    “Loved the peace and quiet of the cottage setting.”

    Short walk to isolated beaches. Coastal path on your doorstep, but not literally. Wouldn't want to recommend it too much as we'd like to keep it a secret. Host was helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Night skies were amazing. Lack of light pollution meant that we were able to see thousands of stars that aren't visible at home. Best pub was just down the road, The Cottage inn. Lots of locals, as well as visitors. Just the way we like it.

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: The pull-out truckle bed is only suitable for a child.
Note: Two small well-behaved dogs welcome. No short breaks accepted. Towels and tea towels are not provided - please bring your own.
