The cottage is ideally located as a base for exploring Northumberland. It was perfect for two. Although fine for us - both retired - the stairs could be a challenge for the less mobile, quite steep.

Excellent location right on the front - fabulous views out to sea. Only about 50yds from start of path to Dunstanburgh Castle (turn left out the front of the cottage and you are there). Short walk around the harbour to the pub and the restaurant / coffee shops.

This cottage is in the most perfect location. It was wild and windy weather throughout our stay and we enjoyed watching the dramatic sea through the windows. The cottage was warm and cosy - perfect to return to after a day out in the wind and the rain. Its a very short walk to an excellent pub (The Jolly Fisherman).

The location of Beggars Roost is amazing in all weathers- its great to sit in a warm bedroom watching people out in the cold taking pictures of the storms battering the harbour. The views are breathtaking at any time of day. Craster is just a lovely place to relax or as a base to discover the Northumbrian coast. We loved it

Reviewed by P I Blakemore 11th February 2018

Beggars Roost at Craster was an ideal cottage for myself and husband to have 3 nights 'away from it all'.I am a very fussy customer and the cottage was spotless. Lovely to be so close to the sea. Kippers in a bun from 'Pipers Pitch' are a must. Looking forward to returning for some more R and R.

Lovely stay at Beggars Roost Cottage, Great location on the edge of Craster Harbour. Cottage was clean and well furnished and had everything we required during our stay. Lovely view over the harbour watching Oystercatchers, Redshank and Eider amongst other wildlife.Had kippers from Craster and the Jolly Fisherman pub was very nice sitting by the fiRead morere having a great meal, the Fish Board was very nice. We had some great walks with the dog along Beadnall Bay, Bamburgh and Alnmouth and the cottage was ideally located for walks up to Dunstanburgh and down the coast to Howick and beyond. Great views, scenery and wildlife. Craster is a great base to travel to different towns and we went to Bamburgh, Seahouses and Alnwick (all within approx 10 miles). Would recommend the cottage and its location to anyone searching for somewhere to enjoy the Northumbrian Coastline. Hide

Note: As the postcode is used to identify the general area of the property, it may not always reflect its precise location, therefore please only use this map as a guide.

If you’re looking for a seaside holiday with a difference, visit Northumberland – a region brimming with beautiful golden, sandy beaches, rolling hills, craggy moorland, bustling market towns and fishing villages, and more castles than in any other county in England.

Situated in the North East of England, this designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty boasts no less than 39 miles of unspoilt coastline to explore and a calendar packed with exhilarating water sports options. To indulge in a spot of surfing, kayaking or powerboating, take a trip to one of the many breath-taking Northumberland beaches - where dogs love a good walk and fresh local seafood is never far away.

Home to the awe-inspiring Cheviot Hills and the historical Hadrian’s Wall, the Northumberland National Park is renowned for its open spaces, award-winning Dark Skies and stunning rural backdrops - and is the least populated national park in Britain. Offering access to challenging hikes, horse-riding, rock-climbing and a multitude of other action-packed activities, the park is one of the region’s greatest draws.

There is a huge range of spectacular wildlife and sea life waiting to be sighted, whether you take a boat ride to the Farne Islands to admire the colony of Atlantic grey seals and puffins, or explore the Kielder Water and Forest Park, home to magnificent ospreys. If it’s history you’re looking for, the imposing Bamburgh Castle and the world-famous Alnwick Castle are undoubtedly worth a visit.

Alternatively, if you’re seeking the bright lights of a city adventure, Newcastle upon Tyne is the place to go. Here, you can experience world-class culture, outstanding attractions, superb shopping, impressive live shows, top entertainers and delicious cuisine in abundance.
