Property code: OC-NB1960

An elegant 19th-century church conversion with west-facing gardens, located in the heart of Embelton and with easy access to the many wonderful coastal trails and quaint towns in Northumbria. This hideaway is ideal for older families and groups of friends seeking a restorative beachside retreat. Scope out the best eateries on your doorstep, such as the Dunstanburgh Castle Hotel located right across the road, then saunter along the picturesque, dune-backed shores of Embleton Bay, 500 metres. Venture North to Bamburgh, 7.5 miles, and spot the impressive castle ruins or trial the local delicacy of smoked kippers. Try your luck at the Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Club which was voted in the top 200 of courses in the UK, or sample locally sourced meats and goods at The Village Farm Shop.

This is a beautifully restored 1833 church boasting light-flooded rooms, original craftsmanship features, and contemporary touches. The rear entrance opens onto a hallway with a convenient cloakroom, leading through to the spacious kitchen and a utility room. Relax in the grand lounge area with plush leather sofas, arched windows, and a soaring wood burner stove - the inviting heart of the home. There is an additional side entrance with ample storage, leading to the garden. Retreat upstairs to the sleeping areas, consisting of an airy double room with an en-suite shower room, and a large mezzanine-style double room with exposed beams and a seating area. The main bathroom is also located on the first floor.

Enjoy mild afternoons in the garden with a patio area and outdoor furniture.

We made a very good choice of accommodation - Kirkside is well placed in the village - several good places to eat, the village shop/ PO is so close, street parking posed no problem - we were usually able to park right outside the door - the beach is a 20 minute walk away.

A beautiful house, very warm, clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Also a lovely garden where we sat for our first evening meal in hot sunshine. The beds and bedrooms also very spacious and comfortable. The wood burning stove was very welcome on our one day of torrential rain.

There were generous touches left for our stay, ie milk, chocolate, and logs. We had a very enjoyable few days in this lovely house and will definitely be back. Hide

We had a great time staying in this characterful house, set in a quiet village, close to Dunstanburgh Castle and Craster, and about thirty minutes by car to Lindisfarne and Alnwick.
