A Northumberland farm which expanded into tourism has been given the green light for a £1m development of holiday cottages complete with hot tubs.
Growing demand for staycations in the region has led the owners of North Farm Cottages in Embleton to invest the seven-figure sum, adding six new stone cottages to its accommodation with views of the Northumberland coast. Construction is now under way with the first holidaymakers expected to stay in early summer.
Property specialist George F. White advised North Farm Cottages on the venture and led the planning process. With the addition of the six new units, the holiday site will be home to 20 holiday let cottages. The cottages have been designed to complement their rural setting by the coast, using stone brick and exposed beams.
