Admire the sea views from the garden of this traditional former fisherman’s cottage, built from local whinstone in around 1906. Spend quality time with up to seven other guests and two canine companions in the cosy living spaces with white-washed wooden beamed ceilings, an open fire and homely, neutral-toned decor. Enjoy the cliff-top walking trails, quaint seaside villages and secluded coves of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Lovely cottage in beautiful location. Quiet and peaceful only a few metres from the sea. Lovely walk across the field to Dunstanbrough Castle. Very little in Craster village except a wonderful smokehouse selling fresh smoked kippers and other fish. A real treat to have kippers for breakfast everyday. There is also a restaurant/pub serving very nRead moreice food, but its expensive and will need to book. The cottage is quite large, well equipped, warm, clean and comfy. Lovely welcome basket of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. If you want somewhere away from crowds this is a great location. Hide
