We stayed in the 'Stable'. A small self contained barn conversion in the garden opposite the main Hotel. There were also the 'Barn' and the 'Hay Loft'. We liked the space: open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room. Up a few steps to bed room and down a few steps to bath room/ dressing room. Embleton itself is quite nice with a golf course, lovely beach and good walk to Dunstanburgh Castle. There are lots of nice places to visit a short car ride away such as Alnwick casle and gardens, Bamburgh Castle, Cragside, Lindisfarne, the Farne Islands and Chillingham Cattle.
The beakfast is very good and in the evening you can eat in the bar or the restaurant. The menu is not huge and I always think that with a smaller choice you may be getting freshly cooked food. You could go self catering but I enjoy being looked after.
Almost every one we spoke to at the hotel had been there several times before and I think that that is a good recommedation. We have been for two years running and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stays and all Northumberland has to offer.
