Whether you are drawn to the picture-postcard views of bobbing boats and sandy shores or the local delicacy of smoked kippers, Craster is a charming destination for your holiday. Sleeping five guests in a lavish setting, this property has marvellous views of the village and plenty of home comforts for families and small groups alike. Return from bracing walks along the coastline to luxuriate in the deep copper bath, and tuck into some local fare over a glass of wine in front of the wood burner.

Stylish and contemporary with a traditional twist, the interior of this stone property combines comfortable furniture with a hint of luxury. The open-plan living space has a dual-aspect wood burner for chilly nights, which is best appreciated over dinner at the table or whilst watching a film in the lounge. Cook up a storm in the elegant kitchen or perch at the breakfast bar with a glass of wine, stepping through the French doors to watch the boats from the seating area. Upstairs, the three bedrooms are ideal for a restful night’s sleep, two of which feature their own en-suite washing facilities including the master suite with its deep copper bath. Completing the property is a useful shower room.

Boasting traditional inns, a pretty shop and a popular smokehouse, Craster is brimming with potential for a seaside break in Northumberland. Sample the catch of the day fresh from the sea, relax on the sandy beach, or lace up your boots and walk the 0.5-mile route to Dunstanburgh Castle to soak up some history. Further afield, Howick Hall, 3 miles away, is an excellent destination for a day trip, especially if you take the time to spot the resident wildlife en route.

Cottage and location are amazing. Cottage is clean, well equipped, warm and cozy. We had a lovely week over New Year and would definitely recommend it as a brilliant base to explore Northumberland. The Jolly Fisherman pub is warm and welcoming and the staff are amazing. The cafe up the street serves the best cheese scones! The parking at the cottagRead moree needs to be better marked out because we had an issue from the outset when the neighbouring cottage parked 4 cars instead of 2. Hide

Lovely cottage right on the front of the harbour. Very well equipped. We went in September and weather was great but you do end up sitting in the shade next to road if you are looking to sit outside. Blinds on windows which is great otherwise you could feel like you are on show with people walking past great walks from cottage and the pub 2 minutesRead more walk if that is brilliant Hide
