Property code: OC-GD1855

Bursting with character and style, this delightful cottage offers the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Set in the fishing village of Craster, famous for its smoked kippers, guests can experience a slice of traditional Northumbrian village life, while benefitting from easy access to the region’s attractions and amenities. After days filled with coastal walks, historic sites and incredible wildlife, this charming abode offers a cosy lounge and additional living room with awe-inspiring views over Dunstanburgh Castle and out to sea.

Arranged over three storeys, this warm and welcoming cottage blends wooden floors, beamed ceilings, latched doors and cosy fireplaces with stylish, contemporary furnishings to superb effect. Enjoy sociable evenings in the light and fresh kitchen, preparing meals and then gathering to dine next to the large picture window. You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to relaxing after the day’s adventures. Cosy up in the inviting lounge beneath an atmospheric beamed ceiling with the wood burner roaring in cool weather, or head up to the second floor where a light-filled living room sits beneath the eaves with sublime views along the coast to Dunstanburgh Castle. Then snuggle up in the two tranquil bedrooms – a king-size and a twin – on the first floor. A family bathroom completes the interior, while an open lawned garden offers space for a cuppa in the salty sea air.

Set within the Northumberland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Craster offers peaceful walks and divine smoked kippers, said to be favourites of the British Royal Family. Visit the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, or venture along the coast to visit the magnificent Bamburgh Castle and the sweeping golden beach at its base (12.5 miles). Wildlife lovers can head to the Farne Islands to see nesting seabirds and seals (boats depart from Seahouses Harbour, 12.5 miles).

Incredible location and very clean. The attic in particular is amazing place to relax. Unfortunately at the dates of our stay there were builders next door so quite a lot of noise and disruption.

The cottage is in a beautiful position overlooking Dunstanburgh castle. We were warm even without the log burner. The beds were very comfortable. The top floor room was delightfullight and warm with wonderful views. Manoeuvring out of the parking spot was a bit tricky. Not to be attempted in a very big car.

Idyllic! beautiful setting and very peaceful. Favourite parts - sitting in the top floor lounge with the Juliet balcony engaged so we could enjoy stunning views across to the sea and Dunstaburgh Castle. Second favourite - the wood burner! Every room had beautiful views across to the Castle or Village of Craster. Lovely big kitchen with every utensiRead morel we needed. The two lounges gave us room to be together or have some solitude from each other. Will definitely be back and can thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants a peaceful holiday. Hide

Lovely comfortable cottage with lovely resident neighbours, very peaceful just away from the main walking route through Craster. Great wildlife to see, Seabirds on nearby cliffs, dolphins just offshore and abundant small birds. Great to have a nice big parking space for one car in a village as busy as this. As others have noted however there isRead more no welcome pack or even a pint of milk so bring your own or drive to Longhaughton. We found the caf did not offer anything other than sit in service despite the description suggesting otherwise. As others have stated there are no dishwasher tablets provided, we found the washing bowl uncleanable so bought our own. We were glad we brought our own over gloves and tea towels as the former was not provided and the latter were not clean. Every other aspect of the cottage was very good so it was a pity about these few issues which did not take away from the comfort provided by the cottage. The cost of self catering has shot up in the last few years so we may well not take as many holidays of this type in future. The 250 deposit seems excessive particularly when Original took a full 7 days to return it (we have used other agents who return their smaller deposit on the first working day after the holiday).
