Another perfect stay at The Arches
Another perfect stay at The Arches, our 3rd visit. Upon arrival, the cottage was so clean and spare bedding and towels provided. Cottage was very well equipped, large rooms and home from home. The Arches is just 10 minutes walk from the beautiful coast, fabulous walks and castles on the doorstep, and so much to do in the area. We love stopping in Smallburn Cottages.
Family holiday
The property is ideal for family get together. Spacious and modern and in a great spot. The pooches also enjoyed it. Already booked again for next year.
This holiday cottage is perfectly…
We stopped in Lynecroft, Embleton. This holiday cottage is perfectly situated for exploring Northumberland and its glorious coastline. The cottage itself has been beautifully thought out in its design and fittings. The bedrooms are spacious, have comfortable beds, pillows and excellent quality linen and furnishings. It sleeps 6 people and importantly has the seating in the lounge, dining room and outdoor for all 6 people. Again, all the seating is high quality and comfortable. It is the type of holiday home that, if you wish, you can stay in all day relaxing without having to go anywhere. For pet owners you can rest easy that both the front and rear of the garden is very secure without any escape routes, well none our Terrier could find. The back garden is a lovely large garden with shady options for the pets. Thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the back garden in the sunshine with my morning cuppa on Sunday morning listening to the church bells from the beautiful ancient church jusy yards from the back garden gate.
We loved our stay at Ingram
We loved our stay at Ingram and we also had the next door cottage breamish both are immaculate and in a fantastic location we had a fantastic week and definitely want to come back and stay at this cottage highly recommend
Great week in Northumberland
The location of the property was ideal. The facilities were also a very good standard. To get to a five star rating a more comfortable bed and sofa, a bbq and a view of the landscape, but this would not stop us returning or recommending to others. We also had memories of the Joiners Arms being a better pub in the past and would have had more meals there but found it underwhelming.
We love this cottage
Great location for walking north to Beadnell or South to Craster. The Joiners Arms is fab for food.
Spacious cottage/rooms. Bathrooms well appointed. Huge TV, great parking. Well equipped, clean and comfortable. Responsive host; issue with boiler sorted within hours. Our second visit. The mattresses are wonderful (Hypnos) always guaranteed great sleep, rest, recuperation. 😍
Just perfect for us !!
Love the house - it's always spotlessly clean when we arrive! The rooms are light and airy and there's plenty of space. There's everything you need in the house - I think the owners have thought of just about everything!
The gardens are secure so the dogs can have a mooch around and I don't need to worry about them being safe.
Embleton is very central for many places in Northumberland yet it's peaceful and a beautiful place to be and has the most. fabulous beach and coastal walks.
We feel privileged to have stayed and even though was our 3rd visit I'm always sad to leave.
The Arches, Newton on the Sea
The Arches is a modern, clean cottage with good facilities. We like the secure garden for our dog and car.
It is within easy reach of the beautiful beaches and the historic places of interest.
We like that it is adjacent to the Joiner’s Arms, a nice place to eat which is also dog friendly. Despite its proximity there is no noise.
It has a downstairs bedroom which is suitable for a disabled or elderly person.
We are always comfortable there and visit every year.
Very spacious and clean
Very spacious and clean with everything you need for your holidays. Pity the local pub has stopped serving food but there are 3 places a short walk or drive away to eat in Embleton
A wonderful holiday home
A wonderful holiday home in a fantastic location. Ideally situated, Lynecroft provided a warm and comfortable home after a day out. It is the reason we regularly return and only consider Lynecroft as it provides everything one could need
Fabulous property
This is an amazing house in a beautiful area. The house is fully equipped and is light, bright and very modern. The surrounding area is stunning with amazing beach walks and beautiful countryside. We will definitely be back.
Beautiful property
On a cold winters afternoon arrived at a lovely warm cosy cottage with a beautiful welcome pack with little treats for our two little Granddaughters.
This cottage was immaculate, very well equipped with beautiful bed linen and towels too …
Great communication from the team so relax immediately on entering the property …. Thank you Maureen
Lovely house and very calming decor
Lovely house and very calming decor. Everything spot on as usual with Smallburn Cottages (this is the third property we have visited)
Would
Not hesitate to recommend.
We went for the week around New Year so obviously the weather wasn’t the best but it would be an easy walk to Embleton if nice weather. Small but safe Garden for the dogs.
Ingram at Christon Bank
Stayed in the Ingram for 3 nights and it was absolutely fantastic, very high standard of accommodation, spotlessly clean and in a great location for exploring the surrounding area. Will definitely be back hopefully for longer… 5 ⭐️’s
As good as 2019
We have stopped at The Arches before in 2019, we were a little worried that visiting again 5 years later would mean the condition of the property would have deteriorated but we needed of not worried. The Arches has been looked after remarkably and is as clean and well presented/looked after than when we visited in 2019.
Thank you so much, we had a lovely Christmas break.
FABULOUS HOUSE EVERYTHING YOU NEED …
FABULOUS HOUSE EVERYTHING YOU NEED IMACULATE. AND COMFORTABLE AND CLOSE TO PUBS RESTAURANTS BEEN TWICE THIS YEAR AND WILL BE BACK AGAIN
Fourth time stopping at the cottage
Fourth time stopping at this fabulous cottage. Well equipped with a lots of great space outside for parking multiple cars and garden for the dog. In a great location with options for eating, drinking along with The Village Shop. Lots of beautiful walks from the cottage. What’s not too like 😃.

Thoroughly Recommended
We have just spent a week in the 'Ingram' cottage, and found it to be perfect for our week exploring Northumberland. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a lovely location. The booking process was easy, as was the access to the property. Overall, thoroughly recommended, and if we're up in Northumberland again, I know where we'll be stopping!!
