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

Berwick on Tweed was an excellent day out the ramparts and museum very well worth the drive. Exploring all the walks around Craster. Dolphins, seal, spotted. Good mix of coast and country can be obtained staying at Beggars Roost Cottage.

Just to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Beggars Roost in Craster last week. The cottage was lovely and warm, cosy and spotlessly clean when we arrived, we will certainly recommend it to friends and family. We all had a great week visiting the sights of Northumberland.

The cottage is clean and warm and the beds are very comfortable. Great little cottage, lots of local places to visit but would recommend the garden center for cake and coffee and lots of nice plants.

The cottage was lovely. We enjoyed some fantastic walks from Craster along the beautiful coastline - highly recommended! Howick Hall Gardens make a lovely afternoon out and a boat trip out to the Farne Islands is a must. We'll definitely come back!

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.
