  We really enjoyed staying at Fidra for the week.

  The cottage is in a really quiet and quaint area in Embleton. The view from the cottage is absolutely fabulous - stunning green fields and the sea. The bedrooms are decent sizes and the living room is extremely homely and comfortable. My only constructive criticisms would be that the upstairs flooring is extremely creaky. When sleeping downstairs, if people are upstairs, you can hear every footstep. This could do with being sorted. Also, some of the furniture is looking a little tired and could do with replacing (bedroom wardrobes). The dining room table and chairs are lovely and roomy: however, the chairs are extremely heavy so my parents-in-law and children struggled to move them. Overall, we had a brilliant stay and would definitely return.

  Comfy cottage in a great location close to the beach and local pubs/shops.

  Gorgeous views of the sea from the upstairs window. We had read the previous reviews on the kitchen and brought our own pans but this wasn't necessary as new ones have been added. Plenty of parking space on site. The only negatives were the boiler running during the night as it's right by the main bedroom and a thick winter duvet in July which meant we were very hot at night. Some information about the local area/where to recycle glass etc would have been very helpful as the only information we could find was a request to water the plants. During the summer (2024) there is currently a different street food truck at the memorial hall every Thursday evening selling takeaway food which we really enjoyed and would recommend to other guests.

  The cottage was as described, cosy, comfortable, well equipped and with fantastic views over Embleton bay and towards Dunstanburgh castle.

  A great location for pubs, beach, walks and the village farm shop. Bedding and towels were provided and were of very good quality. There was no welcome note or property instructions (e.g. wifi, central heating, bins/recycling, local amenities, etc.) which would have been useful. There is no obvious way of controlling the central heating - switching the heating controls to 'off' and turning down the thermostat had no effect. Some radiator controls are not accessible, meaning that some rooms were uncomfortably warm. The central heating timer had been set but not to particularly convenient times, with noise from the boiler room in the main bedroom at night. On the plus side, the bathroom was nice and warm.

  Great views and located in a very unspoilt part of the Northumbria coastline.

  The view from upstairs window was outstanding, and hard to beat, and owner-provided binoculars were a nice touch! The main bed was comfortable and bedding was good quality linen. On the other hand, cleanliness could have been improved in a few places, i.e. under sofa and between the seat cushions, the kitchen really needs improvement (as others have said - e.g. basic oven, no small pans, no egg cups) and a fan would have been really useful as upstairs gets VERY warm in the sun. Also..no local information at all (e.g. recycling days, where to eat, places to visit). None of this detracted from a really enjoyable stay, but feel more could be done with this cottage.

  The view from the cottage is truly wonderful and the cottage itself is well situated for the local shop, garage, pubs and hotel restaurant.

  There is no "welcome pack" so it is necessary to bring refreshments for when you arrive. The kitchen would benefit from one or two small saucepans and some good oven gloves and information on local holiday attractions/events and maybe a Visitors Book in the cottage would be helpful. Guidance on the heating controls could be useful too but we contacted the owner who willingly came out at short notice to resolve our issue. We didn't find table and chairs so as there was only the wooden picnic table for outside seating, a few outside comfy chairs would be beneficial. Overall a comfortable cottage in a good location and highly recommended.
