Caster Harbour is just moments from this chic three-bedroom cottage. Lap up the sea views from your waterfront garden, walk the coastal path to Dunstanburgh Castle and explore the village at your leisure - private parking is an added perk! One of Craster''s original fishermen''s cottages, this lovingly restored harbourside home today offers a tranquil base for a break with family or friends.
Park at the rear and head down six stone steps to the back door which leads straight into a handy utility/boot room, with space to store all your outdoor gear. A glazed door opens into the contemporary kitchen - complete with all the self-catering essentials - then a step leads down to the dining room. After dinner, unwind in the lounge where there''s a Smart TV and shuttered windows with a lovely view of the harbour; the adjacent hallway has front-door access to the water''s edge. When it''s time to retire, there are two blissful double bedrooms on the first floor, one overlooking the rear garden, and the other with a wonderful sea view. The family bathroom is also on this level, while on the second floor, a dreamy twin bedroom is set into the eaves and has a superb view across the harbour to the sea beyond. Soak up the sunshine and far-reaching seascapes from your front garden, just across the road to the front of the cottage, where there''s a choice of seating across two prettily planted terraces. There''s a lawned area to the rear of your holiday home too.
Shop for seaside-inspired arts and crafts, follow your nose to the kipper smokehouse or simply watch the fishing boats in the harbour, Craster is a great base for a laid-back break. Alternatively, stretch your legs with a mile-long walk along the coastal path to Dunstanburgh Castle, or stroll around Howick Hall Gardens and Arboretum (3 miles). The beautiful sandy bay and breathtaking golf course at Embleton are a similar distance, while Alnwick Castle is 6 miles, Seahouses - for boat trips to the Farne Islands - is 10.5 miles, and Bamburgh Castle is 13 miles.
