Calder Cottage
“top uK holiday cottage” - Conde nast traveller
1 bedroom | Sleeps 2
Calder Cottage (and Turner Cottage next door) are Emble’s beautiful holiday cottages in the village of Embleton, on the Northumberland coast. A place to relax, reconnect and indulge in the stunning, panoramic views of Embleton Bay and Dunstanburgh Castle.
the cottage
This sweet and simple one bedroom cottage was reborn late in 2018 and per Conde Nast Traveller, “perfectly complements the ascetic beauty of the Northumbrian coastal landscape it sits in”. Calder is our original cottage and guests return to it again and again.
Inside, you’ll find a cosy half-panelled living room with log burner and dining nook, its benches upholstered in sumptuous wool. The spacious bedroom houses a king-size bed and ensuite bathroom. Our favourite feature in the kitchen is the fantastic view from the window, but it’s also conveniently equipped.
Our most recent addition to the cottages is a pair of ‘Reading Rooms’. The original outhouses have been reimagined with floor to ceiling windows and built-in seating - perfect little hideouts to hunker down and connect with the landscape, whatever the weather.

Morning coffee in the snug
“Loved the snug outside for a morning cuppa and breakfast. Walks to the Ship Inn, brilliant. The view from the kitchen window is fabulous. The place makes you feel so relaxed.”
Views
Looking down the hill onto Embleton Bay, the cottage is rather overwhelmed by the views from the large windows in the living room and kitchen. Everyone loses time gazing out to sea at Calder.
Whether from the kitchen, the deck or seating at the foot of the garden, all you can see is Emble farmland, down to the links golf course between us and the sea.
Out and About
One foot after another is all you need at Calder.
Head down Sea Lane to the much loved and lauded crescent of Embleton Bay, the crown in over eight miles of uninterrupted National Trust beaches, then just decide, north or south? left or right?
Turn right for the centuries ruined and JMW Turner favourite Dunstanburgh Castle at the southern end of the Bay, and then head on to cute Craster, home of the kipper and good eating. Turning left takes you past the Emblestones rocks, around the point to the vaguely Hebridean square of fisherman’s cottages and the paragon of a pub: the vaunted The Ship, Low Newton.
Dawn or dusk, winter or summer, you cannot go wrong.
