About this property
Situated at the end of Bridlington’s sea front promenade, only 100 metres from the beach, is this well-positioned five-bedroom cottage, The Emberton at 9 Lime Kiln Lane. Built in a 1930s modernist style, it is one of the most distinctive retro properties in Bridlington. Just a stone's throw away from the sea, whilst boasting a contemporary living space, a private rear garden, spacious bedrooms, and sought-after off-road parking, the pet-friendly cottage is ideal for a group escape, nestled near a wealth of attractions. Throughout The Emberton you will find all essential appliances to help you enjoy your self-catering stay to its fullest, whilst benefiting from flexible sleeping arrangements across both the first and second floor for nine guests. Sea glimpses are also expected, across the east coast, displaying the cottage's nautical roots, whilst mixed with stylish furnishings and finishes. Dine as a group, rest your eyes, unwind, relish in the sunshine, refresh, and make memories from your new home-from-home. Heading into Bridlington along the seafront promenade, be welcomed by stretches of sandy shores, indefinitely providing the seaside experience, and tour the 'Old Town', brimming with restaurants, shops, and historic landmarks; take in your stunning surroundings by dining at Salt on the Harbour, or aboard the Yorkshire Belle to truly feel at one with the sea. The Spa Theatre and Royal Hall provides evening entertainments all year round. Being located at the end of Bridlington’s promenade, turn left outside the house to walk along the cliff tops to Sewerby village and Flamborough Head, with its coves and caves. Bridlington South Beach is also on your doorstep, whilst Bridlington Animal Park offers a fun day out for all. Travelling to Filey, a further popular town, tour its resident Museum, engage with different species at Filey Bird Garden and Animal Park, or hike across Filey Brigg, set at 20 metres high. By car, you'll have the chance to visit Scarborough Castle, and its 3,000 years of history, discover sea turtles, explore penguin island, and observe 500 species of shark at SEA LIFE Scarborough, or perhaps locate Scarborough Art Gallery and its exhibit of fine art.

Bridlington is a coastal resort on Yorkshire's east coast, south of Scarborough and Filey. Two award-winning golden sand beaches, both packed with activity, spread out on each side of the ancient harbour.

What let it down was things other guests have mentioned. The shower door in the front bedroom needs fixing, I was able to open and close it for my wife but less able people will struggle. The shower unit is also not functioning properly, the shower head keeps dropping. Then we come to the large bedroom at the back of the house on the left with the super king. Guests are asked to strip the bed probably not a wise ask, because the duvet was disgusting, there was what looked like blood on it and heavily stained. Then the bed itself was really badly stained, hopefully it was large sweat stains and not urine. A mattress protector is needed. This isnât travel lodge this is an expensive stay, so you expect a minimum standard, this didnât reach that. These things can be easily fixed and Iâd suggest these are sorted. I took photos of the bed.

The back garden is a real highlight, featuring a large table with plenty of seatingâperfect for soaking up the sun. Itâs nicely sheltered by trees, too, which helps block out the wind. Inside, the place feels modern, especially the kitchen, which is really impressive. Everything was spotless, and the owners have clearly invested in top-quality beds, bedding, and pillowsâmaking a huge difference for a comfortable night's sleep. The location is hard to beat, right on the beachfront and just a 20-minute walk to Bridlington town center. Highly recommended!
