The cottage is in a fantastic position overlooking the sea and harbour. It was very clean and tidy. It does maybe need of a little TLC as the decor could do with updating but that said I would not hesitate in coming back.

This cottage is all about the location - sea views from lounge and bedroom, right on the harbour at Craster. Good parking, friendly neighbours in a lovely village. Inside the property is very basic, chilly, reminded me of a student house. Smelt strongly of dogs, particularly the old leather sofas. The blinds collapsed in the childrens bedroom, we nRead moreeeded heating (in August) and this worked eventually but I wouldnt think it would be warm enough in winter. Hide

The property was clean, and a great location but we felt it was quite basic, and could do with updating. Furniture was tired. We felt the photo's online made the property look far more attractive than we found it. We wouldn't return to this property.

The property trades heavily on it's location. It has a tired air and considering it pricing the cottage needs an upgrade in terms of both decor and furnishing.

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.
