Craster Cottage

About this property

Nestled snugly in the heart of Craster, where the Northumberland coast and the warmth of home converge, rests the charming Craster Cottage. This four-bedroom haven, thoughtfully tailored for comfort and serenity, welcomes up to seven guests for a coastal getaway to remember.

As you step into this coastal sanctuary, the rustic living room’s open fireplace and comfy sofas radiate warmth and comfort, casting a mesmerizing glow that complements the coastal charm. It's a space where stories find their voice, where cherished memories will form of cosying up with a book or sharing a bottle of wine in the evenings.

A delightful dining room ensures every meal becomes an experience, as you watch the world bob by on the ocean outside whilst the well-stocked kitchen has all you need from dishwasher to toaster to create hearty meals together.  Complete with boardgames, jigsaws and a Smart TV in the living room you’ll be tempted never to leave the wood-beamed comfort of Craster Cottage!

The sleeping accommodation is spread over two regal doubles, one super-king and one king size both with basins and tastefully decorated, promising nights of peaceful repose. A further twin room and a snug single room, each a haven in its own right, complete the rooms with three bathrooms (one downstairs) two with showers and one with bathtub to share amongst your group.  

Embracing the outdoors, the cottage boasts an inviting al fresco terrace at the front, extending an open invitation to savour the crisp sea-kissed air. To the rear, a carefully arranged patio adorned with a barbecue beckons, a canvas for gatherings under the open sky.

Beyond the cottage's walls, Craster beckons—a village steeped in coastal allure and local treasures. Explore the rugged paths, delight in the famed Craster kippers, or simply lose yourself in the gentle cadence of village life and the caress of the nearby sea.

With the Northumberland beaches, castles and beauty spots within close proximity, Craster Cottage provides an idyllic rural setting offering peace and privacy whilst being up close to the bustling action of neighbouring towns.

Set amongst the rugged natural beauty of England’s wild north coast, there is much to explore and discover.  Just a few minutes’ walk away will take you to Craster harbour, well worth a visit if you are looking for some fresh seafood fare and a bustling pub scene.  L Robson & Sons has a traditional fish smoker producing Craster Kippers that you can pick up for lunch, whilst the Jolly Fisherman is a great pub with a seaside terrace and oysters on the menu.  Walk off your feast by taking a scenic stroll down the Northumberland Costal Path which passes right through the pub terrace.

If you are looking for some history then a stroll around the headland of the crumbling Dunstanburgh Castle is a must, the focus of intense fighting during the War of the Roses providing an embattled buffer between England and Scotland.  Take the twenty-five-minute walk from Craster to fully appreciate the scale and drama of the castle approach.  You could even stop off at the golden sands of Embleton Bay to enjoy a lazy snooze and a spectacular view.

Just a fifteen-minute drive away is the historic Alnwick Castle, stroll amongst the courtyards and archways that featured dominantly in the first two Harry Potter films as the location for Hogwarts.   Right next to the castle are the beautiful Alnwick Gardens, a 12-acre landscaped garden with its grand tiered water feature, the Grand Cascade, exotic plant life and impressive wooden treehouse restaurant.

If the rolling waves are calling to you, why not take a boat trip to the fantastic Farne Islands, between Seahouses and Bamburgh.  At its peak it’s home to upwards of 100,000 pairs of breeding birds with 290 species found on the island, most notably the Puffin who build their nests there.  From March to November boats can be taken for stop offs on the two islands, an absolute must for nature lovers.
