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.

The cottage was just as detailed in the description if not better! Above all very clean and with everything working! Parking for 2 cars was a bonus. Location was lovely, peaceful and relaxing. Great communication throughout the booking process and emailing of information for arrival day. Couldnt fault it all.

Beautiful cottage in a perfect location within the village. A cottage with sharp knives and gin glasses has to be a winner!

A well equipped cottage in such a peaceful spot. Sleeps 6 comfortably. We were a party of 5 and 2of the party had mobility issues and the information on the property meant that we knew the stairs may cause an issue, but the down stairs loo solved this. The ramp to the main road was invaluable to support accessing the car for our party, so much easiRead moreer than using the track at the back of the cottage, as this is where the parking is situated on a slope . All our party were happy with the location and cottage. Just a note the dining chairs are a little worn so we sank into them, but we solved that issue with cushions from the settee. These aided our card nights. Also the settees proved a little low for one of the party but a pillow solved that. The guest in question is in her early 80s , so we expected a few access issues. None of which spoiled our holiday. The cottage has a great view of the harbour from the sitting room, the garden offers a bigger sea view and the road has access to the walk to Dunstanburgh Castle, which the more able in our party did several times over the week. Even my 80+ year old aunt and 70+ mother- mobility issues managed a good distance on the level ish walk by the sea to the castle. The location is a great base for the area, nothing is more than half hours drive-Alnwick, Almouth, Amble, Bamburgh, Seahouses, Rothbury / cragside and Hawick were all visited. Youll be spoiled for choice. As I told a friend Ive found a new favourite place with amazing big skies. Craster is a little gem and I hope to be back to Hideaway. There were other cottages but I feel Hideaway has the best location. If you book it you wont be disappointed . Hide

The DVD player did not work, I had bought DVDs with us to watch and was unable to. The singe bed which I slept in in the twin room with the full sized wardrobe was very uncomfortable - too soft would recommend getting a firmer mattress. Also putting a double bed in the other twin room if possible would be much more preferable. Fantastic locationRead more and wonderful views. Hide
