Overlooking Craster Harbour, this charming and characterful, renovated 1823 fisherman’s cottage is perfect for a group of up to six guests who want a tranquil holiday by the sea. Nautical-themed decor fills this spacious and cheerful property, and evenings can be enjoyed outside on the patio while dining alfresco. Explore the golden, sandy beaches, quaint villages and historic castles in the surrounding Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
As you enter this three-storey property, you’ll be met with a traditional cottage lounge decorated in neutral tones, boasting an eye-catching exposed stone wall and a warming wood burner. Cook a hearty meal in the quirky kitchen/diner with glossy contemporary cabinets, and a tucked-away wooden dining table. Also on the ground floor is a convenient utility room plus a shower room. Climb the stairs to find a family bathroom, king-size and twin room on the first floor. The second floor contains a super-king-size bedroom in the eaves with views of the harbour. Outside is a patio with furniture and sea views.
There’s no better way to start your day than a stroll around the postcard-perfect Craster Harbour before exploring the rest of the village. Stop at the gallery, pick up some freshly caught seafood from the fishmonger and sample the local delicacy – smoked kippers. Put on your hiking boots for an adventure along the Dunstanburgh Castle Walk (less than 0.5 miles) until you reach the 14th-century castle ruins (1 mile), or follow the Northumberland Coast Path (0.5 miles). Go for a splash at the sandy Longhoughton Beach (5.5 miles).
