Grey Croft

The Northumberland coast between Embleton and Seahouses offers genuine appeal to families who want beaches, wildlife and seaside village life without driving far. Embleton itself has golden sand and proper facilities 2 miles away. Craster, 5 miles south, is known for kippers and harbour walks. Seahouses, 6 miles north, runs regular boat trips to the Farne Islands to see seals and seabirds. Beadnell Bay, 6 miles away, draws water sports people. Inland, Alnwick Castle and its gardens sit a few miles away for a change of pace.

Grey Croft is a detached stone house with space for eight. Downstairs has two sitting rooms (both with gas fires and television), a kitchen-dining room with a full range of cookers and appliances, a utility room, and a bathroom with a bath and shower. Upstairs holds four bedrooms: one with a super king bed, one with a king bed, and two with single beds each. A shower room serves the upper floor. The house comes with private parking for two cars, an enclosed garden with patio, and bike storage. Wi-Fi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are all provided. One well-behaved pet can stay free of charge. The property is no-smoking throughout.
