“A large and comfortable house close to the coastal Craster and surrounded by wooded countryside.”

Well furnished with everything you may need for a stay. Light and airy with excellent heating in cooler times. Situated in the small Dunstan village, it is convenient for walking or driving to explore the North East coast with pubs, restaurants and stores all close by.

“Jan, the owner, couldn’t have done any more for us.”

She was communicative throughout the build up to us arriving, met us at the property and was always available for any queries. The house was very clean, well equipped and very comfortable. I would have no hesitation in recommending the property.

“As this was our 5th trip to Smithy Court finding Jan there to welcome us made it feel like we were home again.”

The property is so close to beaches and attractions we love to visit and the grandchildren love to come every time. The space in the property meets all our needs and we just love it. See you next year.

“The property was lovely and well placed for sightseeing.”

The only problem we had was that we had a number of power cuts , the fault of Northern Power Grid , not the fault of the owners.

“A beautiful comfortable cottage with everything you could possibly need inside.”

If you have children, they are more than catered for with toys, games and books for rainy days. Perfectly situated in the small country village of Dunstan and yet the sea and beach under a mile away, best of both worlds, plus a local pub 100 yards away complete with small play area outside for the kids, serving tasty meals if you fancy a night off cooking! 10 out of 10 from me, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend

“Such a lovely cottage with everything you could possibly need.”

Clean and well presented. Great location to walk into craster and then onto dunstanburgh castle. Near Alnwick for shops. Garden perfect for our 6 year old to burn off some energy. Will definitely return in the future. Thank you!

“A fantastic holiday house.”

Well equipped, cosy, immaculately clean and spacious. We all loved it (two adults and 4 children) and didn't want to leave. Jan the owner was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

“This is a lovely cottage in a quiet area.”

We have visited on about 8 occasions now so I think that says a lot about how much we love it. It has a lovely feel to it and has everything you could wish for in a holiday cottage.

About the location

CRASTER

Alnwick 7 miles; Embleton 3 miles.

A picturesque village that seems to tumble into the sea, Craster was an important fishing harbour in the 17th century and is still famous for its oak cured kippers which have graced the best breakfast tables for more than 150 years. The village offers a pub serving food, a fish restaurant and Robson's famous fish shop. There is also an excellent children's playground. Nearby are some of Northumberland's finest sandy beaches. Just south of Craster is Howick Hall, which was built in 1782 and has associations with the Grey family, including Earl Grey the great social reformer and tea enthusiast. The gardens at Howick Hall are open to the public during the spring and summer and are especially worth a visit during the rhododendron season. A walk along the coastal footpath to the north of Craster brings you to the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle - the largest ruined castle in Northumberland.

Note: There is storage in the garage
Maximum one booking per week, Saturday arrival only.
