Property code: OC-79891

This semi-detached former fisherman's cottage in Craster, Northumberland, oozes with cosy rustic charm. With a pretty harbour and the Northumberland Coast Path on your doorstep, this welcoming property makes an idyllic destination for groups of six.

This inviting bolthole carefully blends traditional features with mod cons, so you have everything needed for a stress-free, cosy stay. Exposed beams, stone walls and a wood burner make the lounge extra toasty after windy walks on the coast path, or perhaps perch near the window to admire the glorious views towards Craster Harbour and beyond. The colourful kitchen features a striking brick fireplace housing a wood burner-effect electric fire, while the elegant dining room is full of character and contains a feature fireplace. If your four-legged friend has come along for the fun, the handy utility room is perfect for storing doggie accessories and there is also a handy downstairs WC. Upstairs, choose from three restful bedrooms: a charming double with a grand metal bed and sea views and two twin rooms with exposed wooden beams. The outside space has a brick BBQ and rustic seating for alfresco meals in the sunshine.

Craster, a fishing village known for its Robson's Craster Kippers, is a fantastic place to while away a few hours and sample some of the local cuisines. Pop in the local inn for a pint or quiet coffee, watch the boats bob in the harbour or book a sea-fishing expedition. Join the Northumberland Coast Path here and follow the route for 1 mile to Dunstanburgh Castle, an iconic ruin with a dramatic exterior. Alnwick is 7 miles away, offers a wide range of shops, and plays host to Alnwick Castle and its award-winning gardens.

Perfect location, all amenities close by are good. We had a wonderful holiday and would love to return. The boiler smell was a slight concern.

A spacious comfortable cottage and in a good location in the village away from the daily influx of walkers on the way to Dunstanburgh filing past the cottages on the front but still offering views of the harbour and sea. Whilst it could do with an upgrade in some areas it retains a homely feel, a good welcome pack was provided, including wine, and Read morethe cottage had been decorated for the festive period which was a lovely touch. Overall we enjoyed our stay in a village we have come to love over our years of visiting it. Hide

We had a lovely stay, the cottage was clean and well equipped and is very well located for walks straight from the door. The local pub and cafe were a short walk away. Would stay again.

This is an old cottage nicely situated close to the harbour in a lovely historic village. Great harbour view from the living room and main bedroom. Excellent off road parking for two cars. We had a most enjoyable week's stay.

The cottage was just right for us. The location was great. Parking for cottage was good. We have an EV and found EV charging points in Alnwick to be very reliable and quick. There are charging points in Craster car park too.
