Felt at home from the first moment we arrived, the little garden is a lovely little sun trap and we had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, it was spotlessly clean and they have been so helpful as I forgot my charger!
Would definitely stay again.

A magnificent stay, apart from 1 thing. The village of Whitburn, Whitburn Bents, & the costal path that stretched for miles was a surprising find. It is stunning. The mainly dog friendly beach stretches all the way to Roker. Either walking the sands or the promenade was blissful. The area where Whitburn Collery once was is now a nature reserve. All worth exploring. Emilyn House sits in the middle of it all. Easy to walk to Latimer's Seafood - a must visit & The Bay for fish and chips. The house was as described. Plenty of space to spread out in the 2 sitting rooms & kitchen. Well fitted out. Lovely bedrooms and bathrooms. What was disappointing was the lack of some req items. For example, 2 dish washer tablets & 2 rubbish sacks were not enough for a family of 4 for 4 days. There was 1 tea towel and 1 J Cloth. This was insufficient, and for the cost of the stay, felt stingy for no reason. Similarly with toilet rolls, there just wasn't enough. We had to buy some. But worth a stay there.

We were so happy and grateful to find this gem at short notice. Five of us had travelled a long way for a special family birthday but when we arrived at the property we had booked through another platform (ie not Airbnb) we took one look and walked back out - it was horrible! Thankfully Airbnb and our host came to our rescue. This is a delightful property that was a real pleasure to stay in. It's clear that the hosts have gone to a great deal of thought and effort in making the place truly welcoming. There is plenty of room and all the fixtures and fittings are to a high standard. Next time we are in the area we will definitely try to book this property again.

We hebben heel erg genoten van ons verblijf in het "Emilyn house". Alles was prima verzorgd. Opgemaakte bedden en handdoeken (1 grote en 1 kleine). En het belangrijkste is toch wel dat het er allemaal fris en schoon uit zag. Ook is er de mogelijkheid om de auto achterin de tuin te parkeren via een hek aan de zijkant van de tuin. Maar de auto kan ook gewoon naast of voor het huis geparkeerd worden. De supermarkt (Coop) in Whitburn is op loopafstand en de kust is ook prima lopend te bereiken. Voor meer winkels en activiteiten heeft het naastgelegen Sunderland genoeg te bieden. En ook de Coast Route met onder andere een aantal kastelen richting het noorden is zeker aan te raden. Als eetgelegenheid kunnen we het restaurant "Mamma Mia" aanraden in Whitburn en bij Red Box Cake kun je lekkere zoetigheden kopen.

Spotless, quiet, comfortable, warm, and well fitted out in a modern and carefully curated style, this is the best AirB&B we've ever stayed in.
Already rebooked for another stay...

Emilyn House could not be faulted. Very comfortable, well equipped, spacious, clean, well situated. Perfect for our needs - family of 4 with a small dog. We will certainly book again in the future when visiting family in the North East.

Such a lovely place to stay with a group of friends or family. We had a lovely time and enjoyed everything around the place as well as the place. Very clean and well equipped. I only wish the communication would’ve been a bit better ! We only knew how to check in after I asked for instructions and they did not give me any response on checking in earlier but I understand it might have not been their fault. Thanks for your hospitality we had a great time!

I felt at home from the very first day, everything was absolutely as claimed, loved the two sitting areas for different parts of the day. Master bath is a good size, easy to use, and Underfloor heating was a really nice feature. Bed was very clean and comfortable and I would definitely recommend this apartment. Whitburn is a lovely village and within a very easy stroll.

A great space, everything we were looking for with lots of lovely little touches which we really appreciated. A super location for the beaches too. We would definitely recommend this to others. Thank you!

The property was extremely clean and well equipped, and large enough to accommodate a group of 6 adults comfortably. Heating via ceiling panels was effective. The location was quiet and on-street parking available.
The bunk beds creaked, and this creaking was loud enough in the downstairs double bedroom beneath to cause some sleep disturbance. The property is run by a business who could not accommodate a slightly later checkout on request.

A very well equipped property that was high spec throughout. We have local knowledge of the area and so we didn’t ask for things to do from the host, but they were so informative about everything else, I’m sure recommendations would have been excellent if we had needed to ask. Very modern layout in the house. We went with our 3 year old son and with my in laws and the house catered for us all.
Very easy to find and even though the map may look like it is not near any beaches or attractions, it is a maximum of 15 minutes to South Shields and less than 5 minutes to Seaburn/Roker. Parking was never an issue on the street and there was never any noise to affect us during our stay. The property is extremely clean and room sizes are very generous. We will definitely return to this property (probably several times over).

Dale’s place is a treasure. This beautiful house behind an unassuming facade has gorgeous living spaces, a private back garden and everything we needed for a perfect family get together, dog included. The place is cosy and modern at the same time. Beautiful skylights in the kitchen/family room made it light even on dark winter days. The surroundings are exceptional and we enjoyed long walks along the coast path, beaches and Cleadon Hills. Enjoyed a fantastic seafood platter from Latimer’s on Christmas Eve - and don’t miss fish and chips at Colman’s in South Shields. We will be back!

The house was very nice with lots of high end finishes. A lot of care went into the design and I loved that the bathroom floors were warm to walk on (stayed at the end of november so needed heat).
Host was very responsive to questions prior to my stay, even late in the evening. Check in and out process was very easy
Will stay.here again when i come back to visit family

We had a lovely stay, very clean, bright and spacious, comfy beds, great bathrooms and showers, well equipped kitchen and just a comfortable house we all felt at home in. Our dogs especially liked having the outdoor space and we're looking forward to coming back in the spring and summer months. A second set of keys would've been good though as we are 2 couples and occasionally do different things during the stay.

The house is great, very spacious, plenty of amenities could not pick any faults only thing the house is lacking is a tv in the main bedroom but there’s already 2 TVs so it’s enough anyway.

A beautiful family home with everything you need. We were a party of 5; 3 adults, 2 children aged 6 and 3 and they all loved the place. Lots of space and set in a great location, close to some amazing beaches. The Seaburn and Roker area was new to us but we will be back. Great garden for the kids to play in and plenty of space in the house for relaxing. A great house for our family holiday.

I recently stayed at Emilyn's house in Whitburn for 5 days with my elderly mother and teenage children. The house is newly refurbished and in excellent condition. Everything was fresh and clean. The lovely back garden provided a great space for hanging out. With two separate sofa/TV areas, the house offered plenty of room to relax without feeling crowded. Emilyn house has easy parking right outside the property.
We are not English, so for us Whitburn is off the beaten path of tourism. We found that it offers a charming taste of village life, and the beaches of Seaburn and Roker are within easy walking distance. We also enjoyed taking walks along the breathtakingly beautiful coastal paths between South Shields and Sunderland. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I do recommend it!

I thoroughly recommend Emilyn House for couples and families. The area is great for walkers who love coastal paths, triathletes who like a safe place to train, historians and those who like good food and sandy beaches. The hosts were so very helpful and their beautiful cottage was clean, comfortable and peaceful. Highly recommended and thank you Ian and Marian.
