Lovely Place

Nice and clean just as described we had a really nice time here. Nice view of the sea from front of the house in a beautiful little fishing harbour.

Nice house

it was comfortable in the house, with the added advantage of being able to see the sea through the gap in the houses opposite. Easy to find. Soon learned to cope with parking two cars!

Walking

We were two women walking the Northumberland coast path. The space in Craster suited our needs perfectly. Location is great, space is exactly as described, nearby, pub, convenient to public transportation. It had everything we needed and more. Very communicative and accommodating host. Definitely recommend.

Craster

The house is in a great location for accessing the Coastal Path- north and south there are great walks. Angela is a helpful host and the check in process was very easy. Unlike many other local properties we were able to book a two night stay which was great for us Our bed was very comfortable Lovely seat in the front garden for morning sun and sea views. The back garden has some pretty flowers and is a great place for late afternoon sun when the front is in shade, but we didn’t have any garden furniture so couldn’t sit outside.

Great location

Located a stones throw from the Jolly Fisherman and the harbour with views of the sea beyond the row of houses in front. The location was ideal for us. The property was very clean and tidy with crockery, cutlery etc. There were bathrobes in the master bedroom. The kitchen was the most up to date room in the house and the sitting room was cosy. The hallways, bedrooms and bathroom are looking a bit tired and could benefit from a refresh of paint. There is an outside seating area although we didn’t use this - again the outside areas could do with a bit of tlc.

Schon zum runterkommen

Sehr schönes Haus mit Garten und Stühlen sowie Tisch am Eingang zur sehr ruhigen Straße hin, wo man auch ein Blick aufs Meer erhaschen kann. Craster ist dazu ein kleines ruhiges Fischdorf mit einem hervorragendem Fischrestaurant ( The Jolly Fishermen) und sehr netten Leuten. Für die Kinder war es toll, dass ein Kinderspielplatz nur knapp 15 m vom Haus entfernt war

A few days in Craster

The property was great and the village lovely. We enjoyed the ocean view from the bedroom and the kids loved having the adventure playground just down the street. Close to the local pub and great walks. Great communication with the host who made the stay easy!

Perfect for our weekend

Perfect space and location for our visit to Craster. We were walking the Macmillan Mighty Hike and needed a location that was easy access to Alnwick and Bamburgh. The accommodation was great and sitting in the garden the night before the walk was very relaxing. We managed to book into The Jolly Fisherman for a late dinner on the Saturday night. Highly recommended for both food and ambience so definitely pre book. This is a very comfortable holiday cottage and we will book again.

A nice peaceful getaway in a lovely location

The property is in a lovely location in the village with sea views and close to the playground and rocks, which the kids loved playing on. The kitchen was brand new and well equipped and the owner had kindly left some food and treats for us all. Apparently wi-fi and a new TV had just been installed but we didn't use either as the kids were happy being outdoors. The main bedroom is lovely and spacious and the smaller room is cosy for kids. As per previous reviews some of the decor is a little tired but that did not detract from the enjoyment of our stay. My only suggestion would be perhaps to install some darker blinds/curtains.....the sun was streaming in at 4.30am in June! We like to visit the area each year and would definitely come back to this cottage.

Clean, cosy and well-located

The cottage was cosy and welcoming, and the breakfast items and little toiletry samples were much appreciated. It was also spotlessly clean. I would say that it is showing slightly more signs of wear and tear than can be seen in the photos, but this did not affect our enjoyment of the cottage. The location is great, both for exploring Craster and the wider area. I'd definitely recommend the cottage to others.
