The Lodge @ Shirewater

Embleton

Located on the outskirts of this pretty coastal village, just a short stroll to the beach, The Lodge is an independent wing of an early 20th century country house which has been lovingly refurbished by its owner. Anne, the owner of the Lodge, born in Glasgow and inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, has influenced the interior design style that pays homage to the Arts & Craft features of the main house. The result is a clever blend of contemporary wallcoverings, beautiful fabrics, quirky items, oak and painted furniture, relaxing colours and up to the minute kitchen and bathrooms – all of which would not look out of place on the pages of household interior magazines.

Approached via a long gravelled driveway its parkland setting offers ample parking and the use of its superb five acres of land including river (with swing), orchard and woodland walks.

Internally, the living accommodation oozes country house charm. A truly magical ‘coast meets country’ escape!

Candid Comments

Almost perfect!

The Lodge is attached to the owner’s house but privacy should not be an issue, although you may see the owner walking past to the greenhouse occasionally! Mobile reception can be erratic at the Lodge and in Embleton generally, but there is a landline phone.

Guest Reviews

The Lodge was perfect - I chose its facilities and location very carefully and they did not disappoint. Extremely high quality property as reviewed on your website

We loved the peaceful location, did the walk down to Embleton beach several times, spent hours on the deck reading books and drinking wine and even ventured to the Ocean Club which was a wonderful surprise. We went in the evening when there were no children around and it was a perfect way to round off the day. The dimmed lights, the quiet pool and the loungers made it quite a romantic place for couples like us!

Thanks to Anne for looking after us and to Fiona and the team in the office for answering all of our questions and making the booking procedure so easy. The cottage was perfect, so thanks for guiding us to the Lodge for our special anniversary holiday

Our honeymoon has been memorable and special. We will be back. We might even make this an annual event! Thank you so much for the arrival champagne, it was a lovely wedding gift

Embleton is a wonderful little village and The Lodge is in an ideal location for a relaxing couples holiday

Beautiful, peaceful, immaculately presented cottage, which is well equipped and private.

It was just what I needed. So peaceful was an apt way to end my holiday in preparation for my return to work. Property was wonderful. . One of The best I have stayed in in all my 15 years
Thanks for going the extra mile and sorting it for me.

A hidden gem. Peaceful, homely, comfortable, great views, lovely gardens, handy for coffees at the golf club and drinks in the beer garden at the Dunstanburgh Hotel in Embleton. A great little find. Think we'll be back and will recommend to friends who will love this cottage. Thanks to the owner and Coastal Retreats

The cottage was idyllic within a peaceful setting with easy access to all the places we wanted to visit. We loved the Rennie Mackintosh style of dvecoration, much appreciated the comfortable furnishing, the well equipped kitchen and the lovely outside decking with fabulous views. In fact cannot fault anything. The owners were lovely too- friendly and concerned that we had everything we needed. Will definitely return.
Have used Coastal Retreats once before, and remain impressed by the excellent standard you ensure - not to mention the bonus of the welcoming gifts you provide! Thank you.

I cannot express in words what an amazing time we have had in the area. The Lodge was first class, Peter and Anne greeted us not long after we arrived and were really helpful in giving us tips about the area. The delivery from Food Heaven was excellent and the produce we ordered was delicious.

As usual, Coastal Retreats guided us to the right property for us. They know us so well! The Lodge was perfect - comfortable, spotlessly clean, full of character and we loved the garden and the decking. Thanks to CR and to Anne the owner. We'll come back here and will recommend to our friends

The property is superb, this was our third visit and we intend to return again. We have had a number of other properties through Coastal Retreats in the past and found them all to be excellent

We love the area and have been visiting it since the 1970s; we enjoyed the cottage very much because, although only for two, it had a sense of space, comfort and homeliness which is often difficult to find in small cottages. This was enhanced by the wonderful terrace and garden on our doorstep, a wonderful bonus given that, because of the exceptional circumstances of this year, we were able to avoid the crowded coast and relax in peace. The owners came to talk to us and were very welcoming; we also ordered a food delivery through Food Heaven and it was worth every penny, delicious and very good quality. We think Coastal/Country Retreats are very efficient, have very high standards and we would have complete faith in booking with you once more.

We have stayed at the Lodge five times and love it. We have also stayed at other properties - all lovely

Anne and Peter always make us very welcome and everything about the lodge and our week staying there was perfect.
Extremely well presented and thoroughly cleaned
I can't think of anything that could make it any better than it already is
Every aspect felt safe and very clean and sanitised
