was everything we needed to find our way around.
We will be booking our next break at Poppy Cottage in the very near future. Thank you for a lovely break :)
