Hedgehog House, a holiday let in the Northumberland village of Embleton, offers guests a private hot tub and stylish accommodation just minutes from Embleton Bay, described as one of the most beautiful beaches 'anywhere in the world'. The property is priced between £967 and £1,973 for seven nights, depending on the season, and can accommodate up to five guests across three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Location and Nearby Attractions
Embleton Bay is a tranquil beach overlooked by the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, a 14th-century fortress now home to diverse wildlife. The bay was named among the best hidden gem locations in the UK last year. The village of Embleton itself has been highlighted by Sykes Holiday Cottages as one of the best staycation spots in Northumberland. The travel experts said: 'With a gloriously sandy beach and an 18-hole links golf course, this tranquil village would be the ideal spot for a relaxing getaway on the Northumberland coast.'
Property Features and Guest Reviews
Hedgehog House features stylish décor, contemporary comforts, and a garden with an outdoor fire, a heated pergola, and a private hot tub. The property is dog-friendly, allowing up to three dogs, but does not accept children under five. Guests have given it five-star reviews, with one visitor in March saying: 'Beautiful cottage, lots of extra touches and everything you need provided for a relaxing break in a home from home. Great location within walking distance of a beautiful quiet beach, two local pubs and a village shop.' Another guest from January added: 'What more can you say but this place was perfect. Located close to the beach, and perfect as a base for travelling up and down the coast.'
Booking and Availability
At the time of writing, Hedgehog House was fully booked until December, with stays already filling up for spring and summer 2027. The hot tub is emptied and refilled before each guest's stay, so it may not reach full temperature on the day of arrival. Nearby, the Dunstanburgh Castle Inn offers 16 bedrooms and is a short stroll from Embleton Bay, described as the 'perfect base for exploring Northumberland's many treasures'.
