Overview
Property code: 79436

This pretty, 19th-century cottage is nestled in a peaceful hamlet on the Northumberland coast. Six guests are welcome at this welcoming characterful property which is just around the corner from a friendly local pub. The pretty fishing village of Craster is 1 mile away which has the remains of the pretty Dunstanburgh Castle.

The property boasts many traditional features such as exposed stone walls and wooden panels. On entering, you’ll find a cosy sunroom with comfortable seating, ideal for enjoying a peaceful morning coffee. The superb country-style kitchen is bright and airy, and well-equipped for you to cook up a storm. Find some great mod-cons in the lounge including a PlayStation 3 and Bluetooth speaker. Upstairs are the first two bedrooms while the second set of stairs take you to the fantastic master suite which has magnificent views of the coast. Outside is a patio area for al fresco dining in the evenings or sipping a morning coffee before a busy day exploring the area.

Craster is known as the ‘home of the kipper’ and it’s no surprise that you can find some fantastic seafood restaurants and some lovely country pubs here. Hop in the car and enjoy a family day out at Alnwick Castle (7 miles), home to Harry Potter-inspired events. While you’re here, visit the eclectic mix of shops and eateries or pick up some local produce to cook a meal at home.

Although this cottage is described as dog friendly, the gardens are far from being enclosed! There is a farm gate in one and with railings and a low wall in another, my terrier could have easily made a getaway after the local rabbits!! I think Holiday Cottages needs to inspect properties more carefully as we have previously had to cancel a booking Read moreto another property after spotting a gap in a fence in a photo!! Hide

An overall excellent family holiday. The cottage was great and bigger than expected. There was plenty of room for two adults, two grown-up teenagers and a dog. Very clean, well equipped and tastefully furnished. The location is brilliant. An easy walk (10 minutes through the field) into Craster. Plenty to see and do within a (less than) 30 minute dRead morerive. Would definitely recommend. Hide

Well equipped and comfortable cottage, we had a lovely stay here. Its about a 15 minute walk into Craster itself but a short walk to the nearby pub and is a good location for visiting the rest of the Northumberland coast.

Lovely cottage located on the outskirts of Craster. 20 minute walk to the sea in Craster or about 35mins to Embleton. Terrific location, nicely presented house with all mod cons. 10 mins drive to Alnwick and not not much more up to Bamburgh. We were very happy with our stay here and will almost certainly be back.

Lovely cottage well situated on the Northumberland coast. The cottage is very well equipped and nicely furnished. The only negative point is the stairs are a little steep and need to be used with care.

The cottage was a lovely place in which to stay. Our only moan was that the cistern handle on the upstairs loo was broken. We were able to fix it. The facilities were great for four of us and we really like the little sun room.

Lovely cottage - comfortable, bright and sunny accommodation. Enjoyed relaxing in the sun on the terrace, and watching the nesting birds right outside the window. Direct Path to Craster right outside the cottage made the walk easy. Excellent, good value meals in the adjacent pub was another bonus!

A lovely cottage in a fantastic location, less than 1 mile from Craster. The rooms were all larger than we thought they would be! Located next door but one to a pub (dog friendly) that does great food and takeaways. Some lovely local walks on footpaths or very quiet roads.
