Craster Colours is a quirky, colourful and comfortable house. We had a lovely week despite the weather. Very well equipped with everything you need for self catering. We had a small problem with the electrics but this was dealt with and instructions given to help.us fix the problem. The grandchildren loved the garden and all the toys in the house.

We had a great stay at Coaster Colours. A lot of thought has clearly gone into making it as comfortable and well-equipped as possible and it was great that it was so dog friendly (we really appreciated the towels in particular!). The house worked really well for our group of 3 families over New Year and is in a great location.
