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).
